Our clan has disbanded

Our clan has pretty much disbanded which is rather disappointing. Our core team of about four people was made up of myself, Azreal, Azreal’s brother and Azreal’s friend Tintin. Tintin had some other friends who were great players and quite enthusiastic, but really only played whenever Tintin would ring them up and get them to log on.

Tintin and his partner had a baby this year so that’s affected when he can play and basically he can’t play when the rest of us have free time and especially on our organised gaming night, Tuesday nights. Totally understandable, so we can’t be angry about that. But it means that the other guys don’t show up anymore.

And Azreal’s brother is ridiculously disorganised and rarely answers his phone, let alone show up for an organised, weekly game, so relying on him to be there each week is not an option. Even if we call him to find out if he’ll be on the server is a hit and miss because he might not answer his phone. So sometimes Azreal and I play on Tuesday nights, sometimes we don’t. It’s not as much fun when we don’t have a clan. Plus we’re going off the game BF2 because of all the morons who play it.

But I can guarantee I’ll be playing tonight. Azreal gave me a kick-ass set of headphones for my birthday (which is today), Steelseries 5H. Azreal bought them for himself last year and I loved them. Much as I liked the pretty white neckband series, I preferred the headset style for comfort (the steelseries website seems to have the headset in white but Umart only sells them in black, and very cheap compared to retail price) I’ve been using the old ones that we’ve been sharing with our housemates for the last four years (sweaty, stinky guys) and they not bad but aren’t exactly in peak condition anymore. So I can’t wait to try out my new headphones.
