As usual, I’ve got lots to write about, but never get around to it. The Fan part of being a “Fandad” has taken a back seat to just being a dad. Going to class, taking care of the kids, spending time with the family, it’s a lot to do and it doesn’t leave me with a whole lot of free time. The little free time that I do have is usually spent trying to level up in SWTOR or chasing another prestige level in MW3. That being said, I have neglected our blog, and I’m going to try to do better in that regard. Anyway, where was I?

To buy or not to buy, that is the question. Well, MY question is, should I get the Call of Duty ELITE deal? I do most of my playing on the PC (ahh PC v. Consoles, that’s a whole other post I’ll get to) and I’ve been waiting to see if they ever roll out the ELITE program for the PC. However, the 360 version just went down in price and I had an Amazon gift card so I said why the hell not. I can’t remember the last time I bought a game on multiple platforms, in all honesty I think it was probably MW2, but I digress. One of the reasons I purchased it on the XBox is because I have a lot more friends playing it on LIVE than I do on Steam. Tonight I tried getting into a game with someone and I didn’t have the maps they were using. I immediately went to the marketplace and I was about to download them, but then I started contemplating purchasing the ELITE deal.

I’m usually not a sucker in the sense that I don’t purchase a lot of DLC. I did buy the Gears of War 3 season package, it seemed like a good deal at the time, but I haven’t even played that game in months. So was it all that good of a deal? Knowing my luck, the minute I purchase ELITE, it’ll be rolled out for the PC. Anyway, that’s the dilemma, the fifty bucks it costs isn’t anything to scoff at, I could buy a whole new game with that. (Granted, it’d be another game I’d have no time to play, but you get my point)

I’d like to hear your thoughts and comments, help me decide! (I’ll probably end up buying it, I am a sucker I guess…lol)
