Nice shootin' Tex...

Finished my latest montage video this weekend and it began as an homage to snipers but expanded somewhat to include any "nice shots" from movies. Turned out pretty good, at least I'm happy with it and Lauri enjoyed it more now that I took out all of the 'pink mist' headshots. That turned it from an "R" - rating to now more of a PG-13. Not that she minds the gore but it was a little intense.

Boomsticker - Zombie Hunter

I think I have figured it out now - as long as I play CODWAW Zombie mode I enjoy the game much more than in the regular multiplayer because in Zombie mode all four players are on the same side operating as a squad - the AI is the enemy. My wife can't seem to understand why anyone would even play Zombie mode because there isn't an end goal other than survival until the next round.  I tried to explain that was the only reason to play was to simply survive it didn't seem to be enough.

Call of Duty World at War

Why do I play this game at all? I am so terrible at it yet cannot seem to stay away for very long. It reminds me daily of what my current physical condition has sunk to but for some strange stupid reason I come back again and again to desperately attempt to rank up. The previous version of the game (Call of Duty 4 Modern Combat) was tough in its own way but there were times when I could compete but when they went back to the WW2 weaponry I have just lost it.

New maps were released yesterday and I still am looking for my first successful game on any of the three. Even the new zombie map has frozen my out twice now - although both times the problem was hardware, not humanware.

Welcome to the land of the "Free"

Yep, I am now using a free blog to replace "Jameys-Brain", my previous website. Couldn't afford the $10 a month to have it hosted with a unique domain name. Oh well...

SIMPLE PLEASURE OF THE DAY:
You get one of those interesting catalogs in the mail (you know which ones I am talking about - lot's of funny t-shirts and movie memorabilia) and half way through it you realize that two pages have stuck together. You manage to pry them apart and there is a page full of more cool stuff you will never buy but you might have missed! Maybe it is just me then ...

Stay tuned for more rambling from the Man Cave in SC.
