  I know that many who will read this will not be entirely familar with my gaming background over the past year or so. About a month or two ago, I quit World of Warcraft, which had been the only gaming experience I was having for the past three years. Needless to say, it's a very social game, and the leaving all of my friends and guildmates was a tough decision in the end. 

  However this isn't a thread about my gaming history and another topic about me leaving WoW. I pose this question to you: What communities, other than Giantbomb, are effective ways of meeting other gamers who share a similar passion for gaming. Although I have plenty of friends that I see in the "real life", we don't really have similar interests, especially when it comes to gaming. My girlfriend is the same way, though she likes to rock out in Rock Band on easy vocals from time to time. Since WoW, I've been pretty introverted while gaming, especially on Xbox Live because most I encounter aren't the brightest lightbulbs in the box. Anyway, I'm sure you guys can come up with some answers.

  I've written my first guide on Giantbomb. It primarily focuses on how to get all of the Star Trek D-A-C achievements in a very short amount of the time, because let's face it: We all like points. Right?

Go check it out.

  So, I have all these games and that's something I haven't been able to say for a while. I have a stack of stuff I want to play, but I'm really having a TON of difficulty picking what to play. So as a result, I'm polling the Giantbomb aduience. Here are your choices:

1) GTA4. A pretty large time commitment, especially since my goal in all of this is to get as many games 1000/1000gs as possible.
2) Halo 3. I went ahead and bought all the maps in order to play some online.
3) CoD: WAW. Picked this up from Blockbuster yesterday and have it until Saturday or so unless I want late fees. 
4) CoD4: Although my disk was scratched to hell, I have a loaner from a friend.
5) GoW2: Is coming tomorrow in the mail most likely from the Canadian version of Gamefly. 
6) Lego: Indy: Is coming on Tuesday.
7) Lego Star Wars: Complete: Is coming on Tuesday. Although I've already gone through and got most of the original trilogy achievements, I am not looking forward to this one.
8) Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts: Anyone know how easy this one is in terms of points?

  If you've been reading my blog posts in the past week, you probably know that I have recently quit WoW to persue a much more well rounded gaming "career".   As of a result of playing WoW for so long and not really caring about the two game consoles sitting beside my television collecting dust, I found something extremely disturbing. All of my games, excluding a few ones that aren't even worth mentioning, were gone. Call of Duty 4, Rock Band 2, Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, all games that I have bought in the past three years that I haven't once spent more than a couple hours with at maximum. This also includes a little game called Halo 3. I've been so caught up in World of Warcraft that I didn't notice that my friends were picking apart my game collection like vultures for so long. I suppose I can be blamed for this, but I do have a friend (who held the majority of these games for a long period of time) who doesn't really look after petty things like 60 dollar disks very well. When I got CoD back, I poped it in this afternoon and noticed that on the third mission of the single player campaign, the disk became unreadable by my xbox. After cleaning it with the famous toothpaste technique, I have yet to put it in. But even after I got this big stack of games back from him, I was still missing one in which I wanted to try and get the full gamerscore out of. Halo 3. Eventually after tearing my room apart, I found it stuck between two of my little sister's school binders as she was the last to play it. It's a little banged up, but not as bad so I hope it works flawlessly. 

  Question of the Day: Are the map-packs that seem to be REQUIRED to go online with worth purchasing? Or is Halo 3 a dead game these days?
