Modern Warfare 3 Has Been Disappointing

-

I've been playing Call of Duty for a long time and I love the franchise, but I've got to say that Modern Warfare 3 has been a disappointment. 

I was really hyped that they were going to continue the story from the original story line, so I preordered the game. That's how hyped I was. I don't often pre-order games because I like to wait to see what people say about it before I spend the money. 

For those unaware, if you pre-ordered the game you would get early access to the multiplayer and campaign. The multiplayer beta was just for a weekend, however, early access to the campaign would go until the full release of the game starting November 9th. 

The multiplayer was fun and I didn't have too many complaints about it. It felt reminiscent of the early game, especially because they brought back some of our favorite maps. I'm not going to say that loved the map Rust, but it does bring back memories. 

My friends and I played as much as we were able to. It was a lot of fun, so naturally, my enthusiasm for the game grew, but wouldn't survive the end of the campaign. It's not that I didn't like the story, I just didn't care for the open world set up of some of the missions. 

It was kind of like playing DMZ except we have to complete the missions to exfil to the next level, which, was bad, but I didn't feel compelled to complete the mission. Having an unlimited amount of time to complete the objectives wasn't very challenging. Yes, there was a part of one mission where it had a timer, but for the most part you could spend as long as you want skulking around the maps to find the caches. 

I didn't care for it and I know some people that like playing DMZ might like it, but to me it didn't add anything to the story, if anything, it took away from it. If I had to venture a guess, I'd say the reason they threw a campaign skin on DMZ is because it was the fastest way to get the game released on time. 

The game wasn't originally supposed to be released until next year, but the powers that be decided it would be better to release it right before the end of the year. I think it was a poor decision that could ultimately cost them in the long run. The reviews are out, and so far, they aren't good. 

A lot of people are disappointed with the game so far and are hoping that the modes we have yet to play make up for what the campaign lacked and some of the complaints with multiplayer. I'm not saying the game isn't worth playing or buying, but maybe do some research and talk to some folks before pulling the trigger on the purchase. Maybe wait until you can catch it on sale-- which might happen sooner rather than later.

Here's Are Some Thing I've Learned From Growing My Cannabis Plant

Growing my plant turned out to be a complete waste of time. The whole appeal of DIY growing was not having to spend money on bud. From what I understand, a plant can yield about a pound of marijuana which would have lasted me at least 6 months, however, my plant turned out to be a male which is basically useless.  I know, I know...what do you mean useless? Well, male plants aren't the ones we smoke; it's the female plants that produce the potent sticky icky bud we all love.  Yes, I'm disappointed that my own grow was a bust, however, I figured I could at least share the things I learned along the way.  Male Plants versus Female Plants If you happen to come across a seed, or two, there's no way to tell whether or not a plant is male or female until it starts to grown, so my first tip is that if you only have the one seed, pray...pray real hard or skip planting all together because if you do end up with a male plant, it's more of a hassle than it's worth.  Serious

I'm tired of people telling me what I need to do, but not willing to help me do it.

I'm tired of people telling me what I need to do, but not willing to help me do it.  I live in, literally, the middle of God's green no where right now and I don't have a car.  Each time I've saved up money to get myself a car something happens.  For instance, I was up about $5k when the pandemic happened and I was just about to pull the trigger on getting a car, but at the time people were getting laid off and business was slowing down.  I figured it would be mighty stupid of me to take on this rather large financial obligation knowing that there's a chance I could be laid off.  Sure as shit, a month later, I was laid off. I wasn't at any great loss for not having a car at the time because I was living in NC and could walk, bike, or Uber/Lyft wherever I needed to go.  It sucked not having a car and having to walk places, but I swallowed my pride and did what I needed to do to make it.  Here, I can't walk anywhere. I can't Uber anywhere, so me getting a

Update for my Loyalists

I feel bad that I didn't do a podcast episode last week and feel bad that I don't feel like doing one this week. To be honest, every time I skip a podcast episode I left myself down more than anyone, but I think right now I'm going to put them on hold until I find another job, or get some money. It's hard to keep motivated when I'm stressing about money and trying to find a job. I wish I had the support and freedom to just focus on making my media company a success, but when you don't have money to eat it takes away from your focus.  I'm not sleeping well at night because my problems keep me up. Sometimes I'll stay up until I literally pass out and I know that's not good. I know that it's a sign that I'm depressed. I try to wake up every day and pretend everything is alright and I'm alright, but I'm not.  Everyday it's a struggle to keep my wits about me. I woke up one morning recently, went out side, found a huge stick, and slamm
