The Bossman

Stimulation - Method Man feat Blue Raspberry, great song.

My list is bollocks, it has songs I haven't played for years near the top. It's worth noting, it's near impossible for me to pin down my favourite songs because I have too many, so there's more than 1 song in each position. 1. These aren't in order of my favourite songs, they're just numbers in a list. I like TV themes, so Way Down In The Hole is way up there for me. There's 5 versions of it from the TV show The Wire, so I like all of those. 2. I didn't know how much I liked the Gipsy Kings. I recently imported their album into iTunes, and it's fantastic. I'd say 'Amor, Amor, Amor' is their best song - 3. Neighbourhood #4 (Kettles) by Arcade Fire, I don't feel I need to explain that choice, it chose itself. 4. What Up Gangsta, by 50 Cent, when he was good. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmipU3R2RgQ 5. The ENTIRE GTA Vice City album, it's pure perfection. 6. Don't Stop Believin' by Journey - 7. The entire Hitman 2 soundtrack. 8. Slipknot, and their best song is probably The Heretic Anthem, heard on a few COD4 no scope videos I think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWwlRx9my0Q 9. Rock With You, by Michael Jackson, it sounds like a current pop song, fantastic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQ9GWsaxspA 10. I'm split about whether to include a song from Terminator 2, or Metal Gear Solid 2. So, I'll include them both. The T2 song is when the T-1000 is chasing Arnie and the rest out of the hospital, through the car park and outside, and it's full of menace - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2X3oLkC72uU I've listened to that song, probably 2000 times now. The other song, is the theme for MGS2, probably the best MGS theme, although MGS4 had a great soundtrack, which I also have - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECjDfQd8QVc&feature=related. Long live Snake.

I think the closest I came was 24 kills, on Derail, but we won the match before I could get the Nuke. I'm pretty good on that level, I went 20 kills in a row earlier before getting killed whilst controlling the Chopper Gunner. I will prestige 5 times because I think it's the best looking badge in the game. However, if my connection continues to give me trouble and doesn't even itself out, then I'll stick on this prestige for a while. The connection works fine for about half an hour then becomes laggy, so I check my status and it has hundreds of errors on the connection. It's just unacceptable, especially when yesterday I played it for nearly 4 hours in a row with breaks and I only had 4 errors.

I had a similar score on Scrapyard when I was level 70, I used the AK and just obliterated everyone. I got over 40 kills 2 matches in a row with it, first on Scrapyard then on Karachi. It's a genuine reason for me to not prestige, that gun, I just perform amazingly with it. I'm currently halfway through prestige 2, and my K/D is changing between 1.97 and 1.98, which I'm happy with, it could well stay like that for the rest of the time I play MW2. I have roughly 14,000 kills and 7,000 deaths which is great. My current Killstreaks are Harrier for 7 kills, Chopper Gunner for 11 and Nuke at 25. I prefer to use Predator at 5, Pave Low at 9 and Chopper Gunner at 11, though. The Nuke is still a long way away for me.

My K/D is now under 2, although I'm still good at the game. I played a match with someone from a forum, in a public team deathmatch and I got the Chopper Gunner 2 games in a row. It's just the respawning, I spawn right near where the enemies are and then die again, it's frustrating and needs to be patched. I'm tending to use the M16 more, with a silencer and red dot sight and either stopping power or cold blooded as the 2nd perk, and usually ninja pro as the 3rd perk. The Famas is excellent, too, you don't need stopping power with that so I use that for my stealth class, along with the TAR which is probably more powerful than the AK. I'm using the n00b twin shotguns, but I don't care, I use them sparingly. I both love and hate them, I love getting kills with them because they look great, but getting killed by them is annoying so I'm split. I'm nearly at level 69 on this prestige, then I'll be on prestige 2, and yet some of my friends are prestige 5. They're good though, a few of them are in the top 10,000 ranking for score.

Plus there's all the obvious health implications, and the strain on your eyes. The OPM mag have done 2 challenges like this, their most recent was 24 hours on MW2, sort of, in between failed connections, and they always said that they were mad for doing it.

It's my 2nd from last hand-in for work on Thursday and Friday, and it feels weird. I only have 1 more to go before Uni is over and I'll need to get a job. I'll start planning for that within the next month or so. On a lighter note, I've got quoted in the latest PLAY mag again. It seems to be a regular occurance these days: http://www.play-mag.co.uk/ I get quoted as the bossman because that's my name on their forums.

You want to ruin that computer, then, to get a new one or something?

I think it's great, because the cheaters who boosted with the riot shields and that have to do it the right way, and of course I'm glad it isn't on PS3 as well.

Additionally, the first console I played was probably the SNES at my cousins, then he got a MegaDrive, and then I started off owning a Game Boy, then working from there.

Fuck sake, I thought MS had eradicated that problem. It's still putting me off getting one, if that happens that quickly. Send it back for a replacement, I wouldn't bother trying any hot towels or anything like that, best to make sure you get a replacement.

Lovely stuff, I'm envious.

Is it weird at Xmas, when it's as hot as that? I can't imagine celebrating Christams with the sun out, maybe even having a barbeque. A few of my relatives did in December, they emigrated there a few years back.

It's an imaginary poll anyway. Judging by the votes and how good both films are, I think it's a straight choice between The Dark Knight and Gladiator. TDK was a great performance by Heath Ledger as The Joker, but Gladiator was one of the best epic films of the decade, hard to choose.

I thought this had something to do with ice, obviously not. The coldest it's been in England so far was -22 degrees at one point, but not where I live thankfully. It's mostly been -2 or -3, no more than that. This snow just isn't melting, BTW, been here quite a few days now.

Anyway. I uploaded my first COD4 video online yesterday on Vimeo, it doesn't look bad. It was only a handheld camera, it's not a capture card or anything. It's probably a year old now, when I was 8th prestige. http://www.vimeo.com/8640299 2000 posts now as well, taken a long time.

Technically, it doesn't spoil anything. We're just mentioning the Codex Pages which you collect for new pieces of equipment, etc. Having a map of the world doesn't ruin anything either.

So my one vote won the imaginary poll?

AC2 is just so much fun. I didn't buy the original and I don't want to, but this game is fantastic to play. I finished the game yesterday, and won't reveal anything, but as you've probably heard, like the original, this ending is also WTF!!11. BTW, I probably know there was an easy solution, but I must have spent over 45 minutes on that piece of shit Codex Wall thing near the end. I got there eventually after much fumbling around. The music is also inspired, by Jesper Kyd.

It's like GTA, as soon as the latest one is released, work starts, or has already started, on the follow-up. Same with COD as well. It's still a way away, at least 5 years or more, for a new PS. A new 360 might come out within 3 years, a new Wii about the same.
