Summer. Means different things depending on where we live. Here in Arkansas it means it hits 100 degrees Fahrenheit in June and stays steady thru the first few weeks of September. I had one of those "why we're meant to be here, or meant to do times" this last weekend. The twins are getting smarter by the day, we have full sentences now, and I couldn't ask for a better step-son than Brandt. After the extended family drama of the past month or so, this was a much needed, lay by the pool and the five of us all hang out weekend. Gaming wise, well I'm in a rut. Still playing Scrabble, but not in any hurry it seems to finish GTAIV, and with NCAA 10 just around the corner it may not get finished anytime soon. Still waiting to open RE5 as well. I guess I'll have something to do when it gets nasty out! Hope everyone is doing well, and having a great summer.

Here's a few pics of Zoey, Addy & Brandt out back over the weekend.

Hello all. Hope everyone is well. The not so new now job of repairing windshields is going great. I have enough customers to keep me busy nearly 7 days a week, which is a good thing, except it's blisteringly hot. If there is a hell, I think I know what it feels like. I've never worked a job that was primarily outside, but am used to the humid Arkansas summers, but still wasn't prepared for this. 5 hours today felt like an eternity. On the gaming front, been playing Family game night Scrabble with the Mrs. She normally kills me in Scrabble, but not being used to the controllers caused her to be a bit off her game so I won the first week or so, that's over now . We've had high drama at the Taylor house for nearly a month straight now. Long story short, my little brother is insane. Always has been, but he started dating my wife's best friend, and, well it's been bad. Hopefully that's all over, I've washed my hands of it and am trying to get it all out of my head. Happy Fathers Day tomorrow to all, LJS, N-Real, & new pappa Travo! and all others I've forgotten. Hope you all have a great day, I plan on sleeping in a bit, and playing out back in the pool with the twins. Maybe even catch a nap if I'm lucky

Peace,

Bryan

Ok. Everyone here on GS is here because of a love/like of video games. Yes we come from all corners of the globe, which is cool, and have different ideas about how our lives should be lead. But recently becoming a mod, I've seen way too many insults about a difference of opinion on a game or console. It's not life or death. Can we try to be a bit more civil to our fellow members. Have discussions/debates til your eyes bleed. But respect the other persons opinion. You don't know how they came to that opinion, neither do I. Isn't life tough enough without our great little community having spats constantly? If you have a problem with someone, block them, end of story. I'm an Atheist. Some of the best PM's I have (sorry guys for the name drop) are with Blackregiment & Lansdowne5, now we couldn't disagree more on religion, but we're civil and I enjoy talking with others with different points of view. Another is Theo, what the hell do we have in common, almost nothing, but I truly enjoy talking with him. Point is, respect people, and their beliefs, even if you disagree. Just try to remember we're all in this together, this planet, and if we took time to respect and try to understand others points of view instead of flaming them, we might just learn something. I'm not here to preach, just a tad tired of all the bickering, "I'm smarter than you" that goes on so very much in most forums. Be happy we're alive, be happy we have computers with net access, and thousands of people on GS we can talk to about almost anything. Take care all, and let's try to make this a more civil and understanding community.

Peace to All,

Bryan
