Needless to say, I was simply thrilled to learn that Nvidia's Club SLI was sending me a copy of Bioshock back in October. I still haven't played all the way through the game, but am loving how well it runs on my SLI rig.
Then, this past Friday, I got a copy of Call Of Duty 4, again courtesy of Club SLI! Now I have never been what one could consider a lucky person... yet I feel like I've hit the lottery!
I have only touched the surface of COD4, playing just a couple of the single player missions. So far, I like the feel of the game. The sound design is great, the graphics are very solid, and the whole thing runs as smooth as butter on my rig. I haven't played enough to give anything more than my early impressions, which are all positive. I have been especially impressed by combat in enclosed areas. There's nothing quite like storming through a house with night vision!
My plan is to play a bit more of the single-player to get a better feel for the game mechanic, and then humiliate myself in multiplayer. Should be fun!
I am still looking for a job in the Cleveland area. The market really sucks right now.... I am looking in both the Radio and Technical arenas right now, and am getting very little response from anything I've sent out. I am really hoping for a job in Public radio, where my attitudes about media make the most sense. As long as I keep sending stuff out there, something will come..... just gotta keep at it!
