Exams

Hello there,

So, I've already had two IB exams, my poetry/prose commentary for English (ie paper 1) and my no-calculator Math exam (ie paper 1). They were interesting.

In interesting news concerning Black Ops, the Escalation map pack came out yesterday and, needless to say, I downloaded it. I played each of the maps at least once last night before I went to bed, I had an exam today after all, and here are my initial thoughts.

Despite the fact that Stockpile is a massive campfest I think it's my favourite of all 4 of the maps. There's plenty of room to hide and there's also enough room to see clear across the map, at least enough to get some killing done.

Convoy is very confusing. That's all for now.

Zoo is... interesting. I'm not sure whether I like it or not yet, but give me a few more days and I should be decided.

Finally there's Hotel. That's a unique one, it's very modern looking for the time frame we're looking at with the game, and it's relatively large. Finding my way around has proven difficult but with time I should get that.

Then there's the new Nazi Zombies map: Call of the Dead featuring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Danny Trejo, Robert Englund, Michael Rooker and a special zombie version of George A Romero. If you haven't played this map yet and don't want spoilers, skip the rest of this paragraph. Don't shoot or hit Romero!! He gets angry and carries a spot light which he will beat you senseless with and he doesn't back down. Be careful!! I only had to lose on round 1 once before I learned.

That's the extent of my thoughts on that... none of these maps can beat Berlin Wall for me. I love that map so much, it's excellent!

Anyway, I hope you're all having a good week. Mine's being interesting, I'm arguing with the University over something that's my IB coordinator's fault. So I'm waiting on some results from that, and I'm still working hard on prepping for my remaining 7 exam sittings. Wish me luck!

Tschus!
