My God...I feel dumb after having watched "White House Down" and "World War Z" this weekend.

About the only redeeming feature from either movie is the fact that the cool guy at Camp Humphrey in South Korea, which a 75th Ranger Regiment scroll as his combat patch.

"White House Down" was just an assault on the senses, and I'm sorry but as a conservative leaning professional Army officer, with quite the personal gun collection, it was a struggle to finish the movie.

The only thing I enjoyed in it was the Air Force captain deciding not to bomb the White House. That's it. I nearly turned it off when the RPG-7 took out the Abrams. I was shouted down by my bunkmates.

Roland Emmerich films usually make you feel dumb.

I'm still not sure why after going to all the trouble to get filming permission to use RFA Argus they decided to make it into an American ship.

Besides, wouldn't a Hospital Sh- sorry, Primary Casualty Receiving Ship be a good asset to have in a zombie apocalypse?

Director mentality. Game designer is the director, player is the actor, so player's job is to do exactly what designer says or CUT GO AGAIN. Obviously any choices you make would only be wrong anyway so they don't let you make them.

I read it in the Sandbox. I wasn't exactly impressed with it, either.

The obvious Karl Rove as the Presidential Chief of Staff, the bitchy fighter pilot turned trash hauler, the gardner who fought off an entire hoard with his sword all sort of made me go "meh".

But what killed it was the description of the SIR. Oh my good Lord in heaven and his Prophet John Moses Browning...

And I think I could have tolerated all of the above had, the "seasoned veteran" not described the 5.56mm as "hard kicking"

You know, I just realised Riley died in Ghosts. They forgot to get him off that carrier, or mention leaving him behind. So much for important! :rolleyes:

My brother rented Ghosts this weekend, and it didn't really look like it was worth playing

SPEMack618 11-25-2013 08:45 PM

I'm off the opinion that any COD game that doesn't have Soap isn't worth playing....so yeah, no more COD.
