Today's featured vid is a TDM match on Skid Row by Dubblejord, using mostly the SPAS-12. Nice gameplay, but slightly unfocused commentary. Still worth watching with the sound off for some artful scattergun work. Next up is a spiffy knife montage by TheDrunkenCanadian, aka IAmTheLiquor on the 2Old2Play CoD forum. On to the links:

I was going to embed the YouTube clip here, but I just can't. It's not that the fake nudity is that objectionable, it's that the crappiest video game ever made is more art than Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. I shit you not. Here's the tamest picture I could find:
