Like you & DeadEnd... The Wife & I found X-box Live Together for our Favourite toy; when She bought me CoD4 it, came with a month online! Now, over a year of haggling out "who's turn is it", we finally found a game we can play online together... It was Love a first zombie kill in Left 4 Dead **Sigh** Now if I could just get her to play Halo...

Woot Woot!   i love how XBL always sucks in unsuspecting people and they end up being hooked for life ::ponders own transition::  man did it ever happen to me too lol.  What are friends for right? lol.  Leah grab Gears 2 and we will talk lol.  Got over Halo 3 a while back when G2 came out.

# September 8, 2009 4:52 AM

Lea Havoc said:

reply to Drifter72 - thats exactly how we are , we fight over who gets to play their game when and for how long , its so ridiculous... I wish i could get my guy to play halo also.

and in reply to christa - Im sorry i dont meet your requirements to be in the "spotlight"... ( do you feel the sarcasm , i hope so) Grow up and get a life.

to everyone else thank you for not being childish... Sorry no i dont play gears , i tried it awhile back and didnt much care for it.  I have been thinking about playin Wow again (mind you im not that great at it)... so if anyone wants to play Halo or Wow and im on hit me up!

Much Luv

Lea

Hello LeaHavoc,

  If I remember correctly, you flew through my airport at BWI not too long ago. I was the supevisor on the security checkpoint after you had come in and were putting your things back together. I had commented on your skates and you told me what you. So imagine my surprise on seeing you in the gamer spot light! lol. It was a pleasure briefly meeting you and good luck!!

By your responses to the questions you seem to be a intellegent woman and wear many hats.

1) A Mom: very tough Job (the 24/7 type)

2) your Man: Another very tough Job (the 24/7 type)

3) Time Management Supervisor: Roller Derby - finding time with the above 2 items to have a life outside of the Home is Amazing ! ! !

4) Inner-Joan Jett: Your inner alter Ego appears to be very energetic which is awesome considering the 3 above items.

5) Halo 3: Difficult game with requirements of forethought, planning, quick reflexs, high alertness level and team work.

6) Girl Gamer in a Mans Gamer World!!!

Girl you have got it "GOING ON" You "Totally ROCK"

I am a Grandma Gamer. (Grandma of 6) Mom of 2 girls.

I have been Gaming for years. I remeber when all the games were large pixels barely 2D. (hahaha) & PinBall machines were the best games ever. Your Mom should be Very Proud of you... I never respond to things but just felt I had to give you 2 thumbs up. You appear to really enjoy life and that counts for so very much.

I got my 1st xbox last Dec. 2008 as a birthday present and I got hooked immediately. I was a Playstation fan previously. I wont ever go back tho. I even had to purchase a 2nd XBox so when the grandkids are here and take over the XBox & computers I go to my room and game.I have the big 65" Box Big Screen with surround sound also in the Den. In addition I mounted a 42" Flatscreen in my bedroom with surround sound for the 2nd XBox. enough about me tho. You Live, Love and Game On. I wish you the best.

Thanks for being a possitive influence in life.

"Oxy"

Lea Havoc said:

Oxy id have to say YOU are the influence here.

You sound like an amazing woman, I cant even get my grandmother to sit down and watch a video game be played much less play it her self.

I wish i had a grandmother like you :) .

and yes it is very time consuming and difficult (im sure you know the difficulties of raising a child and a man at the same time lol) ....Thats what the derby is for, me time and a stress reliever.

thank you so much.... you really put a smile on my face with everything you said.
