So you hate Black Ops
Personally nicknamed Wack Ops.
Like in any COD game, you aim at someone, press the trigger for a quarter of a second, then get a kill and call it skill.
I must say, that in most situations this is true. There have been on many occasions where gamers thought they were so bitchin’ at Call of Duty like it was some major feat; as if they didn’t have nothing else to be proud of. If
getting a 10 kill streak is one of your milestones/dream accomplishments then in my opinion, you need to go outside. I have Call of Duty: Black Ops, I’ve had it before most had it. I didn’t get it for me though, I actually bought it for someone else. Since Black Ops was released, the game have been the ass of a lot of jokes and it seems a lot of people hate the game. The theories are as follows:
- You can’t quick-scope.
- You can Noobtube.
- No nuke boosts.
- The game lags.
- Fewer kill streaks to choose from.
- Nothing has changed.
- It’s not made by Infinity Ward.
- People really hate Treyarch.
- The graphics are that of Playstation 2.
- Cannot just get 4 noob-ish kill in a row, go hide in a corner and use a kill streak reward.
- Multi-player experience is pretty screwed.
- Firecracker gun effects.
- People comparing Call of Duty: Black Ops to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and getting highly upset because MW2 is better.
- Storyline is too long and you can’t skip past the story scenes.
- People not knowing that it was by Treyarch til it was too late.
- Glitches.
- PC gamers are riled up due to people already hacking the game.
- It looks like a re-skinned MW2 with different problems.
- Some weapons being overpowering.
- People find using the knife ‘hard’.
- Sniping is too hard.
- Maps are too small and too open.
- Has the same feel as MW2.
- You have to buy everything with COD $.
- Zombies is ‘harder’. [You would think players would appreciate the challenge]
- NO XP/leveling up in wager matches.
- In ‘capture the flag’ when the other team has flag it doesn’t show you were they are.
- Everyone can have a claymore and a grenade.
- Flamethrowers are the new n00bs.
- Sound is horrible, can’t hear anything; not even footsteps.
Plus many more…
With just few of those you can easily say these type of people hate pretty much every game. Seems people will complain about any and everything these days. People, do your research and maybe you’ll be less disappointed. How can you miss the fact that Infinity Ward didn’t make the game knowing you hate Treyarch so much? You guys are finally realizing what the intelligent (old school) gaming community has told you. The COD games have sucked sense Call of Duty 4. Every year or two they put out the same game with a few changes and slightly buffed graphics; sometimes they don;’t even do that.

Left 4 Dead ‘The Sacrifice’ Trailer
This is by far the best Video game trailer ever. Left 4 Dead – er I mean Valve did a good job with this one. So much was said with no words. My eyes got huge when I saw those three tanks. I sat on the edge of my seat when Bill ran towards them with a molotov, I was feeling like Zoey when the camera was veered towards her. I said “no Bill”. Valve should make a movie.
I am totally looking forward to this Downloadable content. I am SO glad that they didn’t forget about Zoey, Francis, Bill, and Louis; the true survivors of Left 4 Dead. I know they said they weren’t done with the original cast but it’s great to know it just wasn’t empty words to keep people happy.
& to think I was just playing Left 4 Dead earlier. My roommate was shocked that I was still playing it. I told him, real fans; dedicated fans still love play the first one. Lets see the boycott-ers boycott this. Doubt it though. They’re so quiet you could probably hear a cat piss on cotton if it was just them in the room with this DLC.
Question:
Is Bill really cut from the series? I mean I heard rumors that the person who did his voice passed away or whatever but that shouldn’t stop production. Who is in his spot? It can’t be Left 4 Dead with only 3 survivors. Why Bill though? Why not – wait, I love them all. If it’s true…why Bill? Man…I’m going to be upset if Bill is gone.
Wait…it’s called ‘The Sacrifice‘. I just added 2 and 2 together…BILL NO!!!!
Okay yea, just did some research. I’ve been on a gaming hiatus and didn’t get to play The Passing:
Bill is killed sometime prior to the events of Left 4 Dead 2‘s The Passing when he sacrificed himself to raise the bridge for the other three Survivors. According to The Sacrifice’s comic, Bill likely died protecting the other Survivors from three simultaneous Tanks.
But still BILL NOOO!!! Why did he have to go out on a “I’ve lived my life, you guys is just now starting to” bit! *sobs* If you haven’t noticed by now Francis is my favorite.
The Sacrifice DLC for L4D1 is a separate download than The Sacrifice for L4D2.
In The Sacrifice for Left 4 Dead 1 gamers receive the complete Sacrifice campaign with maps playable in Campaign, Versus, and Survival.
In The Sacrifice for Left 4 Dead 2 owners receive “The Sacrifice” campaign playable with the Left 4 Dead Survivors. In addition, those with Left 4 Dead 2 receive L4D’s “No Mercy” campaign. Both campaigns are playable in Campaign, Versus, Survival, and Scavenge modes and both will feature the Left 4 Dead 2 Special Infected, items, and weapons.
“The Sacrifice” will be available for download on Xbox Live for 560 Microsoft Points and free to all PC gamers.

Me & My Graphics Card
I would had loved to get the EVGA GeForce GTX480 but it cost hundreds more [I got this one for $169.99. The original price was $229.99]. The only problem I’m having with this card at the moment is The Sims 3. I should say The Sims 3 have a problem with my card concerning compatibility issues. When I cut the game up to it’s highest settings, it crashes straight to desktop. It didn’t do that with my GeForce 7950. Then again, that card is compatible with The Sims 3 and is a damn good card.
Newegg should send me some type of deal for being a constant customer. I’ve bought several items from them in under 2 weeks. My 25″ Hanns-G monitor will be here tomorrow.

I’m like a kid at a toy store. I’m planning on getting me another processor too. It’s going to be AMD because that’s what my MSI motherboard takes – duh. I do know one thing, I’m going to be in gaming heaven when my monitor gets here.

So I’m Buying Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock…

For a late birthday gift anyway. I doubt if I’ll even play it much since I have class and all. I just figured since I didn’t get around to buying Guitar Hero 5, I’ll give Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock a try. I saw through a few videos and the set-list‘s for the game that one of my utmost favorite songs is going to be on there; Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody.
What frustrates me about this franchise is that they watered the game down. I miss the challenge in the game like Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock gave me. Anything close to that after that was Guitar Hero: Metallica. People cried, bitched and moaned that the game was too hard and I guess Activision listened because Guitar Hero: Aerosmith was an insult on the franchise. It felt as if they had nothing else better to do at the time so they threw that monstrosity together and stuck Aerosmith in it.
People are saying that Rock Band 1 and 2 was better than Guitar Hero: World Tour through Guitar Hero 5 simply because
they picked the right songs. I have to agree to some extent. I really loved Rock Band 2 but I really hated their highways and notes. I’m planning on buying that game back some time this month because although their highway and notes are sub-par, their choice of songs were great and that outweighs anything else.
There’s really no point in fan-boys crying or better yet ranting about how one game is better than the other. They’re two different games for a reason. If they were the same in every little detail, you wouldn’t want to play it. I assume most who play these games play them to play their favorite songs. I must say though, Guitar Hero have been lacking in that area. I’m pretty much dumbfounded as to why they pick every other song by the Foo Fighters besides My Hero. It’s fitting isn’t? I guess it has something to do with legal use issues but don’t Activision at least listen to their consumers?
Let’s get on the guitar. Yes, being who I am I bought the bundle pack because it’ll be pretty messed up if my Gibson guitar finally give way when this game comes out. I doubt that’ll happen though. I’ve had it, strummed the hell out of it, stressed it, dropped it, accidentally wet it and it’s still kicking to this day. It plays as if it just came fresh out the wrapping.
My main concern is this; will the guitar – called Battle Axe hold a candle to my Gibson? Can I strum the living shit out of it without worrying about the strum bar snapping? Will this guitar’s strum bar at least have a better grip? That was the only flaw with the Gibson; my hand would slip sometimes because you know, they sweat. Besides the axes being backwards compatible with other guitars and games and having interchangeable face-plates will this guitar last without the whammy bar crippling?
I may sound like I’m making a big deal out of a piece of plastic but, I pre-ordered the bundle last month. I’m just hoping it’s worth the $116.89 [that's with tax and shipping by the way]. I’m a gamer who only have Guitar Hero games for her console. That’s pretty much the only time I’ll touch one now. When I built my gaming rig, I haven’t looked back since.
I’ll have to study the set-list more because I may have just half-assed listened/read it. All in all, I know I’m going to enjoy this game regardless because I’ve been with them since the beginning. If they’re up to snuff or not, Queen is on there and hopefully in the long run they’ll add more of Queen through DLC and other bands that I like…hopefully. I still have to download the DLC for Guitar Hero: Metallica; glad I reminded myself. I simply want to play Suicide and Redemption. So if I have to fork up some Microsoft Points to play it then so be it.

Here’s a side note:
Folks, gaming companies in some shape or form, milk their consumers in some way. Look at EA with The Sims 3 and hell The Sims 2 still? Also to you PC gamers, just because you’re a Call of Camping fan-boy and they screwed you over with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 by not giving you dedicated servers among many of other things doesn’t make them ‘evil’. Get your joystick out your ass ok honey?
I’m not naïve or oblivious to any facts. I’m just saying, if you really hate what Activision is doing, don’t support them. Don’t say you’ll go on eBay to get Call of Duty: Black Ops when it comes out in November to keep from supporting Activision because believe it or not, the money makes it back to them. The people you buy the games from can’t pull the games out the crack of their asses. The games come from Activision. So you’re basically supporting them through someone else. I mean they can’t be that evil if you still want to buy their games through eBay. Gamers with a chip on their shoulders can be quite the knee-slapper.

Burnout Paradise Screenshot

Believe it or not, people still play this game.
Anyway, this is just a random ass screen shot of the game leaving me some place that’s surrounded by water. I crashed and this is where it left me. I thought it was funny at the time because the first time I crashed it left me on top of a light pole. I crashed no where near over here by the way. Other than that, Burnout Paradise would of been awesome if they would of kept traffic check.
Don’t be an ass, I’m well aware of the graphics. I’m using a GeForce 7950 at the moment because I don’t have my 9500.











Y’all just keep giving them your money and expecting it to be different when somewhere inside, you know nothing has changed; nor will it ever. Call of Duty is a cash cow and they don’t care about their repetitive generic story, the game, the game play, or you. All they want is your money; and like robots stuck on stupid, you keep giving it to them. Stop acting surprised when the game sucks and no you can’t have your money back so stop asking where the “refund button” is because you gave it to them to begin with, which was your 1st mistake. Then you actually took the game home and disgraced your Xbox/PC/PS3 by inserting it in. which was your 2nd.
While instead of taking the game for what it’s worth and just playing it, the game is being criticized and ridiculed when y’all should be used to this by now. Everyone has their own opinion of course but if you went into this blind-folded expecting something different then you pretty much paid for what you wanted. It’s not the end of the world, you’ll be okay. Just go and play your Halo Reach that I’m sure most of you are so fond of. Also just because someone think a game suck, doesn’t mean they suck. Get the joystick out your ass.
Sidenote: If you’re a girl and you play video games. Big Whoop! You don’t have to start every sentence with “I’m a girl” and then say what you have to say about said game. You’re not getting brownie points and girl gamers are no longer rare. Good girl gamers are. I have one more time to play online in any game and I kick one of your asses and you send me all these messages telling me that I cheated and I’m a lame and that you want a rematch. If you want to play with the boys and you want the world to know that you’re a girl with opposable thumbs, sit down, calm down and just play the damn game. You win some and you lose some. Stop acting like a girl breaking your acrylics leaving me stupid messages.
