I Am Such A Nerd: SOCOM II

Oh man. Last night we hooked up the PSII to the internet and played SOCOM II with 22,000 other nerds/stoners all over the world. You can talk via the headset, and create "clans" which are more like gangs. I was alarmed at how many blatant stoners are on this thing. People taking chongers into their mics and coughing for everyone. Pretty funny, really.

Last night I was inducted into a clan by a guy calling himself ArchAngelUSA03 who was from Watts or some shit. It was a pretty funny conversation, whitebread from Idaho in a gang with brotha from Watts. Needless to say, we wrecked shop like Crocket and Tubbs.

If any of you are nerds, too (I'm looking at phUnk), find me online. My handle is "Capt. Beanbag".

Now back to skiing.

I have an older cousin whose claims to fame are:

1) Owning every single video game console ever made -- and they all work. I think I even saw Coleco Vision in his old apt.

2) He's beat every single game he owns, and he owns a shitload.

He also works for a game production company in Seattle, so video games are literally his life. Nerd? You bet!

I can barely keep my computer running properly. Definitely not a nerd. :)

Though I do like to talk about things like Chaos theory now and then....

Yes, but does he also have the four button hand-grip action controller. I have two, and there's nothing finer in this world than using these to toss grenades in Frontline or beat up Clubber in Rocky III. Best controllers evar!

That said, Socom was an awesome game. That is until all the little kiddies started using gamesharks to cheat. They've fixed it for the time being in Socom II, so enjoy it while it lasts. Because playing someone who has unlimited ammo and is using auto-aiming is not fun. Minus the cheating, it's the best damn game out there. Period. And yes, talking to all the stoners is classic. One of my alchamaholic friends plays all the time and he goes by lushlife.

Really, I don't think anyone who spends a significant portion of their day posting to an INTERNET MESSAGE BOARD (even if it is ski related) can claim to be anything other than a nerd.

And I was good.

Buy SOCOM II, you pansy! What are you afraid of? Some dude from Watts killing you repeadetly while he threatens your mother over the headset? It's not that bad.

Did anyone else ever have a TI-99 computer? Pretty fun game machine for the time. It's graphics were pretty similar to Colecovision. I remember spending many hours playing Donkey Kong, Dig Dug and Parsec.

I've played Unreal Tournament online before and got my ass kicked every time. It's not much fun getting virtually bitch slapped by a nerd. At least I didn't have here them taunt me.

I'm sure there's a lot of closet gamers here.
I love the new one Max Payne II and GTA-Vice City.
Used to be addicted to Team Fortress from Half Life.
Might have to check out SOCOM. What is it, team war scenario like CounterStrike?

Never heard of chess on TV, that's gotta be entertaining. Then again, I watched the World Poker Tournament while flying Jet Blue.

No, but around 1980 I built a Heath-Zenith H-89 computer from a kit. It used the Zylog-80 processor.

I used to play half-life and quake 3 over the LAN and internet back in SLC. All the IT guys would recruit whoever they could and then come install the software. We were kind-of our own clan and would all just show up in a room and destroy everyone. I have to say online half-lfe kicks serious ass. The maps ruled. I loved sitting back and sniping people like crazy or taking them out with the lazer guided rocket launcher. Even better was waiting for them behind a corner and taking them out with a crowbar. Great for shit-talking as well.

phUnk

I gave up on it b/c their QA blows goats, but the Urban Terror mod for Quake 3 kicks ass.

They tend to break shit every new release, but the gameplay and visuals rock.

When I was playing, I played as, you're not going to believe this, "phUnk".

I also rocked the hizzouse in Q2. Got 1 poor co-worker bastard so hooked that he almost got fired b/c we'd play net games during lunch. 4pm would roll around and he'd still be playing. :eek:

I remember those kits.

Another classic old computer was the Timex-Sinclair, originally just the Sinclair, I think. That started out as a kit, too. I remember it had 1K of RAM.

Is that where Kasparov fucked up with his rook, opening the path for the computer's pawn to turn into a queen? What a JONG! IHe pulled the same shit with Deep Blue a couple years ago.

Friggin Grandmaster JONGs. I bet I can kick his ass given the right conditions :D

Oh yeah nerd here. Rocking quake 3 and half life blue shift on my comp.

Diablo II was my love though running around killing all sorts of shit hmm. I still miss my level 34 barbarian. Never should have deleted that game.

I wish I could hook up a PS2 so I could talk shit that would be the best.

I would just fear that I would lose all contact with people.

Paging Mr. Spats, paging Mr. Spats...

If you guys are into video games you should talk to the master, he who creates them. Believe it or not, our own Spats designs and codes these things. He is a virtual plethora of video game knowledge.

I'm currently looking into a PS2 for the boy for Christmas. Heh, yeah, it's for the boy.

My brother-in-law is the uber-dork of online gaming. He has a Quake II clan called The Spankies and he is 'Lord Spanky'. His PC has every bell and whistle you ever saw including a glazed panel etched with a Spanky logo and a UV light inside that makes all the guts glow bright yellow.

He holds LAN parties at his house and dorks from the length and breadth of the country descend to wire their computers together, play Quake, leech porn off each other and compare the size of their 3D cards. It's the computer equivalent of a 1981 Castro bath house. I should imagine.

A game called SOCOM? Is it about a group of high-ranking washed-ups drinking foofy coffee and attending retirement parties in Florida? Doesn't sound like much of a game...

Update from my brother in law's LAN party this weekend. A virus went round and killed everybody's hard discs. I'm glad I left my PC at home - Mrs Roo would have murdered me if I'fd lost all the contact details for her master's thesis.

Sweet! Got the PS2 for the boy, and an early SOCOM II Christmas present.

Now I've just go to figure out how the game works, and I'll see you punks on-line. So far I've gotten killed two times on the first single player mission. I think I need that head phone thingamagiggy.

Odin,

Be very careful, the damn game is addicting as hell. I was up till 6 am Friday and Saturday nights.

Add me to your friends list when you figure out your name. I'm BobMc there as well. Maybe we need to start a TGR clan?
