Black Ops; BC2 'Onslaught', MW2 vids!

 Still in love with Emma Peel...

    Got a call yesterday from my ex-manager that the Nanotech HR department had called him. I'm very pleased that they're actively checking me. Keeping my fingers crossed! Apparently, there are a lot of ex-NXP folks applying. Guess they're as desperate as I am for work. ;-)
    Down below, you'll see that Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is getting a co-op mode. Not sure of all the details, but once it becomes available as DLC on Xbox Live, I might buy another copy to try it out. I love co-op.
    Another great piece of news, of course, is that Treyarch is including some version of 2-4 player co-op on Call of Duty: Black Ops. I hope that means the campaign co-op they included in World at War. Tho, Reibo enjoyed the W@W zombies, I always liked straight co-op the best.
    It looks like I'll be obliged to get another Blu-Ray player. The current one is definitely failing. I'll be going online and checking reviews to see which one is best for the HQ game room.
