Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombie

Call of Duty: Black Ops
Kino der Toten

















The first zombie map from Black Ops is Kino der Toten, which is German for "Cinema of the Dead." You get the map at the start of the game and it takes place in an abandoned cinema/theater. There's some new components to the zombie mode, such as the Crawler zombies, fire pit traps, and some new wonder weapons. The Ray gun is a returning weapon from the previous zombie maps, and the wonder weapon introduced in Kino is the Thundergun. The storyline for it is pretty interesting. Kino der Toten is originally the place that Dr. Ludvig Maxis would teleport to and unveil the Teleporter itself to the military. Maxis was killed by Doctor Richtofen (a character you play as) along with his daughter Samanta Maxis, so the theater remained closed. After World War II ended, the Americans got to Der Riese (zombie map in World at War) and took everything there, such as the Teleporters and Ray gun which is on the map Five. They kept those things at the Pentagon, but the zombies teleported with them. The teleporters are all connected so the zombies teleported all around Kino der Toten and on Five.

Five





















The other zombie map, Five, is locked until you beat the campaign. There is a way to unlock it without playing the campaign though. At the waiting screen, you get up from your seat by pressing 'LT' and 'RT' repeatedly until you break free. From there you walk around and find a computer and type in "3arc unlock" I still don't know the storyline for Five just yet. It does connect with the other maps. In Ascension, there's red phones that connect to the ones in Five. You can hear Nixon go "Aroooooooo" then shoot some zombies on one phone, and the other phone Fidel Castro picks up. 

I won't talk much about Ascension, I haven't played it much since I didn't get the First Strike. Just didn't seem worth it. But the Escalation map pack is definitely going to be worth it. 4 maps: Zoo, Convoy, Hotel, and Stockpile. And a new zombie map called "Call of the Dead," which is based off of Discovery/Project Nova in the campaign.

Minecraft

So... I started playing Minecraft recently, and I'm addicted. Minecraft is an Indie game that's all about placing blocks to build anything you can imagine. At night monsters come out (unless your on Peaceful mode) so you have to make a shelter before they come out. I don't exactly have my account, I play on my brother's acocunt because he has his own server. Minecraft just has infinite possibilities, there is so many things you can build. I made at least ten castles... only to have a creeper come up from behind me and destroy it..
Story of my life right there
" -FUUUUUUUUUUUUU "
This would be funny, if it hadn't happened to me in every singleplayer world I made ): My brother's server was much more fun for me. I could give myself any block to create anything I want. So in my brother's server, I made huge castles, the smallest around 90 blocks by 90 blocks. The one that I am currently working on has about a 110 x 110 castle wall going around my actual base, with four buttresses on each corner as lookout towers. Anyone else who has Minecraft can agree with me when they say: it's too damn addicting.

My First Blog

This will be my first post. I recently decided to make a blog to express with words what my thoughts are. There's just too much in my head right now, and it's breaking me. I'm always dreaming. Dreaming of what would life be like if I lived in a fantasy world, what it would be like to have someone you love, what it would be like if I wasn't here anymore. That's it for now, I'll make more meaningful posts in the future.
