HoC Random Picture of the Day – 08302011
There may be some masochism involved
The Moon. Solo play. Level 10.
What can I say. Graybush wasn't online yet.
HoC Zombie Mode Tip of the Day: New Grenades
Recently we have spent a lot of time in the new Call of Duty BlackOps Rezurrection, The Moon map. Why shouldn't you benefit from our "educational" experience.
- Today we continue with our resident grenade expert Graybush:
- There are two new grenade types: QED (Quantum Entanglement Device) and the Gersch Device
- Both are tactical grenades that take up your secondary grenade slot - one will override the other similar to molotov cocktails overriding monkey bombs. A lesson that took a while for Graybush to learn.
- The Gersch Device is large box like grenade which generates black holes. It takes a few seconds to activate similar to the Monkey Bomb. When activated it creates a singularity which sucks all nearby zombies into it. We have seen it pull zombies closer, then deactivate leaving the zombies not only alive but closer than when the grenade was tossed. Fair warning.
- The QED grenade suits our play style. It's random. It does different things whenever you throw it. We have had it:
- explode in a manner similar to the astronauts
- drop a weapon (a Steyr Aug in our case)
- teleport the player
- do nothing (as far as we could tell)
- apparently it has 23 different effects
Halloween Teaser
As most of you know Halloween is my favorite time of year for many reasons. The main being this is when women let loose and show their inner monster. Of course it is also the time of year when I let my artistic side come out.
Most of the materials are bought. Just need chicken wire and some sealant foam. I am starting later than usual (usually start making the costume April etc, but because of unforeseen circumstances, I could not start until last week. I hope I will finish it in time.
HoC Zombie Mode Tip of the Day: Grenades
Recently we have spent a lot of time in the new Call of Duty BlackOps Rezurrection, The Moon map. Why shouldn't you benefit from our "educational" experience.
- Today our resident grenade expert Graybush has these tips:
- Grenades fly differently in low gravity, throw low and carefully
- Practice, practice, practice
- Don't throw grenades in the initial spawn room on the Moon. They shatter the windows and the area will no longer hold atmosphere. Important for later on.
A Comedy of Errors
Graybush and Blackwalt go to the Moon. High jinks ensue.
It was an entertaining night for Graybush and me. Once again in Zombie mode testing out the new Moon map.
The way it started you think we would have known to give up for the night.
Toggle Switches
If I have to ask a stupid question, you're the guys to ask
Rolly's play structure is finished and he has designated it a spaceship.
So I am in the process of building his spaceship a control panel and I am looking for toggle switches. Everyone who sells new is fairly expensive per unit.
I figured if anyone had a stash of these in their basement it would be you guys.
So if anyone has any toggle switches (or any other kind of cool surplus electronics) please let me know.
Rolly thanks you.

It's nice to be ready.
I still like the Emergency Zombie Defense Station but this one is good too.
Via the Chive.
Improving at Rezurrection
Level 14 is the new HoC high
Of course, we were back to just Graybush and I. As much as I want to say this is how it should be, I have to admit I have gotten used to the extra meat shields.
There may have been some casualties along the way...
This explains it!
This probably explains why I am so popular with the ladies:
Neanderthal sex boost to immunity
Great...
Now the Freaking Nerds are invading my Territory.
Though, I think it will be fun to check it out.

Come watch the Major League Gaming finals taking place in Raleigh, NC with a bunch of fellow StarCraft fans. If all goes well we'll definitely make this a regular thing. Show up and be one of the few who will be able to say they were there when it all started!
We'll be watching at the Clocktower Brew Pub on Bank St. I'll be there from noon to 9PM, so drop by anytime and support your local BarCraft! The tournament schedule still isn't set, but based on the MLG Anaheim schedule, the Semifinals should start at Noon, and the Finals should start around 4PM. This thread will be updated with accurate times when they're available.
I've reserved the large basement room for us so we'll have the use of the large projector down there - there will be no squinting at small screens to see the supply.
I was going to do something really cool this week.
But you know... zombies.

Hey-yo....
Found this little extra gem while tooling around the Moon map by myself. It's a hacker module.
