I always said I wouldn't do it, but the Force is strong with all of you...

[PeteRock]

I have always vowed not to join another forum as I already devote excessive amounts of time to the Octopus Overlords forum (and some may remember me from the GoneGold days), but after having enjoyed yet another fantastic evening of multiplayer gaming with some of the GT clan (papasmurf, JarrodHK, and perhaps a few others I'm forgetting at the moment), and having been lurking for quite some time, I would be remiss to continue to avoid joining GamingTrend due to time constraints when I could be broadening my Xbox 360 Friends list with even more fantastic people to enjoy multiplayer gaming with.

My main reason for joining is the popularity of multiplayer gaming both here and at Octopus Overlords, the obvious camaraderie you all seem to have together, and having already enjoyed meeting new people from GT just through common Friends (such as JarrodHK who also frequents both GT and OO), I figured now is as good a time as any to become a participating memeber here at GT, if only to meet new Friends to chainsaw and curbstomp to death (or, perhaps it would be more accurate to say "to be chainsawed and curbstomped to death").

So for those who are sometimes looking for an additional teammate or enemy fodder, feel free to add PhillyPeteRock to your Friends list.  I currently have Gears of War, Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell: Double Agent, PGR3, Madden 07, and Test Drive: Unlimited in my multiplayer library, as well as classics such as Halo 2 (which I still play with friends from the Philly area), so hopefully I'll be able to become an active member here, both on the forum and in terms of online play.

Always saw you posting some good stuff at OO - glad to see you want to participate and be a part of this community

Welcome to GT!

There is an official 360 gamertage thread in the multiplayer forum... I just gotta update the damned thing.

Welcome to the club Pete!  Don't worry about the cheese smell, it's only The Missing Link

Welcome Pete!  Glad to have you aboard.

Heya Pete. I spend more time here, because the console threads see more activity, but I keep tabs on OO too. When I'm into a PC game, there's usually more discussion over at OO.

Yeah, that's one of the reasons why I came over here as well.  I post enough in the Everything But Gaming forum to make things interesting, but sometimes I just want to chat about console games, and there are some days that the OO console forum is a bit slow.

Glad to see ya posting Pete.  We sure do like us some console talk over here.  Be careful tho, the GTFE can be super strong... just ask those playing Viva Pinata!

Welcome to the forums Pete. Good to see you.

Oh and welcome!

All I have to say Pete is:  WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG!!!

Welcome old buddy!!!! 

[Farscry]

Welcome Pete!

Heck, I'm so bad I frequent Gamers With Jobs, Gaming Trend, AND Octopus Overlords (though not so much the last one, as I don't know much of the community yet).

It's great all the people I've met and gotten on my friends list through these sites!

[PeteRock]

All I have to say Pete is:  WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG!!!

Fear of unemployment.  Forums are way more fun than actual work.  At first I thought that there could be only one.  Now I have learned otherwise.  I just hope that my boss doesn't learn as well.

Oh come on Pete.  Your boss is my former boss.  He's cool.  Tell him I said hi too!

Welcome aboard, I am also a two-timing slut  .

Fine wines & Yuengling guzzling.

Hey!  there's nothing wrong with a fine wine or Yuengling (which I really miss).  However, you did forget seaweed wraps and cucumber facials

Jealously is an ugly thing.  Although I wouldn't personally know, as I am neither jealous nor ugly.   

[CeeKay]

I want to be like Pete! 

[PeteRock]

I want to be like Pete! 

Repeat after me:

I'm good enough.  I'm smart enough.  And gosh darnit, people like me.

After that it's all gravy.

There we go. That's a pretty girl.

I was once like PeteRock, but then I encountered a space-time-warp-vodka induced-anti climatic organism...and I became the anti-PeteRock...JackPebble 

[The Grue]

Welcome, Pete.  I recently stopped browsing OO, but you were one of the ones I missed after I did, so good to see you over here now.

[ATB]

meh.

[Lockdown]

Welcome to the show.

[warning]

Hey Pete!  Good to see ya over here.

Polygamy is a good thing!  Just remember when Ceekay say that to you with that gleam in his eye he's talking about something completely different.

[PeteRock]

meh.

I miss our geologic and evolutionary discussions from the GoneGold days as well.   

[jblank]

Welcome Pete.

[Soulchilde]

Welcome to the show.

Welcome Pete.  Shooting Lockdown and CeeKay  in the back is a rite of passage.      Please don't miss your opportunity 

[PeteRock]

Welcome to the show.

Welcome Pete.  Shooting Lockdown and CeeKay  in the back is a rite of passage.      Please don't miss your opportunity 

Is that why "shoot here" shows up on screen rather than their names anytime they fall within your targeting reticle?  I thought I was at first seeing things due to my hightened awareness and elevated adrenaline from battle, but now that I know others have seen the same thing, perhaps it really isn't a figment of my imagination.  Thanks for the tip.  Boy, you guys sure are swell, offering up free advice like that. 

CeeKay, you up for a game of Gears of War later tonight?     

[Calvin]

Ok lets get this started the right way:

The Eagles are utterly average. I know its painful to hear, but its true.

Your tattoos are wierd.

You buy lots of expensive and wonky entertainment/electronic (oh wait, thats Kobra, not me- ).

Daniel Craig looks like a sissy in every film BUT layer cake-thats not enough to make him a good Bond.

The Eagles aren't that good.

Ok, now that the air is cleared, good to have you  :slywink:

[Zinfan]

Oh no.  Here we go.   

Things we will see and hear:


Simba the Superdog!  Can leap into ponds and cause head injuries!  Simba's kryptonite:  Lowes.

I laughed when I read this, I was wondering if Simba would make your list and then to add Lowes for the finish was just 

[Sparhawk]

meh.

You keep your attitude and your mittens away from my pretty pink princess.

[PeteRock]

meh.

Easy.  CeeKay may become jealous.

[pingwrx]

Welcome Pete

[DonD]

Glad to see you here, Pete.

We need to hook up again.  It's been way too long.

[CeeKay]

CeeKay, you up for a game of Gears of War later tonight?     

I'll probably be on after 9:30pm EST (got to cook dinner and finish downloading the Rainbow Six MP demo).

[USMC Kato]

Heya Pete! Sending you a friend request 

Hope to see you online soon because when playing Gears, I don't like dying alone 

[MrDuck]

Jell-O, Pete, welcome to the board. Sending you a friend request (my gamertag is on my sig) 

[Calvin]

Oh and brevity is the soul of life
