      I don't lol. It was just a strange mix of people joining only because of him and serious raiding guilds wanting to help him out therefore carrying the whole guild. JD met female fans who were part of the guild and made his own decisions. But it's odd how even on a game people can get fame/power hungry and LIE about so much shit. He was maybe a part of it for a year and a half or 2 and then we lied about him being there for 3 years after the fact. His kid still played though and our long running officer was a cousin of his.

    That idea to play with his kids even when he is away, is just great.
    I used to play a lot of games with my dad, and since he speaks no English, it's hilarious. He is great at RTS games until he has to do something other than troops and war.
    Now I live somewhere else. Online games seem like a good way to spend time even from afar. It's a good idea indeed.

      xbox is in America and is owned by microsoft, neither company has as 'cuddly' a reputation as playstation so they give free stuff to cool people hoping to diversify their brand and change their brand reception.

      It's because you have to be a man with a big dick to play Xbox. No baby hands allowed.

    Video games are an escape because you get live in a different world, and some games allow you to create your own, or at least have influence in one. I view them the same way I view music, if it’s not a guitar, or drum sticks in my hands, it’s most definitely a gaming controller.
    Another reason to love KoRn!
