Note to self: when one’s team gets slaughtered in a game of Call of Duty Black Ops TDM, BACK OUT OF THE LOBBY. Just because it’s a new game doesn’t mean the other team will suddenly grow old and their God-like reactions will suddenly disappear.
Still, I went positive in one game on Radiation and that was fun. Thank Duck, Conor, Nick and Mike for playing!
Xbox Kinect was shown off earlier today at a local shopping center. Quite a bit of interest, I was impressed but not impressed enough to buy it!
Duck and myself joined a game of Bad Company 2 rush on Arica Harbor only to lose the first base after a few short moments. Watch as I play havoc with the enemy tanks and get revenge! 🙂
Watch me get killed over and and over, and occasionally kill enemy players in this game of Bad C Call of Duty Bad Company Black Ops. I’m so used to playing Bad Company it’s second nature to write it!
Anyway, this was my 3rd game of Black Ops. In my very first game I managed 1 kill and died several times, second game on Havana was a blast and I did a bit better, and here I did ok, not brilliantly, but ok.
In a recent video Colin bemoaned the fact that he was getting a low 2+ KDR in the game and I wonder what good games are like for him! When I go positive I break out the Champagne!
Thanks Mike for playing, and wish I’d known that was really you in the earlier combat training game!
Next video will be Bad Company 2, and I have lots more footage and great clips to post from that!
Well, two rubbish games of rush on Isla, and one decent game of Conquest where we slaughtered the opposition. Good night of gaming! 🙂
Next time I’m playing I’m heading to Atacama Desert. I totally forgot about Nick’s video describing a very successful strategy for piloting the Hind on that level. Hopefully I do better than the last time where I flipped it within seconds of taking off. Yes, yes, I have it recorded. So does Duck. Oops.
Black Ops will probably arrive tomorrow so may fire that up in the evening for a game or two. I can’t believe it sold even more than Modern Warfare 2 on it’s first day. Activision are just raking in the money with that franchise, no matter who develops it.
This is how Nick discourages C4/UAV bombing of the MCOM stations!
I’ve got a funny UAV clip to upload, one with Duck in it. You guys will enjoy it. Pity the team chat wasn’t recorded though as it was hilarious! 🙂
For Halloween DICE should have modified the Bad Company 2 killcam so the enemy player had a huge evil grin on his face. Maybe next year. DICE! Are you listening? These are the important things!
That thought occurred to me as I watched a game from the other night where I got a shed load of points for AT mine tank kills. I was grinning from ear to ear in reality! 🙂
While everyone else is playing Black Ops (seriously, 7 friends online and they’re all playing it!) myself and Duck had some kick ass games of Bad Company 2. We didn’t always win, but some hard fought games were had. I’m sure I have some some good clips to dig through over the next few days! 🙂
Yes, I am getting Black Ops, on PS3. It’ll arrive in the next day or so I expect, but what am I really excited about? The new Bad Company 2 map pack and Vietnam Expansion.
The video recording software I use, HDPVRCapture has been updated, and while the homepage hasn’t been updated I was most excited about “Added support for infinite recording time” that appeared in the changelog. I presumed it was like a FIFO buffer but there’s no sign of that or documentation describing it so who knows?
I know a good few dads (and maybe one or two moms) read this blog, and they play video games after their offspring has gone to bed so I thought this Penny Arcade article would be of interest.
The cartoon that goes with it is a blast too, and rings a bell with me as I’ve watched my son play through yet another level of Little Big Planet (although to be fair, he plays it in the evening when it’s too cold or dark to go out anyway).
I wonder if he’d enjoy Minecraft. Building worlds and blowing up worlds would appeal to him I’m sure. He already wants to to get an electronics kit he spotted in Maplins. A kit that he’s a bit too young for, but the little boy in me wants to get it for him too, just so I can play with resisters, capacitors and diodes again. 🙂
