My MW2 pet peeves.


I have been playing Modern Warfare 2 since it came out. I've had fun at the beginning when everyone was pretty clueless to what the game had to offer; BUT the minute everyone realized the petty perks, the game wasn't fun anymore. Some people say "Well if it's in the game, then it counts or its fair". With all due respect... FUCK THAT! The perks I have problems with are all going to be talked about.

Marathon/Comando/Ninja- This group of people runs around super fast with nothing but a knife and will stab you because you can't see it coming. Infinity Ward tell me this... Who in their right mind would run around a war ground with a knife? Yes, it's a video game but be real all the way around. The story mode has the controversial level to bring realism to the game. So why should I have to suffer with something that really involves no skill at all!

The next things I will bring up aren't exactly perks. They're extras, weapon add-on's, etc.. First off! Noob Tubes! I will use an example of why this sucks. I'm on the other side of the map with my red dot scope on a guy. I fire 2 shot bursts since he is so far away. I almost have him dead and what happens?? He shoots off a noob tube and kills me with no aim or precision whatsoever. WTF? I haven't wanted to kick somebodies ass so bad in a video game more than that.

Thermal Scopes- Seriously? A scope that completely outlines all of your targets? There is no skill in sniping/shooting with a Thermal Scope!

Akimbo Shotguns- I'm pretty sure that one shotgun could blow a man pretty much in half, but TWO! WOW! You have double the chances to rip a man apart! No... two shotguns are not cool especially when you can get killed from 15-20 feet away with them and shotguns ranges aren't that accurate from that far away. They suck and the players who use them I will pick them up and shoot you with them, just so you wont use them again.

Heartbeat Sensors- So I can be crouching around the map but a guy with a heartbeat sensor camps and knows that I am coming? It's like pure cheating.. I have seen it so many times that I'm walking around the corner and the guy just sits there and waits for me to walk around. So... Could he not shoot me if I was running full speed?

I understand that there are gamers who like these add ons and I respect that fully. Why should I have to deal with it though? Can the gamers who actually play the game for skill get a game mode with those things disabled? Something to test your real skill? I am tired of being two kills away from a nuke and a Noob tuber or somone with a knife killing me in the craziest way. This really makes the game unfair and seriously makes me not want to play it. That is my opinion and I know there are people that feel the same way.

"NBA JAM" Wii first look!




This is the first and only picture of the new NBA Jam so far. Apparently they'll be 3D bodies with 2D faces. SO I guess the faces will be still pictures of the players. Seems pretty different.

What the Simpsons did for Gaming.


Since the Simpsons' TV showed launched in 1989, more video games have been made about them than just about any non-game franchise this side of Star Wars and Dragonball Z. Unfortunately, the medium doesn't have much to show for it.

On Sunday FOX TV will air a 20th anniversary celebration of The Simpsons TV show with a special entitled The Simpsons 20th Anniversary Special: In 3-D! On Ice. Critically lauded, the cartoon exploits of Bart, Homer, Marge, Maggie, and a host of lunatic supporting characters are not just landmark of American humor. They've been the inspiration for a wave of cartoons targeted to adults. It introduced the word "D'oh!" to the American lexicon, spawned a feature film and convinced people to buy Butterfingers.

Secret Modern Warfare 2 Mode. Global Thermonuclear War



This mode looks like a mix of Sabotage and Domination. There is only one bomb, but instead of carrying a bomb to the detonation point (sabotage). You go to the warhead and you try to gaurd it and surround it as you gain points for gaurding it. Then at the end the nuke goes off! BOOM! LoL, I wouldn't mind playing this. It seems like it wouldnt be that bad.

Michael Jackon's "This is It" PS3 Bundle



There is a new Michael Jackson PS3 bundle. It comes with the "This is It" movie on Blu-Ray and all of the normal things that are stocked with the PS3 system. It is only in Japan but I'm pretty sure you can find one somewhere online. The price converted in dollars is $366. Which is about 60 dollars more than the normal PS3. You could probably get the movie and PS3 by themselves for cheaper.
