E.T. phone home...or chugs nuts?

 

Movies Into Games=My Head Into a Microwave, My Beef with Basketball Games, Call of Duty Lag and the Like.

            Hey everybody, long time no see, hugs and kisses and all of the usual greetings that we all know and love.  So I’ve just returned from a long and relaxing trip and have also finished de-tox to cleanse my body of all the delightful poisons that I consumed.  Over this break I didn’t play any games at all and thusly forgot all of those little things I hate about them.  Since I’ve been reintroduced to my loves I have had to learn to live with all of these annoying twirks once again….shall I bitch?  Yes? No?  OK here it goes.

News: Activision vs. Ex Infinity Ward Execs: The Battle Goes Legal

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

The two Infinity Ward Executives that were fired by Activision are now suing for wrongful termination and breach of contract. Jason West and Vince Zampella were fired for insubordination on Monday and are now suing for an estimated $36 million for owed royalties for Modern Warfare 2 that they feel Activision is trying to avoid paying. Activision has only claimed that they are “disappointed” that a lawsuit was filed and that they have fostered Infinity Ward’s development with “the resources, financial support, and creative independence” that allowed them the success they have.

Call of Weedy-

Sorry I’m a day late my gamer friends…I’ve been a bit busy lately.

So I’ve been playing Call of Duty lately and I’ve got a bone to pick with the developers.  It seems like half of the people that I play with now have something on their character that has to do with marijuana.  What the hell is this for?  What is this teaching kids?  Weed is cool?  You get a pot leaf as an achievement?  Come on now Infinity Ward.  This shit is not right.

Colorblind Ping in “Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2″

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

 See the boat in this picture?   I sure as hell don’t….just a shit ton of dots.

“Red? Green? Good guy? Bad guy…? — DAMNIT!!!”

Infinity Ward’s newest release in their extremely popular Call of Duty series, “Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 2” has some gamers, especially me, up in arms over the color of the nameplates in team matches.  An estimated one in 12 men has some form of inherited color blindness with red/green being the most common.  Can you take a stab at what the color of the team nameplates are in the game?  Red and green….Fail.  I cannot tell you how many times I have been ROFLstomped just because I didn’t know if that guy over there with the shotgun was on my team or not.  Just think, eight percent of all male Call of Duty players go through the same punishment every single game.  Good job IW.
