Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

After playing this I feel like I need to be in an "Infinity Ward." It's 2024 and I'm playing this 2007 screamer with a coroner's eye.

God, it feels like they just wanted to make a Time Crisis. The running and the shooting... endless pressing forward. And the ethical ugliness of machine-perforating an endless number of Arabs—it's tedious beyond belief. But then... it has its moments. Any time COD4 tries something unique... sneaking in ghillie suits, firing from a night vision helicopter... all the moments that have been endlessly enshrined in the halls of the Mind Palaces of the many Xbox Boys who I might have had a crush on as a teen at the time.

But in 2007 I carried the Complete Works of Emily Dickinson around with me everywhere I went and sat on a log out in the forest to write in my diary nearly every day so how do you think that went?
