Evening Reading: War Modernized

I just finished pressing "Post" to publish my thoughts on Modern Warfare 2. If things go as planned we'll have an official review up Friday too. It's funny how it all worked out. To play the completed game we had to go on that trip to the review event and agree to today's embargo. Of course, as it turned out street date didn't hold and I could have just played it on my own over the weekend. Whatever. The reality of those events is far less glamorous than you'd think. Most of us take what we do seriously and are there for the games.

For those playing MW2 I'm curious what you think of the game. I'm expecting plenty of heat for not gushing over the single-player. It's become the summer action blockbuster flick of the biz. Don't expect more and you can enjoy all the stuff that blows up real good. And, now I know this is going to be a small subset, for those who also finished 50 Cent Blood in the Sand, tell me that MW2 isn't basically the same ending. And 50 was around the team a lot during development. Just saying. There were a few other things that happened today:

As you head out into the rest of the night try to be more careful than this very inebriated Bostonian who fell in front of a subway train.

And how about a moment of silence for the poor tropical fish who perished when Yamile Campuzano-Martine smashed into a 1,500 gallon aquarium at the Tampa airport.

      Dont cry here when your account gets hacked. Just download the mods individually.

        Funny that would strike me as less secure overall.

        Though I use the iPhone Authenticator, and it's nice not having to worry about the security at all.

          It's not entirely baseless, it's happened a few times and definitely won't happen if you install them yourselves unless you're dumb and use an exe.

          But it hasn't happened that often so it's not like everyone using it is going to be hacked.

      No. It works well enough. The new version is ugly as hell though.

      Is it true that WoW ruins your life?

      Curse is the way to go. They've improved drastically over the past year or so in terms of security. It's the other websites I'd be worried about.

        Well, I got Torchlight and Borderlands, and I didn't care that much for either of them. I'll probably pick up L4D2.
