I guess my previous whining didn’t help much, I am more annoyed than ever. I now always end up on the losing team, always stuck with a bunch of noobs that do not seem to have an idea of how to play this game properly. All they do is rush out and get shot from all directions. Why do I deserve this? My winning ration was 1.35 yesterday and now I am struggling with a 1.31 because I have lost basically every game today, be it a real lost with noobs on my team or one of those annoying disconnects.

But what annoys me the most is the fact that I am always the only one with a decent score, well most of the time. The rest of my team would just contribute points to the other team by dying. It really felt like its me against the other 13 players instead of 6 on 6. If my team was able to contribute a bit more towards winning I would have no problem losing, at least we tried and the game was fair. In my case it was just pure slaughter by the opposing team.

Maybe I should just take a break and stop playing Modern Warfare 2 for a while. Let myself cool down a bit. Then again, what difference does that make? I will still be the only one, most of the time, with a positive kill / death ratio. What’s the point?

I have never been so upset in my life over a game, never happened with the original Modern Warfare.

This is getting ridiculous and I’m getting fed up with this whole scoring system. I’m not sure if its just me or this happens to basically everyone that plays on PSN. The connection is pretty bad half the time, I constantly get disconnected from games and games that always need to find new hosts. All that I can ignore but I don’t like the fact that it counts as a lost.

I can understand if the player leaves the game by actually selecting the option in the menu, that is considered a lost. But why on earth would you treat that the same when the game ends prematurely? I’m sure the developers should be able to code the game in such a way that it can differentiate between a user leaving the game by choosing the option and a game that just died due to bad connections.

I don’t want to sound like a stats whore but I find it uber unfair that my score is messed up because of this stupid system. And also the fact that I seem to attract noobs to fight along side with me makes the situation (my score) even worse.

Ok I’m done venting….

Proporta likes to keep on top of the popular devices out there, and the most recent BlackBerry’s are no exception. RIM has rebooted its touch screen range with the Storm 2 9520, featuring re-tooled clickable touch screen technology. RIM also updated their flagship model with a sleeker and more powerful model – the Bold 2 9700.

Proporta has produced their trademark case – the Aluminium Lined Leather, for both these devices which are lovingly handmade to provide a perfect, custom fit with maximum protection for your BlackBerry Storm 2 and BlackBerry Bold 2. Lined with aircraft grade aluminium, these covers offer the ultimate in tough screen protection to save your device from crushing and impact shocks.

The Mizu Shell is also available for the BlackBerry Storm 2. This super tough case fits the Storm 2 like a glove, and offers robust protection against scratching, impact damage and knocks.  Available in red, charcoal and blue, it’s as stylish as it is strong, and gives you the chance to look after your Storm 2 whilst complimenting, rather than hiding, its beautiful looks. Available as pre-interest for the BlackBerry Bold 2 so register your interest if you wish.

Additionally for your precious device screen, you shouldn’t be without Proporta’s Advanced Screen Protector, available for the BlackBerry Storm 2 and the BlackBerry Bold 2. They’ve managed to increase the thickness without impairing screen brightness or clarity. Clever eh?

P.S. Have you come across the Proporta Puzzle yet? Downloadable to many mobile phones. It’ll keep you trying for hours.

While browsing the online flyers of Futureshop and Best Buy. Nothing surprising in the Futureshop one, but I accidentally found out about the fact that StarCraft 2, our long awaited strategy game will be released on May 31st of this year. Well, at least based on the Best Buy listing . Maybe the date was released somewhere before but I’ve just checked Gametrailers and it said Q4 of 2010. I think May will be Q2 of 2010, so let’s see which one is more accurate. Obviously we all want May as oppose to near the end of the year.

Its been eternity since the original StarCraft came out, that was when I was in grade 10 I think. The time when we were still using 56k modems and got dropped out of mutiplayer games. Ahhh good times.
