i have a nice laundry list of my favorite songs: enjoy! System of a Down Disturbed <current favorite, Best band ever! (imo that is) Monster Dehumanize Sickened Sabaton < some Swedish guys i heard watching this VBS1 movie some Old songs but good: Metallica One King Nothing Rob Zombie Never Gonna Stop Marilyn Manson YEA i know what everybody is going to say Manson=freak. I used to think so to until i decided to give him the benefit of a doubt that if you don't pay any attention to what he's doing on stage (or in some cases what he is doing to whom), his music is actually pretty sweet, so heres a couple (he doesn't really do anything gross in either video, so don't worry) This is the new shit The Beautiful People edit: Mudvayne (can't believe i forgot them) Happy? Forget to remember Death Blooms Not Falling

John Rambo trailer after watching the unadulterated violence, whats every bodies thoughts? *EDIT* this is a pretty violent trailer send little kids away if around. personally, i think it will be loads of fun.

Geneva Ohio USA. one day i'll post pics of lake erie. quite nice this time of year.

i'm not complaining, i'm pretty much sold on the m2 massacre scene. although i see a similarity between this Rambo and the psycho path Rambo from the first movie, only w/ more violence.

i don't think so. though i think he's going to have a roll in the story.

oh im sure its gona rock our world. this is blizzard after all, not EA or Ubisoft. Blizzard will stop development on a game if they feel its not gona be great. though i do hope this evolves from the build a base, gather resources, horde a uber unit and go crazy their last strategy games where. edit, watched the excellent CG trailer and gameplay trailer. i kinda wish blizzard would move out of the stylized look of their games and into a something more life-like. but now at least it looks like we will have nice large scale armies and not these small unit counts. i hope there will be a collectors edition similar to Warcraft III's

this game has its pluses, but i have more negatives in it. the campaign (story wise) didn't bother me too much, could have made it better by putting in proper cut scenes and not these still shot pictures w/ a narrator. gameplay wise the missions suck. its like Red Hammer, but worse. though it has a few fun missions things i hate most about this game's campaign: the AI is the worst i have ever seen. Waay worse than in OFP. in OFP troops on the ground were decent. though they couldn't navigate inside buildingsthey did fight well outside. in ArmA the AI very unbalanced between horrible and unfairly difficult enemy AI is down right brutal. no matter your location, whether your behind a car, house, tree, whole forest, bush bolder, 1m or 500m away, they magically know thats where you as well as anybody in your squad are located and in less than .00001 seconds they have their AK's sights lined up on your head and in one shot your dead. you would think that if they enemy is that vicious surely the AI you command must as brutal. WRONG! there is not a word in the human language i can describe just how dumb your fellow soldiers are. where as the enemy are ruthless murder machines your soldiers get their asses handed to them each time you tell them to attack that soldier or this soldier. its pathetic. when under the command of the AI, he will gladly march us off into a meat grinder w/out so much as telling us to get down, or stay alert. in OFP the AI officers were great. the first mission where you take Morton is a perfect example. the Control sceme is another thing i despise. the only way i have been able to figure out how to get the gunner in a tank to switch from the main gun to machine gun is to switch to the command mode and press F key. for aircraft its even worse. you can't select targets w/ the mouse cursor because you don't have a cursor, unless your going to switch to command mode which is a pretty bad way for you the pilot to give targets to your gunner, this method is only available if you have the gunner under your command. otherwise you have to scroll through targets using the tab key. your no longer able to strafe your helicopter side to side, and fixed wing aircraft can't turn the nose on their horizontal axis using the rudders. i heard realistically aircraft can't do that at high speed. if so, than flying in this game really got a whole lot harder. the sound is kinda bad, the gun shots don't bother me too much, its the vehicles sound really bad, there really isn't any change in the sound as you throttle up or down. in flashpoint for xbox bis put a awsome sound for the t80's engine, i loved it. then theres the radio chatter you will hear from your soldiers as the locate enemies, and bark orders. ofp's radio chatter wasn't good, but it was very tolerable. in Arma it just gives me a head ache. lastly, where the hells all the vehicles, no M60 tanks, no Bradleys fighting vehicles, no t80's, no t55, no hind, no chinhook, no kioha and no apachi to sum it up, if i knew anybody looking for a fun and realistic military game, id tell them to stay away from ArmA for the moment. maybe in the future, this game will get a overhaul and become on par w/ flashpoint or hopefully even better, i really hope so too, i want this game to be awsome. instead get Flashpoint elite on Xbox. w/ ofp elite you get: nice graphics, not as good as Arma, but a hellava lot better than the vanilla ofps graphics. infact, i would even go as far as saying this port is better than its PC original none of this troublesome AI more vehicles better campaign some of the nice features seen in Arma, smoke and fire from destroyed vehicles, watching choppers spin out of control if you shoot the rear rotor blade, delayed detonation on the west hand grenades, they even bounce off of other objects. after completing CWC you can unlock resistance. don't get Red Hammer, but Red Hammer was crap anyway. you do get the bonus vehicles that did come w/ the expansion. and you even see them in use in the CWC campaign. that was something that kinda seemed odd to me that bis included the nice vehicles and didn't bother to use them in any of them in Red hammer or resistance.

i'm trying to get a large force to assault a city w/ a equally large number of defenders to hold them off. problem im having is the attackers will begin their advance than stop at the first sight of the defenders and hold their positions w/out advancing. and i can't get the defenders to hold their spots. they either break off from their groups and charge off to the enemy individually, or just simply run away. this is what im trying to get who ever made this managed to get the attackers to come in a human wave, and the defenders are holding their ground. what am i missing? the map maker is claiming he didn't do any editing. it was made completely w/ the editor.

in flashpoint you had your crosshairs to select targets when in aircraft. in ArmA, i can't figure out how to select a target other than pressing the tab key to scroll through targets which can be troublesome if im trying to target a shilka or other aa weapon before it starts shooting at me. is this a glitch or is it simply not available in this game?

didn't know that vehicle was still in service. its old, way back from the 60's i think.

air drops that go bad edit here's one my friend showed me that I've been looking for, Watch the Runway as the pilot approaches

AT blooper:

I actually like this game. EA actually tried to make this game feel more like the C&C games that were developed by Westwood. you get the in-between movies, the world map where you pick your missions, and the challenging campaign. they finally tossed all the silliness that the EA C&C games had and made this more a serious game. the Nod units took me some getting used to. i wasn't to thrilled w/ the scorpion tank, looked a little to odd, but I've grown to like it. kinda wish they kept the Nod infantry and the cyborgs from tiberian sun, those guys were cool. instead, now they just have militants. this game is still well worth the purchase. runs great on modest machines too.

i don't have much faith in this being a good game. Halo should stick to what made it great and that's a FPS. now if Relic and THQ where behind the developement of it, than that would be something different. their RTS games have been very very good! im especially loving Company of Heros.

I didn't realize just how grim things were in Thailand. Everything that's been dominating the news was Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Steve Irwins Death, The Pope, than just over night the government of Thailand gets taken by the military. Everybodys thoughts as to what happens next? Heres a link: Link

looks cool but i really wish they made this take place in the Pacific theater. maybe they will make a expansion.

am i the only one who thinks Halo should remain a FPS? and not some run of the mill stradegy game?

Full Article i heard about that some time ago. problem is its not quite ready for tapping (about another million years to go). but as the article said some company is planning to see if they can extract the oil by heating the shale to very high tempratures and pressurizing it and some other technical stuff. i wouldn't expect it to drop fuel prices though.

do you have any paticular games you like? or do you like a little bit of everything? what i'd reconmend thats currently out: Elder Scrolls IV even if you don't like RPGs this is a game still worth a try at least Prey same w/ Elder Scrolls still worth a try The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay - Developer's Cut stay away from Doom 3 if you looking for a FPS this game is one of the few games thats based off of a movie that doesn't totaly suck. its a old game but still has some nice graphics that are just as good as Doom 3's. the fire fights are fun and but you'll find the melee system they got in this game to be the best on any FPS Games or Expansions to look out for that haven't been released yet. Dawn of War Dark Crusade expansion for War Hammer 40K War Hammer Mark of Chaos this isn't your typical base building stradegy, this game focuses strickly on the battle's kinda like what Total War Series did. Theres some pretty cool trailers floating around on the web Neverwinter Nights 2 If you like the first NWN than definitly put money aside for this game.

I emailed support@codemastersusa.com that i lost my CD key and how i can get a new one and all i got was this weird reply: Is somebody going to get back to me or am i gona be w/out a CD key?

Hamburger Hill The Great Raid Glory

You should definitly get some pickiters together and see if you can stop this. maybe even start a collection fund to attempt to buy the boat back. That's how one of our WWII subs SS-224 the Cod was saved from being scrapped.

that bomb the fire fighter is talking about could be refering to building 7, most likely it was demolished simply because its structure was questionable after the attack. I don'ttheres nothing suspicious about that, they did the exact same thing to the surviving sections Oklahoma City building. Or maybe its a video from the 90's from the earlier terrorist attack.
