Yeah... There is No Title That Could Do This Justice

Ok put your pants back on.. it doesn't come out for over a year.

Who Wants Some

Edit: This is Regenfalls post but it screwed up the blog format somehow, so i had to repost it. All credit on these shirts will go to him, not ranvier, he sucks.


Good evening SWS members,

Awhile back I had asked our members what their spirit animals were, in the post "Spirit of the Eagle...Heart of the Muskrat...Rancid ass of the Skunk." One of most visited posts on the blog, by the way. I had stated this was for future undisclosed reasons, I will now disclose the past undisclosed reasons.

If you so choose you may a proud owner of a Official OG Southwest Stranglers SWS Spirit Animal Individually Numbered Uniquely Yours Named...wait for it...T-shirt. These shirts will be artistically done byRegenfall, when I have time, with your Box name, Spirit Animal and a few other touches as the High Council deems needed. The shirts won't be free, you see I have to buy them, then artsy them and then send them. So I will need some kind of monetary compensation for the buying and sending part of that equation; we will talk about payment later of what works best Pay pal or mail me. The love I put into your SWS shirt is free <3.

Please post following info in the Comments. I need this info quick though.

Size:

Color (this won't be exact but the general color):

Spirit Animal:

Box Name:

(Update!) The deal on the shirts was short and the colors and sizes picked over (I'm sure it'll shrink) so sorry folks. You'll get as close as I can get and the color is a surprise!

If I am not #1 in your life then #2 on you.

Dear readers of the SWS,

I am here today to discuss something of utmost importance, our blog. This is our blog, the SWS is worldwide if you may have missed it we are on the internets and rule the blog-o-sphere and we have an opinion and a voice. It has come to our attention that many of the readers still refuse to comment on the content of most awesomeness thing on the net and the world, the SWS blog. If you have no comment, you are silent figure who is not recognized. We all want to be heard and all of us love to read what others have to say. We are the SWS, I know you have a voice and opinion. If you have an idea for a post, post it, if you have a comment, comment it, when I was hungry, I ate, when I was tired, I slept, and when I you know, I went.

While the Box brought us together it does not bind us. Posts don't need to be about the games we play, it could the about the game of life. We all like to see the world outside our doors, let us know how you feel, your amazing life or a quizzical idea that had happened upon you during your day. SWS doesn't live and breathe without you. Let's keep it clean and keep it fun.

SWS out. Wut! Wut!

We Both Knew It Would Come to This

Dear Modern Warfare 2,

This is probably the hardest letter that I have ever had to write.  Our relationship has been both one of the best and one of the worst that I have ever had.  We have laughed, cried, and screamed for the past year.  However, I think that it’s finally time that I pull myself away from your bitter, cold grip you black hearted slut. 

Before we began seeing each other I had been keeping an eye on your online dating profile.  You promised me the world.  You appeared to be funny, smart, fun and you swore you weighed 120 pounds and were 22 years old.  Of course, as we both know now, that turned out to be a horrible lie.  When I met you at that internet café for the first time you were nowhere near what I had expected.  You were 243 pounds, 37 years old, had a lazy eye and a speech impediment.  Luckily for you, and maybe for both of us, I am not shallow and got to know you more than just your main story.  Your main story, who you really were, was one of the biggest let downs that I can remember.  You seemed to be thrown together and filled with cheesy action movie clichés and didn’t even attempt to be as deep and meaningful as you had promised.  However, I thought what the hell I might as well get to know you a little bit better, and for awhile, I was surprised and maybe even in love with you.

Your special ops mode was better than your main story by a long shot, after spending a few hours with you playing these modes I began to see more of your redeeming qualities.  There will probably be nothing like running from waves of juggernauts with Regenfall, trying to get to one of your cheap hiding spots where the bad guys couldn’t see me.  I should have realized then how fucked up you were, but I was blinded by my animal lust for you.

Then I found out who you really were.  Your multiplayer mode defined you.  Sure it was great for awhile, until a few problems starting popping up, first it was the javelin glitch, I could have lived with that.  Then you told me that you had been cheating on me with other people and contracted both the care package glitch and the 1887 glitch.  This should have been the last straw, but I just couldn’t get over you that easily.

Sure, I had been flirting with Bioshock 2.  She was cute and different in a great way, but she was bossy and had a lot of Little Sisters which she insisted that I look after all of the time.  After a brief encounter with Dragon Age, she just didn’t do it for me; I came back to you once more.  You had been telling me that you had changed, that your viruses had been fixed and you were even going to get a boob job which would help to Stimulate our relationship.  So I thought what the hell ill come back and play around with this new “Stimulus Package” you were offering and for awhile everything was great.  However, quickly to novelty of these “improvements” wore off.  Sure it was great for awhile, but come on who makes their ex pay for their boob job? 

So I left and I found the warm, simple embrace of another right around the corner.  Red Dead Redemption was one of the most amazing women I have met in some time.  She was simple, gorgeous and made me feel like a man.  Yet somehow I left all of her great attributes behind to come back to you.  Once again I returned for another new upgrade, this time a face lift.  The Resurgence of our relationship was great for a bit, but the facelift didn’t last long and I grew tired of you stealing my life away from me. 

Now I am finally going to be free of you, I gave you one last weekend and how did you repay me?  You made me fight all of your other boyfriends who happened to be cheating bastards.  I loved you and respected you for who you were.  They took advantage of your emotional problems and used them for their own benefits.  It doesn’t matter, I’m going to leave you to the cheaters, you deserve them and they deserve you.  You are probably my greatest love, and greatest heartbreak since Fallout 3.  She was perfect in every way.  I waited on her hand and foot, I even collected all of the bobble heads and magazines she left laying around after yet another kegger that left her waking up across the city.  She was amazing, until that cold hearted bitch broke my heart too by telling me she was moving to Vegas and never coming back.  Game over.

I have given you more time than any other multiplayer game ever.  You introduced me to some great people and brought this clan to new heights, but we are done.  I am moving on to Halo Reach.  Is she a rebound girl friend?  Possibly, but she is lookin pretty good right about now and in no time your new hotter sister, Black Ops, is going to be hitting the store shelves and I’ll undoubtedly be having another love affair with her in a few short months.  I want you to know that I’ll always love you and cherish the memories that we have had together, but I never want to speak to you again you skanky slut whore.  I want you to know that I don’t only speak for myself, but also for Regenfall, we are never gonna run a train on your skanky ass again.  Goodbye Modern Warfare 2, I will never forget you. 

Love,

Ranvier

Halo 3 Baby

So Psia and I got in a time machine and went back to 2007 and busted out a little Halo 3 tonight... Lets just say there was a learning curve.

On that note from what i have seen so far Halo Reach has gotten very good reviews.  Regenfall and i have pre ordered our copies and Psia plans on renting it first.  Who else is planning on getting it on Tuesday?  4 player co-op... playa.

This was unusual for me to do this so I was concerned, but decided to see where this rabbit hole was going. 3 matches in I hear a voice, not like a man but of something supernatual, not of this world. It said "Ranvier, where does this world begin?" and then there was a response with a voice completely different, yet the same. It said "Regen, you know the answer. Where the sky is filled with the dreams of a thousand gay men. What is that Regen? That figure in the mist that smells of avocadoes and guitar strings." Regen responded "It says that it's name is Psia and that our presence has enchanted it and it cannot begin to see what it's life would be without us." To which Ranvier responded "I think we should allow him into our clan of freedom and grace.", and Regen responded "FUCK YEAH!!!"

Lets Keep Em Clean Fellas

Boys it has come to my attention that some of you are playing video games so often that you no longer take the time to clean yourselves.  Frankly this is a disturbing trend.  Sure the SWS is a great gaming clan, but more importantly we are also pimps with the ladies(or men if you swing that way... psia).  So i feel that i should, nay i must, inform all of you of a product that will help you clean your man zone.  The SWS will never be truly great until we are all getting laid.  Considering i have seen some of you, let just try to get the dry spell broken before we move on to more challenging goals.



i love you.

All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues

As I sit here riding through the “great” town of Iowa City and listening to my favorite Taylor Swift album I find myself debating what I should be doing with my time.  Study? Nah.  Sleep.  No Its hard to sleep on these germ infested bumpy mother fuckin busses.  Internet is out so all I really have to write another post that no one is going to read except me.

First off below is the next black ops videos.  After watching this and reading up about it a little bit I am more excited for black ops then I was about mw2 (gasp!).  I like that after 3 years of basically the same system that they are going to switch it up and add some challenge modes to the typical team deathmatch.  As we have become more and more skilled I have found it can get boring dominating 30 or 40 matches in a row.  It will be nice to have a few new modes to play around in on occasion. 

Additionally the new system of unlocking guns, killstreaks, should be a lot of fun.  It appears that now you will earn CoD points and be able to use them to purchase various guns, attachments, etc.  I think that this is a great decision.  I am hoping that this means that I wont have to wait till level 147 to unlock the “best” gun in the game.  I get tired of waiting till level 48 to unlock the acr after every prestige.  Maybe now I can save my points and not get a few crappy guns and get the acr equivalent for level 20.  I am hoping that it works out this way.

Also it is looking like there is going to be a full on 4 player co-op game as well as the best news that I have heard in a long time, the return of the best kill streak in the history of call of duty.  Motha fuckin blood thirsty puppies.  I cant wait. 

On a side not the girls that go to U of I are significantly over rated.  Clearly this is yet another misrepresentation of the “best” school in the state.  I digress.    Anyway off to Chicago finally.  If I continue to be bored who knows maybe ill start rambling on here for the next few hours. 

Edit: Illinois girls: worth the wait

oh and all labor day weekend its double xp on mw2
