Every OS Sucks
I’m sure I’ve heard this before but the video is new to me. Enjoy!
Odd that their C64 isn’t plugged in. The power cable went in at the side. The joystick ports are strangely blacked out too. Gosh, might it not be a real Commodore 64? (via)

BfBC2 with the PS3 Coffin Dodgers
Here’s a game I played with some of the guys from PS3 Coffin Dodgers on Friday evening. We had a few great games, and about halfway through this one Chris and Duck joined us so I hopped over to their squad. Great game, lots of fun.
As I asked in the video, what games in your collection have you not played? I haven’t played Bioshock 1 (except for a bit of the demo) and 2, only a tiny bit of Assassin’s Creed II, and even stopped playing the last Batman game when MW2 came out last year. I thought Dirt 2 looked superb but I tired of it within a short time. I ask this because I got 2 games for my birthday recently and have yet to even load them up. My wife kindly got me a voucher too, but I wonder what I should spend it on. You can’t buy “spare time” in the shops!
Don’t get me started on my collection of C64 and Amiga titles. I’ve probably played most of the C64 ones but I didn’t have an Amiga that long so I don’t even know what all the good ones are. Must fire up the emulators again some evening for a blast!

The other Sasben
This is what The Real Sasben sounds like.
And this is what that dirty imposter Sasben sounds like. Bah! How low will they stoop!
Bad Company 2 Vietnam Videos
Found on the EA forums where you’ll get to enjoy the usual PC owner blathering about consoles and first person shooters! There are a few more videos on that thread too but they’re all in the first post.
I wonder what they’d make of these tweets from Jay:

Ketchup
There’s a new restaurant in the location Bullys used to be on Paul Street. It’s Ketchup and we’ve just had delicious burgers there. Yum!
Bad Company 2 conquest last night for me…
Bad Company 2 conquest last night for me, and it was all on the old maps. I don’t know what happened to the map rotation but none of the new ones appeared.
I was playing with a few guys from Ps3 Coffin Dodgers first, then Chris, his friend and Conor joined our team so I squaded up with them. Niall joined us later and we blasted through the enemy like a hot knife through butter!
I had a particularly good time with the UMP and 4x scope. I tend to avoid that scope but because the maps are so big it was a boon. Got lots of great footage so expect some gameplay videos at some stage! 🙂
The Battle for Hastings
A fifth map has been anounced as part of the Vietnam expansion for Bad Company 2! Only thing is, we the players have to unlock it by performing 69 million team actions across all Bad Company 2 games after December 21st. I’m sure that won’t take long. See the trailer above for a sneak preview of the map!
Some of you might recognize the setting, as this is the classic Operation Hastings map made famous in our PC game Battlefield: Vietnam from 2004.
If you didn’t play it back then, it’s one of the favorites among our fans, featuring everything awesome in one fantastic arena: boats, helicopters, tanks, jeeps, temples, and the signature bridge dividing the map into two strategic areas.
Bad Company Map Pack 7 Tactics
A thread on Reddit has tips and tactics for playing the new maps in Map Pack 7. Some jokers there but good advice too!
Got tips?
