And just like that, another week's worth of 2011 has been successfully strong-armed through the wood-chipper. Fargo-style. Not to worry though. There are still fifty glorious weeks left, which, of course, means fifty more weeks worth of new game releases to look forward to.

And speaking of dismemberment, I'm pretty excited to get my hands on a copy of Dead Space 2, soon. I've been doing my best to steer clear of the media and hype about the game so far (so as not to ruin the surprises), but the preliminary word on the street has been pretty positive. Here's hoping!

But enough speculation. I believe there is a chatty that would like to make your acquaintance. Play nicely, everyone.

CODBLOPS

Due to popular demand, here's a gameplay video that features no camping. I also decided to switch up my loadout a bit. Nearly a flawless but I got shot in the back which tends to be a danger when you move around. It was my fuck up though as I found when I watched the replay. You can hear footsteps which should have warned me but I guess I wasn't paying attention to it.

My loadout is listed in the video description. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nS_sctYaLdU&hd=1

      however, running around with the mpl and rapid fire. I dont give a fuck about enemy spy planes or sr71's. That dont help when i've already killed you by just LOOKING at my tv with the mpl in my hands :)
      
      i just dont get what spiderfill is going on about with the sr71. How the fuck can you even consider SEEING which direction the enemy is facing to not be an absolute 100% advantage to you? The FOV is so fucking narrow in this game, i regularly run past enemies without even noticing them, and get killed because i run by them.
