Battlefield… What’s Next?

Posted on May 4, 2009 by JMarsden| 1 Comment

For those of you that are into FPS (First Player Shooters), then I can imagine that you have played Battlefield at least once. Most of you probably still play Battlefield.

I began playing Battlefield on the Playstation 2.

The title is Battlefield: Modern Combat.

For todays gamer the graphics in this game were not as good as they are now, and being that most of the Playstation 3 units that are still out aren’t backwards compatible, the game has more than likely lost interest.

The newest title is Battlefield: Bad Company.

In Battlefield: Bad Company you are part of a squad of soldiers that have gotten a bit sidelined in their duties. Why you ask. They have found out that there is gold, and they want it.

This is a trailer for Battlefield: Bad Company

The internet play is great in comparison to Modern Combat. There are still issues that never got worked out. I can imagine that this is because the newest Battlefield is due out around December 2009. The new title is Battlefield: Bad Company 2. The only trailer available to date can be found below.

While Battlefield is a great PS2 / PS3 / XBox game there is also another side to the series of games. There is also a PC series that is also great to play.

The Battlefield 2 series for the PC was the only one I actually played. There were many things to do, and a lot of action. In the PC version there was a Commander feature that really made the game stand out.

EA / Dice has taken at least one of the levels from the Battlefield 2 game, and made them part of a new game that will be available from the Playstation store in June 2009 for $14.99. Below you will find a trailer for that game.

1st Night Back At the Anchor Motel

Posted on May 3, 2009 by JMarsden| 1 Comment

Last night I was called in for security work. It was a bit early in the season, as most kids don’t come down until around Memorial Day. Usually my nights at the Anchor Motel are rather dull in comparison to working other hotels that I work. This definitelly wouldn’t be like a Disney hotel.

I would have said that it couldn’t be any worse than when Cranford is at a hotel, but I would be wrong on this occassion. At 2:30am when I left the kids were still up, and trying to party.

When they finally have their first real life experience with being an adult I think that they will all fail horribly.

Lyndhurst High was in the house. If I had my way they would have been out of the house. Some of the things that I saw last night were pure childish, and some were pure stupidity.

Parents really must not give 2 drops about what their children do, or how they act.

One girl beat the heck out of one boy because he had done “something” to her friend. She must have gone back to try to confront the kid 3-4 times because I had to keep telling her to let it go, and figure it out in the morning. When I asked the girl that this apparently happened to what happened she responded “nothing at all.”" My last solution was that if they kept saying that “something” had happened then we would all take a walk to the police HQ, and let them sort out the problem. Basically this girl needs a reality check, and she needs to tone down her style. Boys will never go out with a bully.

Another kid got so drunk while he was out with his friends that he threw up from the second story balcony. Later after I escorted him to his room I found him outside throwing up again. I talked to his roomies, and they all had the same issue. He had been throwing up in the room, and wouldn’t go to pray to the porcelin god.

The funniest thing that went on was a girl screaming, and yelling, and threatening to kick everyones butt because her “flip-flops” were taken.

How petty can people get?

Another girl walked around all night with her jeans unbuttoned, and her undergarments showing. While I am sure the boys loved this I found it to be very unladylike. Leopard print isn’t in this season young lady.

I think the most common thing I saw was a girl getting pissed off because her boyfriend had done something with the girls lifelong friend. She asked me if that was cheating, and I couldn’t even answer the question because the boy obviously didn’t think it was.

I am ever so thankful that I shouldn’t be working again until Memorial Day Weekend. I honestly think that this year will be my last year doing this. The children are children, and some of the adults I see are children also.
