Left for Dead 2

So Once again I'm late to the gaming table and I have just started playing Left for Dead 2 about a week ago. I liked the team aspect of the game, but far to often I was left wishing that most of the people in my team were computers and not real. The game would go smothly untill real people would start to join. I think I have just hade bad luck, but the people who would join my game were horible.

The game itself didn't seem like it was much of an update from the first one. I think it should have just been a downloadable update to the first Left for dead game.

I don't have much else to say about this game other than it was fun for about a week and then I was back to Modern Warfare 2. later gamers!

Router Blues

So the other day my 5 year old router was on it's death bed. My Internet usage wasn't affected, but my ability to play games online had come to a halt. I never really realized how much of an online gamer I am. I didn't feel like playing any single player game. I only wanted to play some Gears of War 2 with my brother, EQ2 with classmates or maybe some World of Warcraft with my old shipmates. I want to play fallout 3, but I just can't get over playing games online with real people. I could have ran a cable directly to from my modem to my computer but I decided to wait until I fixed the problem. To feel productive I decided to work on my 3DS Max (3D modeling software) homework. That keep me busy for a little bit.
I have replaced the router with a new Belkin router with a nice screen that gives me a bunch of updates like bandwith usage and how many pc's are using my wireless internet. I love it. Well I just wanted to give a little update. bye for now and back to GEARS OF WAR 2!

Chainsaw = easy

I'd like to start by saying I don't usually complain about weapons in games being "NEWB" weapons. Back in "Gears of War I", I didn't complain about the chainsaw. Now in "Gears 2" the chainsaw is extreamly NEWB friendly, it almost can't be stoped. I thought "Gears of War I" was pretty balanced with the weapons system, but now everything is tiped in favor of the chainsaw bandits online. Well, maybe it'll get patched. :(
