    So, when is the first meet? Is DSL working Andreas? I am ready to destroy Vince in Halo 2...

    Then Im ready for the local Chicagoland Fchat Olympics, where I am sure I can outsprint HuskerBill in the 100 meters.

    Yachting in the fall? I will start practicing.

    First to be launched into space, I will edge out Andreas on the next X prize...

    I will conquer all, watch me make a car from scratch Rick! Brat Stop eating contest against Frank, I will starve myself for weeks in preperation. First event Forza on Xbox, I shall be ready, I shall win.

    Roar!

    RocketBoy

    PS: If I fail it was because of a massive ego blocking my view of the tv.

    You know what's crazy??? I have a friend of mine who is ranked like 5th in the WORLD in Halo2. Apparently they have some sort of online ranking system and he is ranked like 5th. You know how many HOURS you have to spend playing that game to get that GOOD?? Sad!! ;-) And it's not like he is some dorky guy. He is married to a hot wife, and is a regular, good-looking, popular guy who still actively plays sports. Not the pasty-white skinny yet sorta fat, type I would picture "in the rankings"......

    I want IN on that Brat eating contest. Frank, you have met your MATCH!!!

    BTW: I'm sad to report, that SBC still hasn't figured out how to run a DSL line to my house. Activation date was last week and nothing is working.

    I like your new profile pic. The lighting, twisty roads, dreams of fun toys... seems to be working for the Christmas spirit at least. Always tempted to go for something slot car related, but after tinkering with G scale trains I find that they take up a lot of space.

    Thanks, it is a bit more in the spirit than the gangsta from Grand Theft Auto I had before in there.

    Do you know that slot cars now are available digitally? On a two lane track you can have up to six cars/players racing each other. Passing is possible and even pit stops with fuel strategies.

    Digital sets are available from Carrera, Scalextric and SCX. Check it out.

    All that food probably weighs more than I do. Just reading that list makes my stomach turn. Stay away Frank, please don't bring up the next topic of broken bone comparisons. I really don't want to hear about a boxer's and a biker's battle scars. It may force the normal Fchatters to become bubble people.

    All talk and no play? When is the Chicagoland going to get its first Live Forza battle organized? Take advantage of rusty RocketBoy as I have been having far more fun playing shooter games instead of racing while the wife wrapped presents for a week. Sklitz might be injured from being the weekend football star thus can not move his thumbs properly...

    We should set aside and agree on just one hour on one particular night a week or two from now. I have to download some Forza upgrade but that should not take long.

    People waited for you to get DSL lead FOC man. Now lead us into winter racing. You can be your own Bernie E!

    I'm having daily conversations with SBC. So far had three technicians spending hours at my place. To no avail. I haven't given up hope though.

    I saw that you rank at a 20 on Halo 2. Shame on you, you should spend your time elsewhere. Xbox name Sklitz correct? Ferrari Owner doesn't have a Halo rating. Would love to see Sci-Fi guru Tifosi give it a try. Would he be a Warthog or Ghost type of guy? Battle Rifle or covenant carbine?

    Never played Halo so I'm a bit lost at what you're talking about. I loved Duke Nukem and recently I spent days on end in Grand Theft Auto San Andreas.

    Still having my daily calls with SBC. One of these days...

    Sklitz...That is me...
    Actually I'm a 25 rank in Team play but that is another story....
    I think Andreas would be a fan of Call of Duty on the new 360. That is game is fun as hell.
    Being that he is a Sci-Fi guy he would love Halo, no doubt.

    Thanks.

    Not so fast my friend!!! I might not have been ranked before, but am a sparkling "6" now!!! Yeah!! I was an "8" for a bit but was screwing around on some mountain level with two other kids from England (one who I met playing Forza). They kept running me over with the Warthog and, by the time I was done, my ranking had dropped to a 3 from an 8. Ouch.

    My buddy is ranked like 24 or something. He is GOOD.

    By the way, you are on my friend's list now. Saw you put a request in. Accepted it. Shouldn't have, but did!! ;-)

    I was looking at it in Compusa on a x360 and you're right, that thing rocks. The graphics are awesome. At the same time I was looking at the Kong game on X360 and couldn't figure out why anybody would even load that crap.

    I play Call of Duty all the time online with my PC. Great game, a friend of mine in California got me hooked on it a couple years ago. I like going into the sniper areanas best.... I think it's the Ontario Sniper League Server ???

    Bill and I met up and played Halo 2 and Forza Sunday. I think I raced the only Ferrari in Forza only to get beaten by a Viper and did better in Halo...

    Regardless it works. So if Vince would lay off shooting the Axis in Call of Duty and Andreas doesn't fight with Comcast, we might have a real simulated Ferrari race before you know it. Or at least until the warm weather arrives, ( ie: Indoor Go-Karting. )

    RocketBoy

    PS: Bill it was great to be able to talk to you. You're a good, down to Earth guy.

    I'm not even trying to fight Comcast, that's utterly hopeless. Just winning once against SBC would be nice. I'm hopeful though, things are improving, so maybe in a week from now...

    I am sorry Rocketboy..I was in the middle of France and death and destruction was everywhere. I could not pull myself away..
    Actually I did not spend too much time online becuase I wanted to catch the Colt/Steelers game. If I knew you guys were going to roll some Halo I would have joined you for a few. Love that game...


    Thanks.
