Modern Warfare 2 thoughts persist.

I'm beginning to realize how much I loved the missions in Modern Warfare 2. Weeks after finishing the game, I'm still thinking about them. I don't love the fact that they happened or exactly the motivations for the events occurring, but I loved taking place in defending the US. The gameplay was your average FPS of go here and shoot this, but the context of where I was, why I was there, what/who I was shooting was what made it great.

More Modern Warfare 2 posts/thoughts to come. May be read and/our posted out of order.

Crickets

They are chirping.

Pickup results, Oct 6

Pretty good night at pickup. No goals or assists, but much better play all around. Had James beat on a breakaway, but shot the puck wide on the backhand; I shall own him next week. Last week was bad, this week was ok/good, so next week is hopefully good.

Pickup results, Sept 29

1 goal, 1 assist.

Played less garbage in general than last week. Was responsible for losing 3 goals. Fucked up an open net from within the crease(1), which they took and scored which makes(2). Then practically passed to other team in my own zone, then they scored which makes(3). Got 1 lucky goal, and an assist. So I'll say I cost the team only 2 goals which is still bad. Goal is to play fuckup-free hockey.

Played like total garbage.

This song fucking sucks.

Pickup results, 9/15

2 goals, 0 assists.

Generally mediocre play all around. Picked up a rebound for one goal and threw the puck into a clusterfuck around the net for another. Slapshot is noticeably better, which I'm happy about, but I've yet to have the chance to use it during a game. Need to work on blindly throwing the puck to center, had a couple turnovers because of doing so; Though, there was at least two times where they weren't looking for the pass and it went flying out of the zone or all the way across the ice. Had a chance or two for breakaways, but I suck at breaking the blueline and getting through defenders. Need to work on energy, defensive play and breaking through the blueline.
