Back when I was playing EverQuest one of the worst things was “Spawn Camping.” Spawn camping is when you sit in a certain spot waiting for the proper NPC, beast, what have you to appear. I always hated spawn camping and is one of the reasons I do not play Everquest today.

Now, you ask, why are you telling me this. The point of the previous paragraph was to point out that Police officers are spawn campers in the avenue of everyday life. They sit on the side of the road waiting for a speeder to spawn or sit in a white van waiting for a certain criminal to spawn. It turns out that a police officers life can be equated to a video game, EverQuest. Yes. EverQuest.

In EverQuest you have quests, in police work, you have cases. In EverQuest you have class trainers, in police work as well. In EverQuest, the more you use your weapon, the better you get. The same is true for police work. In EverQuest you have “epics”, in police work you do as well. In EverQuest you have guilds, in police work you have departments.

So all you gamers, tired of sittin on your arse in front of a computer? Play the real game. The game of life and sign up to be a police officer.

The reason i left Star Wars Galaxies back in february was the poor implementation of PVP and the Galactic war. Due to much arm twisting, my brother talked me into re-opening my accounts last month. Since then, i’ve been pretty much just trying to rebuild from my total loss of houses and items inside (including a full suit of Storm Trooper armor).
This past evening, I ended up heading to Lok to “rescue” my brother who had been stood up by a mayor of a city that was going to grant him building rights. We ended up running a few missions and found ourself at a huge imperial player city. Now myself and my brother are both covert imperials. We are running thru the city to find a garage to repair our speederbikes when we notice 3 overt/declared rebels running past us. I immediately begin to question there motives as this is an imperial city. After they left our site, we informed one of the locals that we had seen rebel sympathizers running thru the city and they ended up calling reinforcements.

Now, I was planning on staying out of it for 2 reasons. 1. I was a covert member and didnt want to blow my cover. 2. It was not my fight. Unfortunately, my brother didnt see it the same way. In Galaxies, when you heal an overt member while covert you get whats called a TEF or temporary enemy flag. He is practicing to become a combat medic so he sees a great opportunity to get some free experience. What he doesnt realize is that by doing so, he just TEF’d himself. All of a sudden I get a message that he had been incapp’d. I immediately seek him out and heal him which, of course, TEF’d myself. Being an almost master bounty hunter, i’m pretty much invincible when i’m fully doctor buffed and have some brandy in me. So I immediately went after the rebel that incap’d my bro. Needless to say, it was the funnest fight I have ever had in Galaxies ever. The PvP system is definately more viable now and I look forward to when I can start hunting Jedi who dont know how to keep themself under the radar.

I’ve been saying ever since Bush took office that the economy has been dying. Just look at our current gas prices. Its the highest it has ever been. We know its not all due to the war. Its partly due to “Big Business” running our economy and government.

Phil Singer, John Kerry’s spokesman, helped point out a big problem in Bush’s planning of our economy. According to him, the private sector has LOST 1.9 million jobs since Bush has taken office. This is due to Bush’s mishandling of our economy and we need to get him out of office before he does permanent damage.

People think I’m crazy when I start talking about Bush and the way he has mishandled this war. Apparently, i’m not the only one.Daddy Bush doesnt approve of the way his son is handling the war either. “As public support for the war wanes, political strategists have urged the former President to come out publicly for his son.s war but their arguments have fallen on defiant ears.” Its apparent that Daddy Bush believes his son has mishandled intelligence to tie Saddam Hussein to 9/11 when there was no solid evidence. This article is a great read. http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_4685.shtml

Even though i’m called Mr. Paranoid at times, its pretty bad when ones own father (who has experience in this arena) doesnt support his approach to the situation.

If you have been watching the news, you know by now that the Lockheed-Martin employee was beheaded. You have no idea how much this pisses me off.

We have the resources to go in there and just kick ass, yet Bush is too much of a pansy to do so. If anyone knows of something we can feed “Mr. President” to make him grow balls, feel free to send me the recipe!
Needless to say, i’m so sick of him being in office I cannot wait till the next election where I WILL exercise my right to get his ass out of office.

Ok, enough ranting over this. I hope the family of this poor man realizes how much of America is pulling for them right now.

[end rant]

Rest in Peace Paul M. Johnson Jr. May your GOD smite the takers of your life.

This past wednesday, my Dad went to a wholesalers auction and picked up a slot machine. Yep 100% vegas style. We hook it up and start plunking the supplied tokens into it.. so he gets bored and me, fan of ALL games, continues to play it. A few more pulls later I hit the big ole’ 777. The machine starts going crazy making noises and I get the good ole adrenaline boost. So the machine goes into bonus mode.. I keep hittin and hittin and hittin. All of a sudden the machine starts playing a different noise and it appears that I broke the bank! Yep I emptied out the coin hopper. So i’m sitting here thinkin ok.. just put the key in and open it and reset it. The key didnt work. Picture this, the machine is going crazy and super loud and i’m here trying to pop open this slot machine. I would have definately been arrested in any public place going apeshit on this machine cause I couldnt open it to put more tokens in it to finish paying me my jackpot. Finally I give up and unplug it. Plug it back in and the damn machine has a memory. Weee! I start inspecting the machine closer and see there is already a hole cut open in the back conviently above the hopper. Woohoo! So I drop a few handfulls of tokens in the hopper and wait for it to spit em back out. Nope it refuses to. I break down and read the manual and it tauntingly tells me I have to hit a reset button. Of course I cannot open the machine. Getting a little upset at this point, I start flailing my hands inside the machine looking for some way to open the front or feel around for a reset button… 6 hours later.. I found the button. You laugh but the payout of jackpot made the whole thing worth it.
