I'm almost tempted not to watch for fear of spoilers...But who cares.  
 
Edit: Why is Jeff using two profiles?  
 
Also, I really wish I had a USB keyboard.

It is weird. I went on the BlOps page and it was on there, but when you clicked it it went to the Kinect Fitness QL :S
 
At least it's up now though :)

I want to get this but the PC issues seem pretty wide spread and there is no ETA on when it'll be fixed. From the videos the game is completely unplayable.

I'm still on the fence about buying this game. Just bought the Dragon Age Ultimate edition so that's close to 80 hours right there and still getting into Reach. I'm sure 85% of my friends list will be playing this though.

I didn't wanna watch the single player stuff, if you don't want to either then skip to to 32:30 to go straight to the multiplayer!

So, regarding the interrogation voice at the start: 
 

  
EDIT: Forget it, the guys themselves pointed it out. 
 
Also, I am now interested in this just for Sam Worthington. I love that guy.

I really like those fast transitions between level and cutscene, and that commercial Brad described is insane. Those explosions look fantastic, and I love that there's an option on the main menu that's just labeled ZOMBIES. I wasn't too interested in this game until the last day or so, but I'd really like to play it now. All that bonus stuff just seems rad.

Yep. Unplayable. That's totally why I, and many others; were up late playing this last night... because it's unplayable. Sigh.

Don't understand Jeff's criticisms of the game at all. It's absolutely brilliant and so so so SO much better than MW ever was. Treyarch have proven they are by far the best CoD developer with this one.

 I don't know how much I like the focus on twin pistols and smgs, but other than that, this game looks kick ass.

It's good they don't use racial slurs.  Otherwise you'd probably get people going around saying that stuff and laughing about it.

This mission briefing has been REDACTED. 
 
This is still as much Call of Duty as Call of Duty 1. The core gameplay facet of pushing forward against AI opponents has never changed. 
 
Edit: OK, they just shot Fidel Castro in the head. Now I'm interested.

Lame. I was hoping that this was going to be some alternate timeline kind of deal. I'm a little less interested in this game now. Aw sadface.
