(sometimes youll be two or more if your team has to split up into seperate parties for some reason..)

Ok. That's cool. I am not much into video games so I was curious.

[Sparky83]

its cool... wasnt sure if youd know what RPG abreviation stood for so i typed it out lol..

i like games with story lines... or where im blowing things up or run and gun lol.. also a pretty good sniper in one of my games... but the sniper ones on my pc and tend to play that one online against others...

for awhile i got outta gaming... companys wherent making any games i liked... but theyre starting to get away from the "all sports" games again...

[95_Dually]

Yea it seems like something will sell and then all of the companies start making games that follow that format leaving all other formats behind.

[Sparky83]

well the sporty guys like them... but i never been much into football, base ball, tennis or any of them others... only sports i ever cared for was billiards and bowling... mainly cuz neither of them required you to do alot of running and things like that...

[95_Dually]

Billiards requires a lot of skill and geometry. I like billiards.

Bowling I was never very good at. I could not get the spin thing to go in the correct direction so I would just throw the ball as hard as I could down the middle and watch the pins fly. No real talent there though.LOL

i never did the geometry when i played... i just looked for shots and hoped they connected...

i use to do leagues (sp) in both... theres alot of people out there that dont throw curves... i do.. but its a small curve... only thoes big pros throw those exagerated curves ya see on tv... biggest thing you learn if you do it enough is different types of lanes take different types of balls.. some are made for synthetic lanes and others are made for hardwood lanes...

when i did leagues my home team sucked... but my travel league took 1st 3 yrs in a row before i had to quit... biggest difference between the home team and the travel teams i had... travel team actually would show up... home team rarely would... then theyd want to complain when wed never place.. (no surprise why.. ) did the state games once for individuals.. took the bronze medal... and when i did a pro-am match i came within 3 pins of almost beating the pro...

Wow, that is awesome. Why don't you bowl anymore?

i still do from time to time just not in leagues anymore...

2 reason got tired of my home team never showing up.. and my 2nd to last yr i over stressed my knee... would practice all week after school.. home league on saturdays every week... then once a month we did the travel league on sundays.. was just too much for my knee and gave out on me during the 2nd game of 6 on the sunday match.. spent the last 4 1/2 games playing on it... took fists of asprin the rest of those games too trying to ignore the pain from it... fell asleep in the back of the car on the way home from that match.. every time i played after that i had to keep asprin in my bag to ignore it.. finished out that year and played for another year..

some ways i wish id kept up with playing.. but now its just for fun... can still play a mean game though lol.. just ask the virginia guys... our last meet was on the lanes lol.. was a little rusty though...shoulda done better... but for not playing regularly in 9 yrs it wasnt bad...

[95_Dually]

That sounds like fun. Were you playing as teams or just against one another?

state games i was playing 1 on 1 in a laddar...

the other leages were all team vs team... my travel league i had guys on it that were usually always hitting above 200... home team when they would show up.. well.... were sad... half of them would never break 100s... (even peewees (really young kids) did better than them) other half would but didnt hit much above 150 usually... one of them though was the same guy on my travel leage... he atleast showed up every week...

[95_Dually]

Still sounds like fun though.
