Conan Show Typos 3 and 4 (2 in one week)

    I spotted two DirecTV/TBS typos in the onscreen guide this week for Conan.  The first on Monday they misspelled guest Kaley Cuoco as "Kaley Cuocol."












The next one just two days later is simply a misspelling of performs as "perfroms."  I always find it mildly humorous when I see typos like these on the onscreen guide.  Click on one of the labels below this post to find other related posts on this.

Battlefield 3 (beta) Follow-Up Review

   As I was first playing this demo I liked it because it was different and fun, however the more I played it the more I found I didn't really like the game as much.  The game has a slower pace but it feels like it wants to be faster than it is when it shouldn't be.  Unlike MAG where reviving teammates is almost a core aspect of the game, Battlefield 3 doesn't really emphasize this as much as it could or should.  The biggest disappointment with this game (and game series) is the small squad size, only four, this means I can only connect and talk to four friends or teammates.  Sure I can be in the game or team as all my friends but this limits the fun.  By comparison MAG has a squad size of eight and Call of Duty has a team size of at least six and in the lobby one can hear and talk to everyone else. 
    I have made a decision on what game to buy on release day and that is Modern Warfare 3.  The more I watch youtube videos of MW3 the more fun it looks.  I just hope it is as much fun to me as Black Ops has been, Black Ops has been and still is my favorite Call of Duty yet.  I have preordered the hardened edition (which include one year elite membership as well as some other add-ins) on Amazon which has no sales tax and $0.99 release-day delivery so I should have release day without leaving home.  Besides, I tried Best Buy and Gamestop and they were both sold out or hardened edition preorders, but this Amazon option turns out to be better after all. 

Battlefield 3 (Beta) Review

   Just like MAG the new public beta for Battlefield 3 give me the feeling of attacking or defending.  I get a real sense of "kill confirmed" fragging enemy players playing this game.  The one map available doesn't feature vehicles to drive which would've been nice.  It is however very varied with the bright park in the first section and dark-lit subway tunnels in the next. Defending is naturally easier but attacking gives an accomplishment feel because you know it's tougher.  For a public beta (or demo as I see it) it is running very smoothly, I have seen no player lag or skipping which is what I was expecting with so much interest in this game.  It is a fun game and could be a very good change of pace from Black Ops. 

The Win is Most Important

   From my youtube video's description:  I planted the bomb and called my napalm strike over it. The enemy can clearly see me die by flames yet still ventures out into flames to lose.

Trophy Level 10 Achieved

   I was playing combat training in Black Ops and I reached rank ten giving me a trophy for this. I was at trophy level 9 - 99% and this trophy took me to trophy level 10 - 0%.
   I still haven't got the LBP 2 platinum yet I only need one more online trophy. Now I am curious how much percentage a platinum gives at this level.

Starhawk Officially Announced

   The long awaited sequel to Warhawk finally revealed on the internet today named Starhawk.  No release date given but it safe to assume sometime in 2012. 

Blake Griffin Actor?

   Conan's guest is NBA rookie of the year and now actor Blake Griffin.  Apparently the person writing the info card for this show doesn't know who he is.
