  • Call of Duty 4 and New Playlists

    fourzerotwo posted some details regarding the new COD4 playists a couple of weeks ago. Sound like quite the process getting the project done without the need for a patch but they are working hard on getting them out.

    Patching can be quite a difficult process and unless part of the regular development cycle, probably impossible. That being said fourzerotwo did have some details:

    Hardcore Headquarters – No Patch Required

    Well, that about sums it up. Hit the jump for the rest.

    Iamfourzerotwo.com Playlist Update

    [update]: fourzerotwo posted this morning about some testing. And a little office warfare. Awesome.

  • Why I <3 Call of Duty 4

    cod4.png

    If you haven’t figured it out yet, I’m a chick. And yes, I like to play froo-froo games like Viva Pinata and Animal Crossing. But right now, my very favorite game is Call of Duty 4. I’ve been playing a lot more since a friend introduced me to the Headquarters playlist (thanks Covie!), which is like capture the flag on crack. I know I’m rare, because if I play in the afternoons (nap time for the kids), the conversations usually go something like this:

    lilkid94 (obviously 14 years old or younger): Mrs. K. Nice Guy? (kid obviously didn’t get through Hooked on Phonics.) What the @#$%? You must be gay, you @#$%^.
    me: no, my tag would be gay if I was a guy, but I’m not.
    lilkid94: wha???? you… you’re a … GIRL??? Holy !@#$%^ *head explodes*
    at least 5 other people in room: a GIRL!! Playing Call of DUTY!!! *heads explode*

  • My New Computer is Fast

    I didn’t get much time to play games this weekend, but spent time setting up my new computer. After a 7 year lifecycle on my old AMD machine ( that’s a pretty long time between upgrades) the old dual CPU motherboard died. Rather than rebuild that machine I chose to move parts over to a new case/motherboard/CPUs/RAM/Video. After about 14hours setup time (had some issues with the BIOS settings and my SATA drive), I’m rockin’!

    My new machine’s specs:
    Sunbeam Transformer Case (Full Tower)
    AMD 64 x2 6400 Windsor clocked at 3.2GHz
    Kingston RAM – 2GB DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
    Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe Motherboard with HD Audio and NVIDIA NForce
    XFX GeForce 8600 GT 512MB Video Card
    2 Samsung and 1 WD harddrives totaling 570GB
    19″ Widescreen BenQ G900w monitor

    I can’t even begin to describe the performance increase. It’s clocked 3x faster than my old machine and dual core, so capable of running multiple apps at a time. I must say that I am pleased. 🙂 I’ll have some benchmarks and photos for you soon.

    Should be done with configuration within a couple of days and back to playing Call of Duty 4!
