Why is Call Of Duty 4 so great, part two.

"fifty thousand people used to live here..."

Why is CoD4 so great? because it delivers entertainment, that is what the word game stands for, and not only entertainment, if i compare it to let`s say $150 milion dollars budget movies Call Of Duty was so much better, more than entertainment, i was surprised and i am surprised to say this but it`s quite emotional, this was tried before but now you really get attached to your NPC fellow comrades and (spoiler) watch their hopes shattered right at he end *Boom* by the war they ended, the world they saved and only for them to know that.
(/spoiler)
I have to be honest, after i played Half Life Episode Two i said that nothing will please me more this year but here i am, Call of Duty is a game that has everything, it`s not senseless shooting, it`s deep, it`s tactical, it`s stealth even, it`s modern and good surprisingly good story not to mention amazing graphics.
People complained about the fact that the game is short, about 6 hours long, in my opinion, that`s the best thing, this is the way gaming should head. And maybe i can be bought with good graphics and amazing effects, but my heart beating faster and faster can`t be wrong.

Call Of Duty 4 feels like you are there

The official box art for Call Of Duty is anything but purple but trust me, this is as cute and cuddle as CoD4 gets, inside that box lies one of the most dramatic and shocking games i ever played.

Allow me to explain, you don`t even have time to say FUCK, the first 15 minutes are extremely intense, a fast paced blitz fight on an huge transport ship, with dramatic ending and extremely well done visuals, voice acting and directing so to say, it`s one of the most unbelievable scenes in a game, ever, i`m not over hyped i`m serious.

The very next scene you just happen to wake up being carried to a vehicle by some sort of extremists, transported to some sort of plaza where you can hear your heartbeat, silence then held at gun point and shot with a bulled that you can actually feel, only to find that you were an important leader, fucking well done! Good gfx optimisation, beautiful dramatic score, voice acting and cinematic experience, the only downside i could notice is that sometimes the great level design and overall graphics make you stop and admire the game fact that could get you killed.

Open Handset Alliance, Android and SciFi

I had no idea what to write about so i thought i should write about Gphone as they called it, but to be honest there isn`t really anything to talk about, the Gphone may be just a simple phone while the focus of Google is on the Open Handset Alliance and Android.

The Android is an Open Source mobile platform, they say it`s the first fully Open Source, but whatever, Google`s information for this project gives me fucking headaches, i had to browse the web for a about an hour to find stuff i already knew about it, maybe i`m overreacting, maybe something, i don`t know but it just feels like the "Gphone" with it`s Android are just the toys of a select few, the same who are working on it. The concept is mind blowing if you think how they want you to think but how will this revolutionise so much if the whole thing is so blurry.
My point is, i know what it is, you know, most Internet users do, but average people don`t even have a clue what Open Source means and i think that`s a problem in some way.

SouthPark "Guitar Queer-o"

Now that the Imaginationland episodes have come to an end it`s time for new hilarious SouthPark episodes, with two more this season this new one seems rather very interesting.
As everybody knows Guitar Hero is a very popular game for people who like to play guitar by pressing a bunch of buttons instead of the good old fashion finger fretting and picking or strumming strings. So anyhow in this all new SouthPark episode Stan and Kyle get hooked up on Guitar Hero but it seems that Stan`s incredible "guitar" skills are no match for Kyle`s, fact that could jeopardise their friendship. Don`t know if this one will be better than "Make Love Not Warcraft" but definitely worth watching for a nice laugh.

Lucy, The Daughter of The Devil

.:La Figlia Del Diavolo:.

"Lucy, The Daughter of the Devil" is a 3D animated TV show part of Adult Swim on Cartoon Network about the daughter of the devil. She is 21, lives in San Francisco and always criticized about her weight, and of course, she must fulfill her destiny as the Antichrist to make her dad, Satan, proud.

Too bad though the number one enemy of Satan who was supposed to be dead rises as the local DJ Jesus (pronounced Hesús) and Lucy develops a crush on him, to Satan`s dismay. The adventures that Lucy, Satan, Becky The Devil`s advocate, and Jesus go trough will surely make you say this show is fucked up in a funny way.

So the Vatican couldn't just watch and on the trail of the
Antichrist they send a team of "action-heroes" called The Special Fathers and The homicidal Special Sister. With animation reminding of the sitcom game Grim Fandango, Satan with lame sweaters, Jesus with rising DJing fame and Lucy the non-conformist average-American girl will surely get you hooked up on this one.

NFS: Pro Street Demo Impressions

As they did in the last few years EA released today the demo for their newest street racing game, Need For Speed Pro Street, from the original exotic car racing to hot pursuits, from Porsche history to car tuning the NFS premise was speed, and later on NoS addiction.

The Pro Street demo has two cars and two circuits in two different type of races, including the new type of race where you pray you don`t get your car totaled at high speeds, speaking of damage, the damage system is not that great, you only get a feeling that the car is made of plastic.
Truth is, yes, the game is not as arcade as it used to be, even on the CASUAL setting the car is difficult to control, a good thing for the series to aim at a larger group of gamers, the damage does affect the car`s overall performance, terrain affects speed and so on, taking street racing of the "streets" certainly makes it look as a simulator, but we will see about that on November 14Th.

Family Guy 100th Episode Special

Family Guy: A bit of history
Since it`s first air in 1999 Family Guy went trough a lot, it was canceled two times but FOX decided to continue it after the huge numbers of fans watching the reruns on Cartoon Network`s Adult Swim. Pretty much what happened to Matt Groening`s Futurama, to return somewhere around 2008.
After it`s comeback on FOX the show released a feature-length movie and now it`s currently in season 6.
The 100th episode anniversary
The psychological barrier of the number 100 will be passed this Sunday with a great Flashback episode and the "Stewie Kills Lois" episode, that unfortunately leaked on p2p in a nearly complete release. Anyway the episode will/is great and will make a lot of people happy who missed Stewie`s masterplans, only this time he will try to kill his Mum whatever it takes.

SouthPark "Imaginationland" synopsis

THIS POST MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS
Now that the longest running multi-part episode of SouthPark is out i think it would be fair to talk about the whole story of the Imaginationland episodes.
It all started with Cartman and his leprechaun and the contract with Kyle that said if the leprechaun is real Kyle will have to suck Eric`s balls, finally the leprechaun makes it`s appearance to Kyle`s surprise and warns them that a terrible thing is going to happen, so it happens that the mayor of Imaginationland comes to the boys and takes them to Imaginationland, the place where everything ever imagined comes to life, and then, just like that, terrorists begin their attack on the imagination and try to free the evil imagination forces separated only by a wall, as the leprechaun warned, on an attempt to make an escape Butters is left for dead and used as a tool to send a message to the world from the terrorists. Cartman goes to trial with Kyle and the judge agrees that Kyle has to suck his balls, the government brings up their ImaginationGate and conclude that they should nuke but then the council of nine puts on a plan to defeat the evil forces, the council consisting of Jesus, Luke Skywalker, Gandalf, Popeye and more including that Asshole talking lion from Narnia.

Anyway Butters becomes the chosen one and the epic battle between good and evil is won yet again by the good but the imagination still gets nuked but re-imagined by Butters. Oh! And Kyle sucks Cartman`s balls but not how you would expect, but that`s for you to discover. This one is a great episode, and if you can get it now it would be worth it.
