Call Of Duty 4 : Modern Warfare

YES! After nearly 36 hours of non-stop torrent-ing, I FINALLY HAVE.....

CALL OF DUTY 4 : MODERN WARFARE!

Seriously, its pretty modern.

Call Of Duty : Finest Hour for the Xbox featured World War II, where the Axis and Allies were at war. No japs though. Just pure german soldiers.

Call Of Duty 4 : Modern Warfare, features Counter-Terrorism. We have upgrades Carbines, or M16s. We have Ak-47s with grenadiers. Shotguns with scopes? Dragonuv sniper rifles. Spectre Gunships. Helicopters. Flashbangs. Frag grenades. Remote-Controlled C4s. And perhaps the scenery of a nuclear missile.

Anyway, I woke up at 12:43 pm just to find out that the program was finally downloaded. Then i spent like 1 hour trying to find a UIF extractor for it. Bleddy guy makes my life difficult by not putting it in WinRAR format. Then I started rebuilding the whole file.

Just in case you guys don't know what is rebuilding. Rebuilding doesn't mean re-build something like a building. But in programming terms, it means to debug a program solution.

Anyway, the dang rebuilding would take 35 mins as stated in the readme file. So I went to CGH with my Dad. Waiting to see the doc for nearly 1 hour plus. And the best part, CGH always shows Channel NewsAsia on the TV. Guess what, they were showing about the country Abu Dhabi. It was a 4:33pm show till 5pm. And one thing I need to comment on. No pun intended though.

The commercial about Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank. They basically replayed that commercial like 5-6 times within that 30 mins.

Eventually, I got bored of it and for once, held LianHe ZaoBao and started reading it.

And Jet Li's helping out in the Sichuan Earthquake.

Then I finally reached home at around 6 pm plus there. And found out my lappy auto-shutdowned due to the high processing speed of rebuilding while I was out.

I had to re-extract the whole folder, then rebuild the whole program again, which wasted another 1 hour of my life.

Finally, when I could get it to work, my lappy auto-shutdowned again due to, yet again, the high processing speed from the high quality graphics of the game.

Oh wait, did I mention it auto-shutdowned like 5 to 6 times while I was playing it?

Until, I lowered the processing speed to, literally, Low. Then my lappy listened to me.

After playing like for 4 hours, my brain's full of SAS, U.S. Marines and terrorists.

Not to mention the amount of times I died while trying to return a grenade back to the enemy when the grenade exploded in my hand. Pfft.

And I'm still thinking of what to do on Friday...
