Hey,
I'm not a noob
Or a noobie
And I dont live in my mother's basement
Or eat hot pockets
Or own any 1978 star wars action figures
And I don't know
BubbaFett90210 , IPWNZJOO or XXxSephiroth25487xXX from xbox live
Although I'm sure they're really really nice
I have a Real Life family and kids, not an internet dating subscription
I speak English not internet short hand or dysfunctional complex keyboard slang
And I pronounce it noob not newb or newbie or nub
I can proudly wear my guilds logo on my avatar for fun, I believe in group play, soloing
And diversity in game play
And that anyone who associates veteran with video games as a personal title is a moron
An MMORPG is not an MMO
And it is foolish to say otherwise
SWG Pre CU is dead
And they will never revive it, NEVER get over it
And the unfortunate part is... your not a veteran
Your name is Joe, Bob, Brian and so on
You are not a “Veteran”, you are a GAMER!
A few friends last night were black balling SWG fans and told me about the gamers version of the I am Canadian beer commercial and it made me laugh somewhat and thought I would post it, probably sure most have seen it, but eh for those who haven't here you go.
Sorry to SWG pre/cu players/ex players. Not a stab at anyone, I just had a short laugh over it and sharing it with others.
A game is just that... a game, not an emotional crutch.

Correction, we like to call ourselves "Veteran MMO Gamers"

HAHA no worries here. I played pre/cu for awhile myself and some NGE. My friends just ham it up over SWG cuz I used to play it and they have a mad hate on for it like most anti wow ppls.

At least MMORPG.com has respect for them:

Hmmm No I call myself verteran "Instert game name" er ^_^
I have tons of Star Wars action figures from 1978
lol, my parents back when I was still a kid, bought a bunch one time from a nieghbour i remember, telling me to never open em and leave them on a shelf....
o.O' i was probably like 7 or somewhere in there.
Of course Im going to open the boxes and smash em together screaming "die die die" to one of the figures XD
I even was spanked for that and i remember it being a long time before I was bought anything again lol

I never had any old school SW action figures that were actually unopened, so I played with the old ones just as much as I played with the action figures from the mid 90s. Surprisingly, they're still in relatively decent shape.
My father in-law laughed when he heard that story the first time, told me I pissed away a fortune. (Probably not that big of one).
But I did get the last laugh when he told me he had a gold mine once until he gave them to my wife when she was young and lost them.... they were some nasty fugly looking christian missionary/moses/roman kinda figures....
I doubt I ever laughed so hard in my entire life and ever will laugh that hard again.

I don't know, there are some good hot pockets out there...
Forever looking for employment. Life is rather dull without it.
This is great!

Or pizza stuffed in a chicken.

People calling themselves veterans just make me laugh. It's games!
Hey.
I'm a veteran of the 37 year war.
It started when I was born.
So far, I'm still alive and kicking ass.
But the enemy is a sneaky bastich.
