our hate will break the boundaries of our fears

tomorrow marks the start of the last 4 weeks of internship i have left.

after 8 weeks of being an intern, i cant say being in the working world is easy, but it sure as hell is more interesting than school. truth be told, id rather spend the remaining 7-8 weeks of the semester being an intern than going back to school to get piled with work, nagged at and mentally raped due to information overloads thanks to the compressed teaching thats in store for us.

ive been granted permission to game during lunch hours so i wont be lagging too far behind with new game releases. in fact, the reason i was able to complete Star Wars, the force unleashed 2 and call of duty black ops was due to the (at least) 20 minutes each day during my lunch break spent on each game.


its funny how i havent really touched medal of honour tier 1, which ive had for like a month now and that ive compeleted black ops which ive only had for less than a week.

for me, call of duty black ops was both irritating and fun. similar to World at War(cod 5), all the enemies and your allies seem to look the same and EVERYTHING(and i do fucking mean everything) BLOWS UP IN YOUR FACE. this is extremely irritating because i often get confused as to who to shoot since everyone looks the same and end up shooting friendlies. also, with everything exploding, the entire place keeps vibrating and shaking which is so damn headache inducing. the enemies also seemed to have had some prior elite sniper training because sometimes, i would be killed in 1 shot(which i am presuming was not due to a bug but a bullet to the head)

black ops also has some interesting stuff included like the dead ops arcade mode and presidential zombie mode aside from the nazi zombie mode which was already present in cod 5. the dead ops arcade is like the arcade game, shock troopers but instead of killing humans, you kill zombies. presidential zombie mode is where you play as jfk(or some others like nixon in multiplayer mode i think) and fend off zombies in the white house.

ok so lets compare moh and blak ops.

first and foremost, black ops has....




krossphire support(note icon on top right corner)....




and lets me get an avg of 80 fps throughout the entire game!

while moh initially did not have krossphire support until the late 10.10 catalyst driver update



and it only gives me an avg of 60 fps.



ive got load more to say but my brain is dead and i cant seem to remember what i wanted to type so i guess ill leave it for another time.
