Modern Warfare 2

Okay, so i've been playing alot of this game lately. Somehow the entire online aspect of the game is full of a bunch of kids. It doesn't matter what game type you go into, its a bunch of kids. I play alot of domination and i can't get over the kids i find in these games. The objective in domination for those of you who don't already know is to take control over 3 points on the map. Usually you want to grab 2 of the points and kill people off as they rush in to take them back. Well what ticks me off about this is every match i get into there are always at least 4 or 5 people who do nothing but run around like idiots trying to kill the other team. Now, i wouldn't have to much of a problem with it if that was the objective or at least if there wasn't already a game type to do just that. If you want to run around the map with duel akimbo rangers then do it on team deathmatch or free for all. Don't play an objective style game and completely ignore the objective.

It also seems that i'm the only person playing the damn game to have a good time anymore. I was in a match of domination last night on wasteland. The match started, me and another guy ran and was taking the first point near us. Out of no where we are noob tubed by someone, watch the killcam and its just someone standing at their spawn point and blasting grenades across the map. When you find yourself figuring out the exact angle to do this, just shoot yourself. I don't understand how someone can kill someone with a grenade launcher or a rocket launcher from across the map and have any fun with it what so ever. By all means use them if they are called for but standing in one location hitting R2 through out half the match takes no skill at all. If thats all that it takes to keep you entertained just hold your controller and tap the button over and over again without turning on your tv.

Also, just because my gamertag has the word "kitten" in it, doesn't mean i'm a chick.

((Sorry i went so long between posts, I was to busy playing MW2 lol))

Game reviews

From time to time I will probably throw in a few game reviews of my own. I'm a gamer and i'm sure most of the people who read my blog are as well. However, I'm a gamer from from back when games were actually about something. I can not stand these games that keep coming out that are essentially the same damn game. A great example of this is COD and Halo. Now I admit that both are fun (Im assuming Halo is fun, i refuse to play it) But, at what point do we ask for some originality. How many games have you played that go something like this.

Move forward.
See enemies, be it aliens, monsters or a humans.
Shoot at said enemies with some kind projectile flinging apparatus.
Kill two or three of them.
Crotch behind 3 foot wall.
Wait for a minute or two while you miraculously self regenerate.
Pop back up.
Kill remaining enemies.
Mover forward
Repeat.



The only review of video games i take seriously come from Zero Punctuation. If you haven't already seen his videos do so, you won't be disappointed.

The little things

After 3 days of little to no sleep i finally passed out on our love seat around 1pm yesterday, i just woke up. Thats 12 hours of hard sleep curled up into a small ball. I'm a little over 6 foot tall and our love seat can't be more then 4 foot long. Still I somehow managed to stay on it all night long with a small blanket. I woke up with a headache and immediately thought "oh no Megan wanted to go shopping and i slept all day!" (Megan is my girlfriend for those who don't know me in person) I went into the kitchen and looked to see if she had gone without me, seemed as though she didn't. Well anyone who knows me knows I drink coke like a fiend. I know its awful for me and i don't really mind. I think in a world full of things that can harm you coke has to be on the lower end of thing. Anyway, I open the fridge and what do i see? A brand new 2 liter of coke sitting there just for me! Oh My God, I have been drinking my GFs diet crap from a few days because we hadn't gone shopping and to finally have delicious coke again is wonderful. Yes, i know it takes little to nothing to make me happy, but you have to enjoy the little things. Its a rule... look it up... Do it, right now i'll wait. It's rule #32... See?

Currently listening to this.

Disappointment

Why is it that were ever i go i always run into at least one person who would best be described as filth. I'm not talking about the average cashier at wal-mart who hates his job and doesn't seem ecstatic to see you. I'm talking about the person just in front of you while you wait to be checked out. You stand there pretending not to listen to their conversation, but you and i both know your listening to them anyway. Not that it could be helped, these kind of people seem to project everything they say and do as if to display it for everyone in hopes of getting a small amount of attention. Once they finally get up to the counter to pay they pull out 100 coupons 90% of which are out dated and you stand there listening to them argue with the cashier. Or even better they pull out a food stamp card and slide it through the machine the wrong way, then argue with the cashier about how they know they did it correct the first time and that it just isn't working.

I had a run in with one of these people at work a few months back. Even now thinking about it fills me with disgust. Let me set the mood for you. I'm working at walmart all day, busting my ass for crap pay and managers who think im are their personal slave. About 2 hours before i get to go home this HUGE woman waddles in with her friend who is pretty large herself. As soon as i see that they are standing near the electric scooter i know its going to be a problem. As you all know wal-mart attracts obese people the same way crap attracts flies. Well because of this we never have enough electric scooters to go around. At this point in time there was one left, broken with a sign hanging on it saying not to use it. This huge women sits in it and tries to get it to move. Of course it goes no where, hence the sign. I just happen to be walking past her when she does this, she looks up at me and say "Can you please go check to see if there are any more of these that work! I cant walk around the store!" I tell her i just came from were we keep the other scooters and that there weren't any there, but i would go back and check again just for her. She doesn't say thank you or even acknowledge the fact that im a human being. She just says "Ok, hurry because i don't have alot of time." I go back the way i just came which is about a 3 minute walk at most. I look to see if there are any scooters and of course there are none, i stop and ask the door greater if she knows if there are any working ones not being used and she says no. I start to head back, dreading telling this women she will actually have to use her legs. I get about half way there and the women that came in with her stops me and says "Are you even looking for a scooter!?" I tell her i checked and that there weren't any. The women goes into a fit and storms off toward her friend she is still sitting in the broken scooter. Flustered i stand in awe at the fact this women is mad at me because they are to lazy to walk and head back the way i was going to begin with, thinking the matter is close. Just as i'm about to pass the two women the huge one calls out to me and tells me to go up and down the isle to find someone who doesn't need the scooter and ask them to give it up. Of course there is no way i can do this and i tell her so. The women freaks out and starts yelling about how awful customer service is and that wal-mart isn't accommodating enough for handy cap. At this point i get tired of dealing with her and tell her she either has to wait or she can go to another store and see it they have any scooters available. The women screams "Fine i will!" grabs a push cart and uses it to waddle out to her car. As she is doing this i'm thinking she is the worst excuse for a person i have ever met.

Its people like that, that cause me to lose faith in people as a whole.

Yet another all nighter

It's 7:05am and im laying on my living room floor wondering about making sort of website. I don't know a whole not about designing them but im pretty sure i can do it. What i'm having a problem with is the content of the website. I'm stumped, does anyone have any suggestions?




(Random thought)
Why is it that no matter what i have in the house i always end up eating ramen? Ramen has to be the best thing anyone has ever come up with. Its cheap, its quick and it taste like.... well... ramen.

Another sleepless night

Yet again i've stayed up all night, i don't really know why. Its odd how doing nothing at all can eat up so much of my time. Sitting here being to tired to do anything and to tired to sleep.

On a random thought.. Why isn't there anything good on tv after like 2 or 3 am. Sure there are a couple shows that get you through the night, but wtf. 90% of whats on is just infomercials and frankly if you buy any of that crap your just stupid. I'm not saying that I've never been tempted to buy the magical shamwow that can absorb an entire swimming pool's worth of spilled spaghettios. Now if you think about that of course your first thought is going to be "swimming pool full of spaghettios!? Awesome" But you have to think about how much of a pain it will be to open all those cans. Sure you have a nifty electric can opener, but does it ever work the way you want it to? No, you always end up standing there at the counter for a good 4 minutes trying to get the can to catch just right on that little turning nob. Once it does finally catch does it stay on!? Of course not! It goes around half way and falls off. In the end you crawl back to good old faithful you have in the back of your silver wear drawer..... Only to find out the handle sticks every time you try to turn the damn thing.

People all i'm saying is this. Late at night when your all alone with nothing but the soft glow of your tv and the creepy yet somewhat appealing shamwow guy.... Think about the spaghettios.

My First post in my first blog.

Well i have thought about starting a blog for awhile now. Just something to voice my opinions and maybe get some feedback on my everyday thoughts.

Allow me to introduce myself,
My name is Tommy.
I'm 22 years old, soon to be 23.
I believe I'm your average guy.
I dropped out of school for lack of interest.
Went back to school a few years later and finished.
I live with my girlfriend in a small one bedroom apartment.
I don't make very much a year at all.
I could probably get some sort of help from the goverment, but i refuse to because I think I should stand on my own 2 feet.

In this blog i will be writing about whatever comes to mind that day. It might be a rant on politics or religion, anything is possible. For the most part my mind set is that we all need to stand up and let our voices be heard.  We need to learn and better ourselves as much as we can. Not just for ourselves, but for a better future for everyone. So that history doesn't keep repeating its self over and over again.
