No, I'll check him out though.bob_newman

This was the song that convinced Jay-Z to sign him. He's pretty good, I also like I'm Coming Home and In The Morning ft. Drake.

Do you like Kid Cudi at all? He released his 2nd album last week.

So I beat Black Ops last night and moved on to Multiplayer. Multiplayer is a HUGE improvement over MW2 and I'm saying this while being in that awkward "Oh god I'm so lost" phase with respect to the maps. A lot of what made MW2 frustrating a lot of the time has been removed or redone in such a way that the game feels much more balanced. For example I got a chopper gunner in a care package last night, chopper gunner of course being one of the infamously broken killsteaks in MW2. In Black Ops the chopper gunner is definitely still good but its definitely been nerfed because of the aiming. It is a very slow process to move the cursor with the new chopper gunner whereas in MW2 you could swing it around at whatever speed you wanted, it just kind of lazily moves along now. This gives the people on the ground a better chance. Also I really like this new currency system because it means I can buy ninja right away and not have to wait til level 40 or so to get myself some silent footsteps. Also no Stopping Power. People actually have to use perks other than "Kill faster". Also no one man army for those infinite ammo noobtoobs. Also killstreaks don't chain so if you want those high end kill streaks you actually need to get 10-15 kills yourself. Everything feels more fun and balanced. Definitely an improvement. Way to go Treyarch.snowman6251

Ughh im torn. MAG is really dead lately, its taking longer and longer to que into games. I JUST got the escalation DLC and its already down to just over 100 people on each PMC playing at night..

The game or the DLC? The game is still really active, with Suppression and Sabotage being almost instant que ins. The drop in activity might be just because of the Black Ops release, but if it gets to the point of interdiction where the ONLY time you can play it is on peak weekend hours, I may switch to black ops :/

Did you buy a red Wii and slap a TTU sticker on it?

This is pathetic. Haziqonfire

Ok, not gonna spoil it for anyone who hasn't played it or gotten that far... But final boss battle of NSMB Wii was as nostalgicly epic combines with new awesome all wrapped in a very satisfying end. I can't wait to get all the star coins to unlock the star world levels :D

I never ended up getting all of them lol.

I got to like world 5 or 6 as well, getting all the star coins, then after that I was like okay well this is too hard so I'm just going to beat the game. I still need to go back and complete it 100%.

The star coins in NSMB Wii are cake compared to the ones in NSMB DS. I don't remember having any significant problems with any of them, even the ones in the star world. I had more trouble finding some of the secret goals... I had to check a FAQ for two or three of them.

And if you're going for 100%, don't forget to go into all the cannons. If a dot on the map is blue, it counts as an unfinished level and the game won't recognize your greatness. That had me completely confused for a whole day because I knew I'd done everything but the game told me I hadn't.

nothing happens when you get 100% anyway. After i beat all the levels and got all the coins in world nine i thought something cool would happen. nothing did, i was disappointed.

*Flops into forum half alive*

So me and my girlfriend are moving in together soon, and I got EA Active 2 to give us something else to play together and I figured we would both enjoy the exercise (We're both pretty active, I run and she rides her bike a lot).

Consider my butt kicked, I was dripping sweat and had wobbly legs by the end of the workout. I doubt exercise games have a very big following on GameSpot but it definitely delivers

I love it when I order things off amazon and then forget that I order them. Surprise packages are the best!

Today's findings include Endless Ocean: Blue World and Bump in the Night complete series on DVD. Now I just have to finish up my last bit of work tonight and I am all done formal homework for the semester!

Let me know how Endless Ocean is; that one's been on my radar, but it's never been quite high enough for me to actually bother getting it.

Sure I'll post up some impressions. Have you played the first one? I thought it was quite a different but fun game. From what I hear the sequel is much of the same with significant improvements so it was pretty much a no-brainer for me.
