[poll id=”4″]
Not to have a sided opinion, I just don’t see how Battlefield actually won the vote. Modern Warfare or Black Ops Or Warcraft fanboys or Starcraft fanboys. but it was Battlefield.
Over the past ten years, there have been quite a few videos submitted by TruXter. Many of these videos have been Videos that contain Video Game scenes. All of these videos need to be seen by the public because they are great videos. This is ten tears of Game related videos by TruXter.
If you are stuck in the same loop as everyone else who can not get World Of Warcraft Cataclysm to fully install, the trick seems to be to fully unintsall Wow and then reinstall World of Warcraft from scratch. Now there are world updates that you will see installed on top of other world files. There is a loop happening there. The trick is to delete those files after they install and just go straight to connecting to the server. before the game starts, Blizzard will patch your issue and replace the missing files with the new files that you were getting earlier. Seems patching on log in has more up to date files than what is on the server for full installs. Somewhere in there, there is a Weird looping issue going on (the full install ).
I have been hearing that people are having this issue from the download and from the install disk.
Blizzard has noticed the issue and are currently working on it.
And yes quite a few people have already maxed out.
Enjoy the game.
We are inviting you guys to participate in the review of Call of Duty Black Ops for PC. There will be a poll at the end.

Call of Duty Black ops Splash
The default video settings for Call of Duty Black ops Was already decent enough for me to start the game, just had to change from 1280×768 to 1440×900. Of course I did not try turning anything up because I wanted to try the game right out of the box at default standards. You know what, I was quite happy with the game-play.
Menu Black Ops Pc
You can move the mouse and look around the room as if you are the head of Mason the main character in Call of Duty Black Ops. You are restrained in a chair, you have blood on your shirt.
First Cut-scene Call Of Duty Black Ops
This of course is the first Cutscene of the single Player version Call of Duty Black Ops for pc.
We Played all three versions of Call of Duty Black Ops, We played Multiplayer We played Zombie and We Played Single player. Gave about one Hour to the Zombie game play. Both computers handled the game very well. We took the game to multiplayer and both computers held up great, even on maps with 16/16 players. No noticeable lag at all. but single player. We played single player mode at veteran level for two Hours. about the second hour, the Intel machine began to lag heavily. Could have been a heating issue.
Best First Person Shooter I have played this year. Nice FPS action, Excellent FPS View
Call of Duty Black Ops, Is now my new favorite First Person Shooter.

Single player is very hard, graphics are amazing. Ai is a bit repetitive non intuitive. But Ai is very hard.
Multyplayer is small space hardly any place to camp as a sniper. Rounds are short like 10 minutes cap. Multyplayer is fast paced extreme action. Weapons are earned. That’s kind of cool, but those who make it to the good weapons first, keep the others from upgrading.
Straight to the scoring I give, but you can give yours below.
multiplayer fun 9/10
Graphics 10/10
single player fun 8/10
Sound 10/10
control 10/10
Final Score over all 9/10

This could get the vote for best free first person shooter of the year, on TruXter Tech Review.
This is in every since a video game made completely for pc gaming. all games should be released as a pc game and then ported to console. Simply because the console port would be easier than the port to pc game. So when a game comes out for pc game first, we are certainly sure it will be a good game. This first person shooter will be the number one Pc game FPS of the year. (by all expectations). I am certain you can not buy a pc game this good.
Best ofs always come in January of the following year. We make sure every game released in a year time gets a chance.
After playing Starcraft ii Wings of Liberty, all weekend long, I have no understanding why anyone would ever crack this game. There is so much you miss out on by cracking starcraft ii. The website has a download for starcraft ii. If you do not get the game legally, you can not participate in any of the events.
You will not be able to do much more than play the 299 bundled missions. You will not see the World of Warcraft like gameplay Easter egg.
There is so much you can do with the registered version that you can not do with the cracked version of starcraft II. For starts you can get updates and patches. Yoiu can participate in the leader boards, you can be in the ladder challenges and online battles for higher rankings.
You can participate in the forums if you do not have the cracked version of Starcraft II.
What does the cracked version give you? Well the Number one reason I see fit in cracking Starcraft II, is you do not have to log in to your messenger every time you want to just play single player. You don’t have to have an internet connection. I mean that’s what games are great for. Times when you have nothing else to do. If you have no internet, then you pretty much have one less thing to do in your spare time. This is an arguement I will stand behind. Also there are people in other situations that need the practice and down time to play alone. This makes a good reason to crack the game. That is cracking the version you own and paid for without distributing a copy to anyone.
I am not for pirating of anything. I am about problem solving and talking the logical solution to resolve issues. If you have to modify a product to better suite your needs then by all mean do so but do not give the whole thing away as if it was your own .
Patch 2 is out for Starcraft II, you couldn’t have even got the first patch if your game was cracked.
You tell me why you would wouldn’t crack starcraft II. Make it good .
Ten or so years ago, Blizzard put put out Starcraft. The game was so well designed so well built, that some countries actually held tournaments playing as the Zerg, Terran and Protoss species/races. The game in some Asian countries was more popular than the Olympics.
After ten years of dormancy, it has come back to challenge us again.
Here is my first day with Starcraft II (I wrap it up with a full review)
Bought My Startcraft II today.
Install took a while but nothing major. Just felt like forever. but what the heck is 5-10 minutes when I have been waiting ten years.
[kaltura-widget uiconfid=”534″ entryid=”0_5sowc5dg” width=”400″ height=”330″ addpermission=”” editpermission=”” /]
After install was a download of a patch.
[kaltura-widget uiconfid=”534″ entryid=”0_m1k5chwa” width=”400″ height=”330″ addpermission=”” editpermission=”” /]
Then came the video we all saw in the teaser. Seemed there wasn’t a lady talking in the teaser. so… listen closely you might hear something you haven’t heard.
[kaltura-widget uiconfid=”534″ entryid=”0_dv1v94bu” width=”400″ height=”330″ addpermission=”” editpermission=”” /]
Oh, video card crashed at the end. It’s okay I have another :-)
On first Install of the game, the cenematics, Really good. This is what I have been waiting for. The cigar is back ( the thing that seemed to have the best detail in SCI).
The Blizzard people really know how to do CGI.
That little ps2/ record player thing with the Hologram . Cool effect.
Difficulty selection for Starcraft II
Casual Normal Hard Brutal
I selected Casual. Come on. I’m learning.
Huge selection for hotkeys.
I can’t imagine I memorized that many keys with the first Starcraft.
Menu Selection for Starcraft II
Video Resolution didn’t go as high as I wanted. Seemed to be a bit of an anti-aliasing issue going on. Kind of wavy. No lag or nothing just an occasional wave in the video and some broken lines.
After finishing the first mission you go back to bar.
They put plenty of items for you to click on and get curious about. I looked at everything. because I want to know all of it.
End of third mission in the game.
it took me 20 minutes to do that. and I had it set on the lowest difficulty.
On board a battle cruiser.
Your bar from the first is now a Battle cruiser. Back Starcraft I, we just called them “BC” gotta type fast mid game.
You can click a lot of stuff there also. You learn a few things that way. It’s not like the first diablo where people just babbled random useless stuff and then the same stuff all the time. They actually change their phrases after each mission.
if you click around enough, you learn tricks about the game, study abilities that you can’t have unless you learn them by clicking stuff and buy better weapons.

That guy sounds just like Chris Pirillo. He has plenty of videos on youtube. Just type his name. you will see. Kinda looks like him also.
FYI His Name is “Steadman”
Now all of the media is presented. Sorry I didn’t want to install fraps… I’m on strike. So my pics are via cam on my cell.
Time for the Review
Game play
At first I was upset because the buildings didn’t lay out in straight lines like they did before in the first Starcraft. I kept getting my SCV stuck between buildings. That is of course until I found the button that allows me to sink the supply depot underground. After seven missions i haven’t seen if that prevents attacks on them. I am sure a Zerg can attack it… Right ? All of the old buildings look the same, just you get a better look at them now. They seem to do all of the same stuff and the costs and upgrades are still the same. There are a few additions to equipment and to units. I don’t want to ruin to much. Just there is something that looks like a flying vulcher. That thing has some awesome artillery. Turret Lasers :-D !!!! Fire bats are bigger, but still have low range ground attack weapons only. but they can be upgraded pretty good.
You know, I don’t think I want to ruin it for you . So I will not go into it. Kinda hard to talk about Starcraft ii and not same the names of the units. They are all listed on Blizzard’s site with Starcraft unit name next to it. But you just don’t know what it all means till you play. So I don’t want to ruin the surprise for when you buy your copy of Starcraft II.
This game is a 100% must buy for any person who enjoyed Starcraft or Starcraft Brood Wars. They reference so much. The familiarity is there.
If you are a console gamer who has never played a PC game, a game that was created for pc and played on pc only, you will not get the fun in watching the videos. The videos are all very important. This is not a RUSH-RUSH-RUSH-RUSH-complete the game kind of game. This game is not for the console kiddies.
Online play, I think they scrapped the idea of the chatroom. How can you talk smack and get your butt handed to you after? There is a forum option and a community option, but the community option just sends you to Starcraft II website.
I didn’t dig much into the online play at all. I just want to finish teh game first and get the hotkeys memorized before I do all that.
Ladder matches are back.
Everyone is huge Muscular except the women and the scientists.
Jim looks different and voice sounds different. Many return roles. Different voices but similar. could be the same people, it has been ten years and all.
Also they removed the community. I find it hard to make a challenge when you can’t talk crap. So here is the community of Starcraft II Clans.
Scoring for Starcraft II
Scoring is on a 1-10 scale. 10 being best and 1 is sucky.
Today is the long awaited day for Blizzard fans. Ten years we hoped. For ten years we lost hope. but today, Starcraft II is released. July 27 2010, we get our second edition of Starcraft.
I will be skipping lunch at work today to locate a place to purchase this game. I will be knocking down console kiddies to get my hands on the strategy game of all strategy games.
I will be protoss I will be terran. I will be zerg.
:-)
Bnet will take a beating today. I will wait for the servers to level out. Battle.Net goofed it last time. So lets see what happens this time, now that everyone is broadband and battle net is on a larger server.
Sand Andreas San Andreas has So many Cities that begin with a letter V. I know crazy figure but it help in explaining VI.
Las Venturas, Vinewood major cities within San Andreas.
GTA VI
Vice City. I know it goes against previous GTA releases formats, where you start in Liberty City, move to Vice City then move to San Andreas as the final location.
but imagine a cool logo
GTA VI Vice City
My saying this is just pointing at an opportunity that Rockstar games has with this set of Roman numerals that influence our alphabet.
I’m starting to think more along the way this looks is what is really going to come out, contrary to my previouse posts about what teh future of gta will be.
I still stand behind a Grand Theft Auto 2011 release date. . There will be a hint of the possibility of a new gta, Around September 2010, but count on the full announcement in April 2011.
Count on engine enhancement using the gtaiv engine, count on graphics tweaks, and useless items stripped out.
Don’t count on a pc release this time. That’s right i make the call, No Grand Theft Auto v for pc. The trolls ruined by being disgruntled consolers and flaming the pc threads upsetting everyone. but what do they care. Right ?
I don’t know about you, but I wanted this game to come ten years ago.
Don't that look good?
Well Starcraft II is on it’s way. July 27th Is the release date.
I have been offered the beta but I want the full Starcraft II. I have not settled for the beta ahead of time. I want the full final effect
I want that feeling I had when I watched the Cutscenes with version one. and to get the storyline along with it as I earn my way there. The cutscenes are what Starcraft is about. Well actually it’s the head to head online” My millitary strategy is greater than yous” battle that you can not get from World of Warcraft, you can not get from Battlefield Or Grand Theft Auto. Starcraft is a game Mimicked for ten years.
I am calling it ahead of time, Starcraft II will get awards for three years straight. Starcraft II will be top seller of PC games for minimum of 3 month. I Call it now that Starcraft II will be the highest counted pc game sold within one week. I predict that in the first month of Starcraft II Higher sells numbers than World of Warcraft’s first year.
Sales Numbers to Beat
EA’s The Sims 3 had sold 800,000 copies in its first month
World of Warcraft® sold through to over 240,000 November 23, selling more in its first 24 hours than any other PC game in history.
Over PC All Sales to date
1. The Sims (16 million shipped)
2. The Sims 2 (13 million)
* The Sims 2: Pets [expansion pack] (5.6 million)
* The Sims 2: Seasons [expansion pack] (1 million)
3. World of Warcraft (11.5 million subscribers)
* World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade [expansion] (3.5 million)
* World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King [expansion ] (4 million)
4. StarCraft (11 million)
5. Half-Life (9.3 million, may include PS2 version)
* Half-Life: Opposing Force [expansion pack] (1.1 million)
6. Half-Life 2 (6.5 million, does not include Steam sales)
7. Guild Wars (6 million in North America, Europe, and Asia; includes Factions, Nightfall, and Eye of the North)
8. Myst (6 million)
9. Doom (5 million)
10. Counter-Strike (4.2 million)
My estimate 12Million sold by 2012
My estimate 300,000 1st day sales.1m after a complete month.
I know I have played and enjoyed this game. My son who was just a child during Starcraft release date is in the exact age group the majority of the original players were, this makes him prime for Starcraft II on release date. Blizzard is doing what they should have done 7-9 years ago. Or are they?
The twenty somethings and the thirty somethings reigned over the Starcraft online play back in the original days. The kids who got slapped around back in those days are now twenty somethings. And the twenty somethings back then are now in their thirties yadda yadda. The slapped around kids will now be the experienced group with the fast thinking and cool replacements to ” I owned you dawg”. They will be the superior group. They will be the primed group. They will be the 20 somethings. They will start out as recycled Newbies in the newbies room (if it has chat). They will be the sleepers. They will reuse and implement old school strategies they created when they where fighting to survive the online game. They will reign boisterously. They will control all game plans and all game skills created for a long first 5 months. many will lose interest, many will still play on. They will be the trend setters and the skills trainers. but will that matter ?
The thirty somethings and forty somethings who once where the trend setters and skills creators will be playing the single player and savoring the full game and all of the cinematics. The visuals, The audio, The story. When done They will walk down from their old dusty gaming thrown to join the arena. They will lose a few miserable first games. Because well, single player Stacraft can spoil you, and online Starcraft can be cruel and get rude fast. Of course there will be a passing thought to type out ” Boy watch your mouth and respect your elders” but yeah, that would just be retarded. There will be a desire to say ” boy back in my day I used to battle 1v7, me against 7 newbs like you”. The elder will know better. The elder will know that this kid thinks the elder is newb, simply because of his playing skills are crap and his stats show he has very few wins under his belt (if any at all yet). but it’s all about getting their old skills into a grove and finding a way to use their old tricks. It’s about finding the best mixture of units and machine to dominate. To show this boy how to “MASS”.
He hears ” our base is under attack” and he sees 120 probes running to the middle of his minerals attacking the drones so he laughs and sends in the attack. The old tidal wave of Zerglings followed by a blob of Hydras with Guardians floating above only to run into 20 Zealots retreating to run to the middle of 180 dragoons.
Finally, a PC game that is guaranteed to work. Because it is made for pc, not ported from some console garbage and then upscaled (causing it to bog down).
I will be online Tearing the game up. Thanksgiving day through Christmas.
Find me. I have to team mates. We all will train together.
