Welcome to the forum.  Bears fans are welcome, though the minority here for sure.

If anyone is up for some Team Fortress 2, let me know.  I love that game!

i'm at 928 kills and will get my last TF2 achievement tonight.  Wife is gone so I'll be on before 9pm PST if you want to play.

I'm sorry for the no-show last night.  We apparently have no internet at home!  They're working on it and it's supposed to be back up by tonight.  However, we're supposed to have storms tonight, so we'll probably get Internet back but have our power go out.   It looks like you got the achievement, but if you ever feel like hopping in to play again, please let me know.

So are my fellow Lions fans (Lost/Ethan) pumped for the draft this weekend?  What woes will Mr. Millen present us with this year?  I am thinking he'll go with another WR/QB 1st and snd round.  HA!  Here's to being ready to rant on Sunday.  Cheers to all.

That's okay.  TF2 is actually one game I will still play with people even after I got all the cheevos.  I really had a lot of fun with it.  I posted all five 'Meet the Team' videos from TF2 on my link if you haven't seen them all (plug, plug). 

I've been wanting to reach 70K from my current library without playing any new games.  It's been taking forever with the games I've choosen to play.  I grabbed 130pts in COD3 last night after an 18-month gap in achievements.  Almost there.

JD, you can easily smash that barrier with Texas Hold'em

Gutsy Move (15)
Place a bet of $50,000 or more. Not valid in Scenario mode.
*Simple - join a 50,000$ player match normal game, go all-in.

Winning Streak (20)
Win 10 hands in a row during a game session.
*Easy - In a single player tournament vs AI, just keep going all in.

Chunk of Change (15)
Build one of your bankrolls up to $100,000.
*Pretty easy, join a $50k player match normal game, and play smart.

Millionaire Club (20)
Build one of your bankrolls up to $1,000,000.
*Fairly easy - same as above.

if you do gutsy move first, you can even land right on 70,000! <ocd drool>

Gamer Parents, what do you think of Grand Theft Auto IV? Do you think it's not the right thing to buy that game while you are having kids at this time? If you buy that game, what are you gonna do with your lovely kid(s), wait until s/he sleeps, or what?

I am very curious about this. By the way, I am not a father (Young kid). I hope you do not mind me, but I am pretty mature for my age. :)

I understood that you, gamerparents, are taking care of your kid(s). Thank you for posting your answers! I will keep that in my mind when I have kids in the future.
Lucky, I am really sorry about that -- I hope you are doing great at this time.
MOSS, what if your kid(s) want to talk to you about something while you play GTA IV? I see you are not saying about that. So, I am curious. :)
Xeno, thanks for the link! I've seen a picture of your son, very cute. :)

When we had the last set with Vice City, it was never played when the kids were around.  I played when they were not at home (small appartment so we didn't have a downstairs) or when they were in bed.  And the boy knew he was not going to be playing it.

Only a single tear it was a good time for him to go. No shame in his last season imo if he would have retired a year or two before it would have been more upsetting to see him go on a bad note.
