Back from some more shit

Ummmm, well, shit has been going on. I actually live by a river and not so long ago there was long period of rainfall. Due to the massive rainfalls, i had to move to my old place on the other side of my hometown. Many rivers left their riverbeds and, well, my mom decided it was best to move out for a couple of days to a week. There i had no internet, so you might guess what sort of boreness i felt lol. I also got my phone fixed. I found a brand new battery, a very rare one, payed top euro for it (15€).  I guess i'm back to post more! I'll talk to you peeps soon. Laters.

The chase after Makarov continues - Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 REVIEW

Modern Warfare 2 is the best CoD in the series, with all its content and thingies that we would have never expected. Modern Warfare 3, on the other hand, can be described as copy-paste or 'i've seen this before'. The game isn't bad, but so much same stuff is just ridiculous that this game could have been put out as a DLC, not as a 60 dollar release with no new stuff in it.
PRESENTATION
The campaign is a short, but satisfying experience, the story is clear, you play as Yuri, Price or some American or British soldier trying to kill Makarov. The story could have been longer, but IW got shut down a year before the release of MW3, so not that much money was given to them by Activision (AKA not that many fucks were given). I enjoyed the 4-5 hour campaign, it, indeed, had some amazing scenes. Shifting between Cpt. Price, Yuri and Soap is cool, and the story is quite interesting. The world is under the siege of a terrorist, Vladimir Makarov. Makarov is an example of a modern Hitler, with a few more extensions such as the word Russian written on his forehead. While there are no unexpected twists and turns, the campaign is mostly a pile of gun shootouts and very few intercations followed by some more shootouts. The AI of the soldiers is still the same (yes, which equals to mediocre). Enemies will still rush at you full speed to feed you with that brand new stock they bought at the local Russian gun store. Sometimes, enemies just stay put in one particular place until you come to knife them (they don't even notice you coming).
GRAPHICS
CoD: Modern Warfare 3 uses the same old engine used in CoD 4 and CoD: MW2, which makes the game look like... Meh. The same old props, the same models, the same guns that don't look polished since MW2... Just ultra-meh. I have found a door (yes, a white steel door) used since CoD 3 multiple times, usually where the enemy spawner is. With all this being the same as before, there is something new and strong, and those are the system requirements... But, don't get confused, i'm sure there was a mistake made by IW, and i think people even with single core CPUs (3.0 GHz) can run this game at least on the lowest settings.
MULTIPLAYER
After the great and satisfying campaign comes the multiplayer (along with Special Ops). It has been changed, but not necessarilly. New perks haven't been brought in, only their names have been changed (Assassin) or split into more different ones (Cold blooded has split into Blind eye and Assassin). Brand new things like the strike package, which allowes you to change the way you play (e.g. Assault gives you the normal killstreak system where when you die, your killstreak progress vanishes or Support where when you die, your killstreak progress persists). Assault has better killstreaks than support BTW. There also are, besides weapon attachments, weapon proficiencies. Proficiencies are like weapon perks that don't apply for the entire class you're using. E.g. kick reduces recoil and impact increases depth of bullet impact on stronger materials. Many of the maps look like the campaign mission maps, as before. On the other hand, there is Spec Ops, something we've already seen in MW2. Nothing's been changed, which I find good. As before, you beat smaller missions and you gain stars to unlock other new and better missions. This can be played in either multiplayer or singleplayer.

+                            -
    Great campaign                             Dull graphics
    Fun multiplayer                             'Seen before'
    Spec Ops

THE VERDICT
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is a fun game, it's potential is seen all around, while the dynamic charm makes me play it more every kill. I give this game an 8.7. For more game reviews, check out my blog. Laters.

The good old days...

When i was about 10 or11, i played my PS3 a lot, and when i say a lot i mean ALL DEY, ERRY DAY, until it broke meh :/. I played the heck out of CoD MW2 and i raged over the mic a lot, but i wasn't really a squeeker, my voice was actually pretty deep for that age. I would usually rage in my language, and some other German kids would join in with their German language (maybe they were Italians, i dunno). I came to a time where i would gain a prestige in two days, until i got bored on the 10th and bought BO I. BO I wasn't as good as MW2, i mostly got bored of it, even though it had some new fun game modes. The thing is, BO I died pretty fast after the releases of MW3 and BO II. MW3 was satisfying, mostly because it reminded me of MW2. I was still a rager, but mostly for trolling purposes. Yeah, trolling as a rager doesn't pay out, at least it sounds like it doesn't, but it does. Since i live in Europe, i mostly get into games with Germans, Brits, French, Dutch, Hungarian people and a lot of them rage andhave higher voices, and most people think that trolls have no life, but on the contrary they have a lot more of that 'life' in them than any other kid they troll. That's about it. I hope i'll be able to upload some troll montages onto my channel when i get my new PC (if i even get one). Laters.

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

Yes, we are back at it again... At this time of year, either IW or Treyarch (in the last few years VICE and Sledgehammer games also) announce a brand new CoD game. I remember when CoD: World at War was released, so much hype, almost 0% hate towards the franchise, and a year later, at the release of MW2, my favourite CoD, everything was just screaming 'Call of Duty'. Right now, i just play CoD BO II because it's a nice game, i don't have anything against Ghosts either other than its dull graphics, which aren't THAT BAD, but they aren't pretty either. Don't get me wrong, but, the only reason so many people hate on CoD is because it's almost the same game year after year after CoD BO I. I really have nothing against same graphics over and over again, look at Counter Strike for e.g, the game has some really muddy textures that've been here for a bit less than a decade. BF4 looks cool, a bit better looks than in BF3, cannot be compared to the CoD graphics equality but eh, there isn't much diff in BF either. It's not like i'm choosing sides here, but as much as people hated CoD or BF, those two games have outlived and will outlive many gaming franchises. These games will always have their gaming communities and fanbases (gamerbases lol). CoD: Advanced Warfare looks beyond what i expected, however, there still are signs of a polished 'Ghosts' game. The faces in Ghosts were nice too, and i doubt Kevin Spacey's face would be much different in that game. Other stuff such as abilities look cool, but i really don't like the idea of cloaking, because i got tired of it in Crysis 2 and 3 because of all the campers and such which of in CoD there are a billion. I have nothing against a futuristic era as long as there are no superpowers like in Crysis. You can check out the reveal trailer on YouTube. Laters.

So, who really is Boomer Kutlača (pronounced as Kutlacha)

A lot of my friends and people i know ask me who is Boomer Kutlacha. Well, it all started in 6th grade of Primary school, i did not have anything else to do other than reading a boring book, so i fetched myself a piece of paper and started drawing a comic book. At first i used to draw something based on what happened that day or the previous day or the previous week etc etc. Humans would be made out of a head, torso and limbs and legs along with feet. Shoes would mostly be the same on everybody, i would mostly make a difference based on characters' shirts because all of their faces were the same too. After a year or so, i got bored of drawing myself along with my friends in some boring events no one cared about, so i thought of a character who is of my nationality, but doesn't live here. In just 10 seconds i came up with a name that i would be awarded, honoured, blessed for for the next 3 years. The guy's name was Boomer Kutlača (Kutlača in my language means 'a big spoon' or whatever, i dunno how to translate that, and is a real life surname used today in my country). The comic book name was 'Crazy adventures of Boomer Kutlača'. Just after a few months, my arts teacher saw some of my work and she told me that i should send some of my work to a competition, so i did. Totally unexpectedly, after a month i was told that i got 10th place in my country. I was dazzled, it just came out of nowhere. A simple hobby turned into something serious, and i never expected it to be happening... I still draw episodes from time to time, but free time is never an option in Middle School. Anyways, that's how it all started, but i doubt it will turn into something way more serious because mom and dad don't really want me to be a comic book artist because comic book artists don't usually get that much money for their work. I'll talk to you all in a bit, hopefully. Laters.

The bearded Noah

I was at the movies with some friends the other week and we went to watch 'Noah' starring Russel Crowe. The movie was cool, and it had some unexpected fight scenes, but not too many of them. I wish i could have watched it with another friend of mine, because i think we would have had more fun and laughs than i had with my friends. Anyways, i recommend everyone to see this piece of eye candy! Laters.
