Why the Taliban in the Medal of Honor is a non-issue.

Ok, let me start this off by saying I have nothing but respect and admiration for the American soldier (or sailor, marine, or airman, as the case may be).  I’m working on a Masters Degree in Military History, with my focus on American military history.  Reading about the experiences of American soldiers throughout history has [...]

Induced Rage: Rogue Warrior

It’s been a bit slow for us on the rage front.  Due to a combination of school work (for me), regular work (for Squid), and the flood of business for his gay escort business (Mack), as well as few games or scandals to get excited about, we haven’t had a great deal to provide you, [...]

I wish I knew how to quit you….

So it’s been a while since I posted, I know, and I’m sorry for that. There’s just been a lot going on. I’ve had real-life commitments, there’s been general laziness, but the key factor for my lack of communication is I’ve just been really busy gaming. Now, I know it may seem a bit contradictory that I would be too busy gaming to post on my gaming blog. To those who feel this way, I ask you this. Have you ever been too busy being a douche to drop a post on www.ImABigOlDouche.com?

Section 8: PS3 Review

I know the term “hardcore” is thrown around a lot in the gaming community, often with negative connotation, but there’s really no other way to describe Section 8 other than hardcore.  It eats other “hardcore” first person shooters for breakfast. Any seasoned FPS gamer with countless hours of Halo and Modern Warfare play under their belt, [...]

Yahoo! points out that online language is offensive

Yahoo! Games has an article up today about the offensive language that many online gamers use when shooting one another and generally causing death and destruction.  Lest you think that I’m going to tear the article apart, I will say up front that it actually presents opposing viewpoints and gives them proper weight, and seems [...]

How Modern Warfare 2 fanboys are going to ruin video games

Apparently, 2.5 million people purchased that stupid map pack for MW2.  That’s right, Activision has made over $37 million already for 5 new maps that should probably have been free.  At the very least, the two remakes should have been because I’m pretty sure the game engine used in Modern Warfare 2 is only an [...]

MW2 Map Pack: It’s just like the REAL Stimulus Package!

This goes along with my article from last week.  In that article, I discussed Modern Warfare 2′s apparent failure to keep the player base occupied and coming back for more as time goes on.  Well, Infinity Ward was concerned that such a thing was either going to happen or happening already, because they will soon [...]

Modern Warfare 2: How many players?

Tom’s Hardware has a post in which one Ryan Bowling (Edit: His name is Robert.  Tom’s reported his name incorrectly) at IW claims that MW2 has 25 million unique users.  Yes folks, 25 million.  The subtitle for this little gem of a mini-article is “Modern Warfare 2 is the major game for online gamers.”  First off, don’t [...]

Team Fortress 2: Engineer Unlocks still up in the air

Click to Enlarge

For those TF2 fans out there, thought I’d share the latest news from over at Valve regarding their last round of unlocks to be released. All classes in the game have received their new weapons and gadgets save for one class, the Engineer, and the developers over at Valve have been hard at work for [...]
