There was a dude in my fraternity in college who we all liked, and one semester he just kinda disappeared except for a few of the bigger events we had 2-3 times. Never saw the guy anymore but towards the end of the year he told all Of us he was really focusing on school and his grades. All good. 
nope - turns out he was addicted to playing world of Warcraft and that’s all he was doing. He flunked out the next semester and I never saw him again. He could be dead now for all I know. Gaming addiction is legit.

Yeah, WoW was a problem for a lot of people I knew. Never really heard of people being addicted to Halo though.

We thought the guy was just getting serious about school. Which was fine. He wasn’t a jerk or anything. He flunked out Spring semester and was never seen again after having to move back home to whatever shithole small country NC town he was from. 
 

I like video games and enjoy playing, hopefully I will have a new system soon but I never got into WoW but know it’s one of the games that grabs people like heroin. I don’t know if it’s still around. 
 which I guess it’s easy to see why a kid in college in the early to mid 2000s could become addicted to it - endless amount of free time, no real responsibilities, and super fast free dorm room internet.

That halo 1 multiplayer on the original Xbox was legit. I recall going to friends houses in college and having one of those LAN games with two teams set up in different rooms. A lot has changed since those early days but no doubt that Halo 1 multiplayer (the solo campaigns too) is one of the most influential games of all time.

That just shows Baker doesn’t care about winning. 
 

We have a lot of guys like that on the team. He should fit right in.

These leaks from the Browns are def a smear campaign on his way out the door. He must have really pissed off some people In that organization.

Yeah, I remember seeing guys fish network cables down to other dorm rooms for this.

The campaign co-op was great. Spent too much time doing that with roommates back in 2003.

I don’t even know what number Halo is out but for the resident gamers is the new halo that great of a game? 
 

Halo 1; COD Mw2; and Goldeneye 007 are the three GOAT multiplayer games 


I got it around Christmas. Brought back a lot of memories for sure.

The campaign was very well done IMO.

Multi took time to get used to since I hadn’t played much halo since college, but it’s as good as I remember halo 2 being.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      The teams this 2nd year player (can’t really blame the years before he was drafted on him) was playing were going 100% as most do most weeks in the NFL. The whole argument is about his play during that period and how well was he actually playing. I’m with you on the winning though. Just start winning and fans will get excited. Start getting in the playoffs and winning and we won’t care how his PFF or box score stats look. 200 yards a game to 400 yards a game, start scoring and winning playoffs games and 99% of fans will buy in.

      Yeah, we are gonna be raw.  Wonnum, for the past 3 years, has been averaging 8 sacks a season (4 in one season when he missed half a season).  I am OK, but yes, they will be thrown to the fire.

      I like this because it means one or both of the rookies will be thrust into a bigger role right away and we can see what they might be. I don't like this because it just makes our team that much younger and inexperienced.  You need vets to help the young guys learn, I just hope we aren't going too far in the opposite direction.  All our FA signings were guys just coming off their rookie deals too, I get why we're doing it, but having the savvy vets help in other ways too.
