Beware. Random ramblings ahead spawned by late hours and a lack of social interaction (AKA: A girlfriend) that may only mean something to a handful of mercs. In before pointless thread comments.
So... Title... Yea. It's been far too long since I've managed to acquire a little place to call home. Jumping between a few corps throughout the early days of playing this game, I got lucky in finding Psygod9. The CEO reminded me of a few friends from other games, cool guy all in all and I certainly miss em, even if his last few months in the game were spent spamming tanks and complaining about how broken the game was... (Not that I can disagree.) Negativity aside though, that corp was kind of like a second, er... third... fourth... family? Sheesh... I've been playing videogames way too long. Almost every game I've gone through though that I got really invested in, I'd always find one of these corps, a place where I felt comfortable and got to enjoy talking to the players in.
Like all good things though, eventually it faded. The CEO got bored of the game and moved onto other things as most sane people would do after playing Dust for two years. This wasn't before the corporation merged with a few others, but at the time, I wasn't really willing to let go I suppose. It was just something I'd gotten so used to, and I wasn't all that interested in joining K.E.Q (Though quite a few of the remaining Psygod9 members merged with them) Breaking off from a dead corp was only natural at that point though, and I've been running solo ever since, occasionally picking up corp invites, a few of which were from old friends.
Up till a few weeks ago, I usually just ignored them, but it's been getting a bit lonely playing solo for so long. Recent invites to corps like O.H. and Third Rock from friends both new and old really got me wanting to join up, but like with K.E.Q, most of those invites had never really resonated very strongly. I'd hop into the chat channel for a few days, LFS for a few hours, and never really get an invite. In the case of O.H., I couldn't even get the time of day from the CEO. Well, that's too bad! I don't have to sit here and help you wash your hairy bagpipes, I can breath radioactive mouth lasers!
Ahem... um... So, that was usually the case with most of the corps I'd go to check out. They never really felt like home, just a place to find a squad at best, and at worst, another chat room to help Dust freeze on an hourly basis. Now the dilemma rears its' not so ugly head. Recent invites from friends and people I actually enjoy talking to to Third Rock, Horizon's Edge, and Corrosive Synergy have left me in a complete pickle. On one hand, Dreis has claimed dibs on my booty... I-I mean... my Plasma Cannon! ... for T.R. And... no homo, but I rather enjoy squading up with the guy. Problem is, he's... one of the few in the corp I actually know/like. Saxon's a good slayer, but I think the closest we've ever gotten was the back of my hand across his face during an ambush. I suppose he did spawn on my uplinks that one time, but... wasn't exactly a romantic date either time.
Beast and Lugmos are both pretty cool, though I suppose I don't know them all that well and haven't managed to squad with them too often. There's the Youtube channels though, so that's a plus... I swear, I actually love you guys and don't want your bodies simply for stardom! No, but really, anyone who runs around with Plasma Cannons, pimpslapping people is cool in my book.
Annnnd... then there's Horizon's Edge... I... honestly don't hardly know the CEO, and when Epic invited me, I'd only recently come across him in a match. We had some rather entertaining 1v1's around a socket in a skirmish match though and I'd spotted him before in a few matches, but I don't think we'd ever exchanged messages before that. It was a great time though, and the invite was rather nice... though I think he was trying to bribe me with crack or something... Oddly enough... I've felt the most at home here. I have no clue what it is, but the people I've been in a squad with thus far, including zDemoncake, have all seemed quite friendly and the company has been rather nice. I'm not sure how they do in PC, but in terms of social interaction (I know, I'm sad relying on a videogame for that.) I've rather enjoyed it. Still have yet to hook up my mic and really get talking, but it's just been a nice experience over all.
And thus my inability to make decisions arises. I like all the guys (... I'm gonna need a lot more no homo to make that one sound normal...) that have invited me and I'm pretty sure they all do PC... huh... I forgot about Kubo and Planet Express there for a bit... I'M STILL MAD AT YOU FOR PULLING OUT YOUR AR WHEN WE WERE HAVING THAT PLASMA CANNON FIGHT, YOU ***! Jk... totallynotI'mgonnaburnyourhousedowninyoursleep~
But... where was I... Ah, yes... I have no clue who to join at this point. I kind of just want to be in all three... and Dreis already called dibs... wouldn't want to disappoint the one buying me dinner under the moonlit sky~ I like cinnamon scented candles, by the way~ But I'm not really sure if I could fit in there, not to mention I really only know a few people... and they don't talk much, I like listening to people talk for some reason... makes me feel less alone I suppose.
End ramblings.
