Counter Strike and an update on the Horse.

The horse:
As some of you know my horse is having a foal. It is suppoesed to be due on June the 9. But a horse's pregnacy is 11 months and 11 days plus/minus 3 weeks.. Which means that she could give birth anyday. Yesterday my brother thought he saw the first signs of a birth, but it turns out he was wrong. But she is very pregnant and the foal can come any day. If it is a he we might call him either Sturla or Brage. I haven't thought of any female names, I think we might just look up in Kongsedda by Snorre. Any ideas? I want the horse to have a norse name since it is a old norse race. It is the type of horse that the vikings had, and the type that the icelandic ponies come from.

Today I played a lot of CS with my brother. I have missed playing on a regular basis with a group. It is a lot of fun and the adrenaline of jumping down into a cluster of enemies armed only with a Night Hawk (CS version of a Desert Eagle) is an amazing rush. Yeah I am a bit of an adrenaline junkie. I have to say the Night Hawk is my very favorite gun, and then the Magnum Sniper rifle on second place and the Maverick on the third. And whenever I have something that is not a pistol I have the NH as a back up. This is due to Ace and him, when I first started playing, telling me to run with only a pistol. People think I am crazy when I team up with people and they dress up in as strong as possible and I only get the NH. Or that I am cocky, or suicidal, or all of them at the same time. The truth is the second and that a NH is my best shot. I need to get better at using grenades though. I don't like them. And shields are just shitty, and I HATE the M249 (the machine gun). You have no precision. On that note I don't like the SMGs or the Shotguns either. In fact I only like pistols and rifles. Though the noob cannon can be very fun, it will stop anyone. But then again, so will the Night Hawk. But enough rant about fictional guns. Talking about real ones, this summer I am going to work on getting my hunting licence. Which means joing my dad and brother on the shooting range tomorrow. Hmm, maybe I can talk them into letting me try a shot or five.

In rpg news, I have come up with a little Shadowrun idea. It is going to take place in Hong Kong. Just because I can do it. And I might try running it as a AIM or Skype gaming session. That could be very interesting. Anyone have any expirience doing that sort of sessions? Bunny? Ace? And so far I think I have two players, Sibs and Claire, which means that there are some open spots if we can coordinate times...Anyone?
