For those who have been around this web site for a while, you might remember something from last spring called "Weekly Gaming" also known as A**hole Free Gaming (or "AFG" ... for short).

What is this? Well, run and organized by gamertags ebstone and RedRumSkippy (which is one in the same person), "weekly gaming", or "AFG", is a group of gamers that gathered each week to play a variety of online console games (on the Xbox 360 platform, for the most part). The group, numbering more than 100 at times, was made up of gamers who enjoyed an atmosphere of fun, yet competitive gaming, all the while making friends to add to their ever growing list on Xbox Live friends. To this day, many of the friends that were made through those sessions remain playing with one another.

So whatever happened to the weekly sessions? How come they seemingly disappeared and this web site went stale? The question has been asked alot over the past several months, and now we have the answer. Its pretty simple ...

Life got busy, which sometimes happens, as it did for ebstone / RedRumSkippy. We have all been there. The sessions and its organizations seemed to fall to the wayside. Gaming had to take a back seat to several other, more important things in life. I know, like what could they have been more important? ... LOL ... Never the less, we are happy to say that Weekly Gaming is back my friends!

Starting after the labor day holiday, we will be returning to a schedule of your favorite games on a regular and more organized basis. We will start slow, perhaps one or two sessions a week. As always, you'll be able to drop either, ebstone or RedRumSkippy an Xbox Live message and suggest a game, or simply make a suggestion of any kind to improve the experience in general we all share and enjoy.

Also, as in the past, there will be the usual reminders sent before each gaming session so you'll know what games are being played on what nights. Also be sure and keep an eye on the web site here for advanced notice (right hand column under "Gaming Schedule") on upcoming and special events. If your not on ebstone's or RedRumSkippy's friends list, be sure and send a Xbox Live friends request.

To get things rolling, we are going to be playing Unreal Tournament 3, this coming Tuesday September 3rd at 8:30pm est with your host ebstone. Now, this game is one of the latest releases that has been overlooked during the summer months. Do yourself a favor, and on the way home from work on Tuesday, if you don't already have it, go and rent it for the night and join us for some quality fragging in some great arenas in futuristic worlds!

Until Tuesday, here is hoping you all had a great summer, its good to be back gaming full time, be sure and visit this site often, and I hope to see you in many of the upcoming weekly sessions!

Peace
