Very good discussion midway through this video in regard to Tier 1 perks (debunking the myth that Ghost is overpowered) and the real possibility of a Mercenary Domination playlist in the future. That would be fucking awesome, because Dom is far and away my favorite playlist, and it'd be nice not to get destroyed when I'm playing by myself.
I have no idea. I saw it on an NGT vid... Dmix reminded me of something. What's your gaming setup? Sit on a couch? On the floor? Tv size? Surround sound? I myself play on a 37 inch tv with no surround sound. Rocking the headphones and sitting/laying on a beanbag. It's pretty sweet.
60 inch, surround sound sometimes, soft leather couch. I never enjoyed the beanbag kind of laid at an angle feel, we had a floor rocker chair that had the same feel too it for a while. At that angle it was like I could never fully concentrate. When shit started getting real Id always have to sit up. I basically have to sit up with full attention, I dont put my feet up on anything or sit sideways with my feet on the couch. I rarely, and thinking about probably have never, drank when I played games online. Getting sloppy and losing defeats the whole purpose of playing in my mind. On the other hand when I was playing with you guys regularly Id down 4 or 5 espressos during the coarse of the day. Im not really some maniac perfectionist player but I always had much more fun hopped up on coffee bustin the head shots. You got to be fucking KINDIN ME!
I play on a 50 inch TV with no surround sound and no headphones. While I have two couches in my living room, one of which is one of the comfiest couches ever, I can only play while sitting on a slightly-broken ottoman (broken by my punches when I get drunk and play shitty) about ten feet in front of the TV. I don't know why, but when I try playing while sitting on either couch I do terrible.
Pfft. I play on 27" standard def. Tryhards. Though I gotta say, Turtle Beach X11s are where it's at. Even with the terrible sound quality that Black Ops tries to peddle, it's still possible to soundwhore. Not as well as MW2 by any means, but it's still doable. It's well worth the $60 if you want to enhance your gaming experience, Black Ops or otherwise.
Total opposite for me. It's kind of like darts, pool, and bowling: up to a certain point, the more I drink, the better I get. There is a magic point however where one more drink will cause me to go from playing increasingly better to playing like complete ass. Total on/off switch. Climbing the booze hill without going over is one of the greatest challenges of games of skill (for me at least). For a gaming setup, I play on a 42" LCD and sit about 6-8' away on a nice couch. If I am playing solo I will output the sound either through the TV's speakers or a 2 channel stereo, but if it is late at night or if I am playing in a party I will throw on the Turtle Beach PX21s and go to town. Ah, the joys of shitty apartment living. Kind of random, but apparently Dmix3 is like Candyman...say his name three times and he appears. He hooked up with a few buddies and I last night, and we kicked ass in pretty much every game. Good shit.
This. Not to mention the more alcohol and other lovely things I ingest, the higher the likelihood of me becoming annoyed by guidos, douches, and children whose parents fail to provide them with the simple things in life like proper bedtimes, which leads me to pop off at the mouth and insult them. Which usually leads to them insulting me back, which sharpens my focus and pushes me to utterly destroy them and their team so I can laugh at them in the next lobby. Repeat ad infinitum until I hit the beer that sends me careening into Suckville, at which point my only comments will be one or all of the following: "That's bullshit!!" "I shot him in the fucking face!!!" "You laggy piece of shit!!" Then I'm only a cheap kill or two away from rage quitting and passing out.
I noticed that every time I'm doing well, I'm leaning forward, when I'm getting raped, I'm leaning back. It's really interesting. I have a 40' Samsung, 1080p HDTV, 7 1/2 feet away on a shitty futon. THX Certified Computer Speaker 2.1 system connected to my TV. I'll go surround sound when I move to a new apartment in July.
AHAHAHAHA!! You fucking HAVE to watch this! So hilarious. The kid loses his shit at times. The whole series is pretty funny, actually: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NudfUVkG4Lw&feature=BF&list=SL&index=1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NudfUVkG ... SL&index=1</a>.
1:26 - "I'll accept your friend request like, in after the game, okay? 'Cause I just, I can't accept it right now." "I didn't send you a friend request!" "Yeah, I'll accept it later, okay?" <a class="postlink" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyXikjWJYps&feature=BF&list=SL&index=3" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyXikjWJ ... SL&index=3</a> 30 seconds later: "Are you all there? Are you like this in real life?" "Real life? No, this is a game." "I mean, are you a bit slow?" "No, uh, I've got Lightweight on." This is the best thing I've seen in COD videos in a long, long time. "Yeah, but, I was just about to do that. And then--awwwwwww and now you see, that's just unfortunate."
This "he's on your teeeeam" kid has the makings of an Autotune video: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9KOTsGtj3Y&feature=BF&list=SL&index=4" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9KOTsGt ... SL&index=4</a>. Although if he talks that way in real life, I'd punch him in the fucking face. The "advice" the guy gives him afterward and the kid's subsequent reaction is fucking nuts.
Apparently this guy's a pretty legit player. This is his real account: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ey5VnU9K1iQ" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ey5VnU9K1iQ</a> His story behind the "How To Annoy People" series:
Pretty good. I lost it when he said: "Aww the predator killed both of us. You waved it in. If you would have just stayed still it wouldnt have saw us. It's vision is based on movements, like dinosaurs.
Wow, that was seriously fucking awesome. The first five minutes were great, but the last 90 seconds...I literally had tears streaming down my face from laughing so hard. When he trapped the British kid against the wall and started giving him instructions on how to hold the controller, all while the kid is bugging out, that was comic gold. His reactions, timing, and phrases were all perfect for the situation.
These guys are good. This was made a week before Black Ops came out so it's COD4, WaW, and MW2 gameplay.
Blame Truth talks M14 vs. FN FAL and has a few good suggestions to change air support and improve game connections, followed by a Host Migration fail.
I came across this old video of Blame Truth breaking his MW2 disc. He elaborates in the video description. I guess that's one way to go about it.
Jesus Christ do most people suck at Black Ops. I've been on a stoned COD binge the last couple of days and with Ghost Pro, Slight of Hand Pro, and Marathon Pro + Silenced Famas I dominate games single-handedly. Decided to showboat while playing with a buddy so we hopped into a CTF game at Firing Range and I went primarily for kills. A killing rampage, two chopper gunners and two gunships later I'm 85-4 (saved on fileshare). Even playing for the objective I got a gunship almost ten games in a row. I find it amusing that Treyarch really thinks they've made a difference from MW2. Top kill streaks are unbelievably easy to get in objective games and are badass. Plus, famas = UMP.
I can't figure out why I seem to have my best games right after I prestige, no matter which version of COD I play. It's like I know I have none of my usual tools to work with, so I set my expectations low and actually play carefully and patiently. Y'know, like you're supposed to. 25-4 on Summit with the MP5K class. It was also a new personal best for TDM kills. Once I get my 8-9-11 killstreaks and all of my Pro perks back, I'll revert to my typical 13-7 nonsense. Shit, I wish I could play stoned more often. If nothing else, it'd help me stop caring about the poor connections that have plagued this game and the last one. I think the problem is that Treyarch and IW have evolved this franchise into such a razor's-edge twitch shooter, that the slightest deficiency in connectivity can set back a legitimately good player, and conversely cause poor players to do better. It happens far more than it should, and it ultimately ruins the experience for me. There are many things in this game to worry about while playing; whether or not I'm playing on a suitable connection should never, ever be one of those things. The fact that they seem to be more concerned with new map packs than fixing the infrastructure of the game is sorely irresponsible, from a business perspective as well as an artistic one. Oh yeah: fuck Second Chance. That phrase will never not bear repeating. Excellent game, though. 85-4 on CTF is...well, kinda good.
On CTF? That's disgustingly good. Congrats man. In other news, I've grown tired of Black Ops.. So I decided to try Chaos mode in God of War III. Hades is such a fucking asshole. By the way, fastest way to rank up is by completing challenges. Use different perks, different guns, for a quick 5.000 exp do a bank shot with the tomahawk. Just find a camper and aim for the ground right in front of him.
