IW is busy doing this with the PC crowd...
- Escapist has a YouTube link of the 3rd person view mode of Modern Warfare 2, now confirmed by Bob "Responsibility Taker" Bowling.
- Fragland has a link to a (possibly hoaxed) video of ultraviolence against civilian targets in MW2.
- Meanwhile, DICE is busy embracing the PC crowd, proudly posting this FAQ about Battlefield 2 and the PC version's dedicated servers.
- An old Geeks.co.uk article may explain the driving personality behind this dick move by IW.
- In a move surprising no one, IncGamers reports that Amazon UK has deleted all the one-star reviews, as reported in yesterday's blog. Although I have a lot of sympathy for the PC players, giving an unreleased game a bad review seemed in itself to be a dick move on the part of the PC guys.
- PwnOrDie has a humorous article about Dick Cheney, President Obama and Modern Warfare 2.
- An MCV article, humorous for a different reason, has Fourzerotwo saying that developers should take responsibility for marketing their own games. Particularly hilarious was the comment, "IW knows the gamer."
- Joystiq has confirmation from a developer taking responsibility for marketing his own game that Modern Warfare 2 will feature playlists with a 3rd person view.
- PCWorld has chimed in with an editorial on the dedicated server removal in Modern Warfare 2's PC version.
- On BASHandSlash, one Aussie gamer has pointed out a major pranging that the IWNet system implies for MW2 PC gamers down under.
- Joystiq has the Best of Big Download links for last week.
- GamesRadar has an article on that perennial pipe dream, 3D Gaming, this time using Nvidia's LCD shutter glasses. Disclaimer snipped from the article shows why this is still a pipe dream: But then there’s the cost. $199 seems too pricey for most gamers who could use that kind of cash to upgrade their rig, or buy more games. It’s also important to keep in mind that the Nvidia 3D Vision kit requires a monitor or HDTV that supports 120 Hz refresh rates. Unless you’re already rocking a monitor that supports 120 Hz, this can easily add another couple of hundred dollars to the cost of upgrading to 3D Vision.
- Double Viking has a vid on how to do the 3D thing with the red/blue glasses for only 2 bucks. It turns out the anaglyph version of the software for this is free from Nvidia. All you need are the el cheapo plastic glasses, and you can game in glorious, headache-inducing red/blue 3D.
- Never date a girl gamer.
- Microsoft claims to be "surprised" about Windows 7 install snags. Insert 2 pages of "Hahhahhahahahahahahahahahahah!" right here.
- Google has a translated link about the impending 2012 apocalypse hoax. Turns out the Mayan calendar calculations the alarmists are using are off by over 200 years.
- No Family Guy infomercial for Microsoft after all.
- As noted in the Vent, the Woot-off is on.
