This Is the Game I was complaining about. Gladiatus. The link is http://s3.gladiatus.us/game/c.php?uid=30030 I started a guild with my good friend Vince and Rick, and we all agreed not to pay money to get ahead in the game ,but to play it using out heads and just use the game money or as I call it monopoly money. The bad thing is...good old Rick decided to buy the rubies from the game so you get ahead faster. He is now a level ahead of me when he started a week behind me in the game. He thought it was going to do him good, but just frustrates the heck out of Vince and I.
This is a slow moving game, where pretty much all you do is hit a button to go on a quest and hope your stats are better than your opponent. If you win you get rewarded with new equipment to either upgrade or sell. You can use the money to bid at auction or buy from the store or other players. Its just not that simple. If you buy from another player its usually old out dated crap or if you bid on it, you usually get out bid and you lose your money.. (what a rip off) After level 9 it gets like going from grade school to being a sophomore in high school. All the Juniors and Seniors pick on you before you can advance. I'm still chugging along...wish me well

Stupid Internet Games

I don't know about every one else but my job is very mundane. So to pass the time, I some time play stupid Internet games. In between my calls I take helping wonderful people (gag me), I play games to pass the time, until I get bored and move on. Well, I started playing this game Gladiatus. It starts off fine, where you have to get money to up grade and to up grade you can buy it with the fake gold you make or fighting in an arena with some one you choose, who has lower stats than you do. Every thing is great and wonderful, until ....LEVEL 9. That's where you actually have to give them a credit card to buy stuff to move ahead or if you don't the people who do pay can buy the weapons and defense to over bid you to buy stuff and kick your ass. All I can say is what a bunch of shit. I don't know why they just don't tell you in the beginning .....pay or leave !

Wonderfull Customers

Well, I work for a major Internet company and I get all kinds of strange calls. Today I had a lady call and said shes 67 years old and doesn't know the computer very well. She ask if I could help her with a particular site and how to use it and how much it cost. I said " Sure, whats the name of the site? " She proceeded to tell me she would like to find some friends to talk to her age in the area and would like to know about " Adult friend finders.com" I was a little shocked at her request!!!! I advised her that it was not our site and that I don't think that was what she was looking for ( I didn't think she knew it was a VERY ADULT SITE ) I gave her a few different web sites to try. She told me that she would like to look at the web site. Before I could tell her NO! I heard the echoing click of the mouse. The first thing she said was......"OH MY! I put the phone on mute and laughed hysterically! She said she didn't know it was about THAT!
I have now come to the conclusion that any one purchasing a computer should get a licence just like a drivers licence....jeez. well that was my exciting day. How was yours

First Time Out

Hey this is my first blog Ive ever tried to write...so it will be at about an 8 Th grade level from a being from another planet with a learning disability. Soooo don't correct me I just don't care..lol

A Little bit about me... I like my coffee like my friends....STRONG AND BITTER!!!

Hey I'm not the brightest guy in the world but I just wanted to point out first some of the strange things I have had some people say to me. I think its funny. You might too?!!

Once I was driving along the freeway and the girl I was with looked at sign from the Outlet Stores, and it said " BLIND OUTLET" She of course says....." Wow! I think that's great! Do they put brail on the tags ? " I did't see her much after that.

Well, another one that was funny....wassss The time I bought a used computer that was put together. It was done very poorly. It was before most people had the internet. This was an old 8086 computer with a monocrome sceen. One day I had poor performance and a screen came up and said " your PC is now stoned: great I had (I think the first virus ever written). I finally had to replace the hard drive. A few weeks later my friend came to visit and saw me with the window open next to where I was working next to the computer. She ran over and quickley shut the window. She blurted out " You don't want your computer to get another virus do you!!" She said this with the most conviction. True story!

Well, enough stuff for tonight
