I'm Rocket.
I like to blow shit up.
I'll probably offend you at some point.
If I don't know who you are, it's not that I forgot, it's that I just don't care.
That is all.

Rocketman, blowing shit up online since 2002/3

(I forget which one, it all gets a bit hazy in our old age ).  Great to have you about the place Rocketman, we hope to either run events here, or let you know what's happening elsewhere through SITREP, to give you plenty more opportunities to blow shit up in the future .

Just thought I'd drop by and let you all know I'm back. And I know what you're all thinking, something along the lines of "Who the fuck is this idiot?" Which is fair enough too. I was registered here early on, but didn't really participate much. But with my PS4 due to arrive any day now (I'll kill some **** if it doesn't arrive soon) I figured I might as well get involved. And just so you don't feel the need to do any background checks that may or may not dig up certain incriminating evidence, here's a little about me:
* Been gaming since the late 70's
* Was a hardcore Nintendo fanboy until PS2 came along
* PS2 online beta tester, where I first met Axe99 and have been shooting him in the back of the head on a regular basis ever since
* Founder and leader of Socom 1 & 2 clan ~~HellFish~~ who were well know and generally respected throughout a variety of PS2 online games
* Took a break at the end of the PS2's run and picked up a Wii instead, until Axe convinced me to get on Socom Confrontation
* Joined SPT and went on to enjoy a variety of PS3 games, most notably Socom, MAG (which I absolutely adored), Starhawk, and the amazing GT5.
* Suffered some "Shooter Fatigue" late in the PS3's run, and become hopelessly addicted to Racers. GT5 was an obsession that lasted almost two years
* Really looking forward to Driveclub, Watchdogs, shooting Axe in the head some more, and maybe even bringing back the HellFish at some stage
* This pointless rambling will end in 5, 4, 3, 2...

EDIT: Axe I believe the Socom beta trials started around JulyAugust 2003

You can never go wrong with more Rocketman about the place .  As long as you don't mind your skull being virtually perforated every now and again .  PS4 is bloody awesome mate, look forward to seeing you on it.  At this stage, my tips for games would be Killzone as the best shooter (BF4's pretty buggy/glitchy atm, and the CoD guys report that Ghosts is a bit meh), NFS:Rivals as the only racer, and WAR THUNDER as the best/only flight game, lol.  Deffo give Resogun a whirl as well, it's free with PS+, which you'll need to play online, and is a top-notch twin-stick shooter .

Who the fuck is this idiot? Welcome back rocket.

[Rocket]

Thanks guys, was thinking of picking up Killzone and NFS along with checking out the freebies.

Looks like I won't be online with you all for a while after all. Had a PS4 pre-ordered with my local Tandy Electronics dealer, they didn't get any for the launch, but finally got some in yesterday. So I go down to pick up my console only to discover they had put an $80 mark up on it, I told them to stick it and walked out.

[Axe99]

That's bloody rubbish - here's hoping one turns up soon.  I'll deffo be up for some KZ whenever you do grab one .  Can't believe a 'respectable'  chain like Tandy would pull that kind of stunt.

They go about behaving like that, the few remaining won't be around much longer!

Congrats and enjoy......

Had a go at the SP for COD Ghosts and Killzone this arvo, honestly preferred Ghosts. But for MP it'll be Killzone all the way.

KZ's campaign isn't anything special, and is better in the second half than the first, so not surprised at all.  If you see me on PS3 or PS4 tomorrow and want to party up for some MP KZ:SF just say the word, it goes very nicely .
