Prestiged In Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3 MW3

So I just entered my first prestige mode in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 and wanted to brag about it a little bit.  I'm very impressed with the game so far and it's still as exciting as the day I bought it.

I hadn't played much of the Special Ops in the last game.  I have a feeling I will start playing more Spec Ops, especially the survival mode.  In the first four easy maps I've managed to make it to round 26 on solo play.  Is this good?  I don't know many people playing it.  Also, do most players use a mic?  It seems difficult to play without coordinating your moves with others.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 Perks Breakdown and Tips

Today I wasn’t feeling well so I stayed inside all day and played Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 all day.  There are some cool new perks and I was curious what additional perks the pro unlock provides.  I found this great video that explains all the Modern Warfare 3 perks and the pro additions so I thought I would share it.  Here it is:

What are your favorite perks?  Mine are Scavenger, Hardline, and SitRep.  MW3 has proven to be a pretty great game and I also really enjoy the Special Ops missions and survival modes.  My friend Ty and I got to wave 29 tonight on survival.  Also, the multiplayer maps discourage some of the lame camping that many of the previous maps have enabled.

Joe Paterno Deserves This Shame

It's really pissing me off seeing Penn State students rioting over the firing of Joe Paterno.  What he and the rest of his staff did was disgusting and more scary than any horror movie you can see.  He stood to go down in history as a college football hero, and now he will be remembered for doing nothing while a ten year old boy got raped, complete shame.

It's sad that this is how his career ended but shed no tears.  Real boys got majored f'd up in the head for life.  I think the count is at eight boys who have come forward but I'd imagine the real number of victims is at least quadruple the number who come forward.

I will one-up the Penn State firing and say that Joe Paterno should be charged with endangering children.  By not going to law enforcement he probably allowed many more boys to get sodomized and emotionally scarred for life.

Our Idiot Brother (Movie) Is Pretty Lame

Our Idiot Brother boasts a lineup of very funny comedians including Adam Scott, Rashida Jones, Elizabeth Banks, Paul Rudd, Zooey Deschanel, and T.J. Miller.  I was very excited to see it.  WHAT A LETDOWN!?!

Paul Rudd plays an ex con who just got release from prison.  He's down and out and needs a place to stay and winds up staying with his sister.  He ends up exposing some real messed up issues that his family has and works them through it.

Some would consider My Idiot Brother a dark comedy, a term I've never liked.  I if a comedy is so dark that it doesn't make you laugh or happy, then it shouldn't be considered a comedy.  That's the case with this lame movie.  If you are in the mood for a drama, check this movie out, but those of you looking for a comedy should not waste a couple hours watching this lame movie.

Classic TV Show: Kenny Vs. Spenny

I haven't posted in a while because Mikey and I have been watching old Kenny Vs. Spenny shows on YouTube.  In fact, you can find the entire collection of the show online.  I'm not sure if it's the show's official channel but there's a channel that has every episode of every season available to watch.  The channel is KennyVsSpennyEnglish.

There has been alot of speculation over whether or not the show is faked or planned, but either way the show is great.  I have a feeling most of it is genuine and actually happening but I think there have probably been parts that have been planned.  The one that I really wonder about is the competition episode, "Who Can Keep a Dead Octopus on Their Head Longest", when Kenny spikes Spenny's lemonade with acid.  Spenny is tripping on LSD the rest of the episode.

For those who haven't seen it, Kenny vs. Spenny is a Canadian television show from the 2000's where two friends compete in competitions.  It ran 6 seasons.  Spencer Rice and Kenny Hotz are the stars.  Competitions included Who Can Stay Awake the Longest, Who Do Gay People Like More, Who Can Smoke More Weed, Who Can Drink More Beer, Who Can Get Further With the Other Guy's Mom, and more.  Click on the link above to check it out!

Red State, Kevin Smith's New Movie, REVIEWED!

Red State blurs the line between comedy, horror, and action.  It was directed by Kevin Smith, famous for Clerks, Chasing Amy, Mallrats, Cop Out, Dogma, and many other great films.

In a small redneck town a right-wing church is getting away with murders, in the name of God.  Three local teenage boys are taken hostage to be sacrificed.  John Goodman plays an ATF agent who stumbles upon the crazy church and attempts to take them down.  He is great for the part.

The ending takes a very unexpected turn, making it great up until the last second.  We'd definitely recommend watching it!

Netflix Screwed the Pooch

Netflix's recent decision to double their prices for the equivalent plan most users were subscribing to was one of the worst business decisions ever.  Almost all of my peers subscribed to Netflix and every morning at work you would see at least a handful of Netflix's red envelopes in the outgoing mail.  It's like Netflix was becoming a cultural norm.

I canceled my service a day before my first billing date under the higher prices.  I milked it until the last minute but made it a point to send a message to Netflix.  I've been a subscriber for six years and have stuck with them through changes before.  This one was different.  This one felt personal and it stung after all of the money I've given them.

I was already growing tired of them in the months leading up to the price increase.  The watch instantly selection was poor.  They high numbers of titles they brag about are made up of mostly movies from before I was born.  The modern movies that are included are almost entirely rated below average.

Many of my colleagues have also canceled too.  Why didn't Netflix make small gradual price increases?  I bet they would have lost fewer customers.  The last count I saw was 650,000 people have canceled since the increase was announced and the number continues to climb.  I bet someone (people) will be fired.

New Call of Duty Zombies Brings Back Old Maps!

Playstation 3 players are finally getting to play the new zombie map pack for Call of Duty Black Ops, Rezurrection.  XBOX players have had this for a month now, but it's still new to me.  Kind of new, at least, because there is really only one new map.  The other four are throwbacks.

The new map pack brings back Nacht Der Untoten, Verruckt, Shi No Numa, and Der Riese which were all originally from Call of Duty World at War.  There is also a new map called "Moon".

I think Moon sucks.  The intro before you go into space is stupid.  They should just let you start in space.  I haven't heard any positive feedback from other players online either.  They really dropped the ball here.

It also would have been nice to have at least one new game mode or map for regular multiplayer.  Many of my online friends don't play zombies.  Every time they put out a new map pack they always include at least one zombie map.  They should include at least one multiplayer map with a zombie map pack too.

How I Handle Telemarketers

I have a unique approach to telemarketers.

I have a couple cell phones, one for work and my personal phone.  I very rarely give out my personal number, usually giving out my landline or work numbers.  When I get a call I don't recognize on my personal cell I will call it back with one of my gmail phone lines.  I act like I'm interested in whatever they are going to sell me for a few moments.  Then, out of nowhere, I start trying to sell them something.

Some of thing imaginary things I've tried selling telemarketers include pornographic magazines (making up names was so fun!), camel toe guards, canned beets, body fluid cleaner, and pubic shaving cream.  One of the times an Indian-sounding telemarketer who called to let me know he had "a great deal on an extended warranty for my vehicle" asked me if I had a catalog of the pornographic magazines I sold that I could send him.  He seemed genuinely disappointed when I told him no.

The best is when they respond with telling me that they are at work and are not interested in buying anything.  I get to reply, "so now you know how I feel".  A small win, but one that lasts in the minds of the ethically-deprived lowlifes who bother me when I'm busy.

Rachel, Most Annoying Player All-Time, Wins Big Brother

I didn't get into this season of Big Brother as much as I have in the past.  I thought they were all dull, except Evil Dick, who ended up leaving a before the first eviction even took place.  This season brought back the three people I've hated the most in the seasons I've watched: Brendan, Rachel, and Jesse.  At least Jesse was just for an episode.

I didn't have a favorite, but I knew who I didn't want to win - Brendan and Rachel.  Now they are engaged.

This players this season were all mentally challenged.  They all kept bitching about "playing the game" and how important it was "to compete".  The second they enter the house the competition begins.  The game is not 100% physical, 100% mental, or 100% social.  It's a mix of all three and each player has unique circumstances so it's not the same mix for every player.

I don't know if I will watch another season.  The only reason I watched it at all is if I wasn't busy and there was nothing else I was in the mood for on my DVR.  I would probably find it more interesting in the winter, when it's cold outside and I actually feel like watching TV.

Amsterdam Heavy Review, Well, Sort Of

I'm writing this on my cell as I sit here watching Amsterdam Heavy.  I thought the trailer looked sweet so we decided to see it tonight.  We're about 13 minutes into the movie and as you can tell I am not enjoying it.  The only thing that has kept me watching is the two sets of boobs they've shown.

The second scene is a guy in the car with a slutty girl.  She's giving him road-head.  They stop, he gives her some ecstasy and then they drive off and she OD's en route to a club.  The guy in the car is the worst actor I've ever seen and he's speaking with an accent that sounds like I would imagine a French guy trying to do an Indian accent with bits of Spanish.  It makes no sense.  Wait, all his friends are talking like this too.  This is stupid.

Well we've been watching this for 20 minutes and it sucks.  We're going to go see Bucky Larson and I will review that movie tomorrow.  Don't waste your money on Amsterdam Heavy!

Cannabiz by John Geluardi (2010)

Cannabiz by John Geluardi is the story of the marijuana movement in the US over the last 60 or so years.  The author explores everything from politics to economics to history and examines how public opinion has changed favorably towards marijuana.  The most interesting concept discussed that I had never thought about was ancillary businesses like lawyers, security firms, and others that benefit from the legal marijuana trade.

It's not an activist book, but the facts clearly show that the marijuana industry would help any economy that allows it.  I recommend this book, even if you are like me and have followed the news over the years.  It's a great read!

Your Highness (2011) Review

Your Highness is the comedic story of Fabious (James Franco) and his jealous broher Thadeous (Danny McBride).  Fabios' bride-to-be, Belladonna(Zooey Deschanel) is taken hostage to be raped and killed prompting Fabios and Thadeous to embark on a journey to save her.  Along the way they meet Isabel (Natalie Portman) and join forces to defeat the captor of Belladona.

My favorite character was the pedophile pothead lizard creature that Fabious and Thadeous go to seeking advice for their quest.

I couldn't believe how strikingly similar Zooey Deschanel looks like Katy Perry.  I don't know if that's a compliment or not.  I bet Zooey wouldn't be able to stand Russel Brand though.
