Hello all, finally back into the realm of gaming again. Last week I dumped out the 5 gallon water jug of coins and built myself a new gaming rig. Happy to say all the modern games I was having problems running before are suddenly awesome!

It will take me time to get used to playing games again, I have been pretty much out of gaming for a year or two.

Things that are new:

My second son was born (Zachary) he is now 20 months old
I had major hip surgery December 20th 2010 and finally starting to notice that I can walk without pain again
I bought a house, two new cars and started restoring an old 1976 motorcycle
I went back to school, and have completed 8 classes towards my degree. I have a 3.94 GPA

Looking forward to being shot by all of you

-Bernard aka AstroDad

Nice to see you back AstroDad. It is great to hear that things are going well for you and your family, especialy when we are
seeing all of the tradgedy to so many others across the country and world the last few months. For some quality time in gaming,
Strap Zachary on one knee, pull him up to the monitor and bring him to the battlefield with you. He will be a Bk member before you
know it. Look forward to seeing you in game again soon.
