You put up a Modern Warfare 2 article and I missed it? Maybe because I’ve been playing it for two days straight no-sleep. Awesome game. Never been in armed combat but it seems fairly realistic. Maybe the best game of the year. Multiplayer is worth the price alone. My only criticism is that the single player story is short and without spoiling anything definitely is the middle chapter in a trilogy. Still awesome though. I’d recommend renting the first Modern Warfare and playing that story line otherwise you won’t get most of the events taking place in the second game.

Comedy must have an element of truth for it to be funny. This video is hilarious because it is true from start to finish.

28 years in the service, collected combat pay for less than 12 months, closest I got to combat in the Gulf War was when a SCUD landed 5 miles from the airfield in Bahrain, can I claim PTSD???

Only time I actually got shot at and could shoot back was a few months in Somalia.

Yep that video is waaay more accurate than any FPS!!

Of course almost immediately after I retired the troops got boots they don’t have to polish and BDUs they don’t have to iron, sigh. Why was my life so much harder than anybody else’s???? ;-)

You really don’t need an xbox Allah, you need a PS3 so you can use the blu ray.

Borderlands is utterly stupendous…EXCEPT for the driving.

What about Penn and Teller’s “Desert Bus”? Wasn’t that the most realistic game ever – you drive a bus in real time from Tuscon to Los Angeles.

Brilliant. There’s no way that wasn’t written by a vet.

That was hysterical. Reminds me of a photoshop-oriented buddy of mine in Okinawa, who decided that the Marine Corps recruiting posters were a bit unrealistic, and decided to create his own, feature such standards of the real Corps as waxing and buffing decks, cleaning the head, rustbusting, and pressing uniforms.

Does anyone else find this reminiscent (not the same to be sure) of David Wong's Ultimate War Simulation from a few years ago? First time post; hope it works

The majority of your time spent hauling equipment and filling out paperwork.

Anyone who's ever been in the military, ever, can appreciate this....

I’m guessing that gamer beta testing is slightly less painful than accounting beta testing, but “Infinity Ward” still cracked me up.

Just preordered Left for Dead 2 for my son. The demo of it is pretty cool, so hopefully it will be more intense than 1. BTW, Jetboy, your link to the game over at youtube has a tampon commercial. I cracked up.

“Heh, the WII M240 machine gun that you have to carry but can’t fire without explicit orders. Encapsulates the stupid ROE perfectly.

Bishop on November 10, 2009 at 6:57 PM”

We had the same ROE in Nam, but they were pretty well ignored when it got hot and heavy. As soon as I heard the first shot, I jacked a round in the chamber and started firing. I’d rather be court marshalled than dead.

Of course, they need to start at the “command check-in”, where you go from one building to the next wandering aimlessly for the office you need only to find out the people you need to see are “out to lunch”.

I agree with you, however, I don’t think it’s demeaning. It’s what the military is all about. I’ve mopped floors, painted offices, etc. and none of that is anywhere close to my actual job. I enjoy my job, though, and I’m d4mn proud of the people I work with.

I haven’t played Xbox in at least a year and half, but I’m thinking about it…

For this? Dude, you can't be a true Beatles fan without playing side 2 of Abbey Road with a room full of friends on a Saturday night.
