I don’t love that this happens, but because I was in those trenches for many years I like to make my holiday shopping trips as pleasant as possible for the retail workers. I’ll try to take up as much time with them as I can just shooting the shit and helping them relax a little or giving them knowing looks whenever some asshole engages them.

It’s like on-the-job therapy.

It was Dusty. Dusty finally gave up the ghost a few months ago and we haven’t been able to replace him yet.

Best named Iron Chef ever.

For real, what happened with that whole family of creators? I haven’t watched any of them in over 10 years.

Not to mention that the reboot is basically being scrapped and redone because the original creative team was “released”.

Yep. The single-player campaign is available for everyone, but the people who pre-ordered got to play it a week early.

The shortness of the campaign could be a contributed to a couple factors: there were rumors that MW3 started off life as DLC for MW2; the game developer Sledgehammer Games had come out and said they were initially tasked with developing Advanced Warfare 2 (I think) but that project was cancelled and they pivoted to MW3 and got that completed in 18 months.

Either way, the campaign is a big disappointment. Multiplayer seems to be getting enjoyed by a lot of people, though. Haters gonna hate.

Early Access to the single player campaign is a pre-order bonus.
