i'm not saying all this is and was done but non citizens. what i'm saying is we now have in our country people that destroy and damage anything and every thing they can get away with. this is changing the U.S. into a third world nation. look at our cities. the more people work to make things nicer you have those that at the first chance will tear down what has been done for the public and sneer and cheer about how clever their destructive actions was. this starts with stealing street signs, breaking glass out of windows, spray painting building, transportion vehicles, bridges and even some folks homes and vehicles. how the hell is such fun. to me it petty and low as a snake in a wagon rut. this leads to attacking people on the street just for these creeps to get some kind of twisted thrill.

it's time america to say hell no-- to these sickos and report them and their nasty actions to the proper officials so just maybe things will change. nothing will change as long as you stand around and wittness or listen to some slime ball brag about these kinds of actions and you laught with them and you act like these brain dead that can't create so they try to destroy what other folks build are some how cool. that my friend makes you just as twisted as those you don't stop or report. maybe it's because your chicken shit ... if that's the case god help us all. if your not ready to fight for your rights then others will all ways take them from you. there is no reason we have to put up with and see the fith and eye sores our cities are becoming. now with cell phones taking pitcures you can be a super hero without danger. take that pitcure and see it reaches the proper offical and just maybe your children won't have to live and go to school in dung heaps due to these folks. personally i would like these jerks just hauled out into the street and have the living shit kicked out of them. that's just me. whats being done to our country is sickening and must be stopped no matter what it takes. oh but these assholes have rights shout the pc correct ..-- uck you and their rights plus the horses you both rode in on buckwheat......that's what this low class of folks have and are doing to the rest of us right now...where's our rights......surprise we do have some rights to. who knew ? not these vandals for sure. but i'm sure even if they thought about other peoples rights they could care less. rights mean nothing to these folks unless it's their own.]]> Fri, 18 May 2012 23:32:15 +0000 http://www.xbsgaming.com/forums/index.php?/topic/807-trooper-rant-for-may/ http://www.xbsgaming.com/forums/index.php?/topic/806-posting-slow/ Wed, 16 May 2012 05:53:55 +0000 http://www.xbsgaming.com/forums/index.php?/topic/806-posting-slow/ http://www.xbsgaming.com/forums/index.php?/topic/804-may-birthday-greeting/

i am so sick and tired of being sick and tired of being instructed as to what is ok not only to think but what i can say. this is america jack and according to the rights granted to we the citizens of this great nation anyone or group of people that tries to curb your freedoms is not your friend or friends. govement public service announcements bombard us endlessly from every possible group or groups that feel they are more important than any other group and tell you just how bad a person you are if you don't feel the same way they do. these people tell us what we should eat, drink, go, do, say, beleive and just what a peice of crap you are as a human being if you don't do everything they instruct you to do and beleive. for god sake don't ask questions that makes you a truely bad person that should be shunded and belittled.

faith is another thing in america that burns my gravy. you can be any religion from anywhere in the world and worship any thing you wish from snakes, cows, holymen or the moon goddest or ra the sun god but if your a christian you are told to shut up and don't insult any of these others by worshiping god your and our founding fathers ways. these same folks resent christmas for christ sake. i know i'm a sorry something for saying any of this out loud or implying that all these others don't have the right to denie us the same rights that they demand for themselves.

as for the common working man in american- he is an indangered species. our govement along with most major american companies export american jobs to any where but here in america. the number of jobless american workers is staggering. this very important subject is only used by thoses in power to point out how bad the county is going but never admit the fact they are the reason why the county is going to hell. no one from the all high holy president will take responabilty for anything any more. it's someone elses fault. lord almighty these brain dead folks have had total control of the govement for 4 long years and have only make things worse and now they want 4 more years to totaly destroy and finish what socalistic policys they started. only in american of today the working- god fearing- tax paying- give a shi- about america citizen has less rights than those that suck the blood of freedom from the very neck of the country they despise and totally laugh at the laws they ignore of our great nation and those in power that swore to up hold these laws even if the pretend to not like them. that my friend is folks that is not friends of our country.

today everyone is afraid to speak their minds and speak the truth because they may be labeled racest, stupid or any dozen names that are there to prevent anyone to say wait a minute thats not right. some in our great nation has tried to do so and were singled out for veral abuse not only by those that are afraid of the truth but our govement that is surpose to be for the people and by the people. now those we elect say what ever they think will get them elected and then do right backward from what they promised and implement their own agendas no matter what the american citizen wants. this has to stop. elected officals work for we the people and it's time they remembered who the boss is.

i don't have time to clairfy or go into every injustice i preceive happening to we the people today in america. that is the reason i'm thinking of maybe a web site so i can maybe reach a few folks that have had their mind numbed by pc correctness. america is made up of americans. at least thats the way it has always be until those in power want the votes of border jumpers and fring groups that want to be treated special and be protected from the truth by demanding your rights of free speach be limited while they own deeds be presented as the right and only way. does this make me a bad person? i think not- only a concerned citizen of the best country in the world that has every right to speak his mind. i dislike no one or groups made up of anyone that speaks their minds unless they try to not extend me the same respect and rights. as for worshiping- my feeling are if it help you be a better person then bow down and kiss that holy frog i could care less what your relegion is as long as it don't teach you to kill me or mine as part of that worship. what could be fairer than that. that my fellow citizens is how america works. do what you like unless it hurts some of your fellow citizens. worship what you wish but be american first before sometrhing else. if you love another land or country more than america then what the hell are you doing here. if i loved another place better than here i would be there wouldn't or shouldn't i ?

what do you think-- web site or not ??????????????]]> Sat, 28 Apr 2012 05:56:47 +0000 http://www.xbsgaming.com/forums/index.php?/topic/803-does-trooper-really-need-his-own-personal-web-site/ http://www.xbsgaming.com/forums/index.php?/topic/802-xbs-is-back/

in both Wow and SWTOR i get so involved with what i call the perfit avatar. i know its there and i look by playing all possible combos. it's like a kid in a candy store with a pocket full of money that just can't make up his mind what to get so he buys some of it all. i do so injoy these wonderful choices. its like dozens of games in one game. i'm easily bored but just a small change say an alien avatar instead of a human avatar playing the same type to me is different. maybe its just the looks of the avatar or maybe its i'm crasy as hell but this works for me. i loved Wow and now i'm starting to love SWTOR. i get too caught up in the glitch aspects of the game even though i don't know squat about how hard someone worked and how long it took these people sweating over this game to give me the possiblely to spend endless wasted hours setting in front of my monitor injoying what to some looks like a total useless pass time. have you ever caught yourself thinking there must be the perfit game out there somewhere and i'm going to find it. you know thats not likely but its a goal, a dream -a misfire of the brain cells that causes you to wish for the impossible. it's not that simple and very hard to put into words i can spell and express something that i can't totally understand myself.

now for my ranting on games. i know sometimes i talk like the game itself is alive and doing all it can to stop my progress and hinder me with glitches, crashes and even down right cheats. am i totally nuts. no- hell no. it's like your car or your motorcycle- haven't you ever talked to objects you know don't have any ability to be swayed but you do it anyway figuring it won't hurt. you know like come on baby crank and get me home. maybe i am crasy because i've had several vehicles that i feel never let me down because i always addressed these machines with respect. that even sounds insane to me so putting it down here was very hard and if you say you have never did this then you are lying or crasier than me. i tend to give things that vex me pretend ids so i can tell them what i think of them. do these things care or hear me ?? of course not grasshopper. how serious nuts would you be to really beleive that. to me however it all part of my gaming or really most things that drive me to distraction. it doesn't take much to put me in this state of mind because it help me complete anything i'm doing no matter how hard or boring. when i say a game cheats -- what i'm really saying is pick up your skirt nancy and bare down. are you going to let a fricking program beat you. this may be again over the top for some but beleive it or not this releives me of all guilt of losing because hey the damn game cheated. i know its silly as hell and again very hard to write whats really going on in this totally old gray brain matter.

i am a serious gamer. very serious. i work damn hard at it for sometimes 8 to 10 hours a day. to me its not a game but a part of my life that brings me fun and adventure right into my den. since i can't really do these amasing things and to me they are amasing-- the next best thing is gaming. would i really in real life go into a cave with 30 foot monsters waiting to tear me apart? are you out of your fricken mind. no but hell no. with gaming however i can. this is the stuff dreams are made of. this is light years ahead of checkers etc i was raised on. this computer has opened a gateway to endless fun and knowdge that makes my life worth living. i never want anyone to think that somehow or someway i don't like this futuristic toy that makes me smile, laught, cuss and look forward to tomorrow for whats next. my gaming and computer mentor and son in law darkie opened pandora's box for me and spread the curtains to a whole new world and outlook toward the future. ( god bless him ) come on now i was talking gaming not family. family is always first and formost. it's just now all my kids are grown and the grandkids are getting older- gosh one is even dating and working an afternoon part time job and he drives a really loud truck. if you get a glimmer that trooper don't think family is first then your on LSD pilgrim. thats all the excuses and words of sorry you will get from me. i'm not ashamed to say i'm a gamer. am i as good as some i know like darkie, mono, max- the list in longer than i care to think of. no i am not and will never be. these guys were raised on console and computer gaming and to me they are the high of the high. just to know gamers of this quility is an honor only another gamer can truely understand. do i game like anyone else in the world. i dough it very much. my gaming is flawed and so am i. do i get max injoyment from gaming-- oh yea grasshopper and i mean it when i say-- may the force be with you......]]> Tue, 13 Mar 2012 17:28:23 +0000 http://www.xbsgaming.com/forums/index.php?/topic/800-inside-the-gaming-mind-of-trooper/ http://www.xbsgaming.com/forums/index.php?/topic/799-swtor-shortcoming/
these problems, glitches or ball busters are just not right. they will not be in any sort of order but transfered from the paper i jotted them down on while playing. to interupt my gaming to write this down - you know i was more than a bit pissed. these happed to me many time not just once or they won't be on the list. there are more but i cut lucas inc a break and gave them on those a pass because compared to the ones listed they didn't matter that much.

first i want to talk about upping quests goals until your level even with a helper can't do them. i understand this is to force grouping which is from what i can tell is important to the game and leveling points. the only and i mean major problem with this is what if no-one wants to form a fricking group. i have set at quests sites trying to form a group time after time and have to leave the site without my reward or completing the quest because no one wants to form a group or they already have one with their friends they are playing with plus the game limits groups to 4 including your helpers. --( ba-zang-ga.)--love that show. after a while this effects your leveling and bank account so in the future you are weaker than your quest foes. this is not where you want to be...

another thing that causes me the screaming mimi's is your helper always gets in the way when you are trying to click on something. sometimes this drives me crasy. just as i click it will step in the way and i have to move it to do what i want to do. this doesn't seem like much maybe but after a while it grates on your nerves and i would slap the manure out of my helper if there was a button to press to do that . this is like an unscrached itch- it only gets worse with time.

some places is the game if you are trying to avoide contact with foes and try to go around- you will find what i lovingly call traps. lets say theres a wall with a tree next to it. it looks like you have plenty room to go between them but lo and behold you get stuck with no way to go forwaqrd or back. these spots are uncalled for period. the producers knew there was these places and tell you to type /stuck to get free. let me set the stage. you spend 20 minutes or more fighting your way into a fortress or other quest area and bam-- your stuck. going out of game and coming back in is useless. you'll still be hanging in the same place - still stuck. now you do what the game tells you and you type in / stuck. it kills you and sends you- you would think- to the nearest med-station. that would really be too far but no it will send you to god knows where. sometime all the way back into the city- miles from where you were and now you have to fight all the way back to where ever you were. this my gamer friend is a cold slap in the face and totally uncalled for. the one that programmed this needs a swift hard kick in the ass or worse. i can't think of no reason for this other than pure hatefulness.

reloading and how can i say it rehealting. you darn near have to do this after each fight and it takes too damn long. if it was a once in a while thing ok but its not. it's an every few minutes thing and after a while its seems to take forever and brings your forward speed to a blazing halt. that brings me to respawing. you will get killed patawan. that is a given and if the foes can't do it the game itself can. i can't tell you how many times in a fight i have the foe down to just a smigen of life and no matter what attack from myself or helper- we can't polish it off. the game just won't let it die. this happens much more than it should. it's like the programers decided at some point you must die no matter what. no i'm not crasy-( my mother had me tested )- love that show. then there is the respawn times. not time but times. the first is not that bad. lets say 30 seconds. then the 2nd takes near 2 minutes. the third near 10 minutes. i don't know after that i'm sorry to say i have- no matter how hard or long it took me to get there- just gave up and transported to the aid-station. these respawn times are cruel and unusual punshment. these happen when you are in a very tought place and are near the end of the quest so you sit there like a fool watching the clock tick off the time at the slowest rate possible stopping all forward progress and boreing you to the bone. you do this because you don't want to refight your way again through the countless foes to get back to where you are. it's not unusual to kill 40 to 50 bad guys in a quest. each layer getting stronger and stronger until you eather give up or set there till you doze off waiting to respawn.

some of the minor gliches are the map which you have to use to find the quest just doesn't work right in some areas. you hit your map key and it just won't come up or it will and go back off. since the map is a major tool for you this isn't good. sure sooner or later in a few minutes it starting working right again like nothing was ever wrong. this however is still unnessary.

i don't know about the server you play on but the two that i do crash a lot. if the game can't stop you any other way it will crash. when you come back in your dead grasshopper. now if you die again then the low respawn waiting starts. it all ready takes a long time to get into SWTOR - even longer than bf-2 if thats possible. i thought at first it was my internet provider --cable one --but it wasn't --it was the game servers. all these things should be addressed asap so we gamers get the the best gaming fun possible considering we are paying real bucks to play. yes i like the game but these above problems do distract from my injoyment of the game.

the last but the maybe the most bugging is your killing loot. if you are a light armor and your companion is a heavy armor you can bet the game will give you as loot medium armor. this happens too much to not be programed that way. you mostly get crap loot as it is. when you get the green or yellow beam you know you might get sometime usefull. its so disappointing to get something you can't use time and again. the same goes for buying items like your weapon. you just can't get a great weapon- it will always just be a few point over what you already have. if by chance you buy the best one on the dealers list. that it buckwheat- even though it's not that much better --thats the one you will play with probley for as long as your on that world. same for armor. as for upgrading weapons and armor i have a real problem with that. i guess i'm just stupid because sometime it works but mostly it doesn't. i've read and reread the mod instructions and i guess i just don't get it....wouldn't be the first time.. i just muddle through with what i have and sooner or later i finish even if it's harder on me than you smarter gamers. heck i have problems figuring out what spells to use or weapons skills that are the best and lets not even talk stims. as i say i just bunder through maybe learning a little here and there until i stumble to the finish line. welcome to my world grasshopper........

may the force be with you pilgrim...]]> Sun, 11 Mar 2012 20:44:14 +0000 http://www.xbsgaming.com/forums/index.php?/topic/799-swtor-shortcoming/ http://www.xbsgaming.com/forums/index.php?/topic/798-wow-has-it-been-that-long/
i digress however- as for my quiting- i won't tell you i never think about puffing a cig but its a very fleeting urge that is usual triggered by some old habit that i enjoyed while smoking. i almost laught when this happens because smoking is the last thing i will ever do again period. i am daily amased by smells that that i may have never notice before. some of cource i could have done without smelling but you take the good with the bad or go crasy. food does taste better and now there are foods i never liked the taste of that i now lilke and there are foods that i loved that i now can't stand. all in all the quiting was one of the best things i ever did. with everything going on in the world however not having to deal minute by minute with that monkey that use to cling to my back- is wonderfull. not to even spend a moment thinking of that demon and going places i never went before due to not being able to smoke there.

i wish to thank all of you for your surport durning the first few months of quitting. even though i'm sure some of you thought i wouldn't make it but at least no one said it to my face. if you are considering quitting - maybe reading some of my quit smoking posts here in the xbs forums could maybe help because as my brother in law said "if that S O B can quit i know i can" .. ding dong the monkey is dead.....may the force be with you......]]> Thu, 01 Mar 2012 20:17:41 +0000 http://www.xbsgaming.com/forums/index.php?/topic/798-wow-has-it-been-that-long/ http://www.xbsgaming.com/forums/index.php?/topic/797-for-march-2012/
