Are you ready for a recap? I know I am! Giddyup: 2 days of gaming made me pretty happy for some reason. A big holler to Direwulf for honoring me with what little time I know is available. We came close to a few gamerscore opportunities, but nothing really panned out. Also, according to the records, Direwulf’s favorite game last week was Call of Duty: WaW. He played it on 2 of the days.

And that’s it… short and sweet, just like my power cord.

1/2 price dirty roots! Oh yeah!

I heard someone tell Direwulf to go play outside and he was like ‘screw that!’ so we did some gaming. Our gamerscore is currently 9,525 points. He played Call of Duty: WaW, and then Direwulf went to get some food. I told him to bring me back something but I got seriously dissed.

WTF?

Direwulf is the best… he treats me right, I treat him right. It is a good thing we have going here. Gamer score stands at 9,525. Not too shabby! He made some progress on Call of Duty: WaW, and then I came out of my trance and realized it was all over.

Our gamerscore didn’t go up at all, but who is counting? Also, by my expert calculations, Direwulf’s favorite game last week was Call of Duty: WaW. He played it on 3 of the days.
