Duty Calls: The Calm before the Storm

Hey Everyone

Thanks JQ for putting up those awesome posts on the Men-o-Art, aka his Men-at-Arms that look really good on camera but have lousy weapon skills. Unfortunately I left most of my WFB stuff at home, and I will be taking pics of my other action figures really soon (eg. Star Wars, Transformers, Marvel).

Here's a piece of really interesting gaming news. Bulletstorm is a FPS by Epic Games and People Can Fly, which also happen to be under EA...the very arch-nemesis of Activision and subject of a lawsuit for enticing Infinity Ward members away and arranging for their departures. When I first saw Bulletstorm, I thought it was a contender to Duke Nukem due to the over-the-top action sequences and "tough guy" attitude that exude from one of the characters.

So instead of making a demo for the game, the creators decided to make a mini-game with tongue-in-cheek references to the wildly popular Modern Warfare franchise. It's free to download, and it gives you about a few minutes of play. But if you're not planning on playing it, here's a video by Jacob VanDerWerf of (firingsquad.com) had recorded while playing the game:



Reactions anyone?
