User blog:SeaCrane 1/Nutshot News, Volume 5!

Dang. Fifth one. I need to get more consistent xD

I hope you all had a good Cinco De Derby (since the Kentucky Derby started on Saturday :P).

Saturday night was Prom night for me and I spent Sunday moving about 1,200 pounds of cement and sand mix around, so that's why this is a little late.

At any rate, enjoy!

This Nutshot News has some advice on game modes, a bit on how to infuriate one of our other beloved columnists, and some more random pictures!

Funny Pictures of the Week
Fern better not delete these... You should know that I can't put photos not on the Wiki in my galleries.

Tips of the Week

 * Tip One: Don't be afraid to do match types outside your norm. I used to never do Shotgun Only matches, but recently I've been trying them out and finding them chaotic and awesome. Also, if you never do Melee Only, it's a good way to get your GP up. Pistols only helps perfect your aim, since you can't spray with anything other than a G18 Cobra.
 * Tip Two: Teamwork. This is a rather foreign word, especially for most CoD veterans, but it's a requirement in clan matches and Fireteams in Combat Arms. Remember, a team is only as strong as its weakest link, and even then, only as strong as its ability to communicate.

Questions

 * If you could change the color scheme of any gun, what gun and to what colors?
 * In order to get an advantage, people often buy Gear items. If you could change the stats (within reason) on a Gear item, which item would it be?

Music and stuff

 * Album of the Week: Vicious Little Smile by Oedipus (This is my cousin's band!)
 * Cool Song: Dragula by Rob Zombie (Hellbilly Deluxe Edition)
 * Musical Question: Do you have a favorite music genre? Simple question, but it can say a lot.

How to Piss Off Tommygun9504
I'd been meaning to do this one for a while now. Just four of the various ways to infuriate Tommy.


 * 1) Use a Satellite Scanner. A little bit of Tommy dies inside every time he sees a sat scanner being used.


 * 1) Use an M32. 'nuff said.


 * 1) Use a Specialist in general.


 * 1) Make sure you use a G36 AND an M416 CQB. Perhaps shoot him twice with the G36 and once with the CQB. Any combination works.

Any Other Games Out There?
Uplink, one of the most awesome hacking games out there. Utilize the tools of the trade (password crackers, firewalls, log erasers, and more) and upgrade your hardware to get your missions done! It's probably one of the most addictive, fun games ever, especially for you techies out there.
