My favorite part of this text conversation? That the intro could lead to so many false conclusions.

Pokemonern Warfare by Blasted Roof (@) explores what happens when the Pokemon and Call of Duty universes collide. Hint: It becomes more profane. Also, Booster hunting ensues.

Disappointed my poke-self wasn’t called into action! I’ve got some sweet Stealth Clown special moves for increased evasiveness.

See! Facebook Places DOES have a purpose.

Such as passively letting someone know you’ve been hiding extra McNuggets and Tacos from lunch around their office for the past 2 months.

A Ghost mask knitted by @Cypher125. I totally need this for Winter when I go home for the holidays. 

Star Wars Mod: The Galactic Warfare (a community created total conversion for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare) has just been released in it’s newest beta phase and IT IS AWESOME! The beta contains new maps, weapons, and looks oh so beautiful. 

Check out the amazing community modders, mappers, and scripters behind this masterpiece on Twitter (@blackMonkeysDE) or download it for yourself on their official site (http://www.blackmonkeys.de/ in German).

This is the greatest mash-up of awesome since they began wrapping hot dogs in bacon!

Modern Warfare 2 Playlist Updates

We’re updating the playlists to Modern Warfare 2 for Xbox 360 & PS3. The update will bring the triumphant return of a dedicated Capture the Flag playlist, in addition to the new Hardcore Moshpit playlist.

Hardcore Moshpit allows you to play Hardcore Domination (YESSSS!), Hardcore Demolition, Hardcore Capture the Flag, and Hardcore Sabotage for the first time in a public playlist; as well as the Hardcore TDM, Hardcore HQ Pro, and Hardcore S&D staples that HC fans already know and love.

These two additions will take the place of the Resurgence playlists, since they are now integrated into all modes.

Note that this playlist update is currently only on Xbox 360 and PS3 but will be made for Steam users in a week or so (due to the Resurgence Package and corresponding playlists having only recently been added to PC).

Players should be seeing the playlist update hit their boxes in the next hour or so (depending on location, as it takes time to prop to everyone). Jump online, and enjoy!

Darth Vader - knowing full well all costumed heroes would be pre-occupied patting each other on the back in San Diego’s Comic-Con - stormed a Long Island branch CHASE bank while brandishing a primitive weapon known as a pistol and demanding cash. The Sith Lord made his escape and is currently wanted by the Alliance (of the Long Island Police Department).

Apparently this follows a series of “odd” robberies in the area as investigators are still searching for a woman that recently robbed retail stores while wearing a cat mask. Um….. can someone PLEASE lend the Long Island PD a Bat-Signal.

The above video was posted online, and an onslaught of questions as a result was sent in to me.

To be clear: There is not, and will never be, additional fees required to subscribe and play Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer.

The video above seems to show a user on what appears to be the Xbox Live Gold Membership renewal page via the Marketplace in the guide, but while in-game in Modern Warfare 2 (which is in error). It does not however, prove a pay-to-play subscription model is in the works for Modern Warfare 2, because no such plan exists for this or any other Call of Duty (including the upcoming Black Ops).

That said, feel free to cease freaking out.
