Reply to Call of Duty: Black Ops - Fastest selling game of all time in PC Gaming Sins Forums

I say "meh" to Black Ops. By all acounts it is a good game, and it does look pretty decent, but I don't really care about it much. MW2 was entertaining; the campaign was short and kind of non-sensical but still fun, MP was good, and the "challenge missions" (I can't think of the name right now) were also pretty fun. But I couldn't get into it like some people do. It was good in week or two long bursts, but then it got repetitive. I would expect Black Ops to be similar for me; fun

One of those subatomic particles, I think it is a quark, has been occasionally evidenced and appears to travel at or above the speed of light. It then disappears, absorbed it appears as energy by another subatomic particle. As an atom is smashed much of the matter is converted to energy,
