... man the guns!

I got "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II" yesterday. I'm not a big, "get the game the day it comes out" type guy, but I think this was necessary. I spent a good deal of time last night hunting terrorists. I mean it is Vet's Day, what better way to celebrate than with CoD?

This is the one game I play on-line. The others I may dabble, but this is the gnarly or the gnarled on-line. I spend most of my time dead though, so my stats are slow to rise. If on-line play were a war movie, I'd be the comic-relief guy with a girl back home, on his last tour, who you know is going to get smoked.

"Did... did I get 'em, captain, did I?"
"You got him soldier *sniff**sniff*, you got him."
"God... bless... Americaaaaaa..." - And dead.

There have been dudes playing this since midnight two nights ago like non-stop. I got things to do, I can't be that guy.

Speaking of soldiering as a profession. My brother bought some of the original G.I. Joe cartoons this past week and I watched one this weekend with him. You think of things that you normally wouldn't of when you were a kid. Like what does the USG budget office think of all these jets that get destroyed in every episode? Everyone is always bailing out! It's like no one has ever landed a jet in the Joe unit.

Or how is everyone's aim so bad? I mean, this has been well documented, but aiming at humans seems fruitless... aiming at an inanimate object though, these guys are suddenly 100%.

You know what... I think that cartoon was made for kids!!!

What's your biggest cartoon let-down from being a kids to an adult? Mine is actually He-Man.
