There used to be  company, called Infinity Ward....

They brought to us, a type of FPS that breathed new life into the WW2 shooter.

People liked it.

Then they decided "We're going to do something that's rare.... We're going to do a MODERN First person shooter, and it'll be good! Not only that, we're going to revolutionize our IP with our Perk system."

People liked it.

2 years latter, Infinity Ward gave us yet another game.....

Except, this game, relied more on gimmicks.... not talent....

"Buy our game! We've got different guns this time! We'll even throw in some gimmick Collectors editions."

And we went for it... Because if the previous games were good, how could they potentially screw this one up?!

Oh.. if only I could warp back in time, and kick the crap out of my past self for such foolish ideas...

You'll all remember, that I released a post about the server issues of Modern Warfare 2. I was not happy then...

I'm even less happy now...

Since it's release, MW 2 has been a roller coaster of FAIL.

We haven't even hit the Half year mark... and we're up to patch Version 1.09.....

1.freaking-0-f*ing-9....

And people wonder why Uncharted 2 got so many GotY awards.

Because IW insisted that it knew what it was doing, and knowing that we'd be the good faithful little FPS fanatics that we are, they said "Screw you" to doing any sort of Beta, what so ever.

So it's been a long list of "Such and such is Overpowered (some warranted, some not), Exploits galore, cheaters, Nuke/HS boosters, Etc etc....

Treyarch sprung back from the disaster known as CoD 3, with WaW, a Solid WW2 version to CoD 4: MW1. It was fun, the constant support from Treyarch kept you interested! And yet, Treyarch was the one constantly having a "Kick me!" sign placed on their back.

It's quite sad really....

But then there's the Server issue....

12 people or less, and you suffer some of the worst lag online gaming has to offer. and that's not even factoring in cheaters with their lag switches.... And that's provided you don't get disconnected from the lobby, or get a bad host, or the game doesn't crash.

Compare that to the Public Beta tested "M.A.G." from Zipper interactive, which host 256 player matches with little to ZERO lag.... No cheating thanks to a robust, constantly updated anti-cheat software. Oh, and people actually have to use Teamwork and strategy to win games.

Guess which game I'm enjoying more right now? 

Yep... MAG.... and unlike MW2... it's actually built on solid gaming....

Oh I still play MW2... but not because it's really fun... as some are saying.. it's like a bad addiction, you know it sucks,  you know it's a crappy piece of garbage, but because their's enough achievements to keep unlocking, you keep going.... but it's not really fun...

 Infinity Ward,  I suggest your change your name to "Inferior Ward"

Ow......

Yes... OW


F***ING OW!

Guess who mistook some white stuff on some steps as snow, when in reality, it was ice this morning?

If you guessed "Razgriez" .... well.. yes...

 Luckily using all of my "Elite Evasion skills" (Also known as "HOLY CRAP I'M FALLING! BRACE FOR IMPACT!") I protected my self from possible head injury....

....In exchange, I injured my left ankle and busted up my left hand....


Damn it....

Oh but it get's better, because I have to go into work in about an hour... and stand in one spot for many more.....

*CENSORED*

I hate today.....

Alternate Title: The 2009 "Dr. Gregory House "Idiots" awards



Yes folks, Razgriez Industries is ready to present to you (with a bit of blatant tail coat riding on star power...) the 2009 Razgriez Firing line Awards in Human Intelligence!
So let's just jump right into them!

Now, these choices were selected by a Non-bias panel.... No.. settle down Global Warming Alarmist.. I'm not referring to Phil Jones and the members of East Anglia. When I say a "Non-bias Panel" I really mean.. oh someone like.. me.

Now... let's just jump right into it all, shall we?

Number 10: The Twilight Series-
I know I know.. I'm just a series hater. But hey, how else can I describe one of the most lamest series that preys on a cheesy Teeny Bopper Fanfic style romance. Turns out from sources, it's the exact same story line, in all 4 books, just a new monster boyfriend each time....

Number 9: HollyWeird and Roman Polanski: 
Hollywood is not at all unusual for having a bunch of strange folks running about... but amongst the blunders, the drug abuse, and whats not. the biggest issue of 2009 seems to be Roman Polanski. It seems the Law caught up to Mr. Polanski on an old Child rape case. Except.. good ol' Activist HollyWeird, which LOVES to champion "Womens rights"... was quick to defend him?!?! o.0

What. The. Hell?!?!
Oh right... I forgot, Hollyweird get's rights granted above and beyond the constitution and laws, because they are special.

Petitions were signed, and one celeb after another came out to remind everyone, that apparently, you don't have to be really smart to be an overpaid idiot. Such as Whoppi Goldberg's infamous "It wasn't "rape-rape" line. But one of my most "Favorite" lines came from Natalie Portman, who defended Mr Roman Polanski, and then turned right around latter on, to attribute the idea of eating meat being equal to committing Rape.....

Errrr Mixed messages anyone? o.0

8. The False Death Statistical that just wouldn't die, and it's users.
44,000 was a popular number to sling about amongst the liberals as  a reason to pass Obamacare, and it still is. The problem? Turns out the number was received by a biased, and weighted survey, that asked participants at the beginning if they had Health Care or not. If they died at all during the Survey period, and had stated they didn't have Health insurance in the beginning, they were listed as it being caused due to lack of health care.

7. The Milk Carton Congress Members
During the Summer recess. Congress members came home, thinking they'd be cheered for their movement on Health Care "reform" (I use that term loosely) 

Problem is... they arrived home to see people, a rather bit angry, and for good reasons. More money being spent that we don't have, and illegal mandates.

Which led many Liberals in Congress to all of the sudden Cancel their town halls, or have pre screened questions, limiting only to Groups friendly to the Congress member, or Doing "Teleconference Town hall" filled with people all giving soft ball questions or brown nosing
This led to many Americans going "Dude, where's my Representative/Senator?"

6. So much for "Dissent is Patriotic"
Remember how up to 2008, Dissent was Patriotic? Well apparently it's not any more. Good ol' Nancy who often said this during the Bush years made an immediate 180, and began criticizing peaceful demonstrations. Janet "The system worked" Napolitano of the DHS, had her people releasing a document on the rising danger of "Right Wing groups" That went as far as to question our serving men and women in the armed forces, as well as concerned citizens going to peaceful demonstrations.

5. General Mcwho? Sorry, but the President has more "pressing" matters with Mr. Sterns of the SEIU
You're nation is at war. The guy YOU tapped to lead the charge in Afghanistan is alerting you that Al-Qaeda and Taliban forces are resurgent. So what do you do? You hold weekly meetings with a guy who's got some shady dealings, and crazy union members attacking, even going so far as to biting off the fingers of protesters, rather than the General who's got some rather more pressing matters.

As if this Obama Blunder wasn't enough. It took him MONTHS to even finally agree to send more troops over... Which leads to our Number 4 spot

4. The Nobel "Lotto" commitee:
Talk about turning an international award into a joke.  After the egg on their faces for Awarding Al Gore a medal for creating just another Fictional Disaster flick which advocated apparently flooding at the 250+ Inch level (The UN at the time predicted about 15-17 Inch rise) and Global Warming being a cause of Nuclear explosions (o.0?)  The Nobel Peace Prize Committee really stunned the world, by giving an award to.... President Barack Obama!

Awarded to him for Achieving: Nothing.

Wait... what?!?!

Surely he did Something Nobel worthy (and I mean pre-Nobel confusing it self with the Oscars)

End AIDS or Cancer?
No

End conflicts in Somalia and Sudan?
No

Created a perpetual motion engine, naming it the GN Drive. Forming an unconventional military group known as Celestial Being that pilots Awesome Mechs made completely out of bad assery that fights to end war?
Negative. (*sad face*)

Yes that's right, according to the Nobel Committee itself. It was not given to Obama for actually achieving anything, but for the supposed "Potential" of him achieving something worthwhile...

Well damn... if I won the lotto, i could donate more money to charities as well! That's Potential too!

3. ACORN
How not to get on the U.S. Tax Payer's friendly side in one step

Get caught via Undercover video offering freely to assist a "Pimp" and "hooker" setting up a brothel, and illegal sex trafficking of underage girls from foreign nations, in a real scenario, are likely kidnapped or tricked as a way to get into the U.S.. On the U.S. Tax payer's money no less. AND to top it off, how to commit tax evasion... Hmmm.. maybe Geitner got some lessons from them... err on the tax evasion part that is.

Smooth one there idiots.

But the kicker? When multiple ACORN employee's, let alone the foundation it self began to claim that they weren't tricked at certain offices, only to have Andrew Breitbart's website, post another one of the videos up proving those notions false. Talk about making yourself look like an ass

But don't worry everyone. ACORN just did an internal investigation of it self, that, surprise, absolves them of any wrong doing!

2. The Democrat Congress.

Talk about ignorance. Displaying to a the world a "Do as I Say, Not as I do" hypocrisy at the drop of a tax payers dime. To top it all off, despite their own voters going "Now wait a minute! Slow down there" they chose to ignore them. Hope you're getting ready to get the boot from you're seats

AND FINALLY

1. The "Winner" of the 2009 Razgriez Firing Line awards is: THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA.

Yes that's right folks, surprised that I didn't pick Obama? Don't be. I was already prepared for the worst, and I complain about Obama on an almost daily. Running constant interference for Obama, smearing anyone who raised honest concerns or issues about his policies, as well as Democrats.

Luckily, With Radio, TV, and the Internet availible, we aren't just limited to the News paper and evening news. And found out the real story....

The MSM managed to run cover for somethings, but in the end, bad attitudes, and smearing of the American public cost quite a few of them their jobs... The latest causality of failure to report the news? Keith Olbermann, who's show has devolved into little more than an angry, sad pathetic little man advocating violence against any one who disagrees with him, and some of the worst name calling  around...

It's almost like watching a 3 yr old child throwing a vile and violent temper tantrum at 8PM every week night

Could British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, please explain a few things....

As you recall, Dec. 8th, was the day we were all DOOMED! Because of Global Cooling Warming Climate Change. Because 50 days earlier from that date, Mr. Brown, informed us all that we HAD to do something about it, or else we'd all be roasting on an Earth sized Fireball or some other 2012-ish dooms day conspiracy (That too is is BS as well)

Well... my count down, hit the "dreaded" 0 Days, 0 Hours, 0 Minutes, and 0 Seconds mark a few days ago....And.... We're not all dead...

As a matter of fact, you want to know what's the latest big climate related death news? 10+ people across the U.S. are dead because of HYPOTHERMIA.

In case you're an idiot, that's when you're core body temp DROPS beyond the minimal safe threshold. Read: you're too cold, and need to get warm.

It's not even Winter yet here in the Northern Hemisphere, there was SNOW, last Saturday where I live. Tonight, when i went into work at 4 PM, it was just holding at 38F Degrees. When I left work, 4 hours latter, it was at 32F Degree's (0 Degree's Celsius)

Although, one Doomsday did technically happen for Global Warming Alarmist... ClimateGate.

in case you live under a rock, or are a denier of the global warming deniers, let me break it down real simply...

Turns out the "Science" and "Data" used to claim that it's all human kind's fault for this so called warming, either was A. Deleted by the East Anglia CRU, illegally, after a Freedom of Information Act request. or B. Never existed.

Mean while, big wigs at the U.N. are now claiming that "Global Warming, may cause some areas of the planet to cool"

I must be going insane, because, when I learned the word "Global" back in... somewhere during my K through 3rd grade years, it implied THE ENTIRE FREAKING WORLD!

Mr. Brown, my questions to you is this...
A. why are we still alive after your doomsday prediction (and why are you still in office)
and
B. Why are you deriding me, and now, over Half the U.S., over Half of Britain as well now, according to recent polls taken, for now being skeptical on the idea of either A. Global Warming in it's entirety, or B. Man Made (Anthropogenic) global warming, for question the science, when apparently, the science data can't even be found?

You know, I'm sure Liberal Democrats, are giddy with excitement. The massive, bloated charade game of Harry Reid's health care bill, is one step closer to passing in the senate, with the weekend Cloture vote...

My message to them, and those that read this?

Hold the victory cigar/ wine/ Organic, earth friendly gruel...


Problem Number 1: Even if Reids bill passes, it means nothing. None of the Senate bill, will start until 2014....

That's right, the ever important Health Care reform that we need (and trust me, some reform IS needed... but not the one that liberals think is great, and it's certainly not the kind in the Senate bill). Won't even begin until 2014

Oh joy! I'm sure that it's set at 2014 for perfectly logical reasons... not at all to go home to your voters and brag about the latest estimated cost of 1.8 Trillion (Yea that's right, TRILLION) of political kick backs (Speaking of which... will Senator. Second Louisiana Purchase please return our tax dollars..... ) and get reelected in 2010, and 2012.

I'm so glad to be told by liberals that we need Health Care Reform now... we just don't need it "Right now"... just 4-5 years latter after passing the bill

Problem Number 2: "You lose" OR: "How Democrats managed to put them selves in the grim comedy of a Catch-22 with our Tax dollars"

That's right, the Democrats can vote anyway on this bill, and they still will lose

Pass it? Great: now the American people are pissed at you pissing away more money we don't have. In case you don't understand why this is a really bad Idea, how about you watch the SNL cold opening skit of a CSpan style show of a meeting between Obama and and the president of China.

The key thing to watch from there. the sad sad liberal idea that Spending money= Saving money

Uhm... First off, you don't need to spend money to save money....

If I go to a gas station, after filling up the gas tank, I have a choice to
A. go inside, spend money on the Nectar of life I know as "Mountain Dew" (You're welcome Pepsi, I know, us Dew Drinkers keep you in business), or AMP
B. Not spend money at all

Now see.. the Gas is required, because, I need to put fuel in the tank to keep the car running....

The Mtn dew? not so much.

Likewise... if your bill is listed as curving the cost by only maybe, 87 billion, but it cost 1.8 TRILLION... err... that means pretty much, squat in the "savings" department.

"Yea honey, I had to sell the house, the barn, the entire farm... But we'll be able to pay a very tiny amount of our entire bill!"

Go ahead, try that one time, see how long it takes for the divorce papers to be filed....

And if you don't pass it? Heh heh... well, have fun talking to all your left wing friends about how weak you are that you had the Senate, the House, and President in your hands, and you couldn't even pass your "Holy grail" of bills

I am not amused....

Hint for new FIring Line Readers.... Me not being amused, is never a good thing.

Extra hint: It's a very very VERY bad thing... especially when I'm not in a good mood...

So, Acti/Blizzards and Infinity Ward's Biggest game of the year... and they managed to screw it up...

Day 1: "Oops! We forgot Trophy support"

Day 2: Hey uhm... uhm, the PS3 servers are down...and we also screwed up Friend inviting

"What don't look at us.. it's all Demon Ware's fault, they run the servers.. them and Sony!"

Fun fact... Demon Ware, the people who run the MW2 server is owned by....... Activision.....

IW, I am not amused by the blame game either... take the freaking blame....

I did not spend money on the FREAKING PRESTIGE edition just to run around my house wearing Night Vision goggles.....

It is there on the list of things to do though....

None the less... you mean to tell me, that the game you KNEW was going to have at least 80,000 users on any one time, seeing as from World at War's Multi player lobby, let alone the thousands who play Uncharted 2, Kill Zone2, Resistance 2... the list keeps going... And what's your excuse?

"Oh hey.. uhm... the servers can only handle 20,000"

-_-......

Way to half-ass it guys! Way to freaking go.....

That's like me going to my boss at work on a big night  and going "Hey you know what... I know our Bread Rolls are popular... so I'm sure the customers won't mind if we only bake 20 rolls at a time, yea I know I'm half assing my job here at food prep, and could tray up 180+ rolls, but yea, 20 rolls seems good to start"

Pop Quiz Infinity Ward

If I was to say that to my Boss, or restaurant's Customers, which of the following will happen?

A. My boss will go "Oh no problem, Razgriez,

B. Boss gives me a raise for the grand idea of conserving the amount of rolls we have for the night

C. Get my ass thrown out the door, and to start seriously considering finding new employment

Hint: It's C

So IW.. I repeat again... Fix the PS3 Modern Warfare FULLY, NOW. No more BS excuses.

That's right, according to Gordon Brown's October 19th prediction... we're supposed to be all doomed by Dec. the 8th from Global Cooling, Warming "Climate Change" Unless we take DRASTIC MEASURES


I predict the exact opposite, we'll reach Dec. 8th, and the only catastrophe, will be to Mr. Brown's poor little Alarmist ego as it, and the junk science he uses, get's shattered to pieces..

Thus.. I now have a fancy Countdown Clock, for everyone's convenience


So tempted to do one to laugh at all the 2012 dooms day idiots...

Well it's been a while since I did political post. But this ones a bit unique...


Mrs. Pelosi mentioned earlier this month that she was concerned about the hatred that was entering the health care debate.
Concerns about Violence.....

I wonder what ever gave her that idea?
Could it have been the beating of Black Conservative Ken Gladney outside of a St. Louis Town hall by SEIU thugs?

err.. no....

Wait! It must have been then the BushHitler signs of old, and Letterman making rape jokes about Sarah Palin's 14 yr old daughter?

er... no again....

Wait, so it must have been those comments I can read on you tube from liberals stating things such as this wonderful gem from a user known as "Stupid Republicans" (Censoring of the words done by me)
"F*** the republicans! They should all be raped and burned in public!"

no...

Was itconcerns over those peaceful Tea Party protesters who are simply concerned about the corruption in D.C.

why yes... yes indeed.

So there you have it, violence, rape, and murder advocated by the left? Not a single concern raise..... But if it's a conservative movement filled with those who may be voting you out of office next election, even if peacefully, why, sound the alarms!.

There was this nifty little post by me last year, mere months before MW 2 was announced.

http://razgriez.livejournal.com/8255.html

in it, gave my ideas that if a new Modern Warfare 2 was created, which weapons I think should be added....

Well now I've got a (possibly partial) list of what is new to the game weapon wise via www.callofduty.wikia.com

I have not edited in any weapons for this, but let's see what I got right!

Assault Rifles:

I said the following weapons should be in: 
-IMI Tavor TAR-21: Status: I called it correctly, the TAR-21 will be in the game as an Assault rifle

-SA-80 series: I got it right, the L85A2 version will be in the game

-the F.N. SCAR series: Confirmed,t he SCAR-H will be in the game

- FN F2000 which I predicted is in the game

What I got wrong: XM-8, not in game.

What I didn't guess: AUG HBAR, FAMAS, FAL, and the ACR

so assault rifles are getting 8 new Assault rifles!
Weapons from the previous game not confirmed or not returning for assault rifles: G36, M14, 

SMGs:
In only got 1 correct here for new weapons: the UMP

the P90 is returning, but it seems nothing else from the last game..... well sorta

the MP5k (Kurtz, which means "Short"), which is a variant of the MP5 (the MP5N appeared in CoD4). what is rumored that it may only have 15 round magazines, so that should be interesting to find out

One very interesting weapon however is going to be in the game, the TDI Vector: a .45 caliber SMG that is designed to use a device known as the Kriss Super V to direct moving parts during the firing cycle, downwards to reduce recoil. 

MGs: WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG!. I didn't get ANYTHING right on this
the M249 SAW is returning (possibly as the M240B)
the M60 may return as well
as is the MG that was my "Love-hate" gun, the RPD (I love to hate it.... especially when I'm not using it!)
What is new, is the SAW's big brother: the M240, and the MG4

Shotguns: I GOT ONE!!!!!
....and only one....
the SPAS-12

that's it....

You know... some of the choices... I should've seen. like the AA12, and Remington 870
the Striker is a bit of a surprise, but makes sense considering some of the game locales

you know what I didn't expect?

a Winchester 1887 to be in the game.

in case you're wondering. the 1887 is a lever action built in, surprise: 1887

I really didn't expect that....

--Sniper Rifles--
I didn't make any guesses in reality... I just... it was late at night and I didn't want to waste time on it...

good thing too, since so far, only 3 sniper rifles ahve been confirmed, the Dragunov, the Mark 14 Mod0 EBR (Razgriez is happy) and the WA2000

now.. I didn't make any guesses on pistols, but this time, there are 5 pistols, the new kid on the block joining the 4 returning guns: the Glock 18C Machine Pistol

I never thought i'd say this years ago... but... here I am... and i've got to say it...

in an age with the Obama Administration, we need defenders of Free Speech....

Unfortunetly, over the weekend, Bill O'Reilly has proven he's anything BUT that, when he decided to blast several conservative blogs on talk about the new SCOTUS pick, not because of what the bloggers posted, but because of commenters. He decided to attack them, saying "This is the blogs view points!" 

They aren't... Commenters are free to post what they want, and doesn't necessary mean they express the view of the blog

So surely Mr. Bill "Holier than thou" O'Reilly's own website is  clean then right?

Answer: Nope.. Bill is instead, an hypocritical liar. and when the Web Blog Patterico took screen caps of some of the same type commentors Bill blasted on the conservative blogs, Patterico had his "Premium membership" to O'Reilly's website terminated....

Bill, let me say this so you don't mistake my words....

, you hypocritical pompous "Holier than thou" liar scumbag. This is coming from a Conservative Republican, You aren't a conservative, you aren't even a true Republican, because you lack one of the very key parts of being a Republican, and that's being able to tell the truth to others. You are no better than the Liberals you bash on your show. And you should be ashamed of it....
