Civil War

So is Modern Warfare 2 pretty much the same as Black Ops, in terms of gameplay and online play?

Got Black Ops about 10 days ago. Got to level 50 and finally got to the point where I had a positive ratio pretty much everytime. Top 3 scorer usually. Then I made the mistake of going right into prestige mode. Now I completely suck again trying to kill people with the shitty ass M16. From 15 kills/5 deaths to 5 kills/15 deaths. I really should have taken my time at level 50 and had some fun before going back to being terrible so quickly.

BTW 2nd chance people fucking suck. Not much worse in that game then killing someone, they flail away shots from their ass and luckily kill you, then they get revived. Shit is weak.

I would suggest.... if you are playing a map titled "Jungle," well there is only one song that really should be played there. And it's not Shackler's.

Hell, half the times that map gets selected someone yells WELCOME TO THE FUCKING JUNGLE, YOU'RE GONNA DIEEEEE..... Pretty much the only thing that I like about that map.

just saw it, that was the most random south park episode ive ever seen, made no sense at all.

It only made sense only if you follow college athletics and video games.

EA Sports uses college players likeness in its video games. For Example, if Michael Jordan was still in college, EA Sports would have a basketball game where North Carolina had a 6'6 black shooting guard, the correct weight, he'd be bald, he'd look like him, correct home town, he'd wear #23, correct age, and he'd be the best player in the game. The same for every other roster position. They just don't put the real names in.

So EA Sports makes a ton of money, the universities make money off of it, but the real people who are put in the game make nothing. South Park also pointed out that these universities can provide better facilities for their players with this money. But overall it was about people taking advantage of college players, and helping them a little, but not enough in terms of how much money they are making.

And for some reason they wanted to add Slash to it and say he will do anything for money. (And I think by comparing him to Santa Claus, and say he is not real, they were implying he is fake)

I didn't say it wasn't funny. It was actually a pretty tame attack on a celebrity for South Park standards.

No Axl mention. Just a Guns N' Roses mention.

They were ripping him, saying he will play anywhere for money (malls, kids bday parties, etc...)

They linked him to a show about the NCAA because they wanted to have him play at halftime. ie the horrendous Super Bowl halftime.

I dunno, I hated him at first but now like his show. I find myself agreeing with him more then not. I get the hate though, he can definitely come across as an arrogant asshole sometimes. But to me he is one of the few guys that isn't afraid to piss people off. And he doesn't just say things to be different and piss people off (like a Skip Bayless), the guy just says his opinion, and if you don't like it he doesn't care.

I used to enjoy Mike & Mike, they started out good but turned into soft ESPN PC puppets that don't have the balls to EVER go against the majority. One very tiny, and one very large vagina talking about sports.... no thanks.

Back on topic, it's still 50/50. Vote for GN'R!

I fucking got it to work!!!!!!!

go to your browser preferences and set it to use a proxy. put in IP: 81.144.176.136 and port 80 and it will think your from the UK so it will allow you to watch the video!

Where do you find browser preferences?

Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections tab > LAN Settings button > Check the "Use a proxy server..." box and enter the IP and port hitmanhart408 posted > OK

Should be working now...

Just did that but it's still not working. Thanks anyways.

I just did tools -> options -> advanced -> Connection settings -> entered ip and port

I fucking got it to work!!!!!!!

Really f'n appreciate the tip!!!

Nothing other then I hope

(fingers crossed)

COOL SERVERS BRO

Server really does need some work.

I know turning off avatars and sigs and such really make boards run smoother. Would suck to eliminate them, but that would be a lot better then not being able to discuss significant GN'R news when it happens.

Interesting night.

I'm one of the people that think you should know what to expect when goin' to a GN'R show. If you gotta problem with how Axl and co. do things, and have always done things, don't go or stfu. By now you should know what you are gettin' into when purchasing a ticket.

I do agree that festivals are a different story though as many are just there to hear some music and not just there for GN'R. Pretty cool finish though, made the best of it I guess.

Whatever, first US East Coast date announced (fingers crossed), I'm buyin' 20 tickets.

this melody inside of me

still searches for solution

agree, always my favorite

doesnt make any sense, some may feel chinese democracy failed commercially, but CDII is basically guaranteed to go top 1-5 in US, Europe, SA, everywhere basically. regardless of CD's numbers the next one's a guaranteed hit compared to the record company's usual prospects.

Agreed. No business is going to turn down money. They could spend zero on promotion and it'll still be top 10 on the charts worldwide.

Only thing that would make sense to me is UMG thinks they can make more money off it later then they can now.

They simply aren't just gonna say "new GNR album, nah we pass."

That is if this is true, and that's a big if.

By the way, I don't see any Chinese Democracy references on the Europe Tour Poster 2010, while the posters of the other legs of this tour had many. The poster is only full of references to the classic Guns N' Roses symbols, skulls, Guns N' Roses.

You mean this poster, with the new logo and Chinese Democracy stars all over it?

It's in the rumor I found thread

If true, the only thing that I can hope for is the record company is delaying it for good reasons. As in really wants to make sure it's done right this time.

Might be a flop in terms of it being a Guns album, but it's not like it wouldn't sell more then about 90% of the rest of their clients right?

I'm just saying it seems like bad business to say no to an album, any album, from anyone, that would be top ~5 on album charts around the world.

They're on tour right now, you'd think that would be a pretty good time to release an album

Might be a dumb question.... but why would UMG not be interested in a new Guns album?

I wanna say the current one, but it can't really be confirmed until they make their own album
