Back with another call of duty modern warfare 3 gameplay w/ commentary. For a change here’s a team deathmatch on the map Bakara. Finished 27-7 on this map, pretty good but still room for improvement.

A modern warfare 3 demolition match on underground. Finished the game with 27-7 which isn’t too bad for me. Highest K/D ratio on the team which was nice and just 1 kill off topping the match scoring. Still a decent game for me.

Rather than running around like an idiot which always gets me killed, I decided to hang back and get into better positions to defend objectives and catch enemy players running into objectives for easier kills while trying to give myself better protection. I’m learning the more games I play that watching your own back is much more important than trying to rack up kills as quickly as possible. Being successful at one will make me better at the other.

A demolition match on bootleg, pretty fun map. Started using the bouncing betty mines, pretty cool. They work very similar to the claymore’s but can be placed a little quicker.

Still using the Type 95 assault rifle, getting better with it. I don’t top the team leaderboard in this game but do manage to get the best team K/D ratio which was nice. Also had a few nice kills, we ended up winning this match also.

Still learning the Type 95 assault rifle on a kill confirmed match on the Fallen map. I also talk about the desktop microphone I use for my recordings. I use the BlueMic Yeti USB desktop microphone http://www.bluemic.com/yeti/

It’s an amazing mic and as it’s USB it’s fully digital audio you record to rather than converting analog to digital and needing extra hardware. You also don’t get any static or interference with a digital mic which is another plus. I actually talked about the mic when I first got it back in April if you’re interested in a great quality desktop microphone for all purpose recording.

I’m not a good call of duty player, but I just like making videos and posting them on the internet for fun. More of a learning tool for me to record and post my games and see where I go wrong and what I can improve on. I don’t post games that I top the leaderboard or get a high kill count or anything, but interesting games where I might have a nice kill streak going or a good lesson learned!

This was a kill confirmed match on Carbon played on the XBOX 360.

I’m starting to get excited about the PlayStation Vita, the launch line-up of games looks promising including Ridge Racer (above). The PS Vita is currently on pre-order here in Australia for ~$348 (wifi only), I think I’ll get one. I’m no way a PlayStation fanboy (jumped ship after the PS2 to XBOX 360) and didn’t really like the PSP but the PS Vita really does look very good.

If you’ve not seen any Little Big Planet PS Vita gameplay footage you really should, its awesome. I’ll see if I can track down some and post it here.

I’ve been playing the same old games recently so decided to pick up something new, and Rayman fits that need nicely. Rayman Origins is a throwback to the good old days of 2D side scrolling fun. The artwork is the first thing that jumps out at you on this game, it’s exceptional. The level design is top notch also. There’s lots of fun to be had with Rayman Origins, the learning curve is short but the challenge is also there to keep you occupied for a while.

I played this on XBOX 360 but is also available on PS3 and Wii as well as PC

I have been thinking about purchasing a big HD PVR for capturing game console footage but I came across a cheaper alternative called the Roxio game capture card. It allows you to play your games to the TV in HD as it passes through the signal straight to the TV and allows footage capture up to 480p (720×480).

So only standard definition capture but since its half the cost of the cheapest HD PVR and if you’re not too fussed about capturing your gaming footage in SD I’d recommend you check this one out.
