On the Infinity Ward front, here's a 1Up editor Tina Sanchez's photo blog of her visit to the Infinity Ward den of iniquity. I'm assuming it was before the announcement of the PC player cornholing, since there are no mobs with torches and pitchforks trying to break into the building. Click here!

And I can't really blame them. There wasn't any real warning. Nothing much leaked out about the way things were being changed on the PC end of Modern Warfare 2. In fact, there had been at least one tweet from Fourzerotwo, fairly early on, that PC would be as it always had been... Yikes.
