    Yes the players are morons who need to be castrated. We know.

    BLOPs doesn't look that bad to me, infact I quite like it but I can see it being just as raging as MW2.


    It's not gonna stop me from buying it.

    Like I told Groltag, Lazy, and Tuba while we were playing earlier, BLOPS just seems to be screaming for abuse.

    Exploding RC cars? Knives with shootable/detachable blades? Full-auto FAMAS?

    All of that just screams bad idea.

    The 1911 is in the game. Therefore, it is effectively the only weapon worth using.

    I do, I've just been really busy over the past few weeks.

    And maybe they've changed the FAMAS stats, I certainly hope so.

    Granted, I actually like the RC bombs.

    The other stuff I can kinda see, but full-auto FAMAS is an issue? How would that be different than any of the other full-auto laser beams in MW2?

    Speaking of which, more videos from our gameplay. I figure it'd be fun to keep a record of how we're doing. These aren't the "best gameplays, " but rather just fun matches which show how well we roll... If you want me to stop, just say so.

    One thing that makes me wonder though:

    Just HOW did he know to look behind himself at that exact moment? Holi is clearly running ninja as a perk.

    Might've just been checking his back, or as he's getting up the stairs and turning to face the bomb caught Holi in the corner of his screen.

    [ed] Yeah, looks like he's turning early to come up the stairs facing the right way and catches Holi then.

    Holi, is your capture card using the component (rgb+audio) cables? I kinda want to try some recording for the hell of it, but I want to use HDMI. From my understanding the HDMI recording+passthrough should work because the 360 doesn't require HDCP on gameplay, but I'm not sure on that.

    Ninja only reduces your footsteps to 25% of their original volume. I can hear people with Ninja moving if nobody is firing or talking, and it only becomes easier with a headset or decent stereo.

    You want the blackmagic intensity pro. I upgraded to that because the Avermedia PVR didn't work. The capture software that comes with the AVer card sucks, so you have to fraps the output.

    The BMIP has a passthrough, but you need a pci-express slot to use it.

    Things I've learned trying to record:
    Window's Movie maker is ok.
    Your xbox knows what kind of tv/monitor you're using, so you can't output hdmi and dvi (for like a computer screen) at the same time. Only one of the images will work. This was my biggest problem, and I ended up buying a new 23 inch widescreen monitor simply because it had an hdmi input.

    Willeth is a baby that doesn't like music. I'm not ready to do commentaries yet. I'm just dicking around with music. I'll upload the next few without an intro or music, just for willeth.

    If I'm watching an MW2 video it's because I want to watch MW2, not forty seconds of 'look what I can do with Movie Maker'. It's also far more helpful to actually see how you're playing if I can hear the audio cues from the environment that you're responding to and the team callouts rather than the music.

    Also Mercy saying he sucks.

    Foot steps are silent unless in grass, weapon changes and reloads are still normal. And any lunge that misses can be heard too.

    The FAMAS is more of a personal thing; I despise it in MW2, and the thought of making the thing a fully automatic weapon in BLOPS repulses me to my very core.

    I very much doubt the famas in MW2 is the same as the famas in blops. Now, I didn't say OMG when the trailer came out, but it did get me very, very excited. My hate for specific video games is always transient. I'm going to love blops for the first couple weeks, just like I loved MW2. Do you remember your first Chopper Gunner, or AC 130?

    How about the very first predator missle? Wasn't that cool!

    Does anyone remember how awesome it was to rape some dogs?

    Guacamole is some good stuff, but I give that win to the Haas Avacado. From California. Booyah. Biscuits and gravy are awesome, you just gotta know how to put that cream gravy together. Pepper's key, as is breakfast sausage with some fat, but lacking gristle and other nasty bits.

    Our freedoms? In Texas? Pffft, up until lately they had sodomy outlawed. Hell, they might still actually. You know what sodomy covers in addition to buttsecks? Blowjobs. Texans don't want us to have blowjobs. I'm not down with that kind of freedom-hating.

    I kinda split my time between Coke and Dr. Pepper, but don't judge me!

    My food loyalties are split: I grew up in the southwest (TX/NM) but moved up north (AK/ID) after college and have stayed up here since. My family is still in the south and will occasionally make fun of me for drinking "soda" rather than "coke."

    The rest of your list (other than wealth) sounds like an early death due to congestive heart failure.
    Let's just agree that we're on the same side and continue to shoot mans with our Bling'd Thermal/FMJ mini-Uzis :)
