Ghosts has that too, I believe it's called Squads. It's definitely a plus for learning the maps, but the bots don't have the insidious tactics that human players do.

I remember watching it as a kid and thinking to myself, "Holy shit, this is a diamond in the rough!"

"Dude, there's no way I can do infinity push-ups."

I remember that bridge one, with the helicopters that came down the sides, I think. Yeah that was really hard.

You mean like the Special Ops co-op modes? I think that was just MW2 and MW3 (I didn't play the "off year" titles). Ghosts doesn't have it. And yeah, those were a lot of fun. I remember running that mission on the plane about 30 times with a friend trying to complete the hard mode or whatever. Pretty satisfying once

I always play it. Maybe not right off the bat, but I always get to it sooner or later. I actually played through the campaign on Ghosts two and a half times— once on regular, once on veteran or hardened or whatever, and then I started it again once I upgraded to XBone, but never finished.

I find nude snakes offensive, starting a Change.org petition to require all snakes wear tasteful clothing

Venkman cuts through, in a way. He gets things done, but as someone mentioned above, his sarcasm is sometimes an impediment. He makes it unnecessarily difficult at times. You might be right, though—if Winston is the pragmatist, that might nullify Venkman's ability to occasionally "rise above" and step into that role,

Was he trying out for a part in "The Life Aquatic" in that video?

There's only one story left in the Spider-Verse that the public is clamoring for, and that is obviously the story John Jameson, J. Jonah Jameson's astronaut son who is also a wolf.

MY GOD, IT'S FULL OF HOLES

I actually like him in that role; but if they had explored that a little— given the character (and by extension the other characters) the ability to recognize that and appreciate that, making that an active philosophy, making Winston part of the team as opposed to an outsider that just goes along for the ride— he

Yeah, I was just thinking that. At least he got one fantastic line.

My favorite books of his are probably either The Regulators or Desperation. I can't remember offhand which came first. I consider them gateway books— to that point I hadn't read a hell of a lot of "adult" fare, and I found the idea of toying with a universe liberating from a creative perspective.

Those were the days— when you'd buy CDs just because you had tons of cash and no bills, and what else were you going to buy? I think that's how I came to acquire not one, but two Spin Doctors albums.

Actually most cover albums/songs in general have a really short life for me. Unless the artist takes ownership of the song (as Johnny Cash did) or they're songs whose originals I don't recognize, it's a novelty that wears off fairly quickly.

I had it. I also have "Fade to Bluegrass" somewhere, which is pretty great, though there's a threshold after which it gets on your nerves.

No worries. I wouldn't call "Love" a great film, but it was strange and compelling and has its merits. I watched it streaming on Netflix, but it might not be there anymore.

I wish they'd make a movie centered on the MMO years, where all the characters are just basically grinding kills and materials for marginal upgrades scene after scene.

I was a 7-year player who went through various periods of intensity. I think I enjoyed the experience most fully during Burning Crusade, and everything went slowly down hill from there.
