Friday Night FragFest: July 4, 2008 - Independence Day Edition

posted by papi blez

Thu Jul 03, 2008 at 11:36:21 AM EST

I'm not sure how many folks will actually be around this Friday night since I'm sure many of you will be taking family trips and taking advantage of a three-day weekend. But I will be around for sure.

We're staying in town and won't be going anywhere. So if you are sticking around, sign up below and we'll have a typically frag-a-licious Friday evening. Of course Gears will be the game of choice. I don't anticipate that changing any time soon.

I'll be on starting around 8:30 p.m. PST to host a room. See you guys then!

Im gonna shoot myself in the foot by doing this, but here goes Ill be there. Working til 1030 on friday but afterwards I'll be down for some fraggin. In the past everytime I've signed up I either got on for a game or two and had to leave or just wasnt able to get on at all. The past few weeks I havent signed up and was able to make all installments FFF and SFF. Fingers crossed I'll be there, I wouldn't want to miss another classic suicide by Blank. Oh and Blank if you walk into the gas you die also the kryll on bullet marsh can also kill you, maybe we should just veto those maps out of the rotation for you!

        even get me started on one of the most overrated players to grace the pitch. He is a crowd attracter thats for damn sure but as for his skills on the pitch well he can kick a fuckin amazing free kick but other than that hes useless.

        I do agree that he is overrated (none / 0)
        
        BUT he also does some amazing things with corners, free kicks and crosses. Better than almost all players. He definitely coasts through games these days.

And one more that I would highly recommend is War Dance sad story its based around Uganda and a small village trying to win a dance championship but they come from Northern Uganda where its riddled with war and tradgedy but attempt to overcome. I think it won a Golden Statue for Best Doc.
