Holy Moly, what a show! How many of your twitter followers actually care what you’re tweeting? You’re about to find out. Rubert Murdoch wishes Google would be go away, for life. You should care about Net Neutrality and go to savetheinternet.com, if you’re not a terrorist. Google music dropped, and also some rumors of iTunes going subscription based. MEECH from thefightins.com came on and killed it something fierce. He runs a successfully Phillies blog over here on the east coast, so we chatted it up. OH, and what about some Nerdy Newz Nuggetz, you got it!

Anyway, I know Modern Warfare 2 isnt suppose to come out until tomorrow, But I got a full Legit copy of the game on Friday because I pre ordered it from a Store called “Game Traders” In The Deptford mall. They release games 4 days before the release date. You didn’t hear it from me, *Wink Wink*

Well, Im gonna try to keep this review as spoiler free as possible. I haven’t played much of the multiplayer yet, but from what I have played, Its amazing. The game is much more smoother and the graphics are mind blowing. They took away some perks from the game, The 2 biggest being Juggernaut and Overkill. Now you can always carry a primary weapon as your secondary weapon. The maps are much bigger thatn the previous Modern Warfare, which is a plus, but if you are playing locally with just a few buddies at your house and not on live, The games could tend to get a tad bit long.

Now on to the story mode. Again, not gonna give away much of the story, But heres what I will tell you. The story is way better than the last modern warfare. Its a little longer than last year to, Which is great because even though I loved the story mode from the last game, I finished it in like 5 hours. The snowmobile missions are fucking INSANE, so is the one where you go in space.

Again, I REALLY wish I could tell you more, But I know there are probably some people who want to wait and find out about the story and other stuff for them selves.

Moreover, I hate when people mess with my internet. If I want to browse LOLcats while I’m getting a $14 Hair Cuttery haircut, I should be allowed to, darn it. If I’m sipping some MGD64 while at the bar and reading the latest recap of Gossip Girl, I want it at its fastest possible speed. Don’t you? John McCain doesn’t.

Verizon, Comcast, Time Warner and AT&T just to name a few, want to control the ways you get the internet. It’s called the Internet Freedom Act (S. 1836), and it really pisses me off.

I mean, how can you not support a bill called the Internet FREEDOM Act? What are you, a terrorist? The bottom line is the FCC supports what’s called Net Neutrality. Sounds lame and boring, I know. What that means is they want you to have unfettered access to the internet, whether it is CNN.com, Hulu.com, FOXNEWS.com, and YouTube.com. They understand that everyone should have the same access and privileges to the Internet. If I have Comcast, and you have Verizon, we should have the same access regardless.

The “Internet Freedom Act” opposes that Net Neutrality. They think that the FCC & the Government should keep their grubby mits OFF the Internet. This, to most people sounds like a pretty good idea. Except when you realize what John McCain and Democrats and Republicans alike want to happen instead. Without Net Neutrality, they would like to see Comcast, Verizon, AT&T and others have control over the internet that comes into your home. You want to have the Internet Gaming Plan? That’s an extra $60/month, please. Oh, you want to be able to download large video files, that would be an extra $20 please. McCains bill would allow service providers to block packets, slow down and even speed up access to whomever they want.

Comcast is even in talks to buy NBC. If this bills passes and the sale goes through, it’s entirely conceivable that if you are a Comcast subscriber, they would slow down access to ABC.com, CBS.com or block them completely, while speeding up your access to NBC.com. If something is not in your providers corporate interest, they could be able to do whatever the heck they want.

I find it completely staggering that this bill is being spearhead by someone who, when asked if he prefers a Mac or a PC; “Neither, I am a illiterate that has to rely on my wife for all the assistance I can get.” Did I mention that John McCain has been the largest recipient of telecom donations and contributions in the last several years?

I hate politics.
