How to have fun in MW3!

Having fun in Modern Warfare 3 is easy, but you have to follow these steps exactly the way they are written. Remove your MW3 disk, put in you Black Ops disk, and start playing. Seriously guys, know one realized just how great Black Ops was when we were all playing it, the game is awesome. Personally, I think it is the best CoD so far, and by far.

I think Black Ops is such an awesome game for two reasons, the first is the lack of bull-shit. This game doesn't have anything, that is common, super-annoying, and easy easy to use. Every thing that is annoying is difficult to earn, or not worth using. Such as ghost, the game is so fast paced, that nobody stares at their radar, and Flak Jacket is so awesome there isn't a reason to use the lowly Ghost perk.

The second reason is the maps. The maps in Black Ops provide a great balance between power positions, and fast paced action. Such as Summit, there is cover, but not overpowered areas with tons of cover and few entrances. Summit is very fast paced, but not chaotic, it is very possible to play a more tactical style. Another excellent map is Firing Range. This map has two really great power positions, but it is nearly impossible to occupy both, and they can be easily entered and grenaded.

So jump on Black Ops when you get a chance, and open your eyes to the best CoD so far! Thanks for reading, subscribe on the right for more, and share my blog with your friends.

Current thoughts on Infected

Infected has been out on public playlists for a while now, and the hype has died down since release. Infected is still very fun, but is almost impossible to survive, making for a very frustrating game. The most frustrating way to die is by the throwing knife, people will spawn and throw their throwing knife, die, and repeat. What is frustrating about this is that they are bound to hit one out of thirty throws, even though it doesn't take any skill. Another frustrating way to die is by a lone wolf. What I mean by this is someone who manages to sneak behind you and your teammates and knock out three or four people.

From the other side of the spectrum, the infected still have a very touch time. Instead of camping in places that are hard to reach, the survivors camp in the places in which throwing knives can't reach. Also, the throwing knife is very hard to use, unlike the tomahawk from Black Ops, which had a bit more velocity.

Overall infected is fun to play when you are just messing around, but when you want to succeed and do well, infected is a nightmare. If you liked this post, please subscribe on the right, and share it with your friends. Thanks

PC Gaming Computer

Hey guys, I recently started doing a little it of PC gaming. It is pretty cool, and I want to share the experience with others. I am building custom gaming computers for those of you who are interested. I will give a discount to anyone who tells me they came from CODTechnology.

The stock computer listed is very powerful, offering a quad core, 8 GB's of RAM, and a 500 GB hard rive. If you want to upgrade anything, that can be done.

MW3: Quick Tip for Search and Destroy

My quick tip today is very simple, yet very applicable. The tip is to not die, this may seem simple and obvious, but if you think about it, it makes sense. In search, there is often a direct correlation between numbers of players alive and winning percentage. So when playing search, don't take that aggressive rush route in hopes of a quad-feed. Instead take a route where you know you will encounter gunfight that you can easily win. As for how to not die, avoid open areas, such as the middle of Lockdown, or the middle of Carbon. Also, do not ever enter an area where the enemy has cover. Always flank when possible. Using these tactics I often go flawless in Search, and a lot of the time, I don't take even one bullet.

Thank you for reading, I hope you take this tip and apply it to your tactical play-style. If you liked this subscribe on the right with the method of your choice.

What I want in Black Ops 2

I am going to make a series of this, and make these posts up to the release of Black Ops 2. I will name and explain one thing I want in each post. This post I am going to start with a very touchy topic, maps.

I am not one to study map trends, or come up with crazy formulas to make a perfect map. I know what maps I like and don't like, and I think most people agree with me on the best maps. My first suggestion is to bring back the "3 way" maps. These are maps that have three paths to get from one side to the other. In the first Black Ops, almost all of the maps were like this. In MW3, a few carry this "3 way" characteristic. Such as Mission, Hardhat, Bootleg, and Resistance. This "3 way" deign creates choke-points where fighting can occur. This means if your team can hold down these three paths, you will almost certainly win. Another advantage of this design is that it is difficult to camp with this design. There aren't many buildings with this design, meaning that the campers have to be outside, where they are vulnerable.

My second and last suggestion is that maps smooth surfaces, rather than having a ton of rubble everywhere. This rubble makes it very difficult to see guns and people on the ground. I liked in Black Ops how the surfaces were not anywhere near the same color as the players. People camp enough as is, we don't need to add camouflage for anyone laying prone.

Denon AVR-1611 Review: Hardware

This my current home entertainment hub, all of my devices connect to this and it outputs sound to my headphones or speakers and 1080p video to my monitor. Over a couple posts I am going to be taking a look at this complex device and give you a final verdict at the end. Today I am going to start with the hardware and functions of this device

This device holds plenty of components, up to four HDMI components, and two options from digital audio. The RCA inputs can travel along the HDMI due to the up-scaling. This converts the lower quality up to a higher quality for use on an HD television. The banana plugs for speakers are great if you move things around a lot, and provide a great connection for your speakers.

The nob on the right is for volume, it is not that sensitive, making it easy to make small adjustments. The nob on the right is for changing the source. As you turn the nob it shows on screen what source you are on. The rest of the buttons are self explanatory.

My favorite feature of this device is the awesome sound. The made my Bose speakers sound much better than they did with my old Sony receiver. Another great sound component of this is the surround sound decoding. The surround sound envelopes you in crystal clear sound. This is great for gamers.

This product packs the hardware necessary for almost anyone, and also has enough power for any speakers or headphones. Thank you for reading this post! If you liked it and ant to see more content about gaming and technology products subscribe on the right via E-mail, Google, or Yahoo.

MW3: How to level up fast!

Were getting to that time again where people are tired of working through the prestige's and want to just be max rank. I am here to give some tips, and a class setup to help you reach the level you have been striving for.

The best play-style is always going to be objective, play game modes such as Domination, Sabotage, Demolition, and other games modes that give out a lot of XP for caps and plants. Get as many caps/defuses/plants as possible. Also, make sure you win the game, your match bonus is almost quadruple when you win a game.

Another tip that I have used since MW2 is to use challenges to your advantage. Go to your barracks, then to challenges and look through all of the categories and write down a couple that you are close too. Pay close attention to marksman challenges for different weapons, or the "Basic Training" challenges, which are really easy to get. During the game, while you are playing the objective, try to complete as many challenges as possible.

The following class can be used on any map and when combined with my other tips, will ensure you level up at a rate faster than all of the competition.

MP7 w/ Ext. Mag. and Silencer
Stinger

Semtex
Stun

Sleight of Hand
Hardline
Steady Aim

Specialist Package
2: Assassin
4: Stalker
6: Quickdraw

I used this strategy to rank up at the rate of 1 prestige per 10 hours of playtime. Thank you for reading, if you were delighted by this post, or if you learned something, go ahead and subscribe on the right via E-mail, Google, or Yahoo.

The New iPad: I'm Impressed

If you didn't already know "The New iPad" came out yesterday. It includes a brand new retina display, with about 3 million pixels. It has the same AMD dual-core processor, which is slightly disappointing, but the quad-core graphics make up for it in numbers. I saw a game being played on "The New iPad", it placed the user in the cockpit of a fighter jet. It was awesome, it looked like a console game being played on a tablet.

These new features give a new identity to the iPad in my opinion. I used to think of the iPad as just a web-browsing, multimedia device. Now I think it can compete with the PSP Vita and Nintendo DS. After all, with graphics better than both of those systems, "The New iPad" might just be the new king of portable gaming.

The last topic I would like to touch on about the third generation iPad is the front-facing camera. The rear facing camera is a 1080p 5 megapixel camera, which is solid. The front facing camera is VGA, need I say more? I realize that Apple sincerely believes people walk around with their iPad shooting video, but come on Apple, can you make the front facing camera the good one? Is that too much to ask? This may be nit-picking, but wait until you hear the name of the camera.(yes, they did name a camera on a tablet) They call it the "iSight". I don't need to explain the issue here.

MW3: Search and Destroy Tactics

I don't play much Search and Destroy, but a lot of people do. Search is the fourth most popular game mode in MW3, but Why? Is it the high XP per kill? The slow paced game-play? The teamwork required to win? Today I'm going to tell you two reasons why many people play search, and two reasons why I don't play Search.

The first reason why a lot of people play Search is the high XP per kill. In search you obtain 500 points per kill, and 1100 for a head-shot. There is also big bonuses for planting the bomb. The high XP numbers give people the illusion that they are gaining a lot of XP, when they are really gaining about as much as they would in Domination.

The second reason why many people play search is because they think it is a game mode that takes skill, when in reality, it is the opposite. In Search and Destroy, your lives are very limited, thus making each death more rage-inducing then in a game type like Domination. When you get killed by a grenade off the spawn, and don't have a chance to help your team, it is very annoying. So Search and Destroy doesn't take skill to win, it mostly luck, because if you are lucky you can pick a lot of easy kills. Luck in search can be as simple as a triple grenade kill, or a lucky throwing knife. Luck plays a huge role in Search due to lives being so limited.

The first reason why I don't play Search is because it amplifies bull-shit. Such as portable radar, if someone throws a portable radar near you, you won't know. The person will know exactly where you are and you won't know where they are, making for an easy kill. Another example is snipers. If a sniper pulls off a lucky shot, that I could not control, it makes me very frustrated with the game.(and that player) To conclude this point, Search results in more annoying tactics that don't give me a chance to help my team win.

The last reason I hate Search is because of the way the objective is setup. When on defense, you only have to find a good piece of cover, and camp the bomb sites. When attacking you must overcome campers, and plant the bomb, which makes a lot of noise and anyone with a headset can easily wait for the briefcase to be opened, then pop out of hiding and kill the planter. The last part I hate about the objective is that the bomb is visible to the defenders. This makes for a game of camping as soon as the defenders find and kill the bomb carrier.

All in all Search isn't my cup of tea, tell me in the comments below what you think of Search. Why do you play it? Why don't you play it? As always, if you want to see more great content subscribe on the right via E-mail, Google, or Yahoo.

Chrome vs. Firefox

I was a Chrome fan-boy, I wouldn't touch anything else. Until recently when my beloved Chrome browser had an issue with Flash. I couldn't visit any websites that ran Flash. I cried for days, weeks,(well, maybe I didn't cry) my favorite browser had the infamous shock-wave crash. I tried many solutions, but none of them worked.

Against what I usually believe in, I downloaded Firefox. After neglecting the fact that it might have any advantage over Chrome, I realized Chrome was not the king any longer. Firefox was great, with Adobe Flash 11, hundreds of add-ons, and great customization.

Today was the big step in the process, I transferred all of my bookmarks and saved pages onto Firefox. Finally I(gulp) uninstalled and deleted my wife old browser, Chrome.

I realized that Chrome wasn't the best browser for me anymore, I encourage you guys to try out another browser you have been neglecting. You just might like it better than your current browser. I know I did, also if you have problems with Chrome, ask me for help, I know everything about that damn shock-wave error.

MW3:Top 10 Favorite Maps in Modern Warfare 3

1.) Hardhat- This map has three main choke-points that are easy to hold down from either side. It also has short and long lines of sight. My favorite part of this map is that it doesn't have crap laying all over it. cough*interchange*cough

2.) Mission- This map is very close quarters but has some long range areas for all you QuICkSCopEz wannabe's.. This map is also very good for kill streaks as there is only one building that can be entered.

3.) Dome- This map is a favorite of many, and why not? It is small and very high action. I like the predictable spawns and all of different areas of the map.

4.) Bootleg- This map has many different areas you can fight in, and there generally isn't much flanking, making it great for any gun. Another aspect of this map that I like is the theme, I love the China-town decor going on in this map.

5.) Village- This map is great for air support, and it includes two main areas to fight in, both of which are balanced from either side. I also like how grenades can be thrown to any flag from the middle area.

6.) Outpost Seatown- This map is built like a Black Ops map, but I think that is why I enjoy it. There are two power positions in the middle of the map and I enjoy fighting over them constantly. I also love the spawns on this map, they are easy to predict.

7.) Arkaden- This map is super cool and provides for a great SMG experience. I have always been a fan of multi-level maps and this one isn't an exception, the "B" flag is perfectly positioned and is very difficult to take, making team-work a must.

8.) Carbon- This map is very cool, I like all of the cover in the middle of the map. I also love the cat-walks over the map, they provide easy pickings on all of the bad players.

9.)  Resistance- This map is fun to play with pretty much any gun. Point-streaks do pretty well here, especially reapers. One complaint about this map is all the cars, I usually sit in my spawn for the first two minutes of the game to avoid 3+ deaths from exploding cars.

10.) Underground- I love the flow of this map, it is easy to get where you want to go without going around tons of trains... oh wait. Other than the trains I enjoy the inside area, makes shotguns a viable weapon choice.




16.) Outpost- This map sucks.

iPad 3 Opinion

I'm plenty familiar with the iPad device and I really like the concept, but I already hate the iPad 3. You might ask, Why do you hate it, it isn't out yet? Well my answer to that is very simple, read on to find out why I hate Apples newest device.

Every year Apple announces new versions of their current products. Notice how Apple products have numbers after them, this signifies which generation they are, obviously. If one was to look at each generation of products, and use each of them, there would be very little difference, this is what I hate.

Apple releases new models of the same product every year whether they have something meaningful to add or not. Take a look at the iPhone 4S. Other than a new program it is the same device as the iPhone 4, oh and they added a letter to the name. This is my problem with the iPad 3. They could add many features and make the best device they could, but they won't. They will release the new features they already came up with one at a time over the course of several different, yet the same, models. They want everyone to continue to but the newest iPad, which is a good business idea right? wrong. If Apple wanted their customers to continue to come back for decades, they would give them the best device possible. They are giving you one device that is crap, and they improve that idea until they get to what the device is supposed to be. So in theory, when they announce the iPad 3, we are still a few years away from what the iPad should be.

A prime example of this is the iPod touch, It took Apple four generations to put a camera on it. The iPod touch is most likely still waiting for its full potential, as well as the iPad, and the iPhone.

My last point is somewhat nit-picking, but it is still relevant. When is Apple going to step up their game and allow for expandable memory. I realize that most people don't need this, but if I buy a 16 GB iPad, and find out I need more room. I have no choice but to shell out $600 for the same device, with just more memory.

What is Call of Duty?

Call of Duty has dominated the first person shooter industry for about five years now, but what is Call of Duty? Other than a multi-platform first person shooter, I think CoD is a game of goals. Personally, I set goals to reach in the game, such as reach tenth prestige, or maintain a 3 K/D. For me, I am currently going for all of the gold guns. I also am trying to obtain all of the titles and emblems. After I meet these two goals, I am going to go for a MOAB with every gun.

So what are your goals for CoD MW3? Leave them in the comments below. As always, if you liked this post, subscribe on the right via E-mail, Google, or Yahoo.

What I want from the Next Generation Consoles.

We getting to that time again, where the next generation of gaming consoles are revealed. It is very exciting to see the piece of hardware that we are going to be spending countless hours on over the next six years. Personally, I think these consoles will be the paragon of entertainment devices, making every other entertainment source obsolete. I hope to see the online experience grow to new heights, allowing players to play with each other across consoles, and also watch the best players in the world play live.

Another key feature for me would be allowing multiple games to be kept in the console. I hate switching from game to game and it would great if there were at least five disk slots in the console. To add to this, I would like to be able to have multiple games open at once. I like to play games in short periods, so if I could jump on Black Ops and play a match, then switch on to Modern Warfare 3 in less than five seconds, that would revolutionary.

Another top priority on my wish list is the ability to run an operating system if you want to. Such as Windows 7, if I could run Windows 7 on my console and eliminate the need for a desktop computer, I would be more likely to buy a console.

Lastly and perhaps most importantly, is game play. I want bigger games with more people interacting at the same time. It would be great if there were games that could support hundreds of people at the same time, on the same map, with the same objective.  Can you imagine 200 people going after one bomb site in a game of sabotage, or a game of Madden, where every player is user-controlled?

There you have it guys, my hopes and dreams for the next consoles. Share yours below, and remember to subscribe on the right via E-mail, Google, or Yahoo.

MW3: Breaking Down the Red Perks

Quickdraw: This perk is a great perk for rushers as it allows you to aim down sight faster, as well as throw you lethal and tactical equipment faster. I use this perk on assault rifles, snipers, and LMG’s. I find that Quickdraw it the best perk in the game for anyone who wants to play the objective and needs to win crucial gunfights. This perk is one of the many perks in this game that I find to be very balanced.

Blast Shield: This perk is awful; I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who wants to play well. It only prevents death from about half of the explosions your player encounters. The pro version is next to useless; it doesn’t allow you to be completely immune to flashes and stuns, just partially immune. To make this perk balanced it needs to be exactly like Flak Jacket and Tactical Mask Pro from Black Ops.

Hardline: This perk is overrated in my opinion, rarely do you benefit from assists counting as kills, and if you’re usually the type of person that falls short of your point streaks, you should probably set them lower, not equip a perk that makes you obtain them slightly faster. Although I find this perk to be overrated, it is balanced because if you added any more benefits to this perk, it would make Quickdraw less used. If there aren’t as many people using Quickdraw, there will be less rushing and more frustrating game play.

Assassin: This perk is the best perk in the game currently; it allows you to have the element of surprise in nearly every gunfight. This perk covers you from all forms of detection, excluding lethal point streaks. I believe that this perk is overpowered and needs to be taken down a notch, they should remove all immunities except for the UAV, Advanced UAV, and Portable Radar.

Overkill: Other than the awesome name, this perk doesn’t have much to offer. It allows you to carry two primary weapons, giving you the ability to adjust your play style without switching your class. In theory this perk is great, imagine having a Type 95 and a Striker. But this doesn’t work as well as you would think. Even though you have a weapon with an advantage for every situation, you don’t have the perks to compliment it. Such as the Type 95 example, for the Type 95 you would want Marksman and possible Quickdraw. For the Striker, optimally you could equip Sleight of Hand and Steady Aim. As you can see the perks don’t match up for very different weapons.

Overall the Red Perks determine your playstyle pretty well, and usually people will build their class around their red perk of choice without noticing it.

Why I love Game-battles

One of my favorite things to do in Call of Duty is play Game-battles. If you don't know what this is, it is competitive gaming over the internet. Sign up at the MLG website and you are ready to create a team and start playing. These matches are all private matches where specific equipment and attachments are banned. There also isn't any kill-streaks. This makes for an exciting gun on gun gaming experience. The idea of this is that everyone decides they will put their try-hard pants on and go at it for a few games. These games usually have very good players in them and are very closely matched.

I love to play Game-battles because it requires a lot of team work and when you win, you feel like you are actually a good player. This is very different from public matches, because when you win a public match you feel like you were expected to win.

What may be the best part of this is that when you return to public matches after playing Game-battles, it is very easy to destroy opposing teams, even if they have good players. I remember after a few Black Ops Game-battles matches I played a game on WMD and had a 59 Kill to death ratio.

Ultimately, Game-battles is a great way for good players to enjoy the game of MW3 even more than they already do. If you like this post subscribe on the right via E-mail, Google, or Yahoo.

The Better, Cheaper, more useful Astro MixAmp

A few days back I received a great new product form the company Creative. They make sound cards for computers that do THX surround sound decoding and a lot more. This product really shines elsewhere though, when used for console gaming, it serves as a surround sound decoder and a sound whoring mastermind. The best part about this product is that it allows for tons of connectivity options. 

 As you can see here, you can connect it to any sort of computer speakers or stereo via RCA, 3.5mm, or optical. It will plug into a game system with the USB to mini USB cable that is inlcuded.

 This is where your headphones will connect, as well as a 3.5mm microphone. The "Line in" that you see in the middle is where you can connect a mp3 player.

Overall this product is the best decoder on the market, and for $50, it is a steal compared to the $150 Astro Mix Amp. This product is available from Amazon.

MW3: Breaking Down the Perks, Blue Perks!

In this series I will go through the perks in MW3 and give my opinion on them and suggest changes that I think should happen to improve the game. Today I will will be taking a look at the blue perks.

Recon
Recon is a perk that is often overlooked, I have used it extensively and love this perk. I use it with shotguns and  Quickdraw, this allows me to stun people I can't see and throw a Semtex their way. Another great use is for a silenced SMG. With SMG's you can't win every gun-fight you are put into. So if the enemy is too far away, you can throw one bullet into them and run around while knowing exactly where they are, giving you a huge advantage in the firefight.

Sleight of Hand
This is a classic perk I use all the time, but the pro-version is not to be overlooked. If you combine Sleight of Hand Pro with the Overkill perk, you can quickly switch between them and dominate the competition. This perk is in my opinion the best blue perk, only because enemies spawn very close to you, and you need to always be ready to go.

Blind Eye
I never use this perk, it is not useful enough to make up for not having Sleight of Hand. They made this to nerf Ghost from Balck Ops, it is only really useful on an Anti-Air class.

Extreme Conditioning
Much like Blind Eye, I almost never use this perk. There is one exception though, and that is the P90. The P90 has a huge clip that doesn't need Sleight of Hand, and if you use extended magazines then you have plenty of ammo also.

Scavenger
I love this perk, but it needs a buff, when in the "Pro" version needs to replenish all grenades. Even though it needs work, I use this perk all the time, but not as a starting perk. I always have this perked equipped when I use specialist. This perk, like Sleight of Hand, is a staple in Call of Duty and will always be used.

I hoped you guys enjoyed this post, if you did and you want to see me break down all of the perks and guns, leave a comment saying so.

MW3: Guide to High Scoring Games

Game Types

When your going for a high scoring game in MW3, your first concern should be Game Types. The best game type for high scoring games is Ground War, or 6v6 Domination. This is because of the amount of time the game takes, usually between 9-12 minutes.

Play Style

I prefer a conservative rushing style game, which consists of flanking the enemy and pushing their spawn using cover. I suggest this because you will get plenty of traffic but still have an advantage in every gunfight. I also suggest that you use the different stances to your advantage. If you know the enemy won’t be prepared when they encounter you, go prone or use a unique line of sight. This brings me to my next point, whenever possible look under cars and trucks, or through bushes. When you do this it can almost guarantee you will win the firefight.

Point Streaks

Your best bet for kill streaks is to use ones that can be called in with each other. I suggest the following setup…

Attack Helicopter- This can be achieved somewhat easily and will get you a couple kills without blocking your next streaks. You can also protect yourself while this is up.

AH-6 Overwatch- This can be called in with you helicopter, it will protect you from dying while you can still protect yourself.

AC-130- This as your top Pointstreak will get you several kills and is the only where you can’t protect yourself while using it.

Class Setup

ACR-6.8 w/Silencer+Flinch- With this gun you will be able to shoot everything you see and get a lot of assists

Dual Skorpions- The most well rounded Machine Pistols, I think, they have good range and low recoil.

Frag- Or Grenade of choice, I just prefer frags.

Flash- Best tactical grenade in my opinion.

Scavenger-Need a lot of ammo for those high Pointstreaks.

Hardline- Great for assists and getting you helicopter a kill early.

Stalker- This perk is awesome for rounding corners and for strafing will fighting enemies.

The Apple Way

Apple is a huge electronics company that is taking over almost every industry in the business. They have phones, music players, tablets, computers, and digital music on lockdown. Some people may wonder how Apple is so successful. I’m going to let you in on a little secret, compatibility. Yes, that is the answer; all of apples products are compatible with each other. Have you ever noticed how people with Mac computers tend to have some of the iDevices also? This is because they all fit so well together, they all run apps, iTunes, and Safari. They get people used to this concept and people like it so much that they can’t go back to Windows.

Another reason Apple has been so successful is that they were a fresh start for most people. For years the only great operating system was Windows. That has changed, and everyone jumped on the Apple bandwagon.

The final reason that Apple is such a super-company is that they are all about multimedia. All of their devices can stream Netflix, YouTube, and almost any video source available. This makes them not only useful as computers, phones, and music players, but as a replacement for Cable Television. People no longer need cable because they get all of their entertainment from their computer or Ipad.

Sony Cycle Energy USB Portable Power Supply Review

The Sony Cycle Energy includes two AA batteries for a total capacity of 1120 mAh. You can charge these batteries by plugging the battery into the included AC adapter, when the batteries are charging there is an orange light, when it goes out, they are done. When charging a device the light will flash green, and turn off when the battery is depleted. This will charge most portable phones and music player to about 75% full, you can do this by plugging your USB charging cable into the port on the battery. The best use of this in my opinion is to charge PS3 controllers while still playing.

Everyone knows that situation when you’re playing a game on your PS3 and you controller is about to die, but you’re not ready to stop playing yet. That is where this is extremely useful. Just plug you’re charging cord into the battery and into the controller. It takes about thirty minutes to charge, and including the charging time, you can gain about another two hours of playing time before you need to plug your controller into you PS3 to fully charge.

My last use for this handy product is to charge your rechargeable AA batteries. You can put batteries in the battery holder and plug this into a wall and it will charge them. Though it does take about four hours to charge, making it very inefficient compared to other battery chargers.

I would recommend this product to anyone who has a PS3, and a few portable devices. I use this daily and don’t know what I would do without it. This is available for about $20 on Amazon. As always, if you liked this post, and want to see more, subscribe via E-mail, Google, or Yahoo on the right.

A Great New YouTube Personality

Hey Guys! If you’re looking for great fresh new content on YouTube check out KillaTank54. His name is Spencer and he puts out several videos per week that are really interesting and informative. Another thing he does very well is that his game plays are not only high scoring, but interesting. He is running around and doesn’t ever sit in a Pointstreak reward for the entire match.

The last thing that I would like to touch on about Spencer is that he isn’t in it for the money. When watching one of his videos I always can feel his true passion come through.

If you want to be a part of the next huge YouTube channel, then check out Spencer here.

MW3: Updated Infected Classes

Infinity Ward made changes to Infected to attempt to favor the survivors more. If you don't know how infected works click here and disregard the classes on that post. The games are now ten minutes long instead of five. There are no longer Dome only modes, and there aren't any more Juggernauts. The updated classes are playable on any map.

So as you can see it is more fair to the survivors now. One thing to note is that you can still level up guns, earn Pro-Perks, and obtain MOAB's through a 25 Point-Streak. Also the infected are the same for every map and combination, the only thing that changes is the survivor's load-out.

I like this setup much better, the Infected still seem to win all the time, but the survivors get a lot more kills and you don't feel like you got screwed when you are throwing knifed from a mile away.I would rank them like this from easiest to win with, to hardest to win with...

MW3:New Infected Game Mode

On February 5th Infinity Ward released a new game called Infected. Infected is available in the community playlist, and replaced Drop Zone, a widely popular game type. Infected an 18 person game mode starts with everyone as a survivor and after an 8 second timer one person is converted to the "Infected" team. This person needs to kill the survivors, every time a survivor is killed he is converted to the infected team. This happens until all of the survivors are dead or after the 5 minute countdown is depleted. If there are survivors alive, then the survivors win, but if everyone is infected, the infected team wins, except for the last survivor gets a loss. The classes are set for each mode consisting of two different options.

Fiio E6 Headphone Amplifier Review

This is the Fiio E6 Headphone Amplifier, it is rated to power 32-300 ohms, but I have noticed that it can power headphones of over 300 ohms without much trouble. It has a 3.5mm source input and a 3.5mm headphone output. It has a rocker for volume, and a switch for powering on and off. It also includes two plastic clips for slipping it on to your belt, which are made of clear plastic and look stylish. It is finished in Piano Black, so it is a finger print magnet.

This is one cable that is include for a source, it is of high quality. It is a 3.5mm to 3.5mm, and has gold plated connectors. This cable is about a meter long. 

 This is the second included cable, it has "L" connectors that are also gold plated, this cable is roughly ten centimeters long.

 As you can see right here, this is very small, and will easily fit in your pocket and be smaller than your audio source.

I enjoy using this with my Ipod Touch, Laptop, and even my phone sometimes. This doesn't improve sound quality at all to my knowledge, but allows me to get the most out of my portable devices. The battery lasts about 20 hours, depending on the volume.

Overall this is a product that I would recommend to anyone who has high end headphones and wants to rock out even when on the go. This goes for about $30 on Amazon.

Turtle Beach P11 Review

These are the Turtle Beach P11 Gaming Headphones. These are the lowest end headphones that Turtle Beach makes, and that is very apparent to a user. These headphones as you can see below are a bit taller than a PS3 controller when fully compressed. When the headband is adjusted though, they become much larger and are able to fit almost any head. The mic is long and very adjustable. The comfort on these isn't very good, the ear-cups feel too small and they headphones don't put any pressure on your head, causing the ear cups to feel like they are resting on you ears. The material on the ear pads feels like cheap carpet.

 These headphones aren't all bad though, this little box you see below is great. It controls microphone on, off, and mute. There are also dials to control chat volume, and game volume. I love these dials, they make the headphones so mush more versatile. You can plug the 3.5mm jack into a source of your choice, and the USB cord into your PlayStation, and you will be able to control the 3.5mm source with the game volume dial, and the PS3 chat with the chat dial. Essentially you can listen to music and talk to your friends on PSN at the same time, which is awesome.

 Below you see the two primary cords for hookup, the USB goes into your PlayStation, while the 3.5mm jack goes into whatever you want to listen too.

 If you want to use volume from the game your playing, like most people, you will use this cord. Plug the two   RCA's into their respective RCA's from your PlayStation. From there you will plug your 3.5mm jacks into each other and your good to go.

The sound is nothing great, but is good for playing games and chatting with friends. You will find it lacks bass and the middle notes will be very recessed, but that makes this good for hearing footsteps and gunfire, which it does well.

Overall, this product has a lot of features and uses, so it is good set of headphones if you don't have the money for anything better. They can be found on Amazon for about $50 and include free shipping.

Why Wikipedia is 99% True

I am a student, and I constantly hear about how Wikipedia has a lot of false information due to the fact that anyone can edit it. I think this is a really bad reason to question Wikipedia's legitimacy mostly because no one would post hours worth of fake work on the internet, and if people spent very little time on their work then it is obvious it isn't true due to the fact that it will be very short and not well thought out and organized. Usually this type of work is not helpful anyway.. Another strong reason why people question Wikipedia's legitimacy is because they make money from their site by advertisements. Meaning the more viewers they have, the more money they make. This is the worst reason there is, this is because if a site wants to make money they will keep putting up correct and in-depth information to ensure that viewers continue to visit and in turn they continue to make money.

In summary, you can't be fooled by Wikipedia because anyone who takes the time to put extensive research on their website would not be trolling, and if people found out Wikipedia's information was fake they wouldn't come back, meaning Wikipedia would stop making money, and the guys over there are too smart to corrupt a profitable site like Wikipedia.

LG LED IPS236

LG is a great company for electronics, and they make a wide range of products from washing machines, to cell phones, to TV's. The LG Flatron IPS236 is what I am going to be taking a look at today, though.

I use this monitor, it is obviously made by LG. It displays 1080p resolution and is 23 inches diagonally. It has VGA, DVI, HDMI, and a 3.5mm audio jack on the rear. I use this as my primary gaming monitor but I also use it for TV and hook my laptop up too it occasionally.

As you can see the front interface is touch buttons, which are piano black along with the rest of the screens border. They are somewhat hard to get used to, but work like a charm as soon as you have the process mastered.

The picture is great, the colors are vibrant and it keeps up with games like Call of Duty flawlessly.

Overall I would recommend this too anyone who is tight on space and money, but still needs a great picture and lots of connection options. It can be found on Amazon for about 210 plus shipping.

Assassin

Ahhhhhh, everyone's favorite perk, Assassin. I personally am not a fan of this perk, although when I use it I can almost guarantee a Pavelow or AC130. Something about having so many abilities just seems so dumb. Notice I say it is dumb, not overpowered, it isn't overpowered because everyone can use it and it doesn't make them hardder or easier to kill one on one, but harder to locate and anticipate. It is clearly the best perk in the red tier and it needs to be toned down. Now I think the only abilities it should have are UAV, AUAV and Portable Radar immunity. This is because if there isn't a possibility of people not showing up on these devices, then it will be a pre-firing haven for the community. Also, Blind-eye needs to be moved to the same tier for something like overkill, this way you have to make a choice to be immune to killstreaks, or to the UAV, AUAV, and Portable Radar. If this happened, assassin would still be very common, but they would be showing up on predator missiles, Helicopters, Recon drones and more.

So that is my opinion on Assassin, share in the comments below what yours is.
