Battle Field 3

The Battle Field Bad Company franchise is soon going to be coming out with a new game, Battle Field 3. The makers of this game reportadly went to an actual military exercise to get a grip on what the battlefield is really like. This will most likely make this game freakin' orgasmic. They will be focusing on an even better destructable enviornment, better sound effects, and the most realistic first person war game, so far. Everything about this game will be better. This game shall be an amazing orgasmic experience ;)

Carmelo Anthony Gets Traded to the New York Knicks.

 The Denver Nuggets have finally decided to trade Carmelo Anthony to the New York Knicks. This trade is obviously a big deal for the Knicks considering they traded  Danilo Gallinari, Raymond Felton, Wilson Chandler, and Timofey Mozgov, all for one player.

Anthony is expected to sign a 3 year-$65 million dollar extension with the Knicks. I think that it might make the 4 players being traded

kinda mad or something because they're all getting

traded so the Knicks can have just one player.

 But then again, they make millions of dollars so

they probably don't care who they play for or whatever

 as long as they're rich. 

Call of Duty: Black Ops

Call of Duty: Black Ops Smashes Sales Records

Activision has announced that Call of Duty: Black Ops has grossed $650 million within its first five days on sale worldwide. This beats last years Modern Warfare 2 by over $100 million. Call of Duty has become the first entertainment property in history to set five-day launch records for two consecutive years across all forms of entertainment.

Over 2.6 million unique gamers logged 5.9 million multiplayer hours on Xbox LIVE on 9th of November. The game was also a tremendous success on the PlayStation 3.

Black Ops has also set new sales records in the United Kingdom; Two million copies of the game were sold in five days, beating the previous record holder, Modern Warfare 2, by over 10 percent. The Xbox 360 was the best selling version of Call of Duty: Black Ops in the game's opening week. Out of the 2 million sold copies in the UK, 55 percent were Xbox 360 versions and 42 percent PlayStation 3. The PC, DS and Wii versions took the remaining 3 percent.

My Opinion: The new CoD game is good, honestly in my opinion it could've been better.The graphics should've been done by Infinity Ward rather than Treyarch, Treyarch Sucks! The campaign was pretty orgasmic, also the multiplayer is better set up than MW2. The way they made the guns and how you get gun attachments and camo etc, was a good choice. It makes the player a lot more independent on what they want on their guns.
                   The sales were better for BLOPS than MW2 by millions. The CoD franchise is probably the most successful 1st person shooter franchise of all time, in my opinion. Although there were some minor problems with it and it was slightly disappointing, it is still a fun game. Of course the next CoD will beat BLOPS and it will just be an on going process of games out selling the last one. CoD 4evr!

Medical Marijuana, Good or Bad? ;)

Debate highlights medical marijuana controversy

The two sides of the Colorado Springs medical marijuana dispensary debate had it out on live television Tuesday night as a pair of city councilmen who support the booming businesses took on two politicians who want them banned.
It’s an issue that could wind up before voters under a recently passed state law that allows cities and counties to ban dispensaries with a public vote.
The push to regulate dispensaries has been led by Colorado Springs councilmen Sean Paige and Tom Gallagher, outspoken defenders of Amendment 20. The amendment, approved by voters in 2000, gives Coloradans the right to use medical marijuana to treat debilitating medical conditions.
“This is a personal medical choice that government should stay out of,” Paige told a standing room-only crowd of more than 100 at Penrose Public Library. “We need to be guided by reason, not overreaction.”
The other side was represented by 4^th Judicial District Attorney Dan May and state Rep. Mark Waller, a former prosecutor.
“Those voters approved the use of medical marijuana when they approved Amendment 20 and we need to ask them what they meant,” said Waller, advocating for a public vote on dispensaries.
The debate, sponsored by The Gazette, KOAA television and the Pikes Peak Library District, highlighted the community struggle with a drug that remains illegal under federal law.
Medical marijuana businesses in Colorado were sparse until 2009, when the federal government decided to not enforce its laws in states where marijuana is medically legal.
Now, the city has more than 200 medical marijuana businesses, and the state health department is getting more than 1,000 patient applications for medical marijuana use daily.
The state reacted to the growth in May by passing a measure that allows local bans, among other things.
Since the new state regulations took hold in July, a Colorado Springs group has pushed to put a ban on the ballot here. Next week, El Paso County commissioners will consider a public vote on a dispensary ban. Dispensary backers say the drug, though, will have a smaller community impact than alcohol, which remains legal statewide.
“It’s not a demon plant,” said Gallagher. “It’s amazing, the misconceptions and myths that have grown up around this issue.”
May said marijuana businesses add to the community’s misery.
“I have had five marijuana murder cases since I have been in office,” said May, who was elected in 2008.
May supports the “caregiver model,” which allows people to grow marijuana in their homes for as many as five patients.
Paige said banning the businesses would accomplish nothing.
“We had 210 bank robberies in the city last year and nobody is advocating closing down banks,” Paige responded.

My Opinion: I believe that marijuana should be legal to people who need it for medical reasons. It is a good thing to help people with pain or stress or whatever, but not good for kids who just want to smoke it for no reason..haha. It also could possibily help with the economy if they make it completely legal. Marijuana isn't as bad as drugs such as; crack, cocaine, heroin, LSD, or other hardcore drugs. Personally I think that people just over react over the marijuana arguement.
