[Mop it up]

Sure. I had a nice nap today and I don't have to work tomorrow, so I'll be good.
I'll be playing, send me an invite when you get back on. I might be a few minutes if I have to finish a match, though.

[EasyCure]

I won't be available tonight. My bad.

[Mop it up]

I want to change my name to "a huggle" so that when I kill people, the message says "Killed by a huggle."

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

There's a licensing fee for that.

[Mop it up]

I've been giving out huggles since before you were even a professional 666, whatever that is.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Your original license expired after your gender change.

[Toruresu]

Alright, anyone up for some games tonight?

[Mop it up]

Depends on what time you want. At 9PM EST I'm playing The Conduit with some other forumers, but after that I'd be able.

[Toruresu]

Alright, just let me know when. Check your PMs.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

What a crap control scheme.  The inability to test your controls as you adjust them, forcing you to go back and forth thru the menus, only adds to the frustration.

Acknowledging the inaccuracy of "aiming from the hip" with a large reticule bubble is appropriate for handicapped controls schemes like mouse and double-anal that are meant to be hindered, but this is the 3rd time in a row that Treyarch doesn't recognize there's inherent instability in aiming with the Wii Remote, yet the reticule bubble is still huge instead of depending on the Wii Player's own steadiness.  Oh, then there's the idea that aiming from the hip isn't useful to professional soldiers, and shouldn't be in this type of game AT ALL.

Scoped view, typically with Reflex Dot Sights, should be the default view for general movement, but the game messes that up, like the last game, with its god-awful stuck-in-place Call of Rubberband effect.  And the fact that you see way too much of the gun on the screen as it moves around (when your eyes would be close to the eyepiece instead) makes it look stupid and awkward.

So all the shitty functionality really lets the control "options" go to waste.

[Mop it up]

I agree that there is too much of the gun on-screen when aiming down the scope. I don't even try it with certain weapons because I just can't see anything.

[Stratos]

Pro, just go into the training at the beginning to tweak your controls. I went in there and just made my changes and tested them on the course. Fastest way to do in I felt.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

That's exactly where the constant menu changes pissed me off.

[Stratos]

Mop it up and I have started playing Modern Warfare again. If anyone is up for playing let me know because I've gotten hooked on it again! Still as fun as ever and I unlocked some new guns.

[Mop it up]

Shh! That was supposed to be a secret.

What new weapons did you get? I forgot that I had done Prestige Mode, and so now, I'm still missing a lot of the good stuff. Last night I unlocked the final light machine gun, which was one I used a lot, as well as the grenade-drop perk which I probably shouldn't admit scores me a lot of points.

[NWR_insanolord]

I'll try to get on with you guys, but I may not be able to because I'm at school. Not because of network issues or having to do work, but because I have to share the TV.

[Stratos]

I'm gonna hop on some more.

I believe I unlocked the G36C. I'm playing around with perks and such a bit more now.

Was dominating a lot today when I played. Got a good number of airstrikes in as well. I tried FFA and was in the top three most of the time, though I enjoy team games more since I like working together.

[Stratos]

Anyone want to play some tonight?

I unlocked the Desert Eagle. I've seen some people with a golden one but I don't see any challenges to unlock different colors for it. I've snagged it from players who died and it doesn't seem to have any performance differences.

[Mop it up]

The golden Desert Eagle skin is awarded for reaching lvl 55, the highest rank. It is just a "finish" like all the others, it doesn't do anything special. Most weapons also have a golden finish that can be unlocked by completed all of the challenges for that weapon.

Tonight's Tuesday so I wanted to play Monster Hunter, but I'm waiting for Apdude to return in another couple hours. If you are ready now, I could get on for a bit.

[Stratos]

OK, I'll boot it up.

Sorry, got a very important call. I'm back on now.

[Mop it up]

Good games mate. I'm not really sure what happened to you at the end there, but I hope you're all right.

EDIT: Ah, okay. That makes sense, I figured something of the such happened. Too bad though, because now it's time for Monster Hunter. Perhaps I'll catch you tomorrow.

[EasyCure]

I'll be free Wed 09/15/10 anytime before.. I'd say 1pm. If this works for either of you, I'll join you for a game and be the whipping boy because I haven't played this game in months.. I really don't like it..

My friend code:

1544  2669  6061

[Mop it up]

I'd like to, but I'll be at work during that time. I still have you added from that one time you went on, perhaps I'll catch you another time.

[EasyCure]

You'll never catch me I'm the leprechaun, you'll have to set up an appointment at least 3 days in advance. I'm just that "elite".

Why must I be such a responsible adult?

[Stratos]

But...I really want to play with you. More people = awesome time. :/
