Camcorders

Soooo I need help picking out a camcorder. I'm not looking to make small films or anything. I'm thinking of getting one so I can record my golf swing, bowling, choreography, and maybe some video blogging (yes I might be starting a new lame hobby). A smaller camcorder would be ideal, unless I'm told ...

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

I play the objective type games depending on mood. Domination, demolition, sabotage lately. I played a lot of ground war on MW2, but my router has had NAT issues which made it hard to connect to ground war games in black ops. However recently I did figure out the port forwarding to give me an open N...

Occasionally Gamestop has real good trade in values for major release games. For the life of me, I can't remember what the deal was exactly, but I think it was 3 games plus $20 for Modern Warfare 2. I believe I traded in MW1, Left 4 Dead, and Halo 3 for the game. I think they did something similar f...
