A copy of Modern Warfare 3, sold at Kmart a week before its actual release date.

If you didn’t get your hands on one of the accidentally released early copies of Modern Warfare 3 that were sold at Kmart, then you’re going to have to wait a little while longer to start playing the latest game in Infinity Ward’s massively popular shooter.  However, there’s still a chance to get an early look at MW3, assuming you’re located near one of America’s 2700 Walmart stores.  Walmart is hosting a Modern Warfare 3 release party, complete with MW3 tournaments.  The top prize, unsurprisingly, is a free copy of Modern Warfare 3, so brush up on your killing skills while you have time.

Walmart’s MW3 tournaments will be taking place on November 7, beginning at 8 PM and running until midnight (when the game goes on sale for everyone who didn’t win a copy).  I suggest you hop into your Call of Duty Jeep and get to your local Walmart a bit early, as these tournaments should prove to be very popular.  After all, Modern Warfare 2 broke sales records for Activision, and I’d imagine MW3 will also be pretty successful.

Here’s a complete list of the 2700 Walmart stores hosting Modern Warfare 3 release parties (PDF).  If you’re lucky and got an early copy of MW3 from Kmart, then feel free to play it now; Activision has given the okay for the mistakenly-sold copies to go live early.  Good luck with your eBay hunting!

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
