I have just been playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for the Xbox 360 and I have encountered a new glitch. There is a now a way to do a series of things to make it so that if you host a private game, people searching for a normal game will join your game. The host can then change the settings to unlimited kills and an unlimited time limit, the host can then start the game and there you have it. But the annoyance of this is that it can be made so that you gain XP and it affects your K/D ratio.
I joined one earlier and some guy was on 150 odd kills and a few deaths. What the hell! A new way to boost for all those people who are sad enough to boost? I decided to tweet @fourzerotwo and explain the problem, I hope it will be fixed soon, because this glitch is really annoying.

On thursday evening in a match of domination, I got a 25 kill streak, therefore, a nuke on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for Xbox 360. Me being the idiot I am, instantly used the nuke, not knowing that half the game time remained and I could have got my kill streak above 28, which is what it is currently. Anyway, nukes are damn hard to get, I was so close to dieing on 23 kills. After my chopper gunner had finished it’s job, I was on a 23 kill streak. I needed two more kills on foot to get the nuke. I rushed their base, but disaster, a sniper was looking down upon me. I was hit and on red health. I took cover by going prone, and I recovered. I snuck up behind the sniper and slashed him/her with my knife (twice, infact). I then ran to the enemies spawn point, worrying that I would be killed. A new person had spawned, I took my chance and killed him/her. I had the nuke. Used the nuke, got three extra kills with the nuke and was left on a 28 kill streak, which was my existing kill streak. What a joke!
So yeah, when using nukes on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, wait until you die, because you may get a higher kill streak!

In my opinion, the Internet is a wonderful place. But how does it work? The Internet uses a complex (but quite old) infrastructure to deliver the content you want, when you request it. Me and my partner in crime, Jake, were discussing how the Internet works, so let me explain how I think it works, without any education (on the topic).
- You request the page, lets say rinse.fm
- The request gets sent along your villages’ copper wire to the nearest exchange
- The request arrives at your nearest internet exchange (mine is about 2 miles away)
- The exchange sends the request to a big dish
- The big dish beams the request (with many others) to a geo-orbital satellite
- The satellite beams it down to where it needs to go (somewhere else in UK or maybe US)
- Request gets sent from dish to the exchange of the server you requested content from (rinse.fm)
- Server accepts and sends what you need (the homepage of rinse.fm
- Request is beamed, etc all the way back to your home.
Yey, all written by me. Correct me if I am wrong, this is an interesting subject.

I’m currently downloading some new albums from the Rinse.FM (http://www.rinse.fm/) series. This reminds me that I should put up some links to some of my favourite dubstep on a post. Anyway, I listen to alot of music, mostly dubstep but I also listen to drum n’ bass and also old skool hip-hop. So here are my suggestions for dubstep..
Skream, Caspa, Rusko, Tes La Rok, Benga and Coki are a few of my favourite dubstep artists. I also listen to the Rinse.FM podcast, which you can get on iTunes or online. I recommend the Rinse.fm series of albums, they have guest DJ’s doing sets on dubstep, house and much more. I hope you enjoy the music and enjoy your day. http://rinse.fm

Today I have been listening to the RINSE.fm series of albums. I have to admit, they are really good. I’ve listened to 7 of the 10 RINSE albums that are out and I am very impressed. Some are of the Grime genre, some of Dubstep and it even has some electronica, which I’m not a real fan of, but have to admit, it’s not bad to listen to. The RINSE series features guest DJ’s coming into the studio and mixing up some of their best work. Albums feature work from Skream, Skepta and Plastician, three of the ten big names that they have signed up. So anyway, I suggest that you go and download the whole series today from http://rinse.fm.

This morning I have been updating my blog both visually and feature-wise. My goal is to achieve a blog that offers ease of use and also allows users to share my blog content on various social networking sites. Here are the changes that have recently been implemented:
- Logo “image” added (click-able to return to homepage).
- Categories have been added to allow my reviews and poems to live under the appropriate category.
- Categories are now easily accessible through the navigation bar, this was earlier not possible.
- Comments have been enabled for non-registered users (all spam is automatically deleted).
- Pages now allow users to share and forward the content to Facebook via the “F share” button.
I hope these changes both benefit myself and you, the reader. Thank you.

The Cinema Krew went to see Paranormal Activity today and afterwards we decided to eat at Mc Donalds. I have to say the highlight of the day was my festive burger from Mc Donalds, it was gorgeous. The film on the otherhand wasn’t as good..
The genre of the film being classed as a “horror” was a disgrace in my opinion. The film wasn’t scary, but what I can only describe as “jumpy”. First of all, the style of film being “camera in hand” was stolen from Cloverfield. This style kind of worked, but got a bit stupid in the end. The film is well explained of what’s going on but the actual scenes were stupid, unbeleiveable and poorly made. The low budget of the film could easily be seen while watching the film. There are no really scary bits, but you should jump during this film. Scary bits to note are a female screaming, doors slamming, females being dragged (really!) and also loud bangs. The ending was a let down and was also obvious. Reading the plot beforehand and also watching the trailer kind of spoils all of the action, you are expecting everything.
In conclusion if you were scared by this film then you are a pussy. I cannot see why this film has received so much praise when it is pooly made and has cheap (or no) special effects. Overall, the Cinema Krew give the film Paranormal Activity a rating of 4/10.
Thank you for reading the review!
