Mafia/Mobs/Gangsters on screen
I'm more into the London gangster films like Lock, Stock and Two smoking barrels/Snatch, that kind of thing. Scarface was good though.

Cell phones in school
Heh, i had a guy in one of my lectures, as soon as the lecturer stood up about to start, this epic song started on someones phone in their bad. Took them like a minute to dig it out and turn it off. [hide]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEVUKofgNrU[/hide]

Favorite thing about the opposite sex?
Someone who has a similar sense of humour to me, definately. Theres a girl who comes out drinking with my "regular" group occasionally. I've known her for years but never really had a proper conversation/ spent a decent amount of time with her until she started coming out with us. She gets on with everyone and shes cool to talk to but when she starts getting drunker she becomes more like a "guy" kinda, downing pints and stuff like that. Not the most lady-like or attractive thing seeing a girl tan a dirty pint then proceed to throw up outside.

What did you dream about last night?
Had a weird dream last night, i've either had it before or it's based on a film or a game i've watched or played but can't remember. Basically me and two old friends from school are out in the country, walking in the hills. For some reason we're all armed to the teeth with assault rifles and stuff and as we walk along these 3 guys dressed in different coloured suits with guns come up to us, telling us not to shoot as they need our help. They said they're Russian and they need us to help them stop some jewel carrying train to avert a war between Russia and Europe (lol). We walk with the men along the base of a hill and gunshots ring out, we all dive behind a wall and see tanks and infantry pouring over opposite ends of the hill, shooting at each other. We all run off and jump in this train. It's all like wood panelled and there are loads of "exhibits", kind of like a museum, on either side of the carriage. We all walk down until we come to a door that says "Jewel Carriage" (Im pretty sure i lol'd at this point in my dream) and one of the Russians picks the lock and we go in. As we step forward i hear the russian guy whisper kill them now to the other guy and i run in front, yelling traitor and shoot the place up. We take their guns, one of my friends puts on one of the russian suits and we run off with the jewels. Best dream i've had in a while.

PICK ME A CAR!
Insurance is a [bleep] in the UK. Buying the car is the cheap part lol. New drivers usually pay through the nose for basic cover.

What is bad music?
"Bad" music for me is stuff that's overhyped, given too much undeserved (in my opinion) attention. Also, stuff released on programs such as the X-factor and American idol really annoy me.

Is there a better semi-automatic rifle? I'm pretty sure there is another one unlocked later but whether its better or not, i've no idea. I'm sticking to my bolt actions haha. I'm pretty sure you can see the stats for the rifles before you unlock them as well.

PICK ME A CAR!
I learned to drive in a Clio, don't think i'd buy one though. Had a Peugeot 106 for a year with no major problems, got me where i needed to go and what not but my parents had another Peugeot (306 i think) which just caused problem after problem and a few folks i know have had bother with their 206's, so i wouldn't recommend a Peugeot. Basically got told to steer (lol) away from French cars in general (Citroen, Peugeot, Renault) and go for a Japanese manufacturer but i don't know how credible that idea really is. I love VW Golf's (GTi/R32 <3:) so thats what i'd pick if i had the money without a doubt. The Suziki swift sport looks pretty cool and i've not really heard any bad things about the quality or whatever so that might be one to consider. Friend just got a new Ford Fiesta which he says is pretty good, theres always the sporty ST version as well. Theres quite a large choice in the UK of smaller cars, hatchbacks and the like. All depends what you're after, just a regular run-around or something kinda sporty? Out of the ones you suggested, i'd go with the Suzuki.

Yeah the second sniper you unlock is semi-automatic but it doesn't do as much damage in one hit and the telescopic sight isn't as good (in my opinion).

Won't be able to play this for a couple of weeks which sucks. :thumbdown: Had another killer game on Atacama. Had a kick [wagon] squad who actually worked as a team which is unusual in a game full of randoms. Basically there was us and an enemy squad who seemed to be working together going against each other. I always went forward to a sniping spot with a view towards the enemy and spotted/killed targets for our squad who moved forward, with me keeping an eye on them. This worked amazing against the randoms on the other team but we got our arse handed to us the first time we came across the actual squad working together. They had 2 recon guys who held an area for the other 2 to spawn in. I had an epic sniper duel against them both. One was pretty rubbish, standing in the open in plain sight but the other was pretty good. I killed the one standing up and hit the other one at like the same instant he hit me. Luckily i could just make out the barrel he was using for cover with the mortar binoculars so i called in a strike with those but i saw him running to a different position just before it fell. We fired a couple more rounds just missing each other when i moved to an open segment of wall and headshotted him. Felt good man. :thumbup:

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
:thumbdown: As much as i enjoy Cod, 1200 points for some new maps, with two i've played hundreds of times before is a complete rip. Gonna stick with BC2 for now definately.

How has racism effected you?
Can't say i've had much experience with racism really. Grew up in an area that wasn't particularly diverse racially. In my old job however, there were three dudes from Ghana who helped us on the back shift. I, and most of the shift got on good with them as they were funny as hell but there was one guy who made racist jokes behind their back. The store manager had a talk with him and we never seen him again.

Creepy Thread
I dunno. Some of the theories folks from /x/ put forward were pretty solid that supported it was still being used. Seemingly loads of governments have a frequency similar to UVB-76 ("number stations"), which broadcast "nonsense" or static. I remember someone thinking it might be like a dead mans switch to indicate that some bad [wagon] piece of military hardware is still operational and when the beeping stops...well, something bad might happen. It's all just speculation but makes for some interesting reading. I think 4chanarchive has a copy of a number station thread. Don't think it's the recent one i read however.

My favourite map so far is Atacama. There's another one, like tropical jungle with jet skis thats pretty good as well. Had a funny game on Atacama earlier. I was sniping with the first bolt action (M24?) rifle and saw two "bumps" appear above the edge of part of the ship. Two shots, two headshots. I moved into a new spot where i could still see the area where i killed them, incase they come back to the same spot. Sure enough, like 30 seconds later their heads appear above the ship again. Called in a mortar strike which killed one but the other didn't move so took him down with another headshot. They both came back again, i killed them again and moved into their spot as our team was advancing. Spotted someone running into a building and appearing at a window so i took him down then someone appeared instantly at the next window along. Dunno what their plan was but two people always sniping at the same spot doesn't sound like a good one to me. They got me like 12 of my 20 kills that game, im not complaining haha.

Onlines bloody good. Played my first online games today and i love the sniper/recon class. Pretty satisfying getting a headshot from the other end of the map.

Good ol' Days as a Kid
Red Rover, Dodgeball and Manhunt was what we used to play the most. Manhunt was my favourite. Basically just a massive game of hide and seek. Literally 20-30 kids from my street and round about would spent the whole day playing it. Wish i was that age again.

Creepy Thread
I love /x/ and creepypasta. I remember reading a massive thread about this Russian radio frequency that hasn't stopped beeping in decades. Every so often the beeping would stop to be replaced by very short broadcasts which no-one knew what they meant. The whole thread was just speculation but i really liked it. Something about it gave me shivers. The wikipedia link for the radio frequency: UVB-76. I know it's not strictly creepypasta but it was on /x/.

Tried playing online again today but the "searching for games" box popped up and disappeared and nothing happened. Are there server problems or am i just being [developmentally delayed]ed and doing something wrong?

Got this today, haven't had a chance to play online yet as the xbox servers are down for maintenance. Played a fair bit of the campaign, thought it was alright. Better than the first BC campaign at any rate.

Wayne's gone, who will take over mainstream rap?
Haha :thumbup: I'm not a massive rap/hip hop fan but Nas, and to a certain extent, Kanye West are the only two i'd agree with on that list.
