Noob crashing the party...

Hey, who is this noob disturbing our solititude of our tumultuous halftrack scouting and assault routines discussions... :chin:

It is good to see that not much has changed in my absence... I'm just sticking my nose under the tent to say hello to all my Blitz friends. cheers

Work is just a killer as I get set for another rotation to the big sand box... It only seems like yesterday I was flying high and gaming heavy... Living the dream... Big Grin

then bam... long hours and crushing workload... Add to that... a complete and total laptop crash... Just recently recovered from that one... I didn't lose everything, but damn close... Eek

During the time of long hours and no laptop, I did finally get a copy of Matrix CS... and only recently a copy of the v3 upgrade... still haven't read all the comments, but it does seem to have sparked some debate... :censored:

I owe two of my opponents, Ed and Steve, apologies for just disappearing... I am unable get much free time for such pursuits.. and it was poor form on my part not to let you know... :(

My gaming days fighting in the Russian heartland are curtailed and my days of hunting insurgents, Al Qaeda, and IEDs in the wilds of Iraq are fast approaching... the closer that day approaches the more furious the pace becomes... It's not tomorrow, but it is close enough... :kill:

Still, it is good to see that the community appears vibrant and focused on gaming... ah, to dream the dream... I am sneaking some of the early morning quiet time before the madness continues to say hello... :whis:

To Ed and Randy a special thanks for all that you do... To Jason... keep up the pace buddy... you are one of kind and the nature of your contribution to the continuation of CS is ginormous... :bow:

Off topic.. Any comments on the spectacle of the opening ceremony last night in Beijing... I didn't get to see it all, as it had already started by the time I got home from work... but what I did see what just flat out amazing... very well done IMHO... :smoke:

Another off topic... WOW... A Terrabyte of hard drive... A TERRA... and for under $200... tech just wizs along as I run on the spinning wheel of life here at Fort Hood... Yee Haa... Whip

Keep it up guys... Thanks and take care... :soap:

Nice to see your alive and well Jim hopefully that will still be the case on your next TOD.Keep your head down think of beating Randy and all should be ok.On a more serious note yep Jason is doing a fine job and doing all he can for members im sure Matrix has specified what he can and cant do so hes handicapped in a way.Granted a lot of debate about certain changes which the 1.04 patch will fix.Still new members joining so all cant be bad.On a final note take care over there and come back to your family and us.
