Okay but what about Gaz and poc reader holding a "very important" meeting with 141 to bring awareness to concepts like edges and being ashy

[mudgazing]

Farah: You're late to the debriefing. Now drop and give me 50.

Alex: *Sighs, starts doing pushups.*

Farah: Say my name while you're at it too.

Alex: Pardon?

Farah: What?

141 as Rabbits (I am insane)

This post made me think about this.

For context I don't know much about rabbits. I did barely any research for this so take it with a grain of salt. If you know more about these silly guys gimme some wisdom.

Anyways, 141 as rabbits.

Soap- Netherlands Dwarf Rabbit. I was thinking of making him a Wild Rabbit or Hare (because I think the personalities are similar as well as the appearance), but I read about these guys and it was over. They're very smart and active, and can get pretty destructive if they're bored.

Ghost- Checkered Giant Rabbit. Was considering making him a Blanc de Hotot, but I wanted to pick a rabbit with similar mannerisms to him. They can be decently chill rabbits, but can be very aggressive if put in stressful situations. Also claustrophobic. And (as the name suggests) these guys are BIG. Like the maine coon's of rabbits.

Gaz- Mini Rex Rabbit. I wanted to do a rabbit that was calm and smart, but also sleek looking. I think these guys fill that bill pretty well. They also require a lot of socialization and like having friends :).

Price- Teddy Dwarf Rabbit. Like Gaz, I wanted to find a rabbit breed that was friendly and smart. Also a rabbit that has crazy hair. These guys are little which I think is silly. Tiny guy in charge of two big guys and one tinier guy.

I'll probably draw this later but Laswell is their handler. If she were to be a rabbit she'd probably be a Mini Satin Rabbit. They're calm and pretty smart. Also she would be a very sleek rabbit (like Gaz).

WHY IS TUMBLR ADVERTISING DIVORCE TO ME

Valentine's callsign in the 141 is Loverboy. Soap started it, and Gaz picked up quick, but it really stuck the first time Price uses it

just finished call of duty black ops. here are some (long, comma abusing, mostly tangentially related) thoughts after playing it for the first time for anyone who might read them!

altogether the campaign was fine, i guess.

as many others have in the past few years following the modern warfare remakes, my online activity has been inundated with thirst edits made of characters in call of duty — despite having never played the games myself. they’re not my thing.

my flatmate, however, has played them. he played them as a kid when they were being released, and he has had the misfortune of being on the receiving end of me watching these edits and reading fanfics (shout out early 351780!!). increasingly annoyed at my thirsting, he has forced me to play every call of duty campaign on the xbox 360.

i’ve found that i actually really enjoy playing cod. it’s enjoyable, action packed and, most importantly, quite compelling. they’re something i’d never have considered playing without him pushing me to play them. i’m more of an assassin’s creed/ace combat/nier girl and always have been. the closest i’d been to playing a shooter before this experience was playing gta, badly.

my flatmate knew my priorities. after an introduction to the premise with world at war — the first game in the black ops series, which i promise i will get to at some point — we played the original modern warfare campaigns first, because i am a wee bit in love with captain john price, and i loved them. the stories, while simple enough to follow (and already knowing about the main character deaths in advance — it’s a 10+ year old series, after all!), were emotionally evocative. i found myself becoming attached to the protagonists quickly and deeply, all the while having a whale of a time fucking around in the rest of the mission. this girl loves just walking onto grenades! between world at war and the modern warfare trilogy of campaigns, i was hooked from the start.

i realise now that i have been spoiled. those campaigns were just too good.

black ops’ campaign pales in comparison to the other four games i’ve played. i will admit that it is still fun — very fun! i enjoyed the feeling of progressing from one badass area to the next, with sam worthington’s horrific american accent and gary oldman’s alright russian accent pushing me through. i also have to admit that i still play like an absolute scrub, but the enjoyment i got from it outweighed the frustration. (mostly.)

black ops lacks the charm and depth i loved in world at war. while fun, every plot twist was spotted as soon as it was hinted to, much to my flatmate’s dismay. it took one guy telling mason to get a hold of himself for me to figure out the twist around reznov, and one recitation of the numbers on the way to the pentagon for me to figure out that mason would go on to kill kennedy. this, in particular, also felt like a bit of a cop-out — having this confirmed in a post-credits scene was disappointing, when i’d gone through the whole game and sat through an eminem song in the credits expecting a sequence where i’d be on the grassy knoll just to end up in a round of zombies. honk shoo.

modern warfare — modern warfare 2 in particular (kevin mckidd’s soap my beloved <3) — introduced new mechanics that’d be used once or twice in the whole game, most of which i enjoyed. the missions where you have to assist tf141 from an ac130 in the first game? stellar. absolutely unmatched. all ghillied up can go fuck itself on a gameplay front though, fuck you if you think i’m gonna figure out what the coriolis effect is. in black ops, the helicopter sequences felt like hate crimes against me personally. poorly designed flight controls and awful combat mechanics combined to make a literally unplayable pair of missions involving attacking other helicopters that i had to beg my flatmate to complete for me. embarrassing.

this game is utterly us army propaganda. the epic final shot in the campaign after killing dragovich — where suddenly 3 aircraft carriers are there waiting for you flying star spangled banners, and 8 fighter jets pass overhead — only resulted in making me cringe and laugh in disbelief, where in 2010 it would’ve made young men enlist. world at war at least has the balance of ‘war is cool and we’re the best’ in the pacific segments and ‘war sucks, actually,’ in the eastern front segments. modern warfare, too, falls face first into the latter, and that’s part of what i enjoyed about it.

even the little fun things weren’t as enjoyable. i didn’t have a favourite gun, or a favourite mission. the star cast choices were okay, but nothing to call home about. there wasn’t a ‘production babies’ segment in the credits, and they made me listen to eminem and pink. what the fuck?

altogether, black ops 1 has the worst campaign of the franchise i’ve played so far. next we’re onto black ops 2, which hopefully won’t come with a free personal statement like this one, and which i’ve been told is one of the best games ever made. we’ll see.

3/10
