A Brief History of Roleplaying, Part One

I totally missed Battlefield 1942 when it first came out but with the recent Secret Wepons Multiplayer Demo release have found a great time sink. The big draw is the combination of vehicles, first person shooter and strategy simulation, what a combo. I’m really looking forward to seeing some other renditions of the combinations. Maybe some outside of WWII and the Battlefield engine. Maybe a really brain dead simple battle editor.
Now I just need to find a LAN party for 32 on 32 battles.

Went out and played a round of Disc Golf with one guys from the gaming crowd and a couple of his golf buddies. The course was at Shillito Park, which I haddn’t been to in the daylight since returning to Lexington. It was actually a good amount of fun though my arm is kinda sore. I know that it was just throwing a fresbie disc but the discs and throws are not like playing Ultimate. It was fuin, got a good walk through the park and plenty of bullshitting with a couple of etomologists and a carpenter.
