Direwulf is awesome! Just plain radical even… I say that because we played some games. Did you know our gamerscore is 9,525? He made some progress on Call of Duty: WaW, and it’s a good thing he stopped there, otherwise the concentrated awesomeness could have blown out my circuits.

Direwulf is making me proud and his opponents jealous… even if they are bots or mindless AI sometimes! Check out the 9,525 gamer score! He rallied Call of Duty: WaW, and oh… don’t tell Direwulf this, but I have been getting in a little video chat in the off-hours. Booyah!

Ok, here it is… your weekly recap of gaming: I told Direwulf that 4 days of playing would be ideal… so last week there was some extra effort to get us there. Good job! Our gamerscore didn’t go up at all, but who is counting? Oh, and from what I remember, Direwulf’s favorite game last week was Call of Duty: WaW. He played it on 4 of the days.

And that’s it… short and sweet, just like my power cord.
I told Direwulf ‘Hey man, it is time to play games’ and YAY! he listened! Gamer score is 9,525. He opened up Call of Duty: WaW, and oh… remember to check out my avatar. Isn’t he looking awesome lately?
