Sometimes, you wish these things were fake.

That’s how I felt, when I watched the new Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Multiplayer Reveal video, which was released by Infinity Ward today. Here, watch this thing:

See what I mean? Now watch this trailer:

See the difference? One looks like it took some time and effort the produce, while the other looks like it was made by a 12 year old with too much free time on their hands. What a travesty. The MW3 trailer has way too many slow mo, “Zach Snyder” moments. You saw the movie “300″ right? Yeah. That. The trailer also follows various soldiers around the map using the worst 3rd person angles one could think of. They tried to show and feature the new customization options and the new killstreaks, but it failed. It failed miserably.

This video was supposed to get me excited about MW3, but instead, it’s making me think about cancelling my pre-order. That’s pretty sad.

Update 09/05/2011 – Activision has released a MUCH BETTER trailer called “Tango Down”. Check it out:

I’ll make this brief. I was excited when Google’s Picasa was announced for Mac since I was eager to try it with my photos. Upon installing it yesterday, I noticed something very disturbing:

On initial launch of Picasa, it forces you to scan your computer for images. It gives you two choices: 1. Scan your entire computer 2. Scan specific folders such as Documents, Pictures, and Desktop (which they choose, not you)

There is no opt-out. You either scan or you force quit the program. I don’t like this. In fact, I hate it. I don’t want Picasa to know or even care about ALL of the photos on my computer. I’d like to pick and choose which it can use. I don’t like being forced to scan my computer for anything. It bothers me for several reasons that I won’t go into here.

I’m uninstalling Picasa and I don’t think I’ll run it again. iPhoto it is.
