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)

Some Modern Warfare 2 and Bad Company 2 …
Some Modern Warfare 2 and Bad Company 2 links from around WordPress.com and elsewhere:
- How to destroy a base with a UAV in Bad Company 2
- Gamer’s View blog
- Squad Deathmatch in Bad Company 2. 4 teams of 4 battle it out. The first to 50 kills wins. Haven’t tried it yet. Isn’t it odd that team deathmatch is listed at the top of the game modes in MW2 yet it’s objective games in BfBC2 that are prominent.
- Blog of Duty. I liked his smoke grenade post.
- New Found Addiction – just in case you’re addicted to Modern Warfare 2. Everything in moderation I say.

The most powerful Doom weapon ever! (via)

Ken Burton’s wonderful AA-12 adventure
Ken Burton has discovered the wonderful AA-12 automatic shotgun in his latest video. This is my secondary weapon on my main classes and I love it. Hope I can unlock that grip soon though as the recoil is something awful. Dead effective in a small room! Yes, you definitely need Scavenger to pick up more ammo.
I just added myself to the html5 beta on Youtube. Unfortunately videos with adverts will still use the old Flash player, and I suspect most of the ones I’ll watch there will be those.
8-bit Trip
Neat video showing off characters from the 8-bit era. C64 and Nintendo fans will recognise some favourites!
1500 hours of moving legobricks and take photos of them.

Scrubs: Ted and The Gooch – I Like You
Ted and The Gooch sing “I Like You”, a sweet song in episode 8, season 8 of Scrubs. There’s a longer version too. Love it.
Check out The Blank’s Website, “Ted’s Band”.
It’s Friday, perfect excuse for a lazy post.
The Boy Racer Song
Heard this mentioned on Ray Foley’s show on TodayFM so I had to go look for it. Mad stuff!
Christ with a K. performs “The Boy racer song” live in Cork, in the Slate bar. If you like funny songs and are from Cork you’ll like this!
And not one mention of today’s Budget.
The new Commodore 64 laptop
This isn’t the first time a Commodore 64 laptop has been made but it’s probably the coolest one. Commodore’s original SX 64 was built in 1984 and featured a tiny 5 inch CRT screen with a hardly portable body weighing in at 10kg!
I actually saw an SX 64 years ago in Cork Micro, the small computer shop run by the late Sean Bossang in Cork.
A couple of years ago there was the Picodore, a tiny little laptop built from the innards of a C64 DTV joystick. The keyboard’s a little small for my tastes though!
And finally, Benjamin has created a real, “normal sized” laptop from the motherboard of a C64C, the final version of the C64 built by Commodore.
It uses the original keyboard too, and “1541-III DTV” to emulate the original 1541 disk drive. This device takes FAT32 formatted SD cards so you can copy D64 images from your PC on to it, insert the card in the laptop and load them immediately. Judging by the movie below, he needs an Action Replay cartridge or something to speed up loading. The emulated drive emulates the slow loading of the original drive too well methinks.
Nice to see Thunderblade make an appearance. I’m sure I have the original C64 tape of that game around here somewhere..

Kylie Minogue does Monkey Man
Well, this was a nice start to the day. Yesterday morning I heard a catchy tune coming from the living room so I popped my head in to see Kylie singing with “The Wiggles” on NickJr. They covered Monkey Man by The Specials and I have to take my hat off to Miss Minogue. Wow.
The song is full of energy, it’s happy, it’s got that “get up and go” feel. My foot was tapping as I listened. Who knew Kylie Minogue could do Ska? Dare I say it, but she does a better job of it than The Specials?
Crash Different
An oldie, but as they say, “a goody”. For all the Mac fans who are sick and tired of their computers crashing. (Hey Mark!)
Found this on a CD while sorting through my CDRs and music collection. Most are now ripped to MP3 and the physical media is heading into the attic for safe storage.
Why is it that most of my compilation CDs are from about 10 years ago? Does music become less relevant the older you get? I’ve never bought music online but if I do, Blue Lights on the Runway by Bell X1 will probably be the first album I buy. Love “The Great Defector”, their current single.
PRESS PLAY ON TAPE: Retro Action
Get your dose of retro action in this video! The Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC 464, 1541 disk drive, Sony Walkman, D&D, Sodastream and various other memories of the 80’s all make an appearance. Might not be safe for work though. You’ve been warned! 🙂
An introduction video used for a couple of our concerts as a kick starter. A tribute to C64 and the 80s – and Benni Benassi’s “Satisfaction”
