ALL DDC GAMERS WELCOME!
I'll start with a quick run through the systems that we have:
I have two "gaming" pc's in my house, with another on the way.
Xbox360 (now just down to one)
PS3
PS2
Wii
2x Nintendo DS
2x Nintendo DSi (maybe one now)
My son is a fantastic Halo player who plays with his friends on my XBL account (though he's currently on restriction until he catches up in math). My daughter is getting into Halo as well and is doing very well in Reach.
My wife and I used to play Counter-Strike (1.3-1.6 then CS:S) competatively and for a time ran the Counter-Strike Team division at Proving Grounds where we managed 300 teams of players, monitored their matches, and watched for cheating. As a HUGE fan of the Half-Life seriies I've played the whole series through repeatedly, I'm currently taking my time through Portal2 while I wait for HL3 to come out.
As Christian gamers, we play we always use the buddy system, where one person always has another person in the room with them to keep them from slipping into inadvertant sin. Jealousy, hatred, cursing, etc. These are things that can be easily picked up when playing online and it's important that we play team games as a team so that we can grow together and not dissolve into bitter battles over meaningless and empty wins. I make sure to remind my kids that if they don't get a certain goal that they were trying to get that they know that it's an imaginary target in an imaginary universe and that it carries no real value in this world.
On the PS3, I play Battlefield Bad Company 2 (bad language in the single player missions, you can turn it off in the multiplayer) and Call of Duty Black Ops (fantastic when you turn off the objectionable content - 95% less blood and no cursing). A couple weeks ago at Miracle League we had the guys from Insomniac Games by to help "buddy" our players and I met some of the guys on their development team who have convinced us to get into the Ratchet and Clank series. T-shirts are coming for my son and myself as well as the possibility of a tour and beta testing! WOOHOO!
