Alright.So,it’s time for my First Post,and mini-blog thing.First of all,a bit of an introduction is in order I guess.

I Go by Char most everywhere.You may mostly see me Playing Kerbal Space Program,but my main interests are in Simulation games.Which besides for War Thunder,isn’t all that exciting to watch.Games for me are one part entertainment,and one part doing something I’ll most likely never be able to do or experience.I consider myself a bit of a grumpy old man of sorts,since I have a tendency to rant about things that greatly displease me.However I love a good conversation about most any topic,so don’t be afraid to ask me things.I don’t bite usually.I also have an undying love of classic movies.because they’re the best movies ever made!

I enjoy flying.I am a Private Pilot with over 110 hours in my log. My second home is the outdoors,hunting or fishing. I’m also a big Motorsports fan.

I take great pleasure in learning new things.This of course,has led me down a bit of weird path,as I know A LOT about War.I enjoy learning all I can about War.It’s a bit,uncomfortable now that I look at it.But it has been my passion from a younger age.I have knowledge of many conflicts, tactics, equipment, and people.I have also seen some of this equipment firsthand (I FLEW IN A B-17!IT WAS AWESOME!) and have talked to the people who were there,and heard their stories.For good or for bad.

This of course,Filters into gaming,and my love for War games. Simulators and Strategy games.Every game about war catches my eye. As a chance to experience in some way what it was like,or at least see how they interpret what really happened.To use my knowledge about tactics and equipment to gain the upper hand over my opponents.

However,it is sometimes easy to forgetin these games,that War is really,really horrible.That it’s bloody. That people’s entire lives are ruined in many ways by it. And that’s where Call of Duty:World at War comes in.A nice Slap in the face reminding everyone that war truly is hell.

It’s tone is very dark and gritty.Yes,it’s an FPS and there’s a lot of action,but you can never truly enjoy playing itas a game.it’s VERY Gory,and it’s M rating is WELL deserved.I never can go “This is Fun” when I blow a man’s arm off. The Soundtrack is amazing.it’s one of the best examples of music fitting a medium I can think of off the top of my head.It’s graphics get the point across.

The Campaign follows two Protagonists. Private C. Miller, A Marine whose story follows the brutal Island Hopping Campaign in the Pacific. Along with Private Dimitri Petrenko,a Red Army Soldier whose story Begins during the Siege of Stalingrad and ends in the middle of the Third Reich’s Last Stand in Berlin.

If I was to give this game an overall rating,I’d give it a Solid 9/10 on it’s Singleplayer alone.Being the  Black Sheep of the CoD Series on it’s gritty depiction of War.

I’ll be streaming this game in installments over the course of the next three Saturdays.I hope everyone will join me on this wild ride of a game.
