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.
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.
Mythbusters 1 of 21. A new myth every day until April 5th. I couldn’t believe this when I saw it.
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 links from around WordPress.com and elsewhere:

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.
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.

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.
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.
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..
