DreadPirate75's blog

Here is a link to the CrossFit Camp Pendleton blog site.

It's where we post the daily workouts and post our results, comments, and smack talk to each other. I post the daily blogs and another Marine I work with takes the rest days and post great articles and more in depth blogging stuff related to crossfit.

Sorry it took so long to get this review up. I have just been too busy playing the game! I'll keep this review short and sweet.

Graphics: Good. Not great, not bad, but good. Silicon Knights had to resort to an in-house engine after scrapping the old one, so i am not surprised the graphics aren't blowing people away. The main thing I am impressed with is how the framerate does not falter one bit when you have a hundred enemies swarming you on screen.

As i await Unwashed Mass' rocket launch I decided to fool around with SCIV's create a character some more. This is just too fun. I thought I would share some of the more interesting ones. These are modeled as closely as possible to their actual characters. Some of the armor and items gave me some limited choices, so some artistic license was needed. Enjoy and leave me a comment on what you think!

Been there, done that! Had a blast with the Pirate Queen and my daughter. (This was their first Comic-Con experience)

Highlights:

- DC Universe Online MMO was awesome. Got to check out the most recent build and play a mission. Holy crap! This is going to be AMAZING when it is released.

- Star Wars: Force Unleased looked and played up to the hype it is spinning.

- CROWDED! Most crowded Comic-Con EVER!

- Street Fighter IV playable demo looked absolutely brilliant.

Where to even begin...If you haven't heard of Video Games Live check out www.videogameslive.com to see what it is all about. I took Kathey (the Pirate Queen) and my 13 year old daughter for a night out on the San Diego harbor to see this awesome spectacle of both music talent and video game presentations. I'll use bullets and for the review and try to keep the comments brief and poignant.

It was good.

In my opinion, I don't think it lived up to the hype.

Some of the main reasons why it was only "good":

Christian Bale talks like he is an asthmatic about to keel over when he is Batman. It made it almost painful listening to his dialog.

Too damn long.

Not overly impressed with Katie Holms' replacement as Rachel Dawes.

Should have saved at least one of the many plot lines for another sequel.

The thing with the cell phones...really???
