“Now we have a problem in making our power credible, and Vietnam is the place.”

Back in the suck

Tomorrow marks a very special day for us here at Nerd Appropriate.  A day when us nerds march waste deep through the swamps of ‘Nam to rid the world of communists!   At some point tomorrow both PSN and XBL will Make Battlefield Bad Company 2: Vietnam available for download.  Why are we excited?  Well a few of us thought that Bad Company 2 with its updated Frostbite engine was actually a better game than CODBLOPS.  We always like rooting for the underdog.
