An Open Letter to President Bush
If you won't come to Vermont, perhaps we'll come to you.
Dear President Bush,
I know you're not much of a reader, so I'll try and keep this short and sweet and avoid using as many multisyllabic words as possible — at the risk of sounding like, well, you.
So, the war thing . . . how's that working out for you, really? According to Fox News, everything is just fine and dandy and we should all go back to shopping and driving big cars with Korean-made magnetic ribbons plastered all over the bumpers. I'm more of a public-radio guy myself, so, as much as I'd like to believe that, I have to admit I'm a bit skeptical. OK, I'm a lot skeptical.
It's not that I don't love America — I do. And I'm pretty keen on freedom, too. In fact, I think most people who live here feel similarly. We just question the wisdom of engaging in a war with no clear objectives, no clear exit strategy and practically no global support. Oh, and there is that pesky issue of finding Osama bin Laden. Hint: He's probably not in Iraq. But that's a topic for another letter.
Today, I'm writing to introduce you to a group of people I'm not sure you're familiar with. Since you signed the orders to send them into harm's way, you really should be. I know you're not big on dissenting opinion, but these men and women actually spent time on the ground fighting your war, and I have to say, they're none too happy with you at the moment.
They call themselves Iraq Veterans Against the War. There are a lot of them and they have some remarkable stories to tell. You like stories, don't you, Sir? You might not like these, I'm afraid. But it's terribly important that you listen.
For example, listen to the story of soldier Tomas Vincent Young, who was paralyzed from the chest down in the same battle that Cindy Sheehan's son, Casey, lost his life. You remember Mrs. Sheehan, don't you?
I could go on, but I fear I might be losing your interest. Let's talk about music, shall we?
Enclosed you will find a copy of a wonderful new compilation called A Line in the Sand.
The disc was put together by an enterprising young woman named Bridget Burns, the founder and owner of a small independent record label here in Vermont called Wyld Stallions Records, LLC. And, yes, sir, that is a reference to the movie Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure — no doubt one of your favorites.In the interest of full disclosure, Ms. Burns is also a co-worker of mine here at Seven Days newspaper. But don't let that distract you from what I'm about to tell you.
You need to give this album a spin. The opener, a slam poetry piece from Andrea Gibson entitled "For Eli" is especially moving. There's a lot of talk about God and prayer, so I imagine that'll pique your interest. It might cause you to reconsider your particular approach to Christianity, though. Just to warn you.
The next track, d_Cyphernauts' "You Got Your War," actually features you quite prominently, Mr. Bush. Do you remember saying, "You're free, and freedom is beautiful. But it will take time to restore chaos and order"? You did, and it's all right here. The song's pretty good, too. I think you'll like it.
After that is a stunning track from a semi-local musician, Moses Atwood, called "Wildflowers." He writes about the toll your war is having on the families involved — American and Iraqi. Since your daughters aren't serving, it might be a good idea for you to listen so you can understand what you're putting these people through.
In fact, the album is chock full of ideas and sentiments that you'd do well to consider, delivered in a variety of styles and genres that should please almost every taste — except the Toby Keith crowd, I suppose.
My personal favorites are Ryan Harvey's Phil Ochs-style condemnation, "Search and Avoid," and the Ochs tribute, "Here's to the State of Things" by Witt Wisebram. You remember Phil Ochs, don't you, Mr. Bush? He was very popular when you were weaseling out of service during the Vietnam War.
Anyway, I know I'm rambling on a bit, but I feel strongly that you could learn a thing or two from this record and the soldiers it benefits. In fact, I'd say you owe it to the soldiers you so cavalierly sacrifice behind the banner of democracy. It's the least you could do — though I realize you've set the bar pretty low.
In closing, I'd like to invite you to the Vermont release of the CD at The Monkey House in Winooski — that's a small town next to Burlington — this Thursday with In This Century, Slug's Revenge and Whiskey Smile. The first two bands feature prominently on the disc. I know you're not too enthusiastic about visiting our fair state — Vermont really is a state; look it up — but I think you'll find we have some very passionate folks with interesting thoughts about your foreign-policy decisions. Since the CD release party is a benefit, we can't put you on the guest list, but I'd be happy to buy you a beer. I wonder if they still have Magic Hat's Jeezum Jim on tap?
Hope to see you there.
Sincerely, Dan Bolles
P.S. If Dick Cheney needs a copy of A Line in the Sand, please don't let him burn yours. He can go online and purchase his own at http://www.wyldstallionsrecords.com. Or, better yet, at any of Vermont's fine independent record stores, should you folks find yourselves in the area.

Heavy rains have bombarded the area in the past 24 hours, saturating the ground and testing the limits of flood mitigation measures.
The evacuations included homes, schools and businesses in Santa Clara and Ivins.
Officials said retention pond was fed by the Tuacahn Wash, and filled up after heavy rains Tuesday morning.
Santa Clara authorities ordered residents and businesses below the pond to evacuate at about noon.
The dike broke about 45 minutes later, just before 1:00 p.m.
Officials said the dike is located along Tuacahn Wash near baseball fields and west of Snow Canyon Middle School in St. George.
Officials said the floodwaters from broken dike were flowing through residential streets.
The flooding and evacuations affected about 25 homes and several businesses in a strip mall.
Between 25 and 30 homes and a dozen businesses were damaged by the flooding.
The Washington County School District reported that Santa Clara Elementary, Snow Canyon High, Snow Canyon Middle would be dismissed at their regular time, while students that live in the Santa Clara valley would be held at school until authorities deemed it safe to transport them home or to shelters.
>>>> PLEASE SEND PICTURES OR VIDEO FROM THE SOUTHERN UTAH FLOODING TO: email@example.com <<<<
Meanwhile, students that live on the Santa Clara Heights, Ivins, Dixie Downs areas will be dismissed and transported home at their regular time.
The district later reported that flooding had disrupted the transportation of students, and suggested that some parents might need to pick up their children.
Parents were asked to check the Washington School District website for up to date information at http://washk12.org/.
A Red Cross reception center was opened for evacuees at the Santa Clara City Building (1st floor) at 2603 Santa Clara Drive. Red Cross officials said they were prepared to transition the center into a shelter, should the need arise.

View Marietta Military History Walking Tour in a larger map |
Veterans, history buffs, and patriots will enjoy this hearty walk through Marietta in discovery of relics, three early military installations and the burial place of Revolutionary War heroes.
This self-guided tour is about three miles (in one direction) of walking along sidewalks, a combination of paved and brick city streets, and a railroad bridge. Other related points of interest have been noted throughout Marietta. (For those who wish to drive for comfort or convenience, most sites but not all can be experienced "from the road".
Additionally, visitors with accessibility issues may find it more convenient to begin their tour at the Armory (3) and continue through the veterans monuments in Muskingum Park (9).)
Begin at the site of Fort Harmar on Marietta's west side (39.243494 N, 81.272781 W), beside Harmar Elementary School and near Harmar Village. Free parking is available one block away on Maple Street.
1 • Fort Hamar
Located at the confluence of the Ohio and Muskingum Rivers, Fort Harmar (1) was the first U.S. military installation in the Northwest Territory. Future general and president George Washington surveyed the land and recommended it for the placement of a fort and permanent settlement. The stockade was established in 1785 to discourage squatters. However, it only served to embolden illegal settlers who mistakenly believed the military presence would prevent attacks from Native Americans. Fort Harmar soldiers battled Indians on two occasions. Today the site of the fort has been taken over by the river. A stone monument designates the place where the fort once stood. Across the Muskingum River, in the parking lot of the Lafayette Hotel, another stone marks the location of yet another fortification. Picketed Point was a place of refuge for early settlers during the Indian War from 1791 to 1795. |
Just north of Fort Harmar, along Fort Street, is a marker commemorating the Lewis and Clark expedition (2).
Following early conflicts with Native Americans, the town of Marietta began to thrive and served as the primary gateway to the Northwest Territory, as evidenced by the arrival of the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1803. A plaque on the Muskingum tells of a letter from Captain Meriwether Lewis to President Thomas Jefferson documenting this leg of his journey. |
Continue north along Fort Street to the Harmar Railroad Bridge. If you are walking, take the bridge to cross the river to Marietta's historic downtown.
2 • Ohio National Guard Armory
The Ohio National Guard Armory (3) was built in 1914 for service in the first war of the twentieth century: World War I. The Armory served as the departure point for soldiers who also fought in World War II and Korea. Currently under reconstruction, the Armory grounds host a number of tributes to veterans. |
The Veterans Walk of Honor (4) is an ongoing project started in 2008 to honor individuals from Washington County who served the nation in the Armed Forces. |
Also, located on the Armory grounds, captured foreign artillery tells the story of the role of local troops in the Pacific theatre during WW2. A Purple Heart monument pays tribute to injured warriors (5). |
Nearby, tucked behind the Veterans Walk of Honor, a war relic from 1898 and a monument commemorate the sacrifices of Marietta soldiers in the Spanish American War (6). |
Continue northeast along Front Street to East Muskingum Park.
3 • Civil War Memorial
A grand memorial in remembrance of the Civil War (7) stands at the corner of Putnam and Front Streets. A statue of a Union soldier boy is surrounded by four captured Confederate parrot cannons. The monument was commissioned and built by Marietta residents, who were split over the conflict with soldiers and loyalties on both sides. |
A pair of eagles perched on sandstone pylons overlooks the entrance to the park. The sculptures were dedicated in 1938 to celebrate the sesquicentennial of Marietta and the Northwest Territory. Further into the park, a much larger work was made by Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor famous for carving four presidents on Mt. Rushmore. The front of "A Nation Moving Westward" (8) depicts three of Marietta's founding fathers, who were Revolutionary War Veterans and members of the Ohio Company. |
Also in the park, a 20th century veterans' monument (9) marks significant milestones in local and U.S. history. |
Continue northeast along Front Street to Wooster, travel northwest for one block and then turn on Second Street. Continue along Second to the Campus Martius Museum.
4 • Campus Martius
The nationally accredited museum tells the story of the area, its military history, and its founding by Revolutionary War veterans including General Rufus Putnam, who led the Ohio Company to settle the Northwest Territory. Campus Martius (10) is also the site of the area's second military installation, constructed for the security of early settlers. |
Continue along Second Street, traveling northeast, to Sacra Via Park. Travel northeast along the park towards Third Street.
5 • Camp Tupper
An elevated green between Third and Fourth Streets and Sacra Via and Warren Street is another place significant to Marietta's part in the Civil War. Camp Tupper (11) was the encampment and training grounds for Ohio's 77th regiment beginning in 1862. |
Take Fourth Street in a southeasterly direction towards Wooster Street. Continue to The Castle.
6 • The Castle
The Castle (12), one of three of Marietta's most important architectural marvels designed by John M. Slocomb, is a stunning example of Gothic Revival style. Construction began on the house in 1855 after Melvin C. Clarke purchased the property for $2,000. Clarke – an attorney and abolitionist - lost his life in the Civil War and the house passed through some of Marietta's most prominent families. In 1992, The Castle was left to the Betsey Mills Corporation to be used for educational and public purposes. Today the premiere attraction of the historic district offers tours, workshops, entertainment, and special exhibits including Civil War relics. |
Continue southeast along Fourth Street to Scammel, heading northeast to Mound Cemetery.
7 • Mound Cemetery
The last stop on our tour is Mound Cemetery (13) – the final resting place of ancients, pioneers, and Revolutionary War veterans. When the pioneers settled Marietta, they chose an ancient burial mound as the site for their cemetery. A staircase on the northern side allows visitors access to the top of the mound. A marker near the mound designates the burial sites of Revolutionary War veterans – more than in any other cemetery. |
8 • Other Points of Interest
In Harmar, a French monument (14) is located at the corner of Gilman and Virginia Streets. Initially, it was the French who wanted to mark the area along the Ohio River for themselves. They buried a lead tablet along the river designating their claim to the land. One such tablet was buried near the current site of a monument to the occasion. The original tablet was found in the early 1800s and was nearly melted down to make lead shot before it was saved and taken to a historical society in Massachusetts. When the government of France dedicated the monument commemorating French explorers an inscription was included thanking the members of the Marietta College Ambulance Unit who served in France from 1917 to 1919. |
The Washington County Courthouse contains a tribute to area soldiers who served in foreign wars.
Additional archival documents for genealogical and historical research can be found at the Washington County Historical Society or the Washington County Genealogy Library. Many more memorials for local soldiers can be found in area cemeteries.
Veterans and their families are always welcome at the VFW (15) and the American Legion (16), which house their own memorabilia.
Unless otherwise noted all sites are private property and should be respected as such.

They last met in the finals in the 2002 UAAP Finals and that time the Ateneo Blue Eagles won the championship beating La Salle's Green Archers. Who ever wins between Ateneo vs La Salle in the Game 1 on Sunday of this season's Finals is no guarantee yet of winning the UAAP crown, according to Norman Black and Franz Pumaren, coach of Ateneo and La Salle, respectively.
Here is the schedule of the games of the UAAP Season 71 Finals – Ateneo vs La Salle at the Araneta Coliseum:

Countries of the Region
American Samoa, Australia, Christmas Island, Cocos, Cook Islands, Fiji, French Polynesia, Gaum, Kiriabati, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Niue, Norfolk Island, Northern Mariana Islands, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Pitcairn, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu, United States, Minor Outlying Islands, Vanuatu, Wallis and Futuna Islands
The network continues to grow with strong recruitment in the Pacific in 2009. WCPA ANZ now has over 300 members.It includes very senior representatives in all sectors – government, academia and NGOs .
The network is primarily activated through two list servers – one a general list server for all members in the Oceania and another which is aimed at linking technical expertise in Australia and New Zealand to assist in the Pacific- the WCPA Pacific Exchange. Through regular newsletters members are also offered opportunities to contribute their expertise on projects, submissions, meetings and conferences and publications.
In 2008/9 members have been actively engaged by assisting with major submissions to the future of the National Reserve System, the National Biodiversity Strategy, organising a members marine meeting and Promoting connectivity conservation through the Linking the Landscapes Summit among many activities.
Priorities in the Region
Securing the systems
WCPA supports and endorses the goals of the CBD(2.6)
"The overall purpose of the programme of work on protected areas is to support the establishment and maintenance by 2010 for terrestrial and by 2012 for marine areas of comprehensive, effectively managed, and ecologically representative national and regional systems of protected areas that collectively, inter alia through a global network contribute to achieving the three objectives of the Convention and the 2010 target to significantly reduce the current rate of biodiversity loss at the global, regional, national and sub-national levels and contribute to poverty reduction and the pursuit of sustainable development, thereby supporting the objectives of the Strategic Plan of the Convention, the World Summit on Sustainable Development Plan of Implementation and the Millennium Development Goals".
Our goal is to be an advocate for the pursuit of strong comprehensive, adequate and representative protected area systems in both the land and sea as the core lands of any conservation effort. Gap anaysis is a critical tool and while some countries in Oceania are well advanced there is scope for sharing information, methodologies and possibly capacity.
Securing Carbon and Building Resilience in the face of climate change Climate Change is a global threat but the Island states of the Pacific and the Ancient unique biodiversity of Australia and New Zealand are at particular risk of major and imminent impacts to natural systems and to human livelihoods, safety and well being.
Protected Areas in all their forms are the most cost effective way of securing biodiversity and all the many benefits and values of nature and natural systems. However these extant ecosystems have a critical role in addressing both climate change mitigation and adaptation. First they are vital sinks of carbon and their health and indeed expansion can secure carbon and therefore mitigate climate change. Also healthy functioning natural systems will provide the key refugia for species to survive as well providing resilience for human well being. '
Islands to Networks'- Connectivity Conservation
WCPA is having a key role in promoting and achieving the international consensus from both Durban and the CBD Programme of Works on Protected areas that biodiversity conservation requires connecting protected areas with other lands under conservation, or 'conservation supportive' management into large-scale ecosystem networks. The imperative to achieve landscape and indeed seascape wide initiatives has become even more urgent in the face of the many challenges protected areas will face from climate change. http://connectivityconservation.org/
Socially inclusive Conservation
Such networks involve a more socially inclusive form of conservation involving many sectors of society. This will involve a broad range of governance types covering the lands of indigenous people, traditional local communities, forestry lands, private land owners involved in sustainable land uses, tourism operators, local governments, private trusts and corporations. Again our region is rich with communities and indigenous population with rich stewardship cultures.
WCPA will strongly support the involvement of such communities and respect for their cultures and rights.
Marine Conservation
Expansion of conservation in the marine environment is a clear international direction which WCPA in the region can promote, especially the CBD goal of a comprehensive adequate and representative system of marine protected areas by 2012. The Pacific is home to two of the most inspiring international responses to large scale marine conservation, The Coral Triangle and the Micronesian Challenge.
We also support the concept of a large marine sanctuary in the Coral Sea.
Building the Conservation Community
WCPA needs to broaden the constituency of both support for, and active involvement in, conservation through building partnerships and alliances. Social sustainability is increasingly understood as a fundamental need. In all Oceania nations there are strong indigenous and local communities and major tourism industries who, in both cases, are key and logical partners in conservation. Sustainable agricultural and landowner initiatives are also emerging as key issues.
Management Effectiveness
WCPA has already established a powerful Task Force on Management Effectiveness. The excellent work done by the Task Force could be disseminated more widely through the enhanced regional WCPA network. The management of invasive species could be a particular focus given its increasing toll on regional terrestrial and marine biodiversity and potentially serious impacts on both indigenous people and tourism. A major product could be the preparation of best practice guidelines to states and protected area agencies on the most effective means of managing this highly significant and multi faceted threat.
Sustainable financing
The area of sustainable financing is a critical bottom line in achieving all other goals. WCPA will seek to identify, promote and communicate innovative ways of sustainably financing protected areas.

However the multiplayer or zombie mode may be, I thought the campaign was worthwhile for any fan of shooters and stories. As modern CoD goes, it focuses on cinematic moments and an overall cinematic presentation, as expected -- but hey, if it's done right, I like it. The campaign alone isn't worth the price tag, but it may be worth renting.
Of course, it's still a "Hollywood campaign", where you can definitely see the money put into it while at the same time not being as equally impressed. A lot of money, indeed, but it's not that much more original, not that polished, overall not that great. One of those. Has its holes, quirks and annoying moments. It's mostly about shooting, moving, shooting, moving and shooting, cutscenes, but if you can enjoy that, you will enjoy it. The campaign, that is. Your choices aren't meaningful, as you'd expected, but the game is only better for them. Got me to play it a 2nd time, for what it's worth. Yet, just to be clear, I gotta say they really should have done with more mastery, for all the money put into it. There's love-hate AAA titles like Blizzard's, which I will always vouch for at least for the mastery in their crafting, then there's this kind of such titles where there's much more money than talent or mastery. It's good, maybe very good, but not "done just right".
One thing I definitely count towards not being just right: the last cutscene sequence, after all the credits. I don't know if it plays when skipping the credits. The concert parody? That was ridiculous. Thought it might be amusing, at first, but when those "virtualized" music celebrities show up, whoever the hell they are, I could tell it was gonna be bad... and it was. What idiocy... I find "hilarious stupidity" to be indeed be hilarious when done right, but that... was just rather stupid and awkward. Make me mentally facepalm multiple times and my skin crawl, absurd as it was. Tsch... heh... what a fluke. The devs must've wanted to do something special with that, but hell if it doesn't feel nothing more than a fluke.
surprisingly good! credit were credit is due , never play the online so just giving my opinion based on the single player. Main story was good with some decent twists and nice character development. really liked the time traveling sections. Not a big fan of all the "drone" futuristic shit or driving action set pieces (just pointless and belong in a another game). Really good villain if not a bit stereotypical and the choice system adds a little bit of re-playability. Overall , miles better than black ops 1 and MW3 combined ,pleasantly surprised
The Call of Duty games would be much better off if they had LONGER single-player campaigns.
I mean, with 4-5 hour campaigns, why do they even bother putting it in at all?
If they don't care, just make the CoD games multiplayer-only games, since that seems to be what everyone cares about these days.
I really want to play the CoD games, but I'm not into multiplayer at all, so it doesn't feel worth it to waste my money on the games with 4-5 hour campaigns.
Too bad.
i didn't play the first black ops but i really enjoyed this game, i even think its better MW 2 & MW 3 my reason are more focus into campaign mode, better gameplay , and more innovative elements. not too fond of the zombie aspect but a great game all the same.
Leauge Play is nothing new. Ranked playlists have existed ever since Online FPS play has hit the consoles. The strike missions were one of my least favorite missions of the campaign. The AI is too week often commiting fratercide or simply running in front of the enemy or pass them to get to a check point. It could have done with more refinement for merging an RTS with an FPS but it felt more like a cheap knock off from Battle Field 2 on Xbox. However the fact is that it looks like this game was ment to only last a year. As with Activision trying to milk Treyarch most are afraid that they will run a good franchise to the ground.
The worst COD game to be released to date. It really is a crock of ****. Multiplayer has No dedicated servers, The worst lag compensation ever seen and just flat, dull run and gun gameplay. There is no strategy involved and no skill needed. Just simply run and gun. If you haven't brought this yet then well done on saving yourself however much it is where you are. So much for the COD innovation crap treyarch were spouting before release. This is MW3 with the main difference being......well, there is no difference. Lucky it got an 8 because if GS were to review it again now they'd probably give it the 5 it's worth.
How does the zombies mode suck? I don't get Gamespot reviews anymore. Don't even know why I bother watching them.
the visible hitmarkers in the campaign ruined the single player for me. I am not stupid, I can tell when I shot an enemy dead from treyarch's beautiful blood and gore effects. hitmarkers should be left for multiplayer only(even there they look corny IMO). Is there a cheat code to turn off the hitmarkers?
Could someone give me the title of the intro movie song? The one with the jung girl who gets crippled and the boy that tries to help her.
8 is not a good score. Waiting for that 10 to come out, which will prob be GTA. Prefer this over Halo. More realistic. Will wait to buy this. These shooters campaigns are too short.
Nine make etter shooter than call of duty gamespot is fan service to craptivision :)))
i like the game only downfall is i keep losing gamesaves and have to start from the beginning
This game felt like the First ACTUAL COD sequal in a very long time. COD4 got me into the series again, MW2 kept me in the multiplayer, but this game finally felt like a real sequal! they changed things and they were good changes. i love the campaign so much and how much replay value it holds. this is what a real game should be. MUCH better than halo 4
Game is actually quite possibly the worst game i have evr played. The 1st one was good and I actually quite enjoyed it...this is literally the same thing and it takes place in the future like wtf? i played a quarter of the campaign and the online was no fun....if u ask me....a waste of 60 bucks....this shit gets a 3.5 and deserves no higher....i want my money back.
I was really ready to hate this game. Bought the game thinking id regret it and it actually blew me away they finally got it right. Anyone who complains about the single player is obviously just a troll whoever bought this game hoping for a good single player is obviously a clown and theyre opinion shouldnt be taken seriously anyways. The multiplayer is fantastic, hitboxes are nice and small certainly not a noob friendly game. There isn't too much death from above.
Haha gamers are such whiny little nerds. I go in the comment section and all I see is "blah blah blah COD is so crappy blah blah blah." Aren't these comments supposed to be directed towards the video? Instead all I see are a bunch of idiots shouting their obviously predetermined negative bias about this game for...oh yeah, no reason whatsoever
The Resistance fall of man style X hitmarkers during campaign, made the campaign feel less immersive than past COD campaigns. X Hitmarkers are cool for MP but make them invisible in the campaign, FPS gamers are not stupid, we can tell from Treyarch's beautiful blood effects when we hit a digital soldier. Also the campaign on veteran was far too easy and short. This game had so much potential but they dumbed it down so much.
@jordan119 Well said. Moderate perspectives on this series are sorely lacking.
Suppose you can call the villain stereotypical, sure -- but at least modernly so. Definitely not an old cliché type. He's original enough and, maybe it's biasing me a bit but, I liked him for the most part and would've rather fought on his side, considering reality.
@b0sse yeah but the game usually has a high trade in value so if you bought it brand new for £40 (UK) then you would get about £25 back , which is £15 for a solid 5 - 9 hour (if playing on veteran) single player experience , good value for money if you ask me
@StarWolf84 I think both are good games. Competition between game producers will generate better and better games :)
@mediarays I just bought Ghost Recon Future Soldier (still waiting for it to arrive)--I am assuming that's the game you meant. How good is it?
@jollyjoel23 I have a highend comp, but still play CoD4 online regularly. Can't go wrong there. It is the best multi player in the series. Do any of the other CoD games have dedicated servers?
@Arian9 What do you mean to say? That single player does not matter any more? I play a lot of online, but also highly value developers like Crytek, THQ, Visceral Games, and others who produce solid single player campaigns. If you are merely pointing out that most games have lame single player these days--well, sadly that is true.
@hemp_ninja Kinda like how you're spouting your predetermined negative bias about gamers, right? That's a nice little generalization you have going there.
I just find it amusing how you accuse others of commenting about the game instead of the video, when all you're doing is commenting about other people... instead of the video. Not only that, you accuse others of being whiny little nerds when all you're doing is whining yourself, which quite effectively puts you in the same category as those you are discriminating against.
Basically, the bottom line is that your comment is one massive self-contradiction.
@Sp3ncerK not really. treyarch's games are more brutal than IW games. With IW games you don't see arms and legs getting ripped off, no chopping off heads, and the guns don't paint enemies red like in treyarch's games.
@duran_gabriel @StarWolf84 both games are shit. The multiplayer is the only thing good about either.
@chessmaniac @mediarays You will love it.The graphics are very nice and the gameplay is addictive.Especially the gun mechanism is great.

Wish List: Maurices
Being on a budget is not working for me! Look at what I found at Maurices! Darn e-window shopping! I'm definitely in the mood for coral and denim. Especially, the cutoff shorts. Which I can probably do at home…hmmm…lightbulb! This budgeting is inspiring DIY projects. I guess that's a good thing. Right?
