I still have this?

Wow, I guess I do.

At work now praying for the internet to stay with us. I feel sometimes there's a little red button we have to press once a month or the entire site takes a dump.

Just beat Call of Duty 6 and have to say i'm dissapointed with the second half of the campaign. I remember in Call Of Duty 4 the ending and feeling such a rush of satisfaction, and knowing that I had covered everything I was looking to cover.
This one was a total letdown. Don't get me wrong "no russian" was a great level. Tasteful.
It wasn't even offensive to me. seeing the US Burning to the ground was more offensive in my opinion.
The second half of the game was just such a downer and made me hope that the ending made me feel the same as the original, however as with all drugs, the second time is never as good as the first.
It's a rent. I know what you are thinking, "Angry Gus, what the hell, you are just an angry old man" Well, i'm angry but not at my age. I'm angry that they skimped on what could have been the best campain i've played since bad company and attempted to add onto a multiplayer experience ruined by 13 year old boys.
God it's frustrating. I sold it for a profit though, so at least that makes me feel better.

Cash for clunkers

I'm considering taking advantage of this. Anyone have any input for me?

I am almost done with Spiderman : Web of Shadows

I guess it should be brought to everyone's attention that I am a gamer. I am mostly on my xbox 360 and sometimes I'll dust off my PS3 to play a bluray movie.
Currently I borrowed Spiderman : Web of Shadows from a co-worker. I guess for the price I paid (free) it is an average game. It's so frustrating when you play a game only to be dissapointed with glitches. When I say "glitch" I don't mean the nifty superjump from Halo2, Oh no.... it's damn near unplayable at times (The Rhino level is a great example.) I had to restart my brand new 360 4 times in one sitting because it would either glitch out or freeze. Granted, when it wasn't freezing up and acting retarded, it was actually an enjoyable game. I do really like that there are 4 endings to the game, which does increase the replay factor. The story is classic and not too simplistic.
The controls are your standard button mashing scenerio.
It's a simple game that keeps me from going crazy.
After I master it (tonight) I'm going to be focusing my energy on Prince of Persia. I'm a cheap gamer. I origionally was the webmaster of lucidgamers. It was a game review site. It didn't work because of (3) reasons.
(1) No one was giving me free games to review, and that get's expensive quick
(2) My co-creator moved to florida, which makes it difficult to have meetings when he's a state away.
(3) I was hoping that it would pick up quicker than it did.
This blog is going to focus mainly on video games and may delve to some of my other favorites such as cars, movies, and music. We'll see how far it goes.

I guess it works.

I'm angry right now at ironport. Why must it block all of my favorite sites?
Seriously, it's not like I go to anything inappropriate. I just wanted to read up on the feed and joystiq. Is that a crime?

I'll update later. I didn't think I'd like to do this, but it's kind of like talking to myself, but without all the funny looks from people.
