I'm just so happy -- and a bit surprised -- that Lindsay spelled "definitely" correctly. I would have pegged her for the "definately" demographic. #shannamoaklertwitter
@TransFat: If this is how she plans to use her gun (with the magazine not even locked and loaded), then we all have nothing to fear. #shannamoaklertwitter
Khloe, it's 'I couldn't care less', not 'I can care less'. Stating that you can or could care less means that you actually DO care...probably not what you meant.
@alouette: What's the thing over his eyes? Is it some crazy "feel like you're in the game" thing? I'm normally up with the vid-ya games, but all I care about at the moment is L4D2. #shannamoaklertwitter

@Antrack: Thankfully in this regard, we don't live together yet. I asked him over for lunch and he said, "Can't, Modern Warfare 2 comes out." #shannamoaklertwitter
@Lizard in the Wires now with even MORE metal in the face!: Ha! I don't know what that thing is, I'm not sure if it's central to the game or just some nerdy street cred. I will have to ask mr. alouette once he emerges from this game playing cave (I might have an answer for you by Friday, at the earliest.) #shannamoaklertwitter
@alouette: In the last year, my boyfriend has bought me a PlayStation 3, a Wii, and a flat screen TV as presents (the flat screen TV was a "get well" present--I had a cold.) I don't want to sound like an ungrateful brat, because it's SO SO generous and I know he bought them because he wanted us to have something we could enjoy together when we wanted to sit around doing nothing, but I don't know how many ways I can say, "Please please please don't spend your money on this stuff for me!! I DON'T LIKE VIDEO GAMES!" (unless it's the original Super Mario Brothers, Wii Tennis, Frogger, Tetris, or sometimes, Ratchet and Clank--yes, I have been forced to develop some small repertoire) I don't want to try Fallout 3, Oblivion, World of War Craft or Mad World. I won't like them. And I don't have to try them to know I won't. Stop asking and just play. I'll be here next to you reading. Parallel play is just fine sometimes. ;-) #shannamoaklertwitter
@Antrack: Oh headphones are a life saver there! As a very casual gamer married to a gamer who loves games with guns, I can say that they help keep our marriage strong. #shannamoaklertwitter
@booter26: I tried Fallout 3 but I am apparently so bad at coordinating moving side-to-side and up-and-down at the same time that I was laughed at. It seemed like an interesting enough premise, but a lack of spatial abilities has gotten me to the point where yes, like you, I'll bring a book instead :) #shannamoaklertwitter
@alouette: They are night vision goggles. My fiance has been wearing them since 9 this morning. Yes, he walked around his office with them on all day and even got his COO to go into the bathroom with the lights off to try them out.
I have to say, they're pretty fun for a toy. They have nothing to do with the gameplay though. In the game (at least, in previous COD games) you can use night vision goggles within the game. These are not used in conjunction with the game, they are just one of those fun/silly peripheral items to get someone to shell out more money for a game and preorder.
@alouette: I have the SAME problem!!! I try to explain this to my boy, but he thinks I'll get the hang of it eventually. It makes me feel like such a lame, not to be able to do what every man in the free world apparently can do with no problem. Not to mention that if you're as bad as I am, you get sort of nauseated.
Just wait a few months. They'll be like the big Master Chief helmets that came with the special edition of Halo 3. After a few months, people who don't collect that stuff will get restless and bored with them and take them to GameStop or another store where you can trade in video games and paraphernalia. I don't think these will be taken back in the same quantities, but I'm sure they will be available on the cheap within a few months.
We shut off all the lights in our house last night and took turns playing with the goggles. They're actually really badass. #shannamoaklertwitter
@abagatelle: Yes! That's my other favorite and pretty much the only PS3 game I have any mastery over. My ability is in the "recommended for ages 5-13" range and this works. Thanks for reminding me. :-) #shannamoaklertwitter
@Sputnik_Sweetheart: I hope she donates that beyotch to a orphanage, or a after school kid's center when she's done taking her single bounce on it. Sadly, it'll probably go into storage. #shannamoaklertwitter

Now, the trigger discipline on BOTH of them is just appalling. Remember the four rules, you morons! #shannamoaklertwitter

It's all been pretty amusing for me so far today. #shannamoaklertwitter
