Evening Reading
by Brian Leahy, Nov 10, 2010 5:00pm PSTLast night, I was attempting to play some Call of Duty: Black Ops multiplayer on the Xbox 360 or PC. On the 360, Live was having some issues with the massive player load and actually getting games to load was becoming an issue.
On the PC side, I'm having a good amount of performance problems, though I'm not freezing/hitching as badly as some people. Not having a locked framerate, however, takes some getting used to after playing CoD games on the 360 since CoD4. Aiming with a mouse is nice, though.
Going by the numbers displayed in-game, last night I saw around 3.6 million people "in playlists" on the Xbox 360 version, while the PC reported 35,000. Some Twitter followers told me they saw around 500,000 on the PS3 at the same time. While these numbers probably don't represent an accurate measure of concurrency, those are decently staggering difference, though in line with what I've come to expect from Call of Duty.

I've finished this now. I will never talk to the police without an attorney present. Never. It's pretty sickening that the police and prosecutors involved in this weren't charged with crimes themselves. This is utterly disgusting. (I realize that the officer has been found guilty on unrelated charges, but this failure went well beyond him).
This really is a must watch. What happened to these military men is beyond fucked.

Also, to make this just a bit more inflammatory, let me put this out there. If you can get this level of false information from standard interrogation, how can anyone trust any information gathered using "enhanced" interrogation techniques?
