I am back! I took a week off from CoD around Christmas to go see family, get sick, sleep and eat and boy was it relaxing. Side note, if you are going to get sick make sure it reaches it's pinnacle at mom's house. It was like being a little kid again and I loved it.
While I was away I really missed playing the game and hanging with my x30x family. So I got home, plugged back in on Saturday and jumped into a giant group of 30v30 Ground War. I was rusty and wasn't playing particularly well but having a great time. Then at one point I my old familiar friend Rage dropped in (you know that little monster on your shoulder that sounds a lot like El Presador). I couldn't kill anything, connection was spotty (see my Hang Time vid) and my blood started to simmer. Then it dawned on me.....Failtage. The only thing I do well and with regularity is die, so why not celebrate it. I was trying my hardest to level up a couple of shotty's and launchers so I knew I had ample footage. From that point on, I just had fun with it looking for my many mistakes to celebrate. Then a strange thing happened.....I played better. Connection was the same, 16 of the players were the same, guns were the same but just that little change in mindset helped me play a little better. You will see a clip in the middle where the idea of "Mistakes were made" came to light. At that moment I somehow thought I would beat up the game by committing CoDicide
So here are the fruits of my failure.

We should get a group of 10-15 of us and just do stupid shit for a few hours and have one of our resident movie editors whip something up.
How many of us could we fit in that hot tub on hijacked?? Followed by a barrage of dropped grenades...

Thanks guys, it was a lot of fun to make...the editing, not so much the craptastic gameplay it took to create the content.
BLACKHAWXX, at the end of the MW3 days we would get together a group on the PS3 side and run an "asshattery class" for a session. Basically we would set up classes and killstreaks to annoy people. 6 people shooting off javelins every life or rpg's, everyone drop bouncing bettys all over the place, set up a wall of remote sentrys, 6 person simultaneous stealth bomber spam or litter an area with airdrop traps. Whatever crazy stuff we could come up with was always a fun session and I highly recommend it.

Hey Nuke, funny shit and thanks for making me feel good about my game play. I agree with Yellow G, "F off Friday" sounds perfect. Can always use a good laugh at the end of the week.
