Around here the weeks seem to get shorter and shorter like the first graders in high school. In fact the time seems to fly by as I get taller and older waiting for my chicken sandwich at Island Grill. Truth of the matter is that the time is constant, my fries just get cold if I don't eat them fast enough. The catch with that is if you eat too fast you might bite your tongue.
I hate - is a strong word - receptionists and information desks. The people, not the actual desks - I love desks, chairs and puppies. Receptionists on the other hand has a mandate to be rid of you as soon as possible. It would not be so bad if they were actually giving me the information that I needed but instead of trying to send me somewhere else without giving me any warnings about the death traps that lay before me. I instantly assume that the person in front of me is a idiot placed on this earth to troll innocent people and spoil my day.
I need to get my car painted soon. My attempt to acquire sponsorship for a gigantic sticker proved fruitless and expensive. The information desk was of no help. Can not get no satisfaction. Having a car with a peculiar colour further amplified my problems. Emerald blue pearl turns out to be a magical mix of colors and getting it to match seemlessly with the rest of the car may prove to be tricky. At the going rate I would go broke if I repainted the entire car. Bueaty is skin deep. They cannot love you like I love you.
On the surface it may seem like another scar-face bad-man Jamaican murder gun-movie. And yes it does have some of those elements but it never goes too far and it often skillfully avoids falling into some of the traps that these local Jamaican movies fall in to. Its well written, and nicely shot.
Its a wonderful movie go watch it, now. More info is on its website, I was almost tempted to give it a 10 out of 10 but it had no sex scene so it will have to settle for a 9 out of 10.
So far September has been a ridiculously expensive month. Upon joining the cult of the blackberry it seems like there is no end to the madness. Out of curiosity I added a local TV show to my contact list and they proceded to barage me with broadcast messages about events and giveaways - it seemed as if there was a 24 hour party going on somewhere that I did not know about.
I spent all of last weekend playing with myself in the hopes that I would not have to spend any more money. The modern lifestyle seems to be wrapped in a cycle of debt and expenses. I switched to the Discovery Channel and noted that lions are the most boring animals on television, except maybe the twins on TeachasPet. All they do is sit around and wait for something that they can catch and eat - they don't even cook it first. They must be able to save tons of money.
Politics, what can I say about it? 29% is crazy for the condition of the roads that I have to drive on in the mornings. Which reminds me I have to pay my toll charges so I can drive on Highway2000. Think of it as a bus fare for cars. Or maybe a car-fare for people. At this rate I will have to draw for the nearly $200 worth of loose change I have been collecting in my desk for the times when co-workers try to pressure me into contributing to pointless fund-raisers put on by the schools of their kids, kids of their schools OR schools of their churchs. This ain't no place for no hero. To go home.
Firstly let's just say that the game looks bueatiful the single player is definately pushing the wii. Pushing it so far that it results in frame drops when the on screen activity gets heavy. But the jungle stage is a site to be seen.
However the online multiplayer is a slow 30 frames per second and is littered with double kill bugs - maybe its just me but it is very annoying to shoot somebody is the head get the kill, only to have them kill you at the same time with a shotgun. This happens multple times in a single match. On the plus side the game features accolades which are an indication of how well or how badly you did in a match, things such as Professional, COD Master, . Too bad there is no way to see those gained by your teammates or enemies.
A smart watch with lasers is much cooler than a smart phone with WIFI!
The single player is above average, nothing spectacular but as good as call of duty. It basically IS call of duty. I give it a 8 out of 10. There is fun to be had. Multiplayer is poor but the single player is worth a play through. Doesn't live up to the memory of the N64 game. It looks better that COD:WAW but does not play better because of its low framerate. Rent or borrow first. Not a memorable game, certainly not worth keeping in your collection.
The Online Multiplayer
Besides the fact that the gameplay is a laggy 30 frames per second the multi player maps have some of the most illogical designs that I have seen so far in a FPS video game. The major culprit in this stage called archives in which the map is design as a maze, the stage is a 2 storey building which has no sense of symmetry or logical architectural design. I know this may be over the head for most layman but some of the stages in this game are practically impossible to memories because of the random placement of staircases and walls in little rooms that serve no logical purpose in a building.
The Single Player Campaign
Once you complete the game on notice the first time, you will probably no want to play it again unless you bought the game and have nothing else to play. You can always go for the time trials or the 007 Classic difficulty but these modes are pointless because enemies that appear out of hidden walls and bottleneck sections make doing a quick run through more of a chore than a exercise in skill. The single play is roughly 5 hours and has no gadgets besides a smart phone and some quick time events which are often pointless distraction. There is this one point where I actually had to go online to figure out to escape a helicopter sequence because of a poorly placed button. In general its a mixed bag
