COD Black Ops Servers Exclusive Gaming Deal

Call of Duty Black Ops Servers

Anyone on top of the gaming news knows that Call of Duty (COD) Black Ops will be released this November 9th 2010. It is predicted to be one of the biggest gaming releases in history. Those clans and individuals who are serious about getting their own gaming server might be a tad let down.

As announced by Activision and Treyarch studios, GameServers will be the official server provider upon release of Black Ops. This has changed the game a little bit for those who were looking to host their own dedicated hardware. As instead of gaming clans being able to host their own private server hardware they’ll have to rent a server from GameServers.

“We are thrilled at the opportunity to provide high performance dedicated Call of Duty : Black Ops servers to the world”, says Anthony Quon, COO of GameServers. “Over the course of the past several months, we have been working rigorously with our partners to ensure that our global network infrastructure can withstand the mounting popularity of Black Ops.”

Despite being the leader in game hosting solutions many clans may get turned off in general by the exclusive server deal.

According to their site Clans will have the option of Ranked Servers which run $14.95 for 18 players or $0.99/player for unranked servers. They offer package discounts on monthly prepays. They are currently accepting preorders for servers which will guarantee your choice server location and speed.

“Nobody will have to rent a dedicated server through GameServers in order to play the game,” says Josh Olin, community manager for Trearch. “But for anybody who wants to run their own server, it will be run from GameServers.”

“If players want to run a dedicated Ranked or Unranked server on the PC, they will have to rent one through GameServers,” Olin told IGN. “Treyarch will be providing a fleet of ‘Day-1 Servers’ (through GameServers) which will be up and operational on November 9th.

Olin added that this partnership adds the advantage of much more effective anti-cheating and hacking moderation.

“If you rent a server, you will still have the ability to Kick, Ban, and Configure it the way you see fit,” Olin added. “Of course Ranked servers will have some set configurations that can’t be messed with; but you will still have the power to administrate your servers as a customer of GameServers.”

Though this may leave a bad taste in the mouths of many salivating gamers and clans in general looking to run their own Black Ops servers, nontheless Black Ops is still gaining massive momentum and slated to be one of the biggest releases in most if not all of gaming history.

It’s still too early to say how clans and gamers in general will react in tandem with the exclusive server deal, but if the current trend of growing popularity for the game continues at it’s current rate the news about GameServers being the exclusive server provider may only put a dent in the popularity of the game.

Call of Duty Black Ops will be released on Nov 9th 2010 for PC, Playstation 3, Xbox 360. It’s highly anticipated release and the exclusive server deal will surely be the talk of the gaming community for some time.

Noah’s Arkansas

Filed under: Upcoming & Trailers — sonic @ 9:53 pm April 27, 2010

That said, it is with a big happy sigh of relief that I report that this exquisite new play, written by Bogard and produced by Wide Eyed, has made me feel that my decisions were entirely justified.

Noah’s Arkansas is a heartfelt drama about family, trust, and the all-too-brief time we have together on this planet; it’s possible to quibble about this or that decision, but Bogard’s script is solid, intelligent, funny, and often profound, and the production, under the steady hand of director Neil Fennell, is beautifully wrought. Noah’s Arkansas Review

Noah’s Arkansas Review

Filed under: Indie — sonic @ 8:43 pm

The catalyst for the events in Noah’s Arkansas is the annual summer arrival of Michael, Wayne’s 14-year-old son. Michael lives during the school year in Tulsa with his mom (Wayne’s ex-wife), and reluctantly spends his summers with Wayne and Lizzy.

Michael is a troubled teen, and his appearance—a blue streak in his hair, a gold ring on his lip and a stud on his tongue—is only the surface indication of what’s going on with this sensitive young man: Wayne learns that Michael spent some time recently in a mental institution.

Jerrod Bogard builds the first two acts of his play masterfully, delineating the tense relationship between father and son; the outcome of Act II, which probes what it means to care for, to trust, another human being, brings us to intermission with full hearts.

And then the turn of events that Bogard presents in the final act both surprises and moves us, taking this story of fathers and sons to an even deeper, more fulfilling place. Read full Noah’s Arkansas Review >>

The Widow is a song written by the Mars Volta. The song was released on their 2nd album entitled “Frances the Mute”. Mars Volta first performed the song in 5/04 and Wiltern Theatre in LA where they had a 3 night residence at the end of the tour that was supporting their debut album “De-loused in the Comatorium”.

During the concert Mars Volta dedicated “The Widow” to former member Jeremy Ward who had died of a drug overdose in 5/03. After the release of Mars Volta Widow it peaked at #95 on the US billboard charts, which made “The Widow” Mars Volta’s first single to chart. The Widow also reached #20 in the singles chart of the UK. The Widow also reached #7 on the Billboard modern rock chart.

Mars Volta’s Widow is the only pop structured song on the album “Frances the Mute”. The Widow features a trumpet cameo from Flea after the 2nd chorus of the song.

The Widow single contains the 14 minute track “Frances the Mute” which was taken off as the initial opening track to the album for unknown reasons.

clockwork orange quotes

When it comes to Stanley Kubrick, you would be completely in the dark if you hadn’t yet watched A Clockwork Orange. Based on the dystopian novel by Anthony Burgess, the movie portrays a young man who’s been desensitized to violence and has thus become a sociopathic murderer and rapist, all in a very avant-garde/art-house sort of way. Some of the most memorable quotes are below.

Frank Alexander: Food alright?
Alex: Great sir, great!
Frank Alexander: Try the wine!

Alex: No time for the old in-out, love, I’ve just come to read the meter.

Alex: Eggiwegs! I would like… to smash them!

Alex: What we were after now was the old surprise visit. That was a real kick and good for laughs and lashings of the old ultraviolence.

Alex: We were all feeling a bit shagged and fagged and fashed, it being a night of no small expenditure.

[first lines]
Alex: There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, and we sat in the Korova Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening. The Korova milkbar sold milk-plus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence.

Alex: Well, well, well! Well if it isn’t fat stinking billy goat Billy Boy in poison! How art thou, thou globby bottle of cheap stinking chip oil? Come and get one in the yarbles, if ya have any yarble, ya eunuch jelly thou!

[about his wife]
Frank Alexander: She was very badly raped, you see! We were assaulted by a gang of vicious, young, hoodlums in this house! In this very room you are sitting in now! I was left a helpless cripple, but for her the agony was too great! The doctor said it was pneumonia; because it happened some months later! During a flu epidemic! The doctors told me it was pneumonia, but I knew what it was! A VICTIM OF THE MODERN AGE! Poor, poor girl!

[Alex has just struck Dim on the legs]
Dim: What did you do that for?
Alex: For being a bastard with no manners, you haven’t a dook of an idea how to comport yourself public-wise, O my brother!
Dim: I don’t like you should do what you’ve done and I’m not your brother no more and wouldn’t want to be.
Alex: Watch that, do watch that O Dim, if to continue to be on live thou, dost wist?
Dim: Yarbles! Great bolshy yarblockos to you. I’ll meet you with chain or nozh or britva anytime. I’m not having you aiming tolchocks at me reasonless. It stands to reason, I won’t have it.
Alex: A nozh scrap anytime you say.
Dim: Doobiedoob, a bit tired maybe, best not to say more. Bedways is rightways now, so best we go homeways and get a bit of spatchka. Right-right?

Alex: As we walked along the flatblock marina, I was calm on the outside, but thinking all the time – Now it was to be Georgie the general, saying what we should do and what not to do, and Dim as his mindless greeding bulldog. But suddenly, I viddied that thinking was for the gloopy ones, and that the oomny ones use like, inspiration and what Bog sends. Now it was lovely music that came into my aid. There was a window open with the stereo on, and I viddied right at once what to do.

Alex: Viddy well, little brother. Viddy well.

[Alex chats up two girls sucking penis-shaped lollies]
Alex: Enjoying that are you my darlin’? Bit cold and pointless isn’t it my lovely? What’s happened to yours my little sister?

- A Clockwork Orange Quotes

Alex: Appy-polly-loggies. I had something of a pain in my gulliver so I had to sleep. I was not awakened when I gave orders for awakening.

Alex: What you got back home, little sister, to play your fuzzy warbles on? I bet you got, say, pitiful, portable picnic players. Come with uncle and hear all proper! Hear angels’ trumpets and devils’ trombones. You are invited!

Frank Alexander: Who on Earth could that be?
Mrs. Alexander: I’ll go and see.

Billy Boy: Lets get ‘em boys!

[Alex encounters his old friends, who are now police]
Alex: It’s impossible! I can’t believe it!
Georgie: Evidence of the ol’ glassies! Nothing up our sleeves, no magic little Alex! A job for two who are now of job age! The police!

Alex: Hi, hi, hi there! At last we meet. Our brief govoreet through the letter-hole was not, shall we say, satisfactory, yes?

- A Clockwork Orange Quotes

Alex: The Durango ’95 purred away a real horrowshow. A nice warm vibraty feeling all through your guttiwuts!

- A Clockwork Orange Quotes

P.R. Deltoid: I’ve just come from the hospital; your victim has died.
Alex: You try to frighten me. Admit so, sir. This is some new form of torture. Say it, Brother Sir.
P.R. Deltoid: It’ll be your own torture. I hope to God it’ll torture you to madness.

- A Clockwork Orange Quotes

Alex: You know what you can do with that watch? Stick it up your arse!

Alex: I was cured, all right!

Chief Guard Barnes: Are you able to see the white line painted on the floor directly behind you, Six-Double-Five-Three-Two-One?
Alex: Yes, sir.
Chief Guard Barnes: Then your toes belong on the *other* side of it!

- A Clockwork Orange Quotes

[Staring at Alex's penis]
Chief Guard Barnes: Are you now, or have you ever been a homosexual?

- A Clockwork Orange Quotes

Prison Chaplain: What’s it going to be, eh? Is it going to be in and out of institutions like this? Well, more in and out for most of ya! Or are you going to attend to the Divine Word and realise the punishments that await unrepentant sinners in the next world as well as this? A lot of idiots you are, selling your own birthright for a saucer of cold porridge! The thrill of theft! Of violence! The urge to live easy! Well, I ask you what is it worth when we have undeniable truth – yes! Incontrovertible evidence that Hell exists! I know! I know my friends! I have been informed in visions that there is a place darker than any prison, hotter than any flame of human fire, where souls of unrepentant criminal sinners like yourselves…!
[an inmate belches, prompting the rest to laugh]
Prison Chaplain: Don’t you laugh, damn you! Don’t you laugh! I say like yourselves scream in endless and unendurable agony! Their skin rotting and peeling! A fireball spinning in their screaming guts! I know! Oh yes, I know!
[Another inmate makes a raspberry noise, prompting them to laugh again]

- A Clockwork Orange Quotes

Chief Guard Barnes: Pick that up and put it down properly!

- A Clockwork Orange Quotes

Minister: What crime did you commit?
Alex: The accidental killing of a person, sir.
Chief Guard Barnes: He brutally murdered a woman, sir, in furtherance of theft. Fourteen years, sir!
Minister: Excellent. He’s enterprising, aggressive, outgoing, young, bold, vicious. He’ll do.
Governor: Well, fine, we could still look at C-block…
Minister: No, no, no. That’s enough. He’s perfect. I want his records sent to me. This vicious young hoodlum will be transformed out of all recognition.
Alex: Thank you very much for this chance, sir.
Minister: Let’s hope you make the most of it, my boy.

- A Clockwork Orange Quotes

Alex: No. No! NO! Stop it! Stop it, please! I beg you! This is sin! This is sin! This is sin! It’s a sin, it’s a sin, it’s a sin!
Dr. Brodsky: Sin? What’s all this about sin?
Alex: That! Using Ludwig van like that! He did no harm to anyone. Beethoven just wrote music!
Dr. Branom: Are you referring to the background score?
Alex: Yes.
Dr. Branom: You’ve heard Beethoven before?
Alex: Yes!
Dr. Brodsky: So, you’re keen on music?
Alex: YES!
Dr. Brodsky: Can’t be helped. Here’s the punishment element perhaps.

- A Clockwork Orange Quotes

Alex: There was nothing I hated more than to see a filthy old drunkie, a-howling away at the filthy songs of his fathers and going blurp blurp in between as if it were a filthy old orchestra in his stinking rotten guts. I could never stand to see anyone like that, especially when they were old like this one was.

- A Clockwork Orange Quotes

Alex: It had been a wonderful evening and what I needed now, to give it the perfect ending, was a little of the Ludwig Van.

- A Clockwork Orange Quotes

[Listening to Beethoven's Ninth Symphony]

- A Clockwork Orange Quotes

Alex: Naughty, naughty, naughty! You filthy old soomka!

- A Clockwork Orange Quotes

[Alex has the tramp pinned down]
Tramp: Go on, do me in you bastard cowards! I don’t want to live anyway,not in a stinking world like this one!
Alex: Oh? And what’s so stinking about it?

- A Clockwork Orange Quotes

Prison Chaplain: Choice! The boy has not a real choice, has he? Self-interest, the fear of physical pain drove him to that grotesque act of self-abasement. The insincerity was clear to be seen. He ceases to be a wrongdoer. He ceases also to be a creature capable of moral choice.
Minister: Padre, there are subtleties! We are not concerned with motives, with the higher ethics. We are concerned only with cutting down crime and with relieving the ghastly congestion in our prisons. He will be your true Christian, ready to turn the other cheek, ready to be crucified rather than crucify, sick to the heart at the thought of killing a fly. Reclamation! Joy before the angels of God! The point is that it works.

- A Clockwork Orange Quotes

Alex: It’s funny how the colors of the real world only seem really real when you viddy them on the screen.

- A Clockwork Orange Quotes

“There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie and Dim. And we sat in the Korova Milkbar, trying to make up our razudoks what to do with the evening.”–Alex (Malcolm McDowell), the “humble narrator”

Alex: Welly, welly, welly, welly, welly, welly, well. To what do I owe the extreme pleasure of this surprising visit?

- A Clockwork Orange Quotes

Minister: As I was saying, Alex, you can be instrumental in changing the public verdict. Do you understand, Alex? Have I made myself clear?
Alex: As an unmuddied lake, Fred. As clear as an azure sky of deepest summer. You can rely on me, Fred.

- A Clockwork Orange Quotes

Alex: Initiative comes to thems that wait.

- A Clockwork Orange Quotes

Minister: You seem to have a whole ward to yourself, my boy.
Alex: Yes, sir, and a very lovely place it is too, sir, when I wake up in the middle of the night with my pain.
Minister: Yes… well, good to see you on the mend!

- A Clockwork Orange Quotes

Minister: Public opinion has a way of changing.

- A Clockwork Orange Quotes

Minister: Punishment means nothing to them, you can see that. They enjoy their so-called punishment.
Alex: You’re absolutely right, sir.

- A Clockwork Orange Quotes

Alex: You needn’t take it any further, sir. You’ve proved to me that all this ultraviolence and killing is wrong, wrong, and terribly wrong. I’ve learned me lesson, sir. I’ve seen now what I’ve never seen before. I’m cured! Praise god!
Dr. Brodsky: You’re not cured yet, boy.

- A Clockwork Orange Quotes

Minister: Oh, yes. I understand you’re fond of music. I have arranged a little surprise for you.
Alex: Surprise?
Minister: One that I hope that you will like. As a um… how shall we put it? As a symbol of our new understanding. An understanding between two friends.

- A Clockwork Orange Quotes

Alex: So I waited and, O my brothers, I got a lot better munching away at eggiwegs, and lomticks of toast and lovely steakiwegs and then, one day, they said I was going to have a very special visitor.
[the Minister enters]
Minister: Good evening, my boy.

John Lennon Quotes

God is a concept by which we measure our pain.
John Lennon Quotes

Guilt for being rich, and guilt thinking that perhaps love and peace isn’t enough and you have to go and get shot or something.
John Lennon Quotes

He didn’t come out of my belly, but my God, I’ve made his bones, because I’ve attended to every meal, and how he sleeps, and the fact that he swims like a fish because I took him to the ocean. I’m so proud of all those things. But he is my biggest pride.
John Lennon Quotes

I believe in everything until it’s disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it’s in your mind. Who’s to say that dreams and nightmares aren’t as real as the here and now?
John Lennon Quotes

I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It’s just that the translations have gone wrong.
John Lennon Quotes

I don’t believe in killing whatever the reason!
John Lennon Quotes

I don’t know which will go first – rock ‘n’ roll or Christianity.
John Lennon Quotes

I’m not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything. I’ve always been a freak. So I’ve been a freak all my life and I have to live with that, you know. I’m one of those people.
John Lennon Quotes

A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.
John Lennon Quotes

All we are saying is give peace a chance.
John Lennon Quotes

All you need is love.
John Lennon Quotes

As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot.
John Lennon Quotes

Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn’t argue with that; I’m right and I will be proved right. We’re more popular than Jesus now; I don’t know which will go first – rock and roll or Christianity.
John Lennon Quotes

Everybody loves you when you’re six foot in the ground.
John Lennon Quotes

Everything is clearer when you’re in love.
John Lennon Quotes

Part of me suspects that I’m a loser, and the other part of me thinks I’m God Almighty.
John Lennon Quotes

Possession isn’t nine-tenths of the law. It’s nine-tenths of the problem.
John Lennon Quotes

Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.
John Lennon Quotes

Rituals are important. Nowadays it’s hip not to be married. I’m not interested in being hip.
John Lennon Quotes

Surrealism had a great effect on me because then I realised that the imagery in my mind wasn’t insanity. Surrealism to me is reality.
John Lennon Quotes

The basic thing nobody asks is why do people take drugs of any sort? Why do we have these accessories to normal living to live? I mean, is there something wrong with society that’s making us so pressurized, that we cannot live without guarding ourselves against it?
John Lennon Quotes

The cross of the Legion of Honor has been conferred on me. However, few escape that distinction.
John Lennon Quotes

The more I see the less I know for sure.
John Lennon Quotes

The postman wants an autograph. The cab driver wants a picture. The waitress wants a handshake. Everyone wants a piece of you.
John Lennon Quotes

The thing the sixties did was to show us the possibilities and the responsibility that we all had. It wasn’t the answer. It just gave us a glimpse of the possibility.
John Lennon Quotes

Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It’s them twisting it that ruins it for me.
John Lennon Quotes

Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.
John Lennon Quotes

Love is the answer, and you know that for sure; Love is a flower, you’ve got to let it grow.
John Lennon Quotes

Love is the flower you’ve got to let grow.
John Lennon Quotes

Music is everybody’s possession. It’s only publishers who think that people own it.
John Lennon Quotes

My role in society, or any artist’s or poet’s role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.
John Lennon Quotes

Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we’re being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I’m liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That’s what’s insane about it.
John Lennon Quotes

If being an egomaniac means I believe in what I do and in my art or music, then in that respect you can call me that… I believe in what I do, and I’ll say it.
John Lennon Quotes

If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there’d be peace.
John Lennon Quotes

If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliche that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that’s his problem. Love and peace are eternal.
John Lennon Quotes

If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it ‘Chuck Berry’.
John Lennon Quotes

Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us, and the world will be as one.
John Lennon Quotes

It doesn’t matter how long my hair is or what colour my skin is or whether I’m a woman or a man.
John Lennon Quotes

It was like being in the eye of a hurricane. You’d wake up in a concert and think, Wow, how did I get here?
John Lennon Quotes

We’ve got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can’t just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it’s going to get on by itself. You’ve got to keep watering it. You’ve got to really look after it and nurture it.
John Lennon Quotes

When you’re drowning, you don’t say ‘I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,’ you just scream.
John Lennon Quotes

Will the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands? And the rest of you, if you’ll just rattle your jewelry.
John Lennon Quotes

Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.
John Lennon Quotes

You don’t need anybody to tell you who you are or what you are. You are what you are!
John Lennon Quotes

You either get tired fighting for peace, or you die.
John Lennon Quotes

There’s nothing you can know that isn’t known.
John Lennon Quotes

Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.
John Lennon Quotes

We were all on this ship in the sixties, our generation, a ship going to discover the New World. And the Beatles were in the crow’s nest of that ship.
John Lennon Quotes

We’re more popular than Jesus now; I don’t know which will go first, rock ‘n’ roll or Christianity.
John Lennon Quotes

You have to be a bastard to make it, and that’s a fact. And the Beatles are the biggest bastards on earth.
John Lennon Quotes

You’re just left with yourself all the time, whatever you do anyway. You’ve got to get down to your own God in your own temple. It’s all down to you, mate.
