Microsoft, this video of Natal Natal does not convince me to buy your new upgrade. After an exhausting I will not be jumping up and down, swaying side to side in the living room.
Check out the comments on that post, many more funny cynical responses.
Oh, Natal is now called Kinect, not Kinetic. After seeing a dozen headlines with the new name I still searched Youtube for “kinetic” and wondered where all the coverage was. I wonder if that’ll be a marketing problem?
Mike, Muse and myself came across our first boosting team in Bad Company 2 tonight (err last night, it’s after midnight.)
It was on Arica Harbour and we were decimating the other team. They got nowhere near us before we killed their vehicles or shot them down but a few players still managed to get 2500 points and more on the first stage. A few did get through eventually and took both crates. Most of our team were too far forward, but Mike and I did rush back but they got Alpha just as we got them.
That may explain why someone got -1660 points in the previous round. Wish I’d taken a snapshot of that..
Good games again finally (last few days have been atrocious!), my KDR went up to 0.79 (1.62 for tonight: 73/45), I got my 5th gold star on the AN-94, my first “7 kills with a sniper” pin, unlocked the 12x recon zoom and I’m level 25 now.
On Isla I took Alpha with the help of copious amounts of smoke, and then defending Mike positioned himself on a far off island, tagged the helicopters before they launched and each heli was taken down by up to 3 rockets! I got a nice double kill when a medic sneaked into Bravo. I had my gun on him and just as I fired another medic spawned on him! Got a nice double kill!
While at Bravo again an engineer got in, I emptied my clip in his direction and he did the same doing some serious damage to me but we were both out of ammo and right next to each other! I flicked to secondary and started to reload my tracer gun and with red blood all over my screen we danced around and around until I managed to knife him. Thanks klaustaler for the gold dog tags. Hell of a fight!
I think we beat them in that round on the first base! Amazing stuff.
Thanks Mike, Ian. Needed those good games after the really bad few games of the last few nights.
Duncan of Blairs Inn was giving out free samples of their delicious beef stew along with samples from other local restaurants at the festival in Blarney today.
Delicious stuff, and Blairs Inn is a great place to go for a meal too. Only been there once but we had a great meal there. Recommended.
Chances are, if the only videos you upload to Youtube are Modern Warfare 2 videos I have or will unsubscribe from your channel. Sorry, but I never watch them any more.
Removing myself from Machinima alone has made a huge difference to my subscription page!
I fired up the PS3 last night to check if anyone was online. Bigpresh (Dave) was there and redd_dragons but I joined Dave in his session. He was playing conquest and I spawned on him, next to an empty tank. After my previous games with a shotgun I wanted to try out the NS2000 on assault. Anyway, an enemy hopped in the tank, but of course I had C4 so moments after spawning I got a tank and enemy kill!
I didn’t last too much longer though and we all left shortly after for a game of rush.
Unfortunately I don’t think we won any game of rush. I didn’t do too well with the NS2000 though I did get one or two one-shot-kills with it. I also got my revenge on a sniper by counter-sniping him with an M24 and a measly 4x scope. I eventually switched back to the almighty AN-94 and ended the game on 22 kills for 12 deaths, a KDR of 1.83. 23 kills with the AN-94! I got numerous pins including best player with a score of 2500 and my KDR is slowly going in the right direction, despite my experimenting with shotguns. It’s now 0.78. Win/Loss ratio is heading down though, at 1.44.
The other team were all over us. We were down to 6 players at one time, and the other team had about 9, though it ended with 8 vs 9 in the end. I’m slightly worried about the lack of players. It was getting late, about 10:30pm when I started playing, but there was a lot more online activity even a week or two ago.
Maybe EA/Dice are getting desperate for players?
Oh, I played the previous night with Mike, but I played so badly I just want to forget those games ever happened. Mike played a blinder though, over 5,000 points in one game. He was at the top of the leaderboard and I was at the bottom. *sob*
He’d fffllllllyyyyyyyyyyy over their heads and land behind them. Great clips from Bad Company 2 games where they catapulted players on quad bikes over the defenders in their bases.
This post on the Battlefield Blog reveals the cost of the Onslaught mode (around $10/€9) but also mentions they’ll be selling BC2 kits.
Avoid the drudgery of unlocking weapons! Just give EA some of your (or your parent’s) hard earned cash!

Next thing the Chinese gold farmers from WOW will descend on console games and do all the hard work of leveling up for us! more on reddit
Later! The Red Dragon has a good commentary on the new map mode pack and shares a good idea about what to do with the extra revenue from those who buy the "shortcuts".
Wow, I’m impressed. AEG Soft have modified the original C64 version of Microprose Soccer and updated it. It now has the teams that will appear in this year’s World Cup in South Africa!
My brothers loved this game back in the day, and I played it a small bit too. If I was a football fan I’d probably boot up Vice to play it too. Anyone going to try it?
Well, smoke grenades mostly, resorting to knife and gunfire when required. Mad stuff from CryHavocWarfare.
Phoar! 12/8 in a game of squad deathmatch on Laguna Presa! I jumped into a game of SDM to practise with the Saiga 20k and had a pretty good game. Sure, I died 8 times but I did get 12 kills, the most on my team!
If you’re interested, I used the Saiga mostly with body armour because of this review by Swordsmanx75. I also used the M93R handgun which is very handy when you’ve taken 90% of an enemy’s health with the shotgun!
C4 on this map is very useful. At the beginning of the match I spawned next to an enemy tank and spent 10 seconds running after it, through open water with C4 in my hand. Luckily he stopped by a barricade, slap on 3 sticks, run and BOOM!
I almost got the last kill too, my knife was in mid air when the game ended. Boohoo!
I don’t think using the Saiga on this level is that popular however, this is the only gameplay video I could find on Youtube. Video quality isn’t great but I love the commentary!
