I am not one of these boycotting fools. I will admit that I will play Modern Warfare 2 at some point. I may even purchase it for PC some day when it comes down to a real price. But at this ponit, I do not want to give Infinity Ward, Activision or any other connected entity, money for this title. I have it in the rental queue and that is good enough for me right now. </p> http://www.aeropause.com/forums/topic/339#post-1772 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 04:44:35 +0000 TheTony 1772@http://www.aeropause.com/forums/ <p>Anyone else pay 500 points for the Wii's Internet Channel...and, get a free NES game from Nintendo to make up for it now that the channel's available at no charge?</p> <p>If so, what game did you select to cash in your One Free Title?

Here's a link to Lono's write up on Sarcastic Gamer: <a href="http://sarcasticgamer.com/wp/index.php/2009/10/infinity-ward-condones-anti-gay-slur-in-youtube-video.html" rel="nofollow">http://sarcasticgamer.com/wp/index.php/2009/10/infinity-ward-condones-anti-gay-slur-in-youtube-video.html</a></p> <p>You know what I think is stupid? The fact that they are harping on Infinity Ward, when <em>they</em> are the ones who point out the acronym, bugs the shit out of me. Furthermore, they said that that Infinity Ward "condones" the use of homosexual slurs, which is just fucking ridiculous. Watch the video. Do they ever abbreviate the title to show the acronym? No. Do they ever try to bring special attention to it? No. So, stop trying to put Infinity Ward in such a negative light over a coincidence.</p> <p>If you're going to complain about something in the video, complain about the pot leaf that the player is using as his emblem. /Rant </p> http://www.aeropause.com/forums/topic/336#post-1749 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 18:53:20 +0000 Shane 1749@http://www.aeropause.com/forums/ <p>It took me 11 hours on "easy" lol. Yeah I know lame. Decent game but I found it to just draaaag on near the end - "oh we found the secret passage with the special stone, get that switch!", "oh no more bad guys!" etc. </p> <p>I think I bought the 1 shot kill upgrade after it was done so I'll play it again on a harder setting next time round :) </p> http://www.aeropause.com/forums/topic/29#post-35 Fri, 11 Jul 2008 16:32:18 +0000 Joe 35@http://www.aeropause.com/forums/ <p>If you have any questions for the Aeropodcast, go ahead and post them here.

Very cool deal if you are in the market to upgrade, and a way to promote the DX10 effects that are in the game.</p> <p><a href="http://www.nzone.com/object/nzone_batmanaa_bundle.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.nzone.com/object/nzone_batmanaa_bundle.html</a> </p> http://www.aeropause.com/forums/topic/132#post-259 Sun, 07 Sep 2008 20:57:04 +0000 pacis 259@http://www.aeropause.com/forums/ <p>I was just wondering what everyone's info was.</p> <p>Gamertag: Pacis Riot.<br /> Playstation ID: Whiteeerabbit.<br /> STeam ID: Paxrabbit.<br /> Friend code: I have no idea where to find mine. </p> http://www.aeropause.com/forums/topic/335#post-1740 Sat, 17 Oct 2009 22:49:17 +0000 Jrittmayer 1740@http://www.aeropause.com/forums/ <p>According to last.fm similar artists for Aeropause podcast is virginworldz?<br /> lolz</p> <p>[img]<a href="http://s936.photobucket.com/albums/ad201/Jrittmayer/?action=view&#38;current=Untitled.jpg"><img src="http://i936.photobucket.com/albums/ad201/Jrittmayer/Untitled.jpg" alt="aeropause" /></a>/img] </p> http://www.aeropause.com/forums/topic/330#post-1680 Thu, 10 Sep 2009 19:07:44 +0000 Joe 1680@http://www.aeropause.com/forums/ <p>Hello forum readers.

Lately, I started to realize how many XBLA games I own, and how little I play all of them. I adore the games when I first purchase them, but as I move down the road by a few weeks, those titles are all but forgotten. How about anyone else here? What are your experiences with these titles, and how long do you normally play them. </p> http://www.aeropause.com/forums/topic/331#post-1708 Thu, 24 Sep 2009 16:47:20 +0000 Shane 1708@http://www.aeropause.com/forums/ <p>I finally finished this last night, does anyone else think this is an awesome game?
