I think I have to agree with Damien. This is the best trailer for a conference ever!
It’s for The Dot Conf in Dublin on July 22nd. I won’t be going but there’s a great line up of speakers!

Bad Company 2 Squad Tactics
Colin featured the following video by Coyno on his channel yesterday and I think it’s worth posting here. Bad Company 2 squad tactics on Valparaiso.
I’ve only watched part 1 but I love how they distracted the enemy while someone else on their team got the plant on the one remaining crate. Having been on the receiving end of that type of attack I can tell you it’s highly effective!
More after the break ..

BlackLight Tango Down Review
The Red Dragon gives BlackLight Tango Down the thumbs up! Check out his review below, and a beginner’s guide. I have to try out the demo on XBL again!
Better learn to Fly!
This Penny Arcade cartoon may be about Battlefield 1943 but it applies equally well to Bad Company 2.
One time I took off with Mike in the back seat, and err, somehow landed upside down. Thankfully we both got out unscathed! 🙂

I’m glad David made his latest smoke post a few days ago. I’ve been running it more and more since and it helped on Valpairaso last night. We were defending (Hi Conor!) and pushed back to the third base, but we were fighting all the way.
The attackers seemed to have an abundance of wookies who liked nothing better than to lay up on the hill firing mortar strikes and shooting into the village. Along with a light tank they did devastating damage to the buildings there. My attention was mostly on the tank but when I cottoned on that wookies were busy I put down a load of smoke on their hill. I think I made them mad. Even their UAV came after me! My KDR was shocking but they never got the last crate. We successfully disarmed it a few times under cover of smoke!
Unfortunately for one of my squad, he left and I got killed by him a few minutes later! Should have stayed with the winning team!
Earlier I had a game with Mike, and we stopped the enemy at the first base on that map. I joined late but still managed to down a helicopter or two!
My KDR was briefly 0.83 before last night’s game but it’s dropped back to 0.82 again. My skill level nose dived by 192 points too! I guess I’ll be first into game and invite the rest of you, eh?
Oh! Run vehicle smoke before you get on the UAV! I knew it could fire smoke but didn’t realise it fires 3 smoke canisters that creates a huge cloud of smoke! I tried it on Isla but unfortunately not enough of our team took advantage of it.

Bad Company 2 attacking tips for Laguna Presa, Isla Inocentes and Arica Harbor.
I’ve had these tabs open in my browser for weeks. It’s about time I posted them. I’d love to get tips for playing rush on Atacama Desert! Anyone?

Hopefully you can watch this episode of The IT Crowd wherever you live. The Street Countdown bit is hilarious.

I got Bioshock 2 free when I bought Singularity in Gamestop this morning. Both are second hand and they’re running a “buy 1, get 1 (select) game free”. Bioshock 2 was on my Amazon wishlist so it was a good way of spending a 40 Euro voucher (plus €4.99 to make up the difference)
Now I just need to finish the original Bioshock ..

Rush on Atacama Desert is hard. Mike, Conor and I played 2 rounds on it last night. Once defending and the second attacking.
In the first game we were pushed back to the last base before we managed to defeat the opposition. The maps are so wide they were able to get through time and again and even though we had full teams on both sides I only managed about 4 kills.
The second game was worse. We were attacking and didn’t even take the first base!
We played other maps with varying degrees of success. It seems to me that BC2 multiplayer is getting harder and harder. Perhaps only the “hardcore” players are left as everyone else has gotten bored of playing the same old maps time and again? Thanks Graham for joining us earlier in the evening!
My KDR is still at 0.82, but probably only just. My skill level plummeted to 222, or 156 depending on which number you look at. My win/loss is 1.53.
Here’s Stonefacelock and co attacking on Atacam Desert. We weren’t quite as successful.
Games Inspired by Music
Boing Boing recently ran a games inspired by music competition and a few of the entries were posted yesterday. Almost all will run in your browser, some are flash, some HTML5, and some unfortunately require other plugins to run.
I’m downloading Sean Monahan’s game, Beat Boost (entry page) at the moment but there’s also Knife Attack, Flatwar, Space Junk, Arctic Trek, Gobber Assault, Bounty Hunter and Infiltration.
