Re: Catching Up: Where Has Everyone Been These Past Five Years?

Cool topic Masta.

I think I left SOR in late 2007. I was busy with school and stuff and swbf2 seemed like it was dying out a bit, so I took a long break from the game altogether. I came back a few months later. I think SOR had moved on from swbf2 at that point. I joined VA for a little bit, which was (RAPTOR)Q/Eyes Only's clan. It was more of a modding/glitching clan. Q kind of disappeared, so I left. I was content to just freelance, but sometime (I think in 2008), Sinister asked me to join his clan SS. I did, but the clan fell apart about two weeks or so after I joined it. For the most part I think the only members were me, Sinister, and Neji. Sometime after that Q came back and rebooted VA. I rejoined, but then he disappeared again lol. So, I would say that since 2008 I have just freelanced on swbf2. I went to college in 2009, and since then I've just been playing sporadically whenever I can. Or if I feel like it. The game is pretty dead nowadays.

In real life, I just graduated from college about a month ago. My major was in video game design, and I concentrated on writing stories for video games. I also got minors in creative writing and English. So right now I'm looking for a job in the New England area (I'm from New Hampshire). During college I worked several jobs, like at Kmart (which sucked) and at a local museum. I also really like writing, so I also hope to write actual things like novels, screenplays, video game stories, etc. on the side of whatever job I find.

Love all these stories. I 'left' SOR at the end of our Warhawk days (we had one season of 11-5, I'll take it). I made Madden 09 GB playoffs the first season, then said hell with GB and kind of didn't play any game that competitively. I kept the BFC going on SWBF2, we've had some fun. Battlefield 3 I was in NINJA with, but the clan support came too late. Black Ops 2 as well, but I am not really a Call of Duty fan. Pretty much stopped competitively gaming altogether once college started.

Have an internship (really good one) now, and am entering my senior year of college for Civil Engineering. Oh how times have passed. Parallel isn't a chipmunk...Antifreeze married, Elmo is literate...

{Delta} have you forgotten who taught you your abc's and 123's?

This is pretty awesome seeing all you guys again. I dont even remember when i lost contact with everyone but i know i joined somewhere around late '07 or early '08, pretty sure i was in 7th grade when i joined. Well a lot has happened in the last 5 years where i almost dont feel like typing it all out lliol. Laziness at its finest haha.
Lets see...
As for video game related, after losing contact with you guys i started gbing a ton and got in with some pretty good guys on mw2. Even played in one of the pro circuits, did alright but nothing too noteworthy. After mw2 and gbing a ton i started getting tired of call of duty and video games in general so i havent been playing as much and if i do, its not usually call of duty. played a few different pc games for a while but right now i dont play much of anything too often but i would definitely love to start playing whatever with you guys again!
As for outside of video game stuff, the biggest thing in my life has become snowboarding over the past few years, im at home on the snow with my board, its hard to explain to someone who isnt into it. Im a certified snowboarding instructor at a mountain in the adirondacks and am loving it. Im not a snowboarder like you see in the xgames, thats not real snowboarding if you ask me, im into riding through the trees and the steep slopes and just cruising, plus i love teaching.
Just graduated high school and am headed to Syracuse University in the fall, well im going to an environmental science college thats a part of syracuse but same difference. This summer ive been working with my friend's dad doing residential construction building custom houses and what not and im loving that plus im making some great money. Hmmmm what else. Ive been with my awesome girlfriend for several months now, shes headed to Harvard for pre-med in the fall (damn smart people lol) and shes a singer with a record deal and stuff. So ive somehow landed a pretty amazing girl.

Anyways thats pretty much the major stuff i can think of right now. I would love to start playing with you guys again whenever i can, the PSN ive been using since my gamebattles days is IIGaTII so feel free to add me.

Glad to hear everyone is doing well and has gotten through whatever life has thrown at them in these past 5 years. Still cant believe i met all of you in middle school and now im headed off to freakin college lol

For those that don't remember Elite is NO MERCY's friend. Good to see you came and visited the site man.

by Elite- Wed Jul 17, 2013 11:45 am

yeah i forgot to mention that. oh well. i wouldnt count on him coming on here, we're not really friends anymore. Kinda went our separate ways in high school.

by **{SOR}Antifreeze** Wed Jul 17, 2013 6:48 pm

Hey Elite. Long time bud. Good to see you again!

by {Delta} Tue Jul 23, 2013 8:08 pm

Elmo, you mean who taught me my ros and 123's? Wink

by **AKM** Sun Oct 20, 2013 2:43 am

I tried to read all this but I got sad and wished I was young again and didn't smell like an old man. I have been wasting my life working because I am to afraid I will get caught robbing casinos...which is my dream job. It is good to see all the folks getting on here and talking. Sorry I am sooo late.

by **Axl** Thu Oct 24, 2013 12:05 am

Sup AKM. How you doing? Good, I hope. The idea of getting SOR back together at least casually had good will behind it, but people lost interest. But, Hey we had good times way back when.... lets not forget bout that. Moving forward, maybe Playstation 4 will have some sort of built-in clan/social group that will allow us to communicate more easily... who knows.....

I moved to the PC platform and love it. I never played so many games of different genres, amazing story telling and so on... Wait a couple months and buy that blockbuster title for half off or more... It's great how many sales PC does from different groups like Valve, EA's origin, gmg, gog, and especially amazon. SO that's my gaming experience..

by **{SOR}Antifreeze** Thu Oct 24, 2013 8:34 pm

Thanks for coming AKM! Aids and I were discussing getting a site back in order, primarily as a means of getting in touch with one another, which has been extremely successful. With the new technology and such, communication over the PSN will kinda be all that is necessary, rendering the website kind of irrelevant. Super stoked for SWBF!

by **{SOR}Aids** Thu Nov 14, 2013 7:19 pm

Hey elite, good to see ya! Can't wait for SWBF and the ps4!

by {Delta} Fri May 30, 2014 2:24 pm

If anyone checks this anymore...I miss ya'll. Just got a full-time career at HDR Engineering in Pittsburgh, PA as a Bridge/Highway Engineer making the big bucks. I'll be getting a PS4 as soon as I get a new car and save up some money.

On a gaming note, won the last BFC (you remember that right?) season ever this year on SWBF2. A decent amount of people came back for the final season, so I got to win the first championship with you guys, and the last one with Shotdown (MoH), Stern (DD), Poison (AoN), LAK (LSJ/ASO), Scout (SoF), and KillaK (DD, FEAR - a Destroyer clan). I miss the good ole' days of wrecking everyone in SOR, we had to work for this championship.

by Strife Fri Jun 13, 2014 6:49 pm

This is a surprise to see....

Been a long time since I've been thinking of this clan. All the things that happened back in the day when the game was populated with decent people. I still have memories of a lot of things that had happened. At times, I remember I was a dumb ass and childish...kid. But, it is cool to come across this and see how you guys have been doing.

Lets see now....I know i was just in high school when I left the game. So...that was back in...2007, I pretty much just went into other games, didn't really care much for bf2 anymore. As now I dont even play them anymore.

But life...hmm...where to start...

When I was starting out in my freshman year in high school, I was pretty much....fat...I mean I was 300 pounds and only 5'5" or 5'6"(I'm 5'6" now, so well, I think you get it. Short and fat kinda thing). Sophomore yeah I started to loose the weight, and it has been a ride for that. I lost 150 pounds in total. I have to say, I truly thank God for being with me that whole time, could not have done it without him. So since I graduated high school in 2011, I was weighing 220, and just over the last 3 years, I lost the rest of the 150. So now, I'm at 150...and I think I'm still loosing weight, weird, I even gained muscle(I almost have my pecs really developed, I can muscle bounce them a bit lol). I'm not ripped, but I am close. Anyway, so I'm feeling a whole lot better now then before.

I've been doing some mediocre jobs here and there. Then I went into corrections. That was some interesting experience. You never know what those guys go through until you become a correctional officer yourself. Loved it, and hated it as well. I would have stayed, but it was not what I wanted to do. So I left that, and now I'm in the process of going into Florida highway patrol(state trooper). I've always wanted to do that since I was in middle school. Now I'm in a position to go for it.

I pretty much been hanging around the BFC site. I spoke with delta awhile ago there, and caught up with him a little. That's how I found this; but it looks like it has been awhile since anyone has posted here. So I guess if you see it you see it, and if you don't you don't...

Holy shit it's Ranger!!! What's up man???? Longtime no speak!! Good to hear your in good spirits and feeling good.

by Strife Fri Jun 20, 2014 5:33 pm

Kdog it has been a good minute. lol

Dude, sorry to hear about what you went through with those cops...its bull shit what a lot cops are doing around the country now. But I have to say though...you live in new york city....soooo, I believe the cops there are even worse...that's what I hear anyway....

Thank you too. Yeah getting all that off feels a lot better, I have a lot more energy, and I don't get as hot in warm weather than before.

BTW, do you all still communicate outside of this site?

by **{SOR}KDog1800** Sun Jun 22, 2014 1:43 am

Yeah...NYPD are some of the worst. It's sad but I fear them more than strangers in the street. Only thing people can do is record(video/audio) EVERY encounter with them so you are at least covered in some way in case they abuse their power.

I still communicate outside of the site with some of the clan. A few by phone, some here on the site, some Facebook/Instagram and some through PSN(PS3/PS4).

by Strife Sun Jun 22, 2014 7:31 pm

It would to see everyone again...I mean yeah...i think it has been 7 years since I even talked to the others. It would be cool if you guys can regroup again. Bring back the old days. lol

by **AKM** Sat Jul 05, 2014 9:02 pm

Miss you guys! Hope you are all doing well. Looks like not much is going on on the site due to no common interest(game). Anyone interested in a group chat on PS3 PSN? Might be cool to chat. I will check back over the next few days to see what's up.

by **{SOR}KDog1800** Thu Jul 10, 2014 11:43 pm

Personally a lot of you guys are like family to me regardless of if we haven't spoken or played together in a awhile. We also have grown with different tastes in gaming. Personally I have gotten sick of Call of Duty. Ghosts has completely turned me off to it. I used to play all the time with JWAG(Fire_man), PBR and even Scratch/Moebe/Nero(all from RX2) but I can't force myself to play that crap anymore. Once I started playing Battlefield I haven't looked back. I feel like it's a way better team oriented game. Anybody want Ghosts for PS4? I'm selling it for $35 free shipping LMAO! I even prefer Killzone to it. I've also taken a likeing to co-op games. Stuff like Borderlands 2 I love.

by **{SOR}Mike** Mon Jul 14, 2014 11:59 pm

Miss you guys, any of you who want to stay more in touch feel free to follow my instagram. username: mitchlats22

by {Delta} Tue Jul 15, 2014 8:18 pm

I don't have instagram but feel free to follow me on twitter @oneway248

by **AKM** Tue Sep 09, 2014 10:00 pm

Mike you sent me a PSN msg with a new PSN the other day but I was in game and can't find the message now. Was it King Kamali or whatever? Is the Sparrx22 done with?
