A Modern Warfare 2 super speed patch in the wild? Paul will be happy methinks. I never encountered one of those modded lobbies and hopefully won’t either. (via)

Nintendo 3DS, a 3D version of the Nintendo DS will be released sometime in the next year. Cool.
Nintendo Co., Ltd.(Minami-ward of Kyoto-city, President Satoru Iwata) will launch “Nintendo 3DS”(temp) during the fiscal year ending March 2011, on which games can be enjoyed with 3D effects without the need for any special glasses.
Now all they need to do is solve the awful piracy problems on the DS and publishers might actually support the platform. (via Engadget and @conoro)
A super secret mockup of the Nintendo 3DS has just been revealed! (via gamovr and Retroremakes)
Bad Company 2 night tonight with Eddie. …
Bad Company 2 night tonight with Eddie. We started off badly, really badly. The first 2 or 3 rounds of Rush we were annihilated so we went searching for a more evenly matched game. We found one and stuck with them for a bit, I was even doing quite well as a medic leading the scoreboard with 1630 points (lots of reviving) when suddenly my screen went black and I was on the main screen again!
I rejoined the game, but of course my score had reset, but thankfully I kept the red dot sight for the medic class. Phew. Shortly afterwards the sound died. All I could hear was mic sounds. No in-game sound at all! I had to turn off the machine and rejoin again. I have a vague memory of that happening before.
Oh, then the batteries in the controller went. I knew I should have charged them so I grabbed some from my camera flash. Not before dying though.
In our last game we held down Bravo well enough to win. About a half dozen of us roaming the building fighting off the enemy. Us medics were busy reviving and passing out heals.
I have to figure out if other people are in squads. There was only Eddie and myself in our squad which is limiting but I don’t want to go inviting other team members who might be in squads already.
It was frustrating at first, but we had fun by the end of the night. I really have to ring Microsoft tomorrow.
My stats from earlier in the night

Sasbenjr uploaded 2 excellent videos from Bad Company 2, rush on Arica Harbor. Great teamplay by him and his squad. I really have to try the recon class sometime.
I like the flash forward he uses. These games go on much longer than a Youtube video so little bits have to be snipped.

OMG. I played a blinder this evening. Paul and Eddie joined me in a few games of Modern Warfare 2 today. Here’s how it went:
- 15 0 4 Derail
- 15 0 7 Invasion
- 9 1 8 Skidrow
- 10 0 7 Derail
- 12 1 10 Sub base
- 10 0 10 Highrise
- 13 4 5 Junkyard
- 14 0 6 Skidrow
- 12 0 6 Rundown
- 7 4 6 Karachi
- 9 1 12 Favela
- 5 1 11 Estate
- 15 0 5 Karachi
Mostly played with my silent class: Silenced UMP with AA-12 (hardly ever used) and perks were Marathon Pro, Stopping Power Pro and Ninja Pro.
Even with my tactical layout I managed a few knife kills, including one of a very annoying sniper who did a lot of damage to my KDR! Now I’ve jinxed it of course so I’m not going to touch the Xbox tomorrow night. Maybe.
Unfortunately to put a downer on the evening when I took off my headphones I heard a loud buzzing from my Xbox 360. A quick search shows it could be the DVD drive but MW2 is installed to the harddisk. I may ring Microsoft tomorrow.
Update! Paul blogged about his games too. Glad he had a great time too!

Games in a nutshell has a guide to all the classes in Bad Company 2:
I’ve only read the assault one but I’m already wishing I had more weapons unlocked. I hardly have any attachments or the most basic weapons still.

Mini XBLA Games review:
Chime – it’s for charity, it’s a puzzle game where you have to create 3×3 or larger blocks from a randomly selected shape, think Tetris but the shapes are fully controllable and the shapes you create don’t disappear. I only played one game but it wasn’t altogether clear where to place blocks to full advantage. There is a good game hiding in there but even though a minimum of 60% of the purchase price goes to charity it’s probably not a game I’ll be buying. Great music though.
Polar Panic – you control a polar bear who has to shove blocks to kill the marauding trappers. Great game, cute graphics, and on easy mode it’s very accessible. Tempted to buy it as it’s fun and child friendly. One that my son enjoyed watching me play.
Unfortunately I only have 1240 points left and with the Modern Warfare 2 DLC on the 30th that may be my next purchase.
I had 10 minutes to play something earlier in the day and fired up Bad Company 2, single player for a blast. God, it’s so sedate compared to the multi player online play. I loved it!

Shot down some air support in Modern Warfare 2 this evening and earned an achievement of some sort the Fly Swatter achievement (thanks Dave). Highlight of the evening coz the rest of the games were utter rubbish!

Dropshots in Modern Warfare 2 are something I need to practice now that I’ve switched to the tactical layout. SeaNanners has a good time getting a nuke without kill streaks on highrise and uses the technique quite a bit.

I discovered a bug in Modern Warfare 2. It’s a harmless one thankfully.
The other night on Wasteland I shot an enemy who was about to throw a marker for a care package. Unfortunately for him the marker remained after he fell. It remained, floating in the air, right where he was when I shot him!
Anyway, the care package arrived and I stole it. Later I came back that way and saw the used marker still floating in mid air.
Didn’t play anything last night as it was a long day and I was exhausted. Hopefully this evening.
