Call of Duty World at War

So I just watched this trailer on Kotaku... -sigh-

First, I'm sick of WWII games. Call of Duty 1 and 2 were great, all the spin offs and the third game? Fine, okay, whatever. But then came CoD4 which made us want to never go back to WWII. Why go back to it again? I guess if you try to make it like CoD4 gameplay wise online and offline, people will buy it, but how many WWII "fans" are out there? Only so many types of guns and perks can relate to the time period of the game. In an interview I watched on Xbox Live, they said they added vehicles. Why? The game is good without vehicles. And yes, the first one had vehicles, but only for a little bit. They didn't use it as a driving point for the game... no lame pun intended.

Second, why the hell is it so over the top looking now? People are fucking flying everywhere like the super agent from Crackdown decided to show up with his rocket launcher and blast some fucking Nazi bitches. There's huge explosions, people running and gunning, and people flying everywhere in flames. This doesn't remind of the good old days with CoD.

Third, of course, it's not Infinity Ward, who made 1, 2, and 4, which were the good games in the series. It's not a total downer, since IW is working on CoD4 online somewhat still and hopefully on a new amazing addition to the CoD series, or something entirely new.

I'll give this a try, but it reminds me of a WWII era Battlefield Bad Company game. Except not funny.

Also, this is epic win.

Tsing Tao and White Castle

So, it was suggested I started a blog.

And so! Here it is.

Not a whole lot going on today. Woke up after a day/night of alcohol and illegals, I chewed on some microwaveable White Castle sliders from last night, then I started and finished Lost: Via Domus on the 360, got my 1000 achievement points, and sent it packing back to GameFly. I've never watched the show, I have a feeling I won't like it, but that's probably just because I'm scared of being hooked on it. The ending of the game made me think a little bit, so I wanna find out how it relates to the show's universe in general.

Oh... and there was also Avatar. I feel dirty for even putting that thing in my 360. But, another 1000 points richer again, except with this game, if you don't know, it only takes about 2 minutes from when you put it in the tray to get ALL FIVE ACHIEVEMENTS! Yup. You stand in a corner and spam your air spell as the enemies of the first level swarm you. Get up to 50 hits, and voila, all the achievements. I understand this game was probably targeted at kids, but seriously... are kids really such big noobs? I get owned in Call of Duty and Halo by kids, I'm sure they can handle more than just a 50 hit combo. Could also be just a strange ploy to get sales.

>_>

Also, today, I barely have left my room. I used the facilities, grabbed a beer here and there [yum tsing tao!], and that was about it. I walked down to the mailbox to send away Lost and Avatar, also. I was GONNA clean my room up a bit, organize it, also go through pictures of the past year or so to decide which ones were gonna get printed, but, I didn't even do that. I started browsing Craigslist and DeviantArt and got completely sucked in. Also, I checked Facebook every few minutes. Woooo...

Then, Stan, my brother [sigh... he's a sad story for another time, or many other times] came home from work with a Naruto movie. I swore to myself at one point to never touch that show. But, as soon as he put it in, I didn't move from it really. I think playing Avatar for those two minutes made me lose all sense of nerd morals I had. Sadly, I also now have an interest in the show. Stan says to read the manga. Maybe I'll do that instead. Hmm...

Now my interest in the computer is finally waning for the day, so I think I'll move on to the bed.

So, uh. Signing off? I dunno. Good night internet.
