Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 – Infinity Ward Fail
If you’ve been reading any gaming news lately, you know the big deal for the PC version is that there are no dedicated servers. IW shot themselves in the foot here. You cannot choose a favorite server (there are none), cheaters are a lot harder to deal with, no mods, no admins, and from what I’ve been reading, it’s overall a pretty laggy experience. The last PC Call of Duty I played was CoD2. I have CoD Modern Warfare for the PS3, but haven’t logged much time at all on it. Buyer beware for CoD MW2, though. The single player is short, and the multiplayer experience is iffy.
Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala
I’m running Ubuntu 9.10 both at home and at work, and so far it’s been a pretty decent experience. I’ve had some trouble with networking on the work machine, but found the fixes over at the Ubuntu Forums. I have to admit I hardly go there any more as it just seems overwhelmed with a lot of newcomers’ questions. That’s not a bad thing, but it’s just not something I want to wade through, so generally I wander over, search, and then leave. I may get back into being more active, but I’m just not sure yet.
endperform.org future
I’m still trying to figure out where to go with the site. Part of me wants to move the blog elsewhere and do something else with the frontpage, part of me wants to whip up a podcast, and a third part of me wants to just leave things as they are. I’m torn, but I’ll figure out where it’s going to go soon.
