Yes, I am realizing that my lovely wife has a gaming "gift". She has become completely enthralled by Call of Duty 4 and WaW. She even woke me up early on Sunday so we could jump into a few matches…while this is a dangerous move, “get up, I need you to watch my back on Headquarters, these Timmys won’t cover me while I capture” is actually delightful to wake up to as opposed to “wake up, the cat just puked all over the place”.  


But I have noticed something that is hurting us in the game….people yelling out locations of the enemies and we have no clue what they are talking about. This has turned into a fun little game. We are under heavy fire, diving to cover and calling for help it goes something like this….


Me; I’m under heavy fire, get over here!


Wife; I’m coming, where are you?


Me; I don’t know!....Grandma’s house! Grandma’s house!


Wife; Which one’s Grandma’s house?


Me; (laughing)I don’t know!


 


I did hear one person identify grandma's house to me....they said it is the house tht looks like a grandma's house.....well, to me that just described everything but the barn...and I don't see anything that looks like a suburban Bi-level so it can't be my grandma's house they are thinking of.


It’s getting a bit difficult to yell out locations…since telling someone “I’m near a kind-of bombed out building by a fence” or “I’m in an alley by a car and a dumpster” just doesn’t cut it. So we will have to take some time to learn what these places are called….does anyone have a map with a guide?


 


But we gave the Hardcore Mode a shot on WaW, it was very fun but we were dominated by a group of Scottish, or Irish….or Australian guys….I couldn’t understand a single thing they said….except the profanities, they came through quite clearly…and constantly…..btw, what’s a “Wally Plunked Bob Sitter”(sp?) and why do I think they were talking about me?
