A Geek Among Men...

I know I'm getting to this party late. It's the story of my life. We'll set that one aside for another blog. Right now I want to talk about the current flavor of the day.
Battlefield 2.
It's everything a guy wants in a good action movie. Planes, guns, bad guys, high powered explosives, good times. The best part is that you get to play the hero.
That's right. A video game.
My brother in law and his buddies have been on this kick for like years. Me, never one to rush out and drop $60 on a game, never joined ranks. Still, whenever BIL and I hung out, we'd spool up his 'puter and grab a few man juices (beer to the uninitiated) and veg out while our kids tore up the house.
Good times.
I finally broke down and picked up the game on sale at Wal-Mart and now I'm like a total BF2 Crack head. I've even created a new Avatar just for my BF2 buddies...

I'm not all that good at it mind you.
I get blown up a lot.
Run over by tanks.
Hit by enough artillery to sink the Bismark.
Still, good times.
Even went Uber Geek and joined an online gaming clan.
GASP!!
Yeah. How you like them apples? Now I have something to do since baseball season is almost over.
Look, Battlestar Galactica won't be on for a few more months so I've got some time to kill. At least I've made some new friends.
I'm excited, aren't you?
You are. I can tell.
I have a sense about these things.
If you happen to play BF2 and want to earn a few easy frags, I'm usually playing Friday and Saturday nights. Look for ThePocketgeek. I'll be the one getting shot or blown up or run over...
