About Me
NEW! AND IMPROVED! NOW With relevant information!

Tony's the name, and i can game. Or i also go by Anthony and on the net as Antwhan.

Catch me and my semi-frequent ramblings on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/Antwhan

I make movies and am trying to break into the film industry. Maybe one day I'll be able to adapt a game or an anime for that matter to film successfully. Who knows.

I'm attempting to become involved w/ the d-toid community more. because it's such an awesome one. and also working on College stuff here @ Penn State.


First system i ever had was a Genesis, which i still play Sonic 2 on once in a while. But the PS1 is gathering dust w/ the ddr pads for it. The GameBoy Color was the first system that I played nonstop, Specifically Pokemon Red, Tetris, and Kirby's Dream Land 2.

Currently Rocking a 360 and a Wii, and some PC games that run on Mac, because I needed the Mac for my film major here at college.

I enjoy a good rpg and platformers, and arcade style racing/sports games. Also have been caught playing Shooters of the First and Third Person Variety.

Thanks for reading this you you did, and Rock On! I hope to meet fellow D-Toiders in the future somewhere in person.

Modern Warfare 2, I won't miss you.

Well it's done. I've mailed off Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 to the man chosen by Goozex.

And I couldn't be happier.

It was a tough decision to make I think, considering I usually like to save games like a certain editor *cough*Sammit*cough* But I couldn't stand playing it anymore. The fun of the game was drained out faster than Vampires Badass Status thanks to Twilight. It looked like a Roller Coaster on the Horizon before launching, but after I got off I just felt like i wasted a chunk of my Day at a theme park to ride the underwhelming ride.

Maybe I should explain a bit on how I treated Cod4 first off. It was the first, first person shooter I played consistently online for a long while. I never got into Halo or the WW2 era cods, So when this game came out i was uber excited for it. It's hard to explain how I played the game without sounding crazy, I mean I didn't camp like most people who played it. Basicly I ran around with RPGs, Knives and Martyrdom, Essentially a Suicide Bomber.

I didn't mind dying a lot. Because it was FUN still, and i took people with me to the grave usually.

But come MW2...the fun wasn't there anymore.

I mean I was able to improve on my strategy even more, with the advent of perks that can make the player essentially a Predator. But damn if I didn't get sniped every spawn.

The camping had skyrocketed since launch, to the point where I've seen about on average 2/3 in Free for all, and 5/6 in team games who are not camping. About 1/2 the matches i played in the last 2 weeks ended with a nuke, Which for those who don't know requires an insane number of kills in a row to get, which really can only be gotten if you're camping, I don't doubt it's possible to get it without camping, but it damn hard to do so, considering the huge amount of camping going on.

Now I know i sound a bit like a Broken Record, but like hell I'll keep the game if I can only enjoy 1/2 my time playing the thing. Camping is a consistent problem with most shooters of this ilk so calling this game out is maybe borderline silly. But like hell if whenever i played Halo at a friend's place, at least Camping was only a minority of players...

Don't get me Started on Glitches either but damn there's a metric ton of them that seem to pop up. The exploding one I didn't mind though because it was funny most of the time.

And with the upcoming Map Pack which is like 1200 points for 2 new maps and 3 old ones....BULLSHIT I SAY. The first cod had a rip off over priced pack too that I never bought, so I'm refusing this one too.

Now I wait for for my shot to get Bad Company 2 from goozex, and see if it fares any better...if not i'll be swearing off Army shooters for a long time. Maybe i'll break down and get Halo Reach later this year even...O well...Either way I'm going back to Deadly Premonition now

Sadly, I'm done with the game too, but not by my own choice. My 360 Red Ringed and I feel by the time I get the system back, I won't have the same drive I have for it as I do now. Plus, Halo: Reach beta will be kicking in probably by the time I get the stupid thing back.

If you don't mind dying, if you like teamwork, and if you have a PS3... then you might give MAG a try!

That Sucks Hamza. If you didn't send it in yet, I would recommend holding onto your harddrive.

I wish i had a PS3 for Ratchet and Clank personally, but right now I'm not in that party. Though MAG did look interesting when i saw vids of it.

OH SHIT I HAVE A DEBIT CARD NOW.

I should start a Goozex Account.

If by some means you happen to come across an Awesome, and I mean AWESOME PC, I'd go out and give ArmA II a try. The things that can happen in that game...

I still have not tried MW2, but I blame it on my bias towards Activision being a doucebag.

By now I am more interested in BFBC2 because it also looks a bit funny, and I like DICE.

I would go with the deal of getting a PC, because I really enjoy mine, and Steam sales get crazy prices on saving you 50-75% on stuff.

I have a macbook and bootcamp windows right now. Currently the only PC shooter i have is Team Fortress 2, but I still need a pc mic because it doesn't want to recognize the built in mic on the macbook as one.

any thoughts on decent, lower priced headset?

@Antwhan: Just wait for Steam to hit the Mac?

idk i'm waiting to see what comes over aside from just Valve's stuff in Mac's Steam at the moment before buying another pc shooter.

I'm also done with the game, It's just been taking up too much of my gaming time. I have Perfect Dark, Yakuza 3 and FFXIII to finish. I too enjoyed it, I was no good, but I had fun running around with an intervention trying to quick scope people.

Who knows, might get a headset and give Mag a try now.

@Hamza

sorry dude

Also, if you had a PS3 I would recommend MAG, but, well, hope BC2 treats you better.
