I have to ask though, why was your top button buttoned when you weren't wearing a tie? It's my understanding that doing so is a fashion no-no (also, IMO, it just plain looks silly).

I agree. Brian maybe pro when it comes to the violence of art and video games in education but a n00b when it comes to fashion.
So much happier with this video... however I am concerned... It seems we are completely avoiding one very important topic: Ping Pong. Is ping pong too violent?
Great job on this one. It was nice to see real questions, rather than loaded "Have you stopped beating your wife?" types like you got on Fox.
As to the topic addressed, I think there are really two draws to games like this (and by games like this, I mean high-quality, high production-value, well thought-out games like MW(n), the Battlefield series, etc): 1. It's cathartic. Like you said in the interview; there's so much going on in the world, it gives people a chance to experience (however limited) some of it. 2. People appreciate well-produced art. Games like this work very hard to give an immersive, realistic, and downright cinematic experience.
I hope other news organizations start realizing that people like you (and this community) have opinions worth hearing. Plus it's great to be able to say "I know that guy".
Nice one dude! I would've completely clammed up and probably wouldn't be able to talk very well eg stumbling over my own words and junk. Plus my Canadian Accent would've reared its head.
Really good. This is definitely something I could see you doing more of fella!

How in the hell did so many people think Al Jazeera was not a fantastic media network? It's been that way for over a decade and it's praises are sung all over the internet. It's one of the least-biased, has great international coverage, and reports on things other than the typical "check out this squirrel on a waterski!" fluff.
I would have to put myself in the camp with those who were surprised on how good of an actual news program Al Jazeera English put out there. Definitely alot less biased than most of the US based networks. It was my first time watching Al Jazeera and I was pleasantly surprised.
Think you did really well in that interview mate! I can name a number of people (Myself included) that would've broken into a nervous, speechless sweat just being on tv in the first place.
That said on the topic of the actual game it seems, at least to myself that it hasn't changed since COD4, the story may be worth a rent or something but unless I find something (Or someone can show me something) absolutely ground-breaking in comparison to the other games I don't think CODMW3 will ever appear on my 'to buy' list.

CLEARLY NOT FAIR AND BALANCED
Good job as usual Brian.
Hell yes.

Nicely done.
It will have to be poorly dressed and have a three-mile-stare
You've said it yourself to me that Al Jazeera was a respectable global media network. I now see that to be true. I am impressed.
I was originally planning on picking up MW3 several months after its release date... but maybe...
Is it the name?
yes.

Not just 'Merica.
Don't mess with <strike>Texas</strike> Norway. They'll totally go viking on yer ass.
Now I want to see a version of Yosemite Sam, but donning a stereotypical viking hat instead of his trademark cowboy hat.
Tried to google search for it, but found Spartan Sam instead. Oh well.
That's because it was Elmer Fudd in "What's Opera, Doc?" with his spear and magic helmet:
