Ol Jack-o does it again

Now he's writing letters to the mother of Take-Two Chairman Strauss Zelnick.

cliffs: he says deaths of police officers are because of gta (even when they happened before), talks about the old testament (since they had video games back then), says he is a "boy scout."

COD4 Martyrdom teh best ever
Phoenix0783 | 2:38 PM on 01.09.2008 16 comments


Why is martyrdom the best perk ever? I'll tell you why, because you have the chance to kill someone once you're dead. That's right, you don't even have to be alive to kill the enemy. This is the most awesome idea ever. I wish people could drop two grenades instead of a single one so that you have the chance to kill even more people. It's nice having that peace of mind that when I die I have the change to kill someone so that maybe my k/d ratio won't be so bad. It's great watching people come running around the corner where I just died, and BOOM they're dead! It's so freaking awesome!!! I'm one 3l1t3 d00d.

There's other perks I could use in that slot like deep impact, steady aim, or even last stand. But no, I choose my martyrdom because it works 60% of the time 100% of the time. I mean sure, you might take out a teammate once in a while, but it's a risk worth taking. Who cares about teammates anyway, I'll just use my airstrike and place it over the bulk of my team. I also make sure to have my trusty desert eagle as my side arm because that always worked good in counter strike. Sure, it only has seven bullets, but they're powerful!

Fuck you martyrdom stop killing me. And learn how to use an airstrike you retards.

cnet boycott?
Phoenix0783 | 1:57 AM on 12.03.2007 5 comments


Apparently a bunch of gamespot's own members will be boycotting the site and all of cnet in general. I got this in my inbox over at gamespot the other day:

"Attention.

Please do not go on GameSpot, GameFAQs, CNET, Download.com, TV.com, et cetera... do not go on ANY CNET site. Logout and DO NOT GO ON AT ALL from 12am EST on Monday (that's midnight tonight) until 12am EST on Tuesday. Don't come on the site, don't Google the site, don't click on a link to the site - don't do ANYTHING that generates a page view, search engine hit, or *anything*

A lot of Gamespotter's more prominant posters will be taking this action to show solidarity with the staff (and Jeff) who have to fear their jobs being lost if they speak their mind. So for their inability to speak on this issue *we'll show CNET our silence*.

This issue is bigger than you, it's bigger than me - it's bigger than GameSpot. This is about big business being able to use *buy* public opinion. Rather than live in a world where the media is controlled entirely by those with the most money, I want to live in a world where gamers who are living for their hobby (these guys truly work because of their passion for gaming, not the paycheck) can say what they truly feel about a game.

So let's do the right thing and show solidarity with Jeff Gerstmann - if he can't go to work on Monday at GameSpot then neither will we."

Hopefully, this will send a message to CNET that buying favorable reviews isn't the way business should be conducted.

Destructoid Login

After sitting around for many months trying everything that popped into my little head to be able to login with my destructoid account I created about a year ago, I decided to try and login on a whim about 2 seconds ago. And it worked! Hmm, I wonder why the software decided to play nice all of a sudden? I worked with niero over a couple of weeks four or five months ago and tried to solve the problem and we got it fixed... Until I logged out and logged back in to make sure it was really fixed. Guess what? It didn't work. I didn't feel like pestering niero anymore so I've been browsing without being logging in since. Hallelujah!
