The games ability to track your progress and give feedback is by far the biggest emotional draw to the game. When you complete a contract, or get past a certain point in your “career” you get a virtual pat on the back that doesn’t happen as often as it should in real life, online. It really motivates you to keep on playing. I often find myself staying online longer than I planned because I need to just finish that last contract, or just get the last headshot for the pro version of a perk.

My friend even asked if he could use my gamer tag because he got to rank 50 on his 15th prestige. So how can you rack up the points to get more of that addictive praise?

I play hardcore free for all more than anything else, but the below ten tips should help in almost any game type:

Get started early a lot of people in FFA sit at their spawn and wait. Go shoot them. Once you know where the spawn points are Jr is easy to rack up 5 kills within seconds of the game starting.

Use your pistol, especially when you first start a match. (you run / move faster)

Patrol an area, don’t let anything move by or through it. Don’t camp, but pick out a building and patrol all entry points and windows.

Don’t use the action buttons, like the ones on radiation to close the missile doors. Unless you are drawing people to your position on purpose.

Use surround sound.

Always sit in the same place. The precise angle you look at the screen effects your ability to aim down the sight. You’ll notice yourself aim just a bit to the left or right everytime you move even the slightest.

Use different perks, killstreaks and guns to rack up the points that are available for the first 20 kills, 10 headshots, and so on.

Use a red dot on a piece of transparent tape and place it over the red dot on your sight to hone your precision.

I hope that you don’t use these to kill me, sirsyco2203, but you should be able to get through your prestige levels faster now that you have some insight.

Hulu’s new Captions Search, makes it super easy to find show clips that have the exact phrases that are in your script. Making editing image spots with show clips, or topical promo’s a whole hell of a lot easier.

To use the service go to That’s Funny

All you do is replace That’s Funny with the phrase you are looking for. I normally go by most popular of all time, but I do work for a FOX affiliate. If you work for CBS, or NBC, you may have problems that way. Maybe they should add a sort option for “crappiest” or “for old people” Just Joking.

When I saw the commercials for their brand new recipe, I thought that they might have been doing badly, and had taken out even more flavor to cut cost’s. Then I saw that they had a contest to take a picture of their pizza, and you could win $500. Since I have a camera, and know how to use it. I decided that I would give it a try.

We went to Dominos.com and placed an order online. Then we watched the cool new pizza tracker. Which is very cool. It even tells you the drivers name, and what time he left the store.

After taking some awesome pictures, I took a bite of the first slice….. and was amazed that there was any flavor at all. In my local area. There is a Round Table, a Little Caesars, Pizza Hut, Peter Piper, and last but not least Chuck E Cheese. All of which I would have preferred before Dominos at any time in the past. My favorite Pepperoni-Sausage-Mushroom Pizza from any pizza shop was in this order: Round Table, Pizza Hut, Peter Piper then whatever else I could get. Domino’s wasn’t even on the list before. Now I’d say Dominos is at the top of the list. Mainly because of the price. Round Table is better pizza, but they are too proud of it. at $15 for a large…. it makes Domino’s $9.99 large better.

The only complaint I had for domino’s is there sauce was very limited. There wasn’t much at all. If they doubled the amount, They would blow away the competition. I’m going to have to ask for double sauce next time.

So I suggest you try the new Domino’s Pizza. Go to Dominos.com now, and get yours delivered today.

Now that I have a seemingly completely normal baby boy, I wonder what I did right to deserve a child so beautiful. In some ways I’m not quite sure if I deserve it or not.

After much personal debate, I suppose that I’m not that bad of a guy, or maybe my thoughts are worse than my actions.

So I wonder how bad his actions will be, and worse yet, his thoughts. I’m truly in love with this little guy more than I ever really knew or expected. And even though he is less than a week old, he is the best thing that has ever happened to me.

General McChrystal in Afghanistan

If it is said that the war on the Taliban/Al Qaeda has since moved to Pakistan, why are we still in Afghanistan?

Sure, some would say that leaving without fixing their country to be a normal place, would make them even more mad at us. But then, what are we going to do when we get to Pakistan, re-construct their country also?

There has to be an end in sight, and there has to be some sort of way to leave.

I know that American Pop-Culture has made people only believe in winners, or losers, but there is a middle ground, isn’t there?

Maybe because we are still Imperialists, but  we are spending money we don’t have, on a country that will inevitably use that money against us in the end. Just like they did after we bought Taliban the AK-47′s in the 90′s as part of a peacekeeping mission.

There is no way to make a clean getaway, and Obama’s advisers won’t let him call it a loss after dumping more troops into the shit last Dec.

So then, why not just apologize now to Afghanistan’s people, and tell them: we never meant to hurt your people. We were only here to find & eradicate the Taliban/Al Qaeda.  Now that we have scared them off to Pakistan….. We will let you be.

Of course, you will need some sort of presence in the country to monitor the return of possible terrorist’s. They will only show their face again if we leave.

Personally, I believe that the people of Afghanistan would be more understanding if we were honest with them.

We never were there to police their streets, we are there to get Osama Bid Laden, and the 9/11 jabronies.

Same goes for Iraq, what the F are we still wasting tax dollars on. Why are we still in Iraq? History has shown that no government will emerge while they are dependent on our help.

Think about having a teenager leave the house when they turn 18. If you are supporting their every need. The only way they are going to find a job, and leave the house, is if a better deal comes along…. (for me it was sex) Who is going to provide that for Iraq, Iran?

Leave both countries, it will be the equivalent of kicking the teenager out….. They will land on their feet on their own. Giving them the option to Sink or Swim is the only way to go.

Sorry it took me so long to get to Gen. McChrystal, but after reading the rolling stone article. The only thing that he really needs, is to move on to Pakistan. He is obviously a man of action, and needs to be near the shit.

But, he really needs to get some sleep. Eat a hearty steak, (I guess he really has that now that he was sacked) and figure out wtf is up with getting the real bad guy. If he was the ring leader in rounding up all the terrorist cells in Iraq, why wouldn’t you give him some sort of bonus for capturing Osama, dead or alive.

Incentive… The only thing that is going to get anyone to do it is some sort of incentive. Sounds to me, that if you give McChrystal and his inner circle a couple predator drones, three months of supplies, a million dollars, a cherry coke, and an all expenses paid cruise on the Cougar Cruise. He would kill Osama Bin Laden within three days.

Least that’s a thought.

The New WordPress 3.0 “Thelonious” is here. This site has been updated, and it was relatively easy. In the header of your dashboard you should see an upgrade now button. Once you click on the link, it will start the process. It actually was very simple and easy to perform. Even when I added the multisite capability. Not that I would use it for this site. Well without using some sort of domain masking for the other sites I own. Which actually is a good idea now that I think about it.

To add multisite capabilities add the line

define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true)

to the config.php file on your server. Once you complete that and re-load your dashboard, and you will be prompted to add the superadmin section. Just follow the steps that WP 3.0 has made simple to complete. Then you will be ready to discover a whole new WP…

If a new to the web game guy like me can get this accomplished, you shouldn’t have any problems.

For more help go to http://codex.wordpress.org/Version_3.0

My favorite part so far of the upgrade is undoubtedly the upgrade section. Which makes all your upgrades happen in one place. Now if only my theme, and plugins would get their act together and upgrade!

Google TV is coming to a home near you, and personally I believe it will revolutionize the way we watch tv. Many times, I find myself wanting to show my spouse a video I had seen on YouTube, and am too lazy to pick up the laptop to show her. So, I just send her an e-mail that she never get’s to. There are so many good things Google has brought to the world, albeit there are also some complete bombs, but I believe that if the entry point is cost effective for more americans than apple’s iTV. Google’s TV, or GTV as I’m calling it, will make the worlds tv experience change.

Not sure if they would have been better off writing an app for a DVR, which would have been a large improvement to any DVR. But we’ll see how this plays out for an already withering Local Broadcast market share. Hopefully I still have a job after the launch. What do you think about GTV (Google TV) and where do you think the world of TV is going?

If only they can come up with a play now button?

I would very much recommend gamefly for any gamer, and will warn you if anything better comes along.
