The BF2 Mod called BF Pirates has been released and I got a chance to give it a run. I only had about 45 minutes to check it out but I must say that I was impressed!

For those of you that have played the first Battlefield Pirates mod for BF1942, you can appreciate the changes and updates. Since this new mod runs on the Battlefield 2 engine, there are some really awesome features and animations.

" Battlefield Pirates 2 is a full conversion mod for Battlefield 2. The game pits 2 two rivaling crews, the Undead and the Peglegs, in a vicious battle for control of the Caribbean and all its booty. Brace yourself for a fun-filled adventure on the high seas! "

Here are a list of pros and cons that you can consider my BFPirates 2 review:

Pros
Perfect alternative to BF2 vanilla – Want a break from the same old game? Grab this satisfying modification.

Easy to get involved – I found myself lost in the game early and was hard to quit.

Tons of eye candy – Bony skeletons, weapon reloading animations, boat rowing animations and realistic fires are just a fraction of cool sights to gaze upon.

Its fun! – I found myself actually having fun other than trying to get the high score. :)

Weapons – This really isn’t a run and gun type of mod. You fire, and then have to reload…I enjoyed the realism. Also, the grappling hook was a nice addition.

Lots of ear candy – The soundtrack, voices and sound effects really makes you fell like a pirate.

Attractive maps – The night maps are the best because of the creepy feel that you get from it…but there is something about being on a small island and seeing a huge castle-like building off in the endless waters.

Cons
Lack of Servers – This may have changed when I first played it, but I only found one populated server online!

Laggy – On some maps, I found it to be very laggy. This issue may be from my PC or the heavily populated server located on the other side of the world.

Voices – Although the voices are awesome, I really wish there was a way to make some of the voices sound distant other than seem like someone is right by you all the time.

Team killing – I don’t know…for some reason when I dropped on of the barrels, I blew away half of my team…I wish there was some way of them knowing that it was more obvious.

As you can see, there are not a lot of legit complaints from me and I will be back on to play some more. If you are tired of the same ol’ BF2, grab your free copy of Battlefield Pirates 2 and get on board!

I decided to not go with the Alien Abduction theme this year. Although I had the space ship almost built and was in the middle of constructing the martians…I decided to go another route.

Here are the reasons why I changed my mind:
1 – My daughter gets nervous every time she looks at a martian.
2 – Very time consuming
3 – Could get costly
4 – Found something cooler!

The new theme is going to be based on the color orange and a ton of plastic pumpkins that I have collected. There will be one great pumpkin that is now standing at about 10 feet tall in my backyard. I have a bunch of orange lights and we will wear our pumpkin shirts to hand out candy this year.

The tests have been done by my daughter and she stamped her approval on the pumpkin theme.

Stay tuned for pics!

Well, I finally made up my mind on what Halloween yard theme that I am going with this year. Since the baby is already scared of most masks, I didn’t want to freak her out with blood, guts and the scary things that I normally put out each year…so I think that the alien theme will be a little more kid friendly.

Following my handy dandy guide, I am going to size things down and make about 8 little green men in red cloaks. Last night, I found some dollar Frankenstein masks at Walmart that will work perfectly for their heads. I have already started working on the big buggy eyes and pushing the noses in to give them that green Martian look. The UFO will probably be the most tedious work but I have 2 umbrellas that will work perfectly with this.

Below is a rough sketch of what I had in mind. Along with some lights, fog machine, extra props and some spacey Halloween music…this may turn out to be pretty cool.

After a few days of trying to make up my mind, I spotted something on YouTube that helped me make a decision. Unfortunately I do not have 50 thousand dollars to buy the prop, but I can use the idea and inspiration. :)

I found this awsome website the lets you stream into artists of all kinds!!

This isn’t just a ordianary radio stream! This one lets you search through many artists and home made radio stations. This player is completely made with flash and has rich graphics. I give this a 9.5/10 the down is that the program glitchs while it is playing the first song… so people, don’t flame the company… www.finetune.com
