MC Hammer already in training for Call of Duty 5 (or maybe not)

The king of the old-school cool, MC Hammer, was in Melbourne this Monday as part of the Xbox Insider Tour (pics and details soon!) and was happy to share his ideas about Twitter and gaming with the people (alongside singing a few classic hits).  My voice recorder did a fine job amongst the pumped up crowd, so I managed to get his words down on tape.

But while his philosophy on Twitter is somewhat inspiring, did you also know he’s got the inside low-down on Call of Duty 5? … Well, sort of:

The message is, get your new update, get on Twitter and connect.  We stay connected on Twitter, and I can travel the world, you can travel the world and we all still connected, because the world is only this big [holds his fingers millimeters apart] now, right? We just a tweet away from each other, and it’s fantastic that people want to connect that way.  In particular all the people who are gaming, while I’m whooping you at Call of Duty or whatnot.  All of you gamers get ready, because I’ve been in training!  Call of Duty 4 … or 5 or whatever it is.  Be ready!

-MC Hammer, ready to cause hammer-time online

And when the Hammer tells you to be ready, you listen.  Now if only we had of found out his gamertag … that’s a multiplayer game of Modern Warfare 2 I wouldn’t want to miss!  I mean the guy essentially invented the idea of side-strafing!

If you’re digging his message, maybe you should add to the 1.6 million people who follow him on Twitter.  I’m sure 1.7 million can’t be that far off.
