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.

I decided to try a game of Bad Company 2 after work this evening and started the game with an assault class (XMP whatever-it’s-called assault rifle) as a defender on Nelson Bay. You know, the map set at night. I hate it.
Anyway, the attackers took Alpha so we hunkered down at Bravo fending off all attacks and won very quickly. I managed to kill 13 for 11 deaths. Wow. That was fast.
Next round we were attacking, on the same map. Practically as soon as I spawned my team had set a charge on Alpha and next thing I knew that bomb had detonated. Within minutes Bravo was gone too! I barely fired a shot, didn’t kill anyone and died 4 times. But the game lasted all of about 3-4 minutes. That’s unheard of!

Playstation Move, from the future by Kevin Butler.
It’s funny, and throws a few punches at the Wii and Natal but did you see the guy hunched over playing the FPS? If I had to do that for any length of time I’d be sending Sony the bills for my physio!
Oh, here’s a less than glowing review of the Playstation Move.
How did people react? There is a distinct lack of enthusiasm for the product, and people were talking about similarities to Nintendo titles and about the price of the product in hushed tones. There were jokes made about the look of the Move; many people compared it to a certain sexual toy. Others placed the glowing orbs on their crotch, to mimic testicles. In short, there wasn’t a lot of love for the Move at the launch.
Patrick's Day in Blarney
We were originally going to be walking in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Blarney but our son fell asleep a few minutes ago, and it wouldn’t be fair on him to drag him out unfortunately. We did visit the “farmers market” this morning however and I took a few photos. They’re really only snapshots but I hope you enjoy them, especially if you have visited Blarney.
This is probably the few times in the year that you’ll see this many locals near Blarney Castle! 😉

Mythbusters 1 of 21. A new myth every day until April 5th. I couldn’t believe this when I saw it.
No Russian
A much more dramatic version of the No Russian level from Modern Warfare 2. Edited by Michael Barnes from footage in that level and the ones before and after. Amazing work. (via the shut-in)
