Any gamers out there?

Anybody play Battlefield Bad Company on the XBox 360? I was playing for a while, and then started to play Far Cry 2.

Since going to console games, I pretty much gave up on the PC games. (No upgrading every freaking six months). I did play BF2 for the logest time.

I deliver to a Gamestop and I can always tell when there is a new game being released or a new system as there is always a line of people waiting outside. My store doesn't open til 10 and we have to have them delivered by noon so I usually get there around 9:45 and they are always nice about opening the door for me. The gamers don't like that I get to go in early but then again I think they need to get a life.

But they don't know that the game that they are waiting in line for, you delivered it yesterday

As oart of their warranty program they send out the empty boxes for hte customer to repack the XBOX in to be sent back. No recall was ever made my Microsoft.

Pardon me for misunderstanding this whole process. I was simply stating what someone told me at GameStop. I guess I should have researched the whole thing on the internet. Now I would have done that, except, everytime I get on the internet I decide to look at what's new on BC. After doing this I suddenly realize it's 12 midnight and I need to go to sleep.

Forgive me for entering your realm and attempting to spout gamer knowledge without having all my facts straight. I stand corrected.

No worries, man. You know what you know, while I only have the hearsay. Thanks for clearing it all up for me, you just added to my knowledge.

We have the XBox, XBox360, PS1, PS2, PSP, wii, GameCube, etc. and plan on buying PS3 for my son for Christmas. I personally don't play with any of them. The last console gaming I did was when I had Sega Genesis and a friend and I were addicted to Madden football.

I was huge in PC gaming for several years. It started with Warcraft, than Warcraft II. I played Warcraft III but lost interest before I finished it. I liked the game Rune. I was into a game called Starsiege. I totally geeked out on that one, even joining a game squad. Though it was a blast in the beginning I learned there can be politics to gaming and it kind of left me bitter and I have not been involved in organized gaming since.

My favorite game of all time though is the Diablo series. I have played them all and I will start playing again when Diablo III comes out.

The most fun I ever had gaming though was in high school playing Risk and Axis and Allies with my friends while we drank beer. Nothing like good ole board games and suds!

Today, "board games are bored games"............according to the grandson. I'm out of the loop, so I just get gift cards from Game Stop and he buys what he wants.

I'm a Nascar 2003 Racing Season by Sierra/Papyrus gamer. It was by far the best Nascar simulator on the market. Nascar sold the rights to EA Sports that year so 2003 was the last year for the game. It was so good and realistic that people still play that game and designers have created new tracks, cars, etc. to this day. Heck, the game sells for over $100 on E-bay now. I'd love to race in an online league but I don't know if I could sit in this chair for a whole 500 mile race.
