Video Game Review: Black Ops

The newest game in the Call of Duty series, Black Ops, was released two weeks ago.  I’ve spent a good amount of time in those weeks testing the game out and I have to say, I’m impressed by the game on a whole.

However before I write more, here’s a little background on the Call of Duty games.  Black Ops was created by the design team called Treyarch.  These designers made the CoD 3 and CoD: World at War.  They are not the same team that made the CoD series and the ever popular Modern Warfare series (Infinity Ward made these).

TV Review: Blue Mountain State

Here at Rip City Soccer, we love a good TV series. We’ve been through a lot in the past year and a half. We’ve gone through all of the seasons of Steve Carell’s The Office which, inadvertently, caused an increase in the amount of “that’s what she said” jokes. Also, Thug Winslow has introduced the crew to both It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and How I Met Your Mother (which I’m currently completely enthralled with), two hilarious sit-coms.

Our TV viewing was revolutionized however by the edition of Netflix this year. We’ve torn through all the available seasons of HBO’s popular comedy Weeds, watched Michael Scofield break out of multiple prisons in Prison Break and laughed at the over-the-top story of Archer. However, our favorite TV series out of all of these has to be the ridiculous and hilarious story of the D1 college football team from Blue Mountain State.
