Hostile slick inbound, over!

Hej.
My guess I should do one of those post things. Well I don't exactly have much to write about really, kinda down atm, can't really be bothered to do much or write anything. Been playing copious amounts of BF2, i'm now a Staff Sergeant. I've got a few decent awards and stuff now, trying to get the Veteran combat badges for each class, and stuff like knife and pistol combat. I love the G36E unlock for Medic, it's really powerful and more accurate than the Spec Ops' G36C, if a bit worse at close quarters because it's burst instead of semi-auto. You get tons of points as medic, and it's fun reviving people. Been playing with a few regulars, they're really good; and it's so much more fun with talking and a good squad. It's quite suprising actually how few people use VOiP on it, because it's a ton faster than typing and allows far, far more complex strategies than using the Q command or the squadleader just placing an attack or defend marker on the map and everyone dumbly running along to the spot.
Once we were defending a flag on Dalian Plant, and an enemy tank rolls in. I was the only Anti-Tank in the squad, the rest were Spec Ops and Medics. I fired a SRAW at it (takes about 3 to kill one) to distract it, while the others C4ed it.
Also it's a ton easier to do stuff like get a good Blackhawk setup with VOiP, you get mostly ignored if you tell people what to do by typing.

Funzorz. I got the Special Forces expansion pack with BF2, but I haven't played very much of that; most of the maps are 'meat grinder' tightly-packed city ones where it's just like spawn-death from sniper-spawn-artillery on your head-spawn in front of a tank-spawn-assault rifle magazine unloaded in your face... Whichever dumbass decided we needed grunt-combat-time needs to be beaten.

On another note, I finished my month trial of Eve Online, and I decided not to subscribe. I don't really want to spend that much dosh on a game, and it was kinda slow anyway. I didn't like how when you buy a new part for your ship you also need to buy and then wait hours for the skill(s) to train before you could use it.

See you!

DS Lite

Well, it's been a good few months since the DS was out, so I guess it's time for a redesign.
Apart from looking like the bastard spawn of an iPod, it looks quite good, with larger and prettier screens, and the body is also smaller and lighter. They're also tying the looks into the Revolution: the d-pad has the same markings and the general look is similar to the Rev controller.
It is too soon for this though, the SP was released a good 2 years after the GBA; I would be quite pissed off if i'd bought a DS at full price recently. I think Nintendo also recently quashed rumours of a redesign, which is slightly underhand.

The point is, they should revise their hardware before manufacture, not test out a prototype on the public (while raking in the early adopters' money) and then announce a new version. It's the equivalent to launching hardware and then slashing the price by £100 within a few months like they did with N64, (and MS with Xbox, but they did offer free games) it lowers your reputation as a solid, trustworthy company. I mean, that's a fair part of Nintendo's appeal- you expect better from them.
