I'm not. Argentina was just the first team i really started following when i first started watching football back in 2002. Iirc that's the year Veron played and i remember him being one of my favorite players mainly cause he was one of the only names i could remember playing FIFA 10 on PS1, haha. So Argentina was kind of the team that really got me into football. Was really sad for me to see them lose, especially in such a fashion. I had a feeling Germany would win from the start, they just looked so much better than Argentina did this whole WC. But i always had my hopes up, especially when there were only 10 minutes of extra time left. Even though i think if it went to penalties Germany would have still come out on top. I don't know, was just a bit devastating seeing them concede 8 minutes before end of extra time. But big congrats the the Germans. Like i said, i think they fully deserved it.

That was so heartbreaking... I'm gonna go crawl up i a ball and cry for a bit.

2 Days go i got a Quad Feed with MSMC, yesterday with AN-94, today with Ballista. Then to put the cherry on the cake, i got the dirtiest turn-on with the Ballista. Started Sniping with a higher Sensitivity, and it's been working pretty good so far. Just had 3 insane games. Started off with Raid, went 37 - 7 or something like that, second game was Raid again, 45 - 6, third game was Carrier and it ended 46-3. All of them using the Swat-556. Have to admit on the last 2 games my streaks were going in. On the last game i think i got a combined killcount of 20-odd with Sentry, Lightning and Hellstorm. Also managed to go on an 18 gunstreak which i think is my highest on BO2. Keep getting close to picking up the Quad with the Swat, but i always seem to die just before i can get off that last burst needed. Really fun, and underrated gun. EDIT: The quad happened yesterday. Ended up playing in a lobby where the entire enemy team were sniping (actually i think 1 of them wasn't). All of them standing around the middle garden area on Raid, and they kind of just lined up perfectly for the quad. Managed to kill all 4 of them with 5 bursts. 3 of them were directly behind each other so i think that helped me out a bit. I was happy when i finally saw the Swat quad.

I've been messing around with the Lsat today. Figured that i wanted a weapon to counter Snipers, and this is kinda the perfect thing to use. Lsat with stock, quickdraw and thermal sight. It's been so much fun. Managed to get myself a few decent games with it. Someone actually sent me ragemail too, telling me i need to grow up, etc. It was hilarious.

I don't think you can really say that. From all the teams that had the chance to get to the finals, i think Argentina is the only team that kept a consistent performance throughout the tournament. They didn't 5-1 a team one day then struggle to stay alive the next. Their games might not have been the most action packed but it was always consistent. I'm not expecting them to beat Germany, but anything is possible. No one really expected them to beat the Dutch, and here we are.

I was scared that once it got to penalties Argentina would not have what it takes. But it seems i was wrong. I almost cried when the game was over.

Had my first quad feed on Console today. It was with the R870 with no attachments/perks on Raid. It was beautiful. Stunned over ZigZag wall to see if there's anyone there, ran around through art and stunned again, saw 4 of them standing there with their faces in their hands and i went to work. It was funny, because it takes me a class with no attachments and perks to get a quad.

I got the 6 kill one today on Nuketown TDM. I guess nuketown would be one of the best places to get it if you managed to rush their spawn and your teammates dont flip it.

That's me with the DSR. Some games i'll rip face, hitting at least 4 of the 5 bullets in the magazine, other games i'll miss an entire clip on an enemy standing still. It can be pretty frustrating. But in general my sniping isn't too good. I play on 7 sensitivity (was 5 at first) so it can get pretty hard to drag the scope onto someone moving. I try though, when i snipe, to not have a secondary at all. I find that i snipe a lot better. Maybe it's because i need to have more confidence in my shot. It's been working out alright so far. EDIT: Just had what i think is my highest scoring game of TDM thus far. Went 47 - 4 on Hijacked. Really wish i could have hit that 50. But i had a 5 man Hellstorm which i thought was pretty hilarious.

Well he was at Zig Zag (i think that's what the callout used to be). He first killed 4 players running through pillars (then pretty much the entire team spawned in garage) which made it easy for him to kill the res running towards Zig Zag. And i'm on GMT +2. But yeah i used to run high streaks for about the first half of my levels but soon realised that they don't really pay off as well as they did in MW3. In mw3 my standard loadout will be Pred, Reaper and ZC130. If i get one, usually i get them all. It's pretty easy to get them consistently too. In BO2 i tried going with something like Stealth, Escort drone and Loadstar, but getting to the Stealth is already a 9 or 10 streak, which i can't do consistently enough to make it worth while. So now i just stick to hellstorm, lightning strike and sentry gun. If i play decent i can get them 2 or 3 times a game easily. All you really need is a 6 streak for the hellstorm, which gets you the lighting, which gets you the sentry gun. I was playing on Plaza the other day and i managed to get 2 sentries within like the first 2 minutes of the game. Put them fazing each side in the center of the map. It was beautiful chaos. I think the sentries alone got me like 15 kills that game.

Not sure what happened with the Netherlands but they're not looking like they'll get to the Finals. I'm going to say that Argentina will probably beat them in the Semi's now, and meet Germany in the finals.

Just dropped my parents off at the Airport. They'll be spending the next 3 weeks in France and Italy. Meanwhile i have 4 bottles of Jack, 4 bottles of Absolute, 8 cases of beer, 2 bottles of tequila and 500 M^2 of house ready for a party.

At first I thought it was Sandy Ravage, but then saw who it was. Never seen a video from Soldier before though. They have the exact same style of gameplay and are both absolute beasts. I love playing that way too, but I'm not as good at staying alive. Also, Dat minimap usage. Pretty much same here. Which results in me playing a bit more passively. Even when i use an SMG i can't just rush like that. I'll get 3 or 4 kills and end up dying. Reached 55. 1.92 KD and 344 SPM. Not too bad for TDM only i suppose. I have a pretty bad W/L (0.90) but i guess that's what you can expect if you play solo. I'm not too fussed about W/L anyway. Usually, even if we lose, i either have most kills on at least in the top 3 (assuming i don't join really late). I've had a few pretty good games, with the 35-1 still being my best. I really hate Hijacked and Nuketown though. I don't know why, but they seem a lot worse on Console than they did on PC. I struggle to find a gun that really works well for me on those two maps. I've been thinking about using a shotgun (M1216 because i loved it on PC) but i don't want to be "one of those guys". But i think i might just end up doing it anyway. I kind of want to try out some League Play, but it's been taking a long time to match me which only means that i'll most likely end up playing on a 2 bar or something. So i feel like it's not worth wasting time. Also, some guy got a clip on us in TDM (Raid) it was kind of... unexpected. 9 man feed with a single, single, double, double, triple. Not sure how it happened. I was part of the triple. It all happened so fast, but now i'm probably part of someone's montage, lol.

Yeah i used it on nuketown yesterday and i was at the C spawn garage. 3 people rounded the corner, perfectly lined up. Got a triple. I've never even been able to do that with a sniper, lol. I burst out laughing just out of pure enjoyment. I started using the M8 yesterday. I never really used it on PC bcause i felt like it just wasn't as good on PC as it seemed on Console. It's a damn beast. Seriously liking it so far. I'm also doing a lot better with the Scorpion than i did on PC. Well, pretty much any gun tbh. I don't know, but recoil just doesn't seem like a factor on console.

Pretty much just TDM, which i guess would explain it. If i play any other game type it's overrun with parties, and i end up having to (try) carry. Earlier on my first Dom game, i ended up going something like 40 - 25 with the most captures and defends, rest of the team all went negative except for one guy that was even. Other team pretty much had permanent VSAT the second round. So i decided that was probably the last time i'll try anything else. Even in TDM i find myself having to carry half the time, which is hilarious because i'm really not that kind of player. Gotta admit though, i can see why people complained about snipers so much. When you're playing against a lobby full of Ballistas it can get quite frustrating.

I gave in and got this on console today. Ummm.... people in my region are really bad. I'm currently on a 2.5 KD, i had a 35 - 1 game the game i decided to try out the Loadstar, and i'm actually doing pretty well over all. This is so much easier than on PC.

Few things i should mention, if it turns out she is pregnant: 1. I'm not sure how the laws work in your state, but i'm sure the final choice to terminate or continue lies with her. You should not encourage her to do either, but rather support her with whatever choice she makes. If she decides to continue and you don't want to play any role, you need to make that clear from day one. Again, i'm not sure how the laws are in your state but child support will probably be something you'd have to think about then. This does not mean game over, this just means a bit of extra work. Yes, raising a child can be expensive, but if her parents are devout Catholics as you said, then they probably will help support the child as well. 2. If she decided to terminate, i suggest the both of you see a therapist first or maybe go to planned parenthood or something, and talk to someone about the possible physiological affects this could have on both of you. You might think it's silly for you to be physiologically affected by this, but you might be. Both of you just need to sit down and talk about this. Not now, but when you have both calmed down a bit. Whatever choice you (as in both of you) decide to make, be aware that it will have an impact on your life whether big or small. But all i ask is that both of you think before you make any decisions.

Soooo... I was playing some MW3... Decided to try go for a MOAB, since it's something i've never achieved. Finally get into a lobby full of pretty bad players. But one of the guys on my team was pretty good as well... Basically the game ended with me sitting on a 23 gunstreak and having put a few hitmarkers in the last kill i needed for the MOAB. Heartbreaking.

Dude your life is GAME OVER if you decide to be a father at your age Well it will be with that sort of attitude.

I actually think, after the last few matches, that this WC is going to get a lot more interesting. The Brazil - Colombia game will definitely be a good one. I'm very curious to see what's going to happen between the Argentina - Belgium game, though. According to statistics, Belgium and Argentina are the top two teams for attempts at goal. They're also the two teams who have conceded the least amount of goals (well Argentina has conceded one more than Belgium). On paper though, Argentina should have a bit of an advantage having committed less fouls and having a slightly better passing game. It only really takes a bit of magic from Messi and Di Maria. These two teams seem to match up extremely well though. It's going to be interesting.

When you find out whether she is or not, just think carefully about what you two want to do. But for now, just take a deep breath and stay rational. Something like this can very easily cloud one's judgement and thoughts.

Yeah when me and one of my friends from the US play 2v2 then we use a mic. He doesn't really say much but i try and make some call-outs (i feel like watching MLG has turned me into a sweaty CoD player). I enjoy playing with people who have mics, even if mine's not plugged in. As long as they don't have noise in the background or think it's cool to play bad music through their mics then it's all good. And yeah reason i play on such a low sensitivity is because i've found that it actually improved my aim a lot. I used to play much higher but if i had to snap on to a target i'd always over compensate and end up shooting like 10 feet to his side. Only negative about 4 is Sniping. If you're trying to drag onto a target that's mid range it's hilarious. Also i got some more good news today. My VISA for Greece will be ready tomorrow. So come August i'll be able to write my first of 14 exams (for the second time). EDIT: Well, i'll be taking 6 of the 14.

You're not aware of the reputation CoD (especially console CoD) has in the States, then... :-D Well... It's full of whiny 12 year olds that think it's okay to curse when their parents aren't home. I'm quite aware, lol.

Been playing pretty much nothing but MW3 for the past 10 days now. Something i've noticed is that Console players seem to shoot down Air Support a lot less than PC players. Or maybe i'm just getting lucky with the lobbies i get put in. Another thing i've noticed is that every time i come across a trash talker they seem to be American. I don't know if that's a coincidence or just a testament of the over all sportsmanship of Americans. Before i started playing again my KD was at 0.609 (shocking, i know), but i've managed to get it up to 0.930 so far. My monthly KD being 1.21 at the moment. Should have an overall 1.0 KD in no time. It's been pretty fun actually managing to get some decent streaks and use some of the Killstreaks i never got to use before. I went on a 25-0 streak earlier today, on Mission (Domination) only for the host to Dashboard. Kind of sucked, but it is what it is. So far my highest Gunstreak has been 15. I'm starting to think that if i have 1 or 2 people to run support for me i could actually get a MOAB. Something i've never really thought of being able to do. PP90M1 with Rapidfire is the godweapon. It melts. Probably my favorite gun. Also i've started playing with my headset on, and soundwhoring is extremely cheap. If you play on a map that has any sort of wooden or steel surface you can hear enemies from halfway across the map. I managed to get a dirty turn-on when i was playing SnD with a friend of mine, to get a threepiece killcam. The guy i turned on sent me a message calling me a tryhard and mocking me for playing on such a low sensitivity (i play on 4). I just laughed at being able to turn on someone with such a low sensitivity. I've been thinking about getting BO2 for console. An idea that's been stuck in my head for a few days now. But i'm not sure what the online traffic is like. And more specifically, what it's like in my region. Also a friend and i decided to sign up for a LAN event taking place next weekend. We signed up for 2v2 SnD tournament, with ~$3 000 prize money for each winner. He's pretty good, but very impatient. SnD isn't exactly his forte, but i find myself to be a very passive player in SnD so i'm hoping we can pull it through. I know a few of the guys that we'll be playing against and i feel like we have a pretty good shot at placing at least top 3. If not... well doesn't really matter anyway. I think we're both just doing this for the heck of it. Neither of us have ever done something like this so it should be a fun new experience. We've been playing a bit together the past day or two trying to get used to each other's playstyles. It's kind of funny. Two grown men taking this serious like it's our job. But it's fun.

Everything seemed to have gone alright. Apparently my grandfather had a condition where his blood was too think, so they had to draw some blood every month. My dad thinks he might have the same type of thing. I don't know. He's going back to the hospital today to get a few more tests done. And i have to admit i was kind of shocked my my parents told me what the hospital bill came to. My dad spent 6 hours in the "Urgent Section" had an ECG and one or two other tests done, and of course the Ambulance to the hospital and it all cost 11 Riyals which is $3 US. Kind of crazy. And the only sort of Medical Insurance we have is a health card that costs $30 a year to renew. Sometimes this country can be a pretty shitty place to live, but at times like these i guess it's not half bad.
