I hope your kidding. Its not like the ladders take time, your lucky to get a match once a week.

Tough 14, I tend to act... a little childish sometimes...
But that is only when I have seen Star Wars movies! Swoosh swoosh, x-wing!:D :p

THere was a dude in jk1 called BSB_mercyman who had a freaking clan made of mafia i swear.
1. they were italian.
They were pretty good in their own respects in both jk1 and jk2. Almost the entire clan was family members, no joke. Mercyman was 56 and still gaming as the GOD FATHER, his brother fragmentor was 54 and his right hand man. Then he had 3 sons (age 18 to 24) who all played jk2 and jk1 I can’t remember their names. Then he had like 3 cousins/neighbors who played for their clan. It was pretty damn insane. I thought it was pretty crazy back then that a father and a son would be a 2v2 guns team. Their 5v5 ctf team for jk2 was all family members. No joke.

BSB had a bunch of people that they didn't consider as valuable who weren't familiy members. The sons rukh, zekk, and some other dude i can't remmeber managed them.
BSB(Bad Sith Bastards) were not really italian or mostly family members (of course a lot were).
I was accepted in to it once (rejected though) and I know a few retards that got into it too that were american :p They were pretty damn good at jk1 but dunno about jk2 :p
One more old timer chiming in. I'm 33. I think us gaming elders have an interesting perspective of video games since we've been playing, or at least been around since the very beginning of them. We've come a long ways since Pong, Intellivision, Atari 2600, Colecovision. Remember when Commodore 64 was the bomb? 64k!!!! Yahoo!!! Had to start somewhere though.

Would you believe I actually played the original Pong the other day? My friend has the game that has the two control paddles. He bought it for a couple hundred bucks in 1980. He also had an old TV (rabbit ears) which was necessary because Pong does not have the means to connect to a new TV.
As simple as it is, we actually played for quite a bit. It is pretty fun and challenging on the higher levels (which are a lot faster).

Man, I haven't heard "control paddle" in a loooooong time. Remember the Atari joystick?

That'c cool Crow, but dont forget about us oldies, alot of us fought hard and died in The Great Galaxian Wars of 81, The Frogger War of 83, and the Leisure Suit Larry Massacre of 88....
without the sacrifice of these brave men and women, you would not be enjoying the gaming liberty you so take for granted today !! :p

<end old fogey voice> Indeed. I always get a laugh when I see people complain that graphics from today'g games are too poor or unreaslistic. If they only new... :)

Those were all noble causes, and let us also not forget those who laid down their control paddles to take up joysticks against rising alien forces in the Galaga Conflict of '82. Oh, the war stories are too numerous to recount......

Well, I guess it's all relative, ya know? Although, words cannot describe the utter disappointment I felt when I first played Pac Man for the 2600 thinking it was going to look like the arcade version. That's when I first learned to be very skeptical of hype.
I don't mean to be sexist, but women didn't actually fight in ww1/2. OCCASIONALLY they spied, and mostly flew support planes, taught men how to fly ect. But they did not serve on the front lines despite what medal of honor tells you.
But they did sometimes die during german attacks on airports and stuff. I salute them for that. I'm not trying to disrespect them or anything, just trying to state the truth.

well, without this turning into an oprah special, yes I guess thats correct to a certain extent, how about we just say "the men and women who made great sacrifices"....... and I wasnt even referring to the World Wars dammit, I was being light hearted and nostalgic about the games we played in the 80s..... now its turned into a appraisal of historical accuracy.....I blame this on CROW ! That feathery fiend will do anything to bump up his post stats !! :p

Next time some punk gives you a hard time about your age, remind him of a few things...
1. He can thank our generation for Video Games to begin with. If we hadn't gotten hooked on Pac-Man, Pong and Donkey Kong there would be no JK counter-strike.
2. Might also remind them that we are alive to see them in the theater during their orginal releases, so its no surprise that people our age like this game.
3. Its mostly (not all) guys our age that write the code for these games.
4. Servers need financed some how. Is their McDonalds job gonna pay the bill? Most likely not.
Just a few good points to bring up. I been gamming since Coleco Vision as Im sure most of you have been and I will continue to game unltil my hands are riddled with arthritis or I'm blind. (about 50 more years)
As Rodeny Dangerfield would say "I get no respect"
