    Chad-

  • Travis Stewart

    yeah but the video taping stuff is all I have left and I want to win. what if there is a tie?

  • LordCancer

    wow I’d never played a Cod game before and after 40 hours of no sleep, I found all the soldiers had most emails drafted and ready to go and was filming the cod endings when I discovered how much Cod sucks.

    I had text ready to go saying why cod was so great and you know its not true, cod sucks, I ended up playing portal and episode 2 on my friends computer vs trying to beat cod.

    what a lame game series, and now I wont get to share my landmark picture with you chad it was classic I’m from utah so you can only imagine! haha

    good luck to the rest of you, any of you that seriously played any of those games to the ends deserves the prize.

    I sure as hell hope cod 4 is half mite more fun to play then the previous 3 entries especially for the winner who jumped through the hoops.

  • Travis Stewart

    I’ve jumped through alot of hoops and now all I need is the cord to my stinken camera and then I am good to go. all I have left is the video taping.

  • LordCancer

    I did some preliminary sketches for the map took some pictures I was planing on stopping by the army navy to throw on some gear and snap a picture but I went to my friends cause he had all 3 cod games and wow those are so not for me…I jumped through a few hoops but damn, hope you fine your cord man as for me screw it! lmfao

    if anything this experience has taught me an appreciation for my tv, how the hell we ever played on old 480i 4/3 image tvs is beyond me.

    RCA and picture quality…. HA!!!!

    I love my tv and I’m so glad to be home with my precious!

  • Travis Stewart

    yeah I was supposed to go to my friends who has all 3 of them today but he was with his GF or something. and yeah try playing Command and Conquer 1 for the Playstation 1 it’ll blow your mind how crappy the graphics are. I bought it on ebay remembering playing it when I was younger and laughed when I put it in my PS2. I still remembered some of the codes it was pretty funny

  • LordCancer

    lol man, cod though, I can’t stand the scripted events and the nazi infinite respawn until you trip around the environment and activate the next event…oh my god! I don’t even like ww2 games and today was the first one I played since some crappy medal of honor game on ps1… I should have known better…. boredom got the best of me.

    I bought some ps1 rts game that was so ugly I its name was scarred from my memory only the horror of wierd pixelated weirdy things running around….

    some games do not stand the test of time at all…

  • Travis Stewart

    haha all I know is I’m going to be beating the COD series tonight!

  • LordCancer

    nice man, those all night marathons are fun!

    I was just going to use my friends saves play on easy and put the nail in that coffin, but wow, I didn’t like playing it at all.

    driving the new vehicle in HL episode 2 made up for my miss step, that was alot of fun plus I love the Combine pulse Rifle and the Cross bow those are two of the funnest weapons in any game to play with.

  • Travis Stewart

    thats what I am doing too but I want to get them all done tonight Twizler already has stuff on youtube haha I’m falling behind and he already has an Xbox! let the poor 18 year olds win it

  • Bill Carson

    This is gonna be so kool!

  • Twizlex

    What happens if there’s a tie? I mean, I’m pretty sure I’m not going to win, but I was just curious.

  • Twizlex

  • Travis Stewart
