Probably one of the funnier “commercials” out of SNL or Saturday Night Live in quite a while.

Enjoy:

Ok so I am a first-person gamer at heart, I started there with Wolfenstein back in the 90s, and have played virtually EVERY FPS released since then (on PC, not consoles, gamepads FTL).  My favs have usually been Online team based games like TFC, Tribes (1,2), BF2142, Planetside, you get the picture.

 I enjoyed the Call of Duty series quite a bit, starting with the original and CoD2, I skipped CoD3 because it was made by a different dev shop, but CoD4 was awesome.  Fast Forward to Call of Duty: World at War and BAM! they make a very smart move (in my opinion) and go back to the WWII genre. 

Well I haven’t finished the single player campaign, but I am quite far in.  The game bounces you between two characters, one is an American Marine PFC that participates in assaults on targets in the Pacific, and the other a Russian that starts out like a Vasily Zaytsev (a la Enemy at the Gates) in Stalingrad.  

The missions are very diverse covering sniping, forward assault, sabotage, squad combat and moving to a few vehicle missions like tanks and aircraft.  Following in the footsteps of the Call of Duty franchise, you get a very immersed feeling of war in the game with comrades falling and the death cries of the enemy when you shoot them in the gut.

Graphics are on par with CoD 4 but I feel the scenery is a bit more refined. All in all its a spectacular game, and I am enjoying every aspect of single player mode. 

Webcomics are great. When you find yourself bored while online but with nothing particularly better to do (especially on a slow work day) web comics provide a world of entertainment to get lost in.  Best of all, there is pretty much a webcomic for every genre of interest that can be imagined.  Here’s a quick list of some of my favorites:

Ctrl+Alt+DEL- This is a great gamer comic that has been around a LONG time, which means plenty of archives to read when you’re bored.

Little Gamers- obviously a gamer comic as well, although really they don’t discuss a lot of games so it’s kind of like Seinfeld a comic that’s not really about anything.

AFBlues- A military comic about the world of pilots, a great comic, but even better if you’ve been in the military.

Cyanide & Happiness- Foul, vulgar, and freaking hilarious. There really isn’t a running story here, but it’s definitely funny.

Looking for Group and Least I Could Do- They are completely unrelated EXCEPT that the guy that writes LFG is also part of the LICD team.  The first is an RPG comic, the second is a story about a manwhore. Both are great.

So that’s my quick list, if you’d like to find more you can search by your favorite categories after you sign up (free) for an account at this site.

Ok so I updated my “Myspace” page and finally signed up for “Facebook”.  I’m really not much into these types of sites but I guess if everyone else is doing it, I better get with the program!

Anywho (I say that alot don’t I?) go ahead and see what they look like, feel free to comment and whatnot.

Meanwhile here is a pic of me at the New Years Eve party we had at East Islip Bowl in Long Island:

So we got back from our trip to Long Island, NY on Saturday.  We visited my family on both sides, a few parties and LOTS of food later, I probably gained 10 lbs all told.  Traffic/Weather on the way up was crap, snow/wind storms in PA and NY.  On the way back it was a detour on i-81 in PA due to an accident so we had to take rt 15 from north of Carlisle all the way through Frederick, MD (added almost an hour).

Anywho, we got back safe and sound, quite tired but happy to be home!

Here are a few pics I snapped with my Iphone, just downtown Manhattan as seen from the BQE (Brooklyn-Queens Expressway) and the Sesame bagel with Nova Lox (smoked salmon) and cream cheese YUMMY!
