I have never seen this video before and to be honest, I don’t even know how I came across it. Its an old-school Anti Smoking Public Service Announcement that features R2-D2 smoking a cigarette and CP30 ain’t having it. C-3PO enters a control room and finds R2-D2 smoking a
cigarette.
C-3PO tells R2-D2 how bad smoking
is, and that its not a good idea to be doing it while kids are watching. R2-D2 throws out the cig and agrees that smoking does suck.

The PSA aired somewhere around 1983 or 1984

I wished that I would have seen this commercial when I was a kid…maybe I would have been inspired!

Ever been taken out and wondered how those other guys get to those secret spots and rooftops? Check out this video that I found on YouTube. It shows all the sweet spots that you can get to in Call Of Duty 4 for the Xbox 360.

If you would like to practice, create a private match so that you can get around on the maps without anyone messing with you.

Remember, if you are not going through walls or anything…its not glitching.

Unique Cartoon Shooter Introduces a New Way to Play Battlefield

Munich, Germany, January 21, 2008 ? At the Digital, Life, Design Conference (DLD) in Munich, Electronic Arts Inc., (NASDAQ: ERTS) today unveiled Battlefield Heroes?, an all-new Play 4 Free cartoon-style shooter that will bring classic Battlefield gameplay to an all new mass audience. Available for download at www.battlefield-heroes.com this summer, Battlefield Heroes is EA’s first title that is offered completely for free, and features a built-in matchmaking system to ensure that players of equal skill are paired together for fair play. Developed by DICE in Stockholm, Battlefield Heroes is leading EA’s new web-focused free to download, free to play business model which generates revenue through advertising and micro-transactions. With zero barriers to entry, now anyone can be a hero on the battlefield!

?Online gaming garners a massive audience,? said Gerhard Florin, EVP Publishing Americas-Europe at EA. ?People want to play games in new ways, with easier access that is quick to the fun. With Battlefield Heroes, EA brings its first major franchise to North America and Europe with a new distribution model and pricing structure adapted to the evolving way that people play.?

Battlefield Heroes is a brand new game from the team behind Battlefield 1942? and Battlefield 2?. It’s fun cartoon-style graphics and gameplay caters to players of all skill levels.

Thank god its not BF3, but it looks like its gonna be cool. Here is proof that it will not be BF3.

What?s Battlefield Heroes?
Battlefield Heroes is a new cartoon-style Battlefield game that?s completely free to play. This ?Play 4 Free? type of game is new to EA so we?re excited to be leading the charge! It?s going to be available this summer and we?ve worked hard to make the game appeal to both our core fans as well as people new to Battlefield. It?s easy for anyone to pick up and play because of the intuitive controls, fun cartoon art style, and community features, but at the same time there?s real depth and strategy for people like us who are passionate about gaming.

Is this BF3?
No, Battlefield Heroes is not Battlefield 3. Battlefield Heroes is one of many Battlefield games in development by DICE, including Battlefield Bad Company for PS3 and Xbox 360. We have not made any announcements regarding Battlefield 3.

How?s this different than any other game out there?
It?s mainly different because it?s FREE! But this is also a new take on Battlefield games. Battlefield Heroes combines the classic sandbox gameplay of the Battlefield series, but we are also adding loads of new stuff – a fun, over-the-top setting and art style, simpler controls and interface, and a deep character development and customization system. Because it is download for free and ?Play 4 Free?, it really changes how we approach game development ? we can add new content to the game at any time, we can respond to the community?s feedback with tweaks and changes and we can make the game YOU want to play.

Finally I have found some stuff on the net about the Cloverfield Monsters from the Cloverfield movie. If you are not into spoilers, don’t read this because it pretty much explains what the monsters are all about.

The Cloverfield Monsters looks like they are coming from the sea. A mix between a whale and a crab. The movie still looks pretty good but I knew it would be kind of cheesy. They may have been too much hype built up from the teasers and trailers though.

Ok, here it goes.

?They?re these horrifying, dog-sized creatures that just
scatter around the city and add to the nightmare of the evening,?
Abrams says.

?The parasites have a voracious, rabid, bounding nature, but they
also have a crab-like crawl,? Reeves explains. ?They have the
viciousness of a dog, but with the ability to climb walls and stick to
things.?

In addition, the parasites also move more rapidly than their giant
host counterpart. ?Tippett Studio has a lot of expertise with these
kinds of fast-moving creatures that can destroy people and rip them to
shreds, which is always a lot of fun to work on,? says Leven. ?They?re
like little whirling dervishes that just destroy anything in their
path. They?re totally deadly.?

The following images are not confirmed but they all have a similarity to them.

This morning I got on the scale and my wife read to me that I was at 200 lbs! About a month ago I was around 212 or maybe even a little fatter but I seem to have shed a little…what a good feeling!

What’s my secret to my godly like, incredibly fit and chiseled body? I know that it has a lot to do with my recently changed eating habits.

I just don’t eat the crap that I used to and its starting to pay off. I sit on my ass all day at work making websites so I know for sure that exercise has nothing to do with my weight loss. My wife quit buying the snack cakes and other fattening foods so either I eat something healthy or not eat at all.

If I don’t have that crap food in front of my face, I won’t eat it. We have also cut way back on eating fast food. It used to be at least once or twice a week we would get something from FatDonalds or another local grease bin. Since that has stopped, its kind of nice not to have the upset stomach and sickly feeling after eating that stuff.

With the warmer weather coming up, I know for sure that I will be outside doing yard work and becoming more active. If I continue with my good eating habits and then throw in some exercise, it may be a good thing.

A major disappointment yesterday as the Colts bus overheated on the road to the Super Bowl. With an agonizing score of Chargers 28 – Colts 24, it was close and intense the whole game. The Colts just could pull through though.

It seemed that the Chargers defense was pumped and pressured Manning way too much for him to even think straight. Usually Manning seems relaxed. He falls back, looks around and throws the ball perfectly…not yesterday though. Looking closely, Manning was jittery and bouncing all around.

Don’t throw it to Harrison either! I was hoping to see something out of ol’ Marv…but he fumbled on the first catch. I am pretty sure that’s the only attention that he got during the game. Manning should have said to his recievers…"Look, if you are not gonna catch the ball, I’m not gonna throw it to you!"

Rivers was forced out of the game because his makeup was running so I was sure that the Colts would gain the upperhand with the 2nd string noobie QB coming in. Nope, it didn’t change a thing.

So anyway, that’s it. The Colts are knocked out of the playoffs and there is really no other reason to watch Football Americano anymore. Nah, I will still watch some more…but who to cheer for? I think that I will just cheer on whichever team is facing the asshole Patriots.

Last night we got a pretty nasty storm here in Indiana…yeah, in the middle of January. There was around 4-5 inches of rain that fell and a handful of tornado watches and warnings. Yeah, I know…in the middle of January! Everytime that dang Emergency Alert System came on my stomach dropped to the floor.

I have seen the area where I live flooded before, but some are saying that is the worst in years. Nearby are two lakes, Lake Freeman and Lake Shafer, that are gushing out water from supporting dams at about 24,000 cubic feet per second and there was some scare that the dams wouldn’t be able to handle it. Locals around the area started to evacuate and take up shelter in hotels and Twin Lakes High School was rumored to house some people.

So far so good. There’s talk about more rain coming with accompanied by some thunder tonight but I don’t think that it will be enough to create any impact like the downpour we had last night. The bad thing that I see about this next movement is that it will be followed by a nasty cold front. It looks like this mess could turn into snow and possibly freeze the huge puddles.

On my lunch break, I manage to snap a few photos of the flood waters and you can view them here: http://www.webturd.com/flood/ until I move them into the PhotoBrow gallery. I wanted to get some shots of one of the dams but it was a little dangerous to get to it right now.

I am not ready for all this severe weather yet…its too early. I could go for one more snow dumping before the warmer season hits.
