About Me
Iam a gammer from the harsh uruguayan jungle (we dont even have a jungle down here, too cold, go and do some wikipedia of Uruguay). I used to do a podcast in spanish about videogames at Radio LevelUp but I dont do it anymore... anyway those guys are there still making it so you can give it a try if you understand spanish
And i can say "�aca �aca �aca" and i know how to pronoaunce it well since im a spanish speaker, so Im a superior race.
A couple of idiots may find funny that I dont have good english grammar, but again, they are probably idiots since they only speak/write one language...
Most of my time in the internet is because of games. I love videogames so much that i sleep with my girlfriend and my ds, at the same time... i call that a "threesome" and my humor doesnt get anything better than that.
Mostly im a PC gamer, i was going to buy a 360 but faulty crappy hardware told me not to since if it goes RRoD here I would have lost my money, and as a man Im entitled to the sweat of my brow. I want to fuck the Wii and I believe the PS3 is going to be the first console in space.
In the "real" life (come on, internet now is part of our lives anyway...), I study medicine (takes a lot of time and I cant spend enough of my time playing videogames). Is not what you would call a marriage made in heaven, if I wanted to game more I should have sutdy something related to pc�s, but I grown surrounded by computers and stuff so I chose the bio stuff instead. Anyway, little time to play video games if you dont want my biographical shit.
And the main reasson I play games for the story behind them. I love well written stories like Half Life series, of course Portal (kind of a Valve fan). Other great games include World Of Warcraft (not currently playing, actually I was never hardcore, but I enjoyed the experience a lot), and of course the classics like System Shock 2. Other great titles had stuck with me over the years, classics adventure games like Monkey Island, Indiana Jones and Grim Fandango.
So, best game experiences:
Half Life 2 (and the original Half Life of course).
System Shock 2
Grim Fandango
Indiana Jones and the Fate Of Atlantis
Monkey Island

Nowadays for PC gamers everything seems to be IW new “hate” against us. So I’m writing something to sum up how I feel about this bad joke from a developer I used to respect. Since most of the people over here don’t care, maybe because they all play games on consoles anyway, Im going to send this straight to IW (since Activision is probably getting too much hate mail anyway).
Dear IW. Quoting: [i]“All I can say is that we changed it to make it a better and easier experience. Also, not all of the names on that list are legit," said Infinity Ward, when talking about the MW2 server petition and downplaying the significance of its 178,000 signatures. "402 signed it 4 times I heard," adds IW's Mackey McAndlish, while also revealing that, "Games cap out at 9v9. The software has great latency tolerance."[/i] A logical explanation of course, capped to 9v9 while you can get up to 32 players on a TF2 match or whatever other FPS on PC with a dedicated server... An easier experience? Of course, because a list of server with a couple of filters like ping, number of players and type of game is SOOO CONFUSING that even my grandma wouldn’t know what to do with it… so much clicks can disturb anyone (that was sarcasm btw, I’m just pointing this out because from all the stupid decisions you have made who can really say if you got it). I mean, matchmaking is O.K. but what about… you know, the freedom to choose something? A real shame that a developer that was so friendly with PC on COD4 had turned 180 degrees towards stupidity if you ask anyone who knows or cares dear developer. Because the support of COD4 for the PC was quite awesome. Is very sad to see all the support COD4 was getting for the PC and now... nothing. Matchmaking, 60usd price tag and no dedicated servers. And what is sadder is that you would have sell more on the PC platform. I bought COD4 last year because of the MP over STEAM guys, and I’m from Latin America, 50usd for me is a lot of money. Don’t call me a pirate because I do PC gaming, I know more people with an xbox right here that doesn’t own a single official copy while I have a huge list of games on STEAM that I bought… all their 360´s are cracked. So what is up with that? They still play on Xbox live and they still pirate all the games. And at the end of the day a company says “buh, pirates on PC´s”, and that’s it for the PC port? Way to go with the logic there! I know that you as a developer don’t seem to count that much PC gaming (as every other gaming journalist nowadays it seems). Mouse flu or something? Afraid of video cards maybe? Too much freedom to play as you like? Is Modern Warfare 2 a virus that will spread like Ebola if you don’t have it contained in a boring environment? I don’t know the real argument of IW and you master “Activision”, for such dumb and stupid moves on the PC side, but they all suck, no matter if it is pirates or because they want to deliver "better MP" (lets call it "stupid MP"). I have nothing against matchmaking, but a list of dedicated servers with a couple of filters is nothing a user can’t handle... so, come on, just say the word "money" and "screw pc gaming" and call it a day IW. Really don’t treat us like retarded kids. Because that is the most infuriating thing of all the issue. I know that PC gamer here don’t count that much, but still, let’s face it, this is a "screw you" for every customer that has supported the series on the PC platform that saw the game born. I know the reason behind it is money, and that is O.K. too since I like money. [b]But thinking that dumbing down a version of a game for the sake of anti-piracy and convenience is going to make you do more money with that version is so stupid that I’m going to make you see the error doing the most logical thing: I’m going to pirate the game and not even play it at all.... I’m going to give away free pirate copies on the streets, send them by mail to Africa in TB med shipments, I will even send a pirated copy to Valve HQ for them to see how retarded and stupid your decisions regarding PC gaming are. And then I’m going to sh** on a good copy, a legit copy, put it on a box with a camera and make it deliver to you IW.[/b] And I’m going to stop there.... only after uploading the video to YouTube because Im just another internet troll. So beware of boxes being deliver to your offices.

I think Valve would be happy to see that people aren't buying their competitor's products.
Then I tell them the average computer, that they're typing that ignorant comment on, can probably run most FPS games. Then I tell them they can plug a controller in, and play no problem if they have disdain for a mouse and keyboard. Then I tell them they can just hook their PC up to their TV and game on there, with dedicated servers/mod support/free DLC for most shooters if they have a problem gaming on a monitor. Then I tell them that you can make a great PC for cheaper than a launch console.
LOL PC SUX! LETS KEEP FACILITATING THE STEREOTYPE!
"We're, of course, watching this very carefully and paying attention to it," he said in response to a financial analyst asking about the impact of the loud complaints among PC gamers.
"But we're not overly concerned about it," he continued. "One of the problems with our PC SKUs in the past is that it has not been as friendly a consumer experience in terms of matchmaking and online play as the consoles have allowed it to be. Our solution here improves that consumer experience overall by a significant margin. And so we we think that the benefits we will see are going to far outweigh any negatives that seem to be surfacing."
You mean the stable dedicated servers that breed community, as opposed to random matchmaking with people you'll never see again?
However this time, I don't think gamers will be there with open arms to accept their apology,
Now I return and randomly they've turned and the dark side. It doesn't make sense I tell ya! Except that Acti is forcing them on this and being an Acti company they've nothing to do but put the product out there and try to sell it.
Also Magnlon I totally agree but what do you expect when (A) you gotta admit the fanboys of PCs are very high and mighty and (B) in comes one of the biggest games of all time financially speaking at least and strips it of almost all the standards the fanboys brag about. I mean I'd be shitting on PCs too as a nice little "Fuck you," to all the fanboys I've run into over the years if I didn't feel like IW were being total asswipes.
Does anyone else find it strange that it seems that Activision's two biggest franchises seem to be the ones getting forced online features, with IWnet and BattleNet?
Heh...I don't even want to talk about it.
32v32.
Ack! I can't imagine that wouldn't be a clusterfuck. It would still be nice to have the option though.
Your butthurt tears are incredibly delicious and fuel our ascension to a higher plane, its a shame you won't buy MW2 but one person out of millions won't make that much of a difference.
With love and dollar signs in our eyes.
Activision.
All joking aside, its a simple fact that PC gaming is no longer the juggernaut it once was, more importantly PC gaming is no longer the sole platform of which a game is envisioned on, PC at this point is the last thing a company things off when making a game so you guys need to chill, you aren't the top dogs anymore and haven't been for a long time.
Oh your piracy if you choose to do it means IW was right in why they are doing this and thus your prove their point as well as propagate other companies into doing this so nice job fighting the power there bro.
So we meet again nanbu... and you like my butt tears which is creepy.
I dont get it, Im all in for a multiplatform games, I just want the developers to use the best they got in each platform, dont you? If the ps3 can handle better graphics then it should have better graphics, if the PC can deliver a better MP experience then it should deliver it, and the developers should not dumb down a version just because the argument is "a controlled enviroment".
Whats wrong with the word "options"?
I agree with your argument wholeheartedly (so much that I needed to create an account). I used to be a hardcore PC gamer before 2006. When I went off to college, money got scarce and I couldn't upgrade my rig again.
Since then, I've kept copies of STALKER and Crysis on hand, but enough about that. I do not see all the hate for PC games now a days, especially from journalists. PC gaming provided the foundation for consoles to work off of.
IW has really pissed me off to no end with their recent decisions on PC. Id possibly following suite would definitely annoy me to no end (thankfully their games suck now). If I was getting MW2, I would definitely reverse my decision. But I long burned myself out on CoD back when I finished CoD4.
I think I'm more excited for BF:BC2 than this game.
Of course I can imagine pirate LAN support for starcraft 2 far mor easy than to solve the screw up with MW2.
