(re)Turning Point: More Anger

Well not surprisingly like the achievement whore I am I went back to turning point to scrounge as much as I can (I just hit the 30000 point mark!) So I beat it on Normal then I beat the final mission on insane and hard. Got some more achievements like Swirly, where you stick a guy into a toilet.

That's a good analogy for this game! Like sticking your head in a shitter! I'm going to lay down some fucking rules for developers!

1. THOU SHALT NOT MAKE MULTIPLAYER ACHIEVEMENTS!

For some stupid ass reasons developers want to make a brand new game (i.e. not a sequel) and throw in a multiplayer system. If you are going to do this DON'T put achievements there! Why? BECAUSE NO ONE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT YOUR GAME YET! If your game becomes somewhat popular then you can add achievements to the sequel!

For example Call of Duty 3: Has a fucking 20000 pt achievement which I estimated would take me 3 months of around the clock playing.

Prey: I loved the single player campaign. But where the hell did they get off thinking they could make a multiplayer? Why? It's fucking stupid!

Fuck even Medal of Honour: Airborne made a fucking multiplayer campaign with achievements and no one but three people play it.

THEN THERE'S Turning Point: Fall of Liberty

In my review I slammed it for bugs, lack of weapons, lack of story, etc. and instead of remedying those problems they built a fucking multiplayer system. FUCK ME!

There is NO ONE PLAYING AT ALL! NONE! ZERO! In fact in the Top 10 players list there are only 6 people for this month. 6 people in a fucking 10 person list!

Do you know why I hate multiplayer achievements? THIS! How the fucking am I supposed to get the following achievements from Turning Point: Fall of Liberty? (In order of preposterousness)

• Maybe I Should Go Outside: Get 2500 ranked match kills in any mode
• Killer Instinct: Get 500 ranked match kills in any mode
• Killer: Get 100 ranked match kills in any mode
  
• World Tour: Finish a multiplayer game on EVERY MAP in EVERY MODE
• One in the Chamber: Kill a player in a ranked match with the last bullet in a pistol clip
  
• Staying Alive: Finish a ranked match in Deathmatch mode without dying
  
• Team Player: Win 20 ranked matches in Team Deathmatch mode
• MVP: Win an 8 player Team Deathmatch with the highest score
  
• pwnt: Finish an 8-player Deathmatch with the most kills
  
• Uberdork: Win 5 ranked matches in Deathmatch mode
• Next Time Take The Stairs: Fall to your death during a multiplayer game
• First Time for Everything: Finish a multiplayer game

I can't get any of them! BETTER YET 2500 KILLS!

P.S. They also put in a fucking sprint for 30 minutes achievement which is fucking ridiculous since sprint only last 10 seconds or even less!

Canada In Afghanistan Pt1

Do you know what opium is used for? Heroin. 90% of opium comes from Afghanistan. Now I know what you're thinking, those darn Taliban people are making the drugs.

Well you're dead wrong. In 2000 the Taliban actually banned growing opium, and even succeeded in decreasing the amount by 90%! It was only after WE invaded that Afghanistan began to produce large amounts of opium. Now they are the #1 maker of opium! Woohoo! Take a look at this quote from wikipedia:

"While U.S. and allied efforts to combat the drug trade have been stepped up, the effort is hampered by the fact that many suspected drug traffickers are now top officials in the Karzai government."

Did I say it was banned in 2000? Actually it was July 2001, that's not suspicious at all now is it?

GOING ALL THE WAY!

This is it. Unless My Giants D some how loses a ton of points, the Hamilton Maulers are going to the Championship Final. It's currently 88-64 for us against the Circle da Wagons. So we might be able to breach the 100 pt mark.
Analysis: Henderson (WR) let me down by getting 0, Steve Smith (WR) and Rhodes(RB) got 22-23 respectively. Everyone else got varying amounts of points, even my reserves got a ton of points!

Giants lost so the final score 98-64 for Hamilton Maulers! We're going to the end zone people!

Thoughts on Bobby Leavin' 43

Well a couple hours ago I learned the Bobby Labonte and Petty Enterprises separated ways. This is sad to me because I enjoyed watching Bobby race in the Yellow/Blue 43 (actually he probably wouldn't be yellow/blue next year anyway with General Mills gone). I actually wanted Bobby gone before that, because to be honest, Petty Enterprises has been a crappy team for awhile, not because of Bobby, but just a bad win to sponsorship ratio. Their last good year was 1999, and then Adam Petty died in 2000, after that Andretti stopped performing and Kyle stopped performing.

They've had tons of drivers too, Greg Biffle, Jerry Nadeau, Jeff Green and others, all only getting a couple of top 10s. Then Bobby came and brought some life to the company, getting 3 top 5s and 8 top 10s in 2006.

In 2007 I don't know what happened, did the quality of cars stop? It seems like the cars could only get him around the top 20 as that was his average start and finish. And it carried over to 2008.

When Bobby does find a new team that might mean he'll have to adjust and that could mean a slow start. Luckily Mark Martin's coming back this year so I'll be able to root for both of them.

Here's how my 2009 Favourites Team are:
Favourite- Mark Martin
Star- Kyle Busch (Don't Hate Me)
Veteran- Tony Stewart
Rookie/Noob- ?? Possibly David Regan, Scott Speed (but I don't like Red Bull), Ryan Newman or Hell, Carl Edwards
Underdog- Bobby Labonte, or Ryan Newman/David Regan if Bobby some how doesn't get a ride

The Final Countdown...

Wow the past couple weeks have gone by quickly.
The Maulers aren't in the playoff and ended the season with a 5-9 record.

So of course I'm going up against Circle da Wagons with my Hamilton Maulers.
The second game is Scatter Brains versus The Mudcats.

Here's the low-down:
Mudcats-(East Division)
Record: 8-6

Scatter Brains- (West Division)
Record: 9-5

Circle da Wagons- (Central Division)
Record: 9-5

Hamilton Maulers- (East Division)
Record: 8-6

As you can see the East Division has the stack against us but we're going up against the two titans right now.

Here's the Projections:

Hamilton Maulers vs. Circle da Wagons: Maulers by 34

Mudcats vs. Scatter Brains: Mudcats by 11

Could there be a East Division square off in the final? Time will tell...

Top 10 Christmas Movies

As chosen by me (with clips too!)

I was inspired by one of the blogs I frequent, by one of the radio personalities I frequently listen to, to make a Christmas Movie list

Honourable Mentions: Frosty the Snowman, The Santa Clause (yeah with Tim Allen I know. But the other 2 are crap), Unaccompanied Minors (new, and I love Lewis Black), Gremlins (sure why not?)

10. Home Alone 2: Although Kevin is older than he was in Home Alone 1 the New York setting livens it up.


Classic! I Love you!

09. Charlie Brown Christmas: I don't think any kids have that particular song memorized but you never know.



08. Elf: Unfortunately I'm not young enough to have had this in my childhood but it's still hilarious and heartwarming.



07. How the Grinch Stole Christmas: Just plain classic.



06. Home Alone: skip ahead to the 4 minute mark if you want to see one of my favourite scenes



05. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: Another classic. I wonder whatever happened to Fireball? Probably scooping out the crap from the stable. Backstabber.



04. It's A Wonderful Life: A classic. I only saw this what? Two years ago and because I worked at a video store. But when I saw it I immediately knew why this is a classic. The ending is so heartwarming.



There is no movie with a more heartwarming ending then that. None.

03. Santa Claus is Comin' to Town: I've only seen this once but I loved it and remember most of it. I love it mostly because it 'explains' our Christmas traditions like stockings and stuff.



The whole movie is there if you double click

02. A Christmas Vacation: Shitter was Full!



01. A Christmas Story: Fra-gee-lay must be Italian. Classic.
