Snowing...

It's snowing like hell here in NEPA. Kids didn't have a delay (miracles never cease), but I'm not venturing forth into my 55 mile one-way commute to work till I know the roads are CLEAR the whole way.

Last time I did that, I ended up off the highway, in a ditch, and had to pay $125 just to get the truck put back on the road. Used up almost everything I earned at work getting home... so it just isn't worth it. If there is still snow on the road by 9AM, then Titus has another day to spend killing commies across the virtual globe.

I think I've found a new hide spot for my sniper profile... Nolan says I need to play that more if I want to unlock cool perks and upgrades.

Oh, and a big thanks to Ryan for suggesting that we look into the previous addition of Call of Duty, called Modern Warfare. Its been out awhile, so it is FAR cheaper than the edition was... with all the detail and options the same. We can find it online at multiple sources for less than $25 dollars... less than half what we paid for Black Ops. Very good advice...

I'm also looking for good titles of other X-Box games that might make "Mommy" look a little kinder at the platform... she's NOT a fan of the rough language that the games we have now employ for realism. Suggestions?

I am a PC gamer and have been for years so I'm sad to say but I can't speak for the X-Box or PS3. I'm glad to see you're having a great time.

Look for some sports games. No cursing, good clean fun. The Madden series for football, the 2k series for basketball. The Madden series is FANTASTIC. The new one, Madden 11, will run you full retail, around $50. But Madden 10 will be half that, and Madden 05 is like $10. The year determines the player roster & rankings. And if you get Madden 10 or 11 we can verse each other online.
