The current craze, or passing fad, is multi-player online Call Of Duty 4 (COD4) action, with Tuesday meant to be the formal MP action night, but in reality most nights have been COD4 nights.  A roll call if you will:

 

spacemanmf

 

A little late to the PS3 world, relatively speaking, but got a good deal for waiting.  Now rediscovering childhood but in new HD, wireless online, seventh generation gaming era.  Likes to play for fun but still gets alarmingly sucked in, much to the mild annoyance of spacegirl.  COD4 tactic of running around like a headless chicken (a la Unreal Tournament or Warhawk) doesn't work so well, so learning to adapt.  Happy with either shooters (COD4, Warhawk) or strategy (Civilization 4).

 

mike_mayhem3030

 

Aka mayhem aka The_Stott_Junior, mayhem is fiercely competitive (see The_Stott), a trait observable by the audible headset groans whenever he is shot in COD4.  Likes to buy the latest games on the day they are out (see COD4, Unreal Tournament 3, etc).  Drove himself near crazy trying to unlock the best cars on Sega Rally.

 

The_Stott

 

Has a strong drive to play every game he likes to perfection/death and beating fellow game-players (especially mayhem) and rubbing their noses in it.  Obtains strong standards this way, mostly by utilising both in-game knowledge and more advanced vehicles/weapons/etc to attempt to retain dominance.  Met his match in Ogasawara2, though.  Likes to hide in corners and first floors of buildings on COD4.

 

MABarlow

 

Aka TheBoyBarlow aka TBB aka TeeBeebies, Barlow is also a strong and competitive player (surprising The_Stott with his COD4 skills on the first formal COD4 evening), with a history of Pro Evolution Soccer obsession (he and spaceman have had some ding dong battles over the years, remaining probably about even overall).  Likes to lie on the floor in COD4 in a most annoying fashion.

 

CFFIA

 

Aka Fletch, aka TheBoyWithAnEmbarrassingPS3Name, Fletch is fairly new to the COD4 arena but has already impressively flown past mayhem and spaceman on in-game playing time.  Mainly uses headset to curse on COD4 where possible, spent most of his PS3 time playing Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and Need For Speed: Pro Street.  Very quick to invest in new trend (COD4, headset, etc).

 

jake7sta

 

Aka Jacob, jake likes to hang around in skips (in COD4), although steady and regular practice has rendered this strategy less well used.  A friend of mayhem.

 

Ogasawara2


Aka Harry, Oga is clearly blessed with joypad hands, based on the evidence of his skill at Pro Evolution Soccer (don't mention the new version) and Call Of Duty 4.  Clearly spent far too much time on computer games in his lifetime (which is saying something given the above list).

 

Mrs_Ross

 

Aka Ross, Mrs_Ross is another PS3-owning friend of mayhem's, but chooses to immerse himself in the PS3 world (crazy amount of playing time) rather than join in with our fun MP games.
