Howdy folks. After picking up Call of Duty: Black Ops the night of release (which I somehow coincidentally forgot was coming out that night), I found myself the next day laid out with illness. As that illness wore on and pain became increasingly impossible to deal with, I went to the hospital to find out what the hell was wrong with me. In turn, they basically told me that I'm fat and eat like shit. There was other stuff in there about "fatty liver" and some gallbladder activity or output or something. It's all written on a paper somewhere. The long version is - eat healthy and get lots of sleep. The short version is - I'm eating a lot more Subway. With that said, games.

TFU2 sucks. I wish I could put it lightly or in some nicer words, but I can't. It's a plain and simple truth, a fact that just has to be stated dry and bluntly: TFU2 sucks. The story is almost non-existant, and when it tries to be existant, it's paper-thin and hair-brained AT BEST. The gameplay itself feels improved as far as controls and general physics go, but the linear level design causes many of those improvements to mean very little in the end. Part of the fun in the first game was playing around with your Force powers, but this time around feels more like a grind through stormtrooper after stormtrooper just to get to an unsatisfying plot point. There's also that ridiculous appearance by Yoda, which personally seemed more idiotic than hearing Brad tell us about it. Oh, and if that wasn't enough, the voice acting is generally T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E here. How terrible? I explicitly looked up whether Sam Witwer reprised the role because there were plenty of times when Starkiller is yelling and I told myself "there is no WAY that's the same voice actor, it sounds terrible". Much to my dismay, it IS Sam Witwer...and I'm just thoroughly baffled by that.
Frankly, TFU2 feels like Devil May Cry 2 to me: there was a lot of potential here to make a bigger and better game, and what we instead received was an understatement to the potential of its predecessor. Don't buy the game. Don't rent it. Just let it die. It's sad to say that it's throw-away licensed crap from Lucasarts...but that's just what it is.
CODBLOPS is Still A Thing
Yo, shit's good! The small piece of single player I've gotten into has been satisfying so far. I'm playing through on Hardened, but since I'm only about four missions in, I'm thinking I'll just jump back and start it up on Veteran and play through. I want to play more of the campaign, but the goddamn multiplayer is so fucking good. Well, let me rephrase that.The goddamn multiplayer is so fucking good...until you get to the problems of respawning. This has NEVER...and I repeat...NEVER been a problem for me in any previous Call of Duty game. Therefore, when I am in every fucking match...yelling out "WHY THE FUCK AM I SPAWNING ON TOP OF THE ENEMIES?", it seriously gets to be a level of frustration that I can barely handle. Regardless, I've been pulling my usual 2.00+ KDR rounds (even pulled a 13.5 last night after going 27/2), and it's definitely proving to be fun. Maybe one day I'll play Zombies or something, but for now, I'm just going to continue giggling at penis emblems and talking shit about how bad other people are at the game.
