  Game Progress

  Hello Guild Amongst Many Elaborate Significant Persons On The - Mountainous Event Morning By Eventual Resolution Site.

  Here I am, a week and a few days later, and not much to say on life.  I'm not sure about what really.  Yesterday I did go to my friends, and us and his sister played some AC3, Halo 4 multi, and the Fuse demo.  Fuse might have gone better if the Roxio were working properly, namely lighting problems and sound issues.  we have the lighting issues mostly fixed, but it would be nice to know how to fix the sound after all this time.  But we'll see...

  Nothing on the job yet, but I'm going to keep trying.  A lot of summer left at least.

  I've decided to write my longest crush a letter, telling her the truth... I know what's gonna happen, and of course I don't want her, having someone right now, but I'm tired, time to let her know.

  My BioShock collection arrived, and I picked it up.  I won't be playing it yet, my backlog is still pretty damn big, I just wanted to be sure I got it before it was too late.  I now have it though, so that's all that counts.

  We're a week and a half away now from the next Xbox being revealed, and a month exactly now until E3.  I'd like to guess what will be with the next Xbox,  but I know it will be more than wrong.  I guess one hope would be some backwards compatibility, but with Microsoft redesigning achievements, I guess that's a no.

  Also, with the slew of game reveals we've been having, are we truly on the course of what I was reading last year at, there will just be no more surprises to come at E3?  Kind of a shame, that's what gets one really excited,  The lights darkening, the screen lights up with the logo of whoever's hosting the meeting, and wondering just exactly what this gameplay footage could be to?  But, that's just me, hoping for good surprises, that's all I'll say.

  That's all there I guess.  Playing list...

  • Assassin's Creed: The Tyranny of King Washington: The Infamy - Completed.  The Betrayal - ~70%
  • Batman: Arkham City - 81%
  • Dishonored - 11%
  • Gears of War - 40%
  • Ninety Nine Nights - 43%

  and BlockBuster game...

  • LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 - Completed

  Where to start... I guess with Lego Harry Potter.  So,  sometime shortly after posting my blog last time, a few days later, I got to 100% in the game.  Had a few tricky spots of missing a character, or couldn't get to a spot, but I eventually figured it out, and beat it.  Also, 1000 GS for it as well, making it my fourth game to do so.  Should I feel a little bad in a way considering three of the games I've earned all the achievements for are Lego games?  Anyway, I'd mention what my new game from BlockBuster is, but apparently they are so shorthanded on the ones on my list that it hasn't shipped yet.  I'm probably going to get an email in the next day telling me to put some available games on my list, but if I do that, how will I ever make my list smaller?

  I finished the first episode of the Tyranny of King Washington DLC for AC3, and am most of the way through the second one.  I'll probably do it this weekend, depending on how full my DVR is.  But yeah, having a lot of fun with the DLC, enjoying every second of it, including the powers.

  Batman, I've made a little progress in the campaign, and did maybe a predator or combat mission.  I don't think I'll be too focused on them though until the campaign is complete, just don't find them as fun as the story of course.  I think I'm a third of the way through campaign plus, so I'm getting there...

  Also, it doesn't look like it, but I have restarted Dishonored... again, lol.  I haven't played  the game since December, mostly because I was reading all of these different ways you could fail the no kill playthrough, so I was scared to touch it, but I've found someone who professionally wrote an article on what was and what wasn't ok, so I'm going to be following it closely as I progress.  But yeah, I'm making progress in it now, having fun, and hope to complete it soon if I continue to keep at it.

  Ok, that's it, nothing anything great in regular life, but a bit of progress with the video games.  We'll see what happens next week.

  Until next time

  Pa pa.

  I'm Free At Last!!!!

  Hello Guild Amongst Many Elaborate Significant Persons On The - Mountainous Event Morning By Eventual Resolution Site.

  I apologize for a being a little MIA.  This was finals weeks, and wanted to take full advantage of some time to study.  From what I think, I did good, but no way to say 100% until the end of the week.  Sucks I have to wait that long, but, the semester is done at least.  I was going to take a class or two over the summer, but every class I thought of was either full, required a little more driving than I've been doing, or not available over the summer.  Instead, I'll take it off, and put the hardest effort I have ever done to find a job.  Plus, it will be nice, this is the first summer I'm having off since I graduated high school.

  Hmm, what else to mention?  Haven't thrown up, nor had the disgusting burps for a while, so hopefully I'm getting to the right direction. Been going to the gym, will be trying to go more now there are plenty of days off.  Not sure if that's resulted in weightloss yet or not, but maybe it's doing at least something.

  I've bought a couple of things.  I bought a new external hard drive.  I'm getting near on full for my regular hard drive again, so time to get some stuff off it, and onto this hard drive.  I bought a Seagate this time.  I don't know too much about them, but considering all they advertise for products on their site is hard drives, I think their products are trustworthy.  This one can hold up to 3 TB.  I'll be trying it out later this evening.  I also got a new fan for my laptop.  It's pretty nice because there's a case around the fan, so no risk of losing my future children, lol.  I can speed up and slow down the speed,  and haven't had a problem with it shutting down so far, so that's great.

  I also bought the GOTY edition of Red Dead Redemption, and the BioShock Ultimate Rapture Edition.  I had to do site to store for BioShock, and still need a few days until I can pick it up.  Though I'd love to play them, I have others to play that have been around longer, so I should take care of them.  They're just becoming harder to find, so I jumped on them.

  

  Games list:

  • Assassin's Creed: The Tyranny of King Washington: The Infamy - 71%
  • Batman: Arkham City - 76%
  • Dishonored - 11%
  • Gears of War - 40%
  • Ninety Nine Nights - 43%

  and BlockBuster game...

  • LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 - 80%

  Didn't play any other games except for Lego Harry Potter.  And even then, I haven't played it in about a week.  Pretty close to finishing it though, so maybe by the weekend, I'll be sending it back, and getting my next game.  What that next game will be?  As usual, I couldn't tell you even if I tried. Except for looking for a job (and hopefully obtaining one), I can picture a lot of video gaming over the next few months, some major time to relax.  See all of those games up in my games list?  I'm hoping to replace every single one of those by the end of the summer.  We'll see, I've made bad promises before, lol.

  Wish I could have provided more, but this is the first one for half a month, so it's a good restart.  Next one I'll do next Friday, the 10th. That's all I have to say.  I've been reading blogs, but never commenting, so I apologize for that, I'll try going back

  Until next week,

  Pa pa.

  P.S.  Good thing I copied this blog, I pressed preview on this blog and it brought me to a log in page, lol.

  Insert Title Here...

  Hello Guild Amongst Many Elaborate Significant Persons On The - Mountainous Event Morning By Eventual Resolution Site.

  Another new week, another new blog.

  Went for my followup at my doctor's yesterday, and the Barium swallow turned up nothing unusual, so he diagnosed me having gastrointestinal reflex.  He said I'm pretty much stuck taking omeprazole for now, but if I want to try my luck, I can stop taking them in a couple months to see what happens.  And the best cure for this is to lose some weight, which I've again lacked off on.  But, beginning today, I'm going to start counting calories more seriously, and try and find time in my day where I can go to planet fitness twice in a three day period.

  College is going pretty good, as we're approaching the final few weeks of the semester.  Three weeks to be exact, counting finals week.  Nothing happening except my professors trying to squeeze in the last bit of information, and get everything ready for the end.

  I went to my friends house as planned, and we recorded us doing the demo for Injustice: Gods Among Us, we played four rounds, unfortunately the fourth got corrupted, and my friend is trying to animate it, lol.  Anyway, if you're curious how thing went, here's me vs. my friend, me vs. his sister, and brother vs. sister.

  So yeah, things got a little complex in our plans as the car troubles continued, with our vans engine.  It was having some troubles, and the check engine light came on.  Long story short, the engine was on it's last feet.  With the two choices of build a new engine, or buy a new car, my mom chose the engine one, as we didn't have money to buy a car, nor make payments on it.  Of course there is no money for the engine, but at least it's the cheapest.  It's going to cost $5800, certainly not a pretty number if you're not receiving it .

  So, a couple of video game news stories that got me.  For one, I guess that Nintendo is going to be stopping a few channels services.  Probably the only one I'll be sad to see go is the Nintendo Channel, having times of looking up videos on games, and getting demos for my DS... But, I haven't gone to the Nintendo Channel in a long time.  Heck, the last time I connected my wii to the internet, news was hot on the first Epic Mickey, lol.  So yeah, a shame to see it go, I'll miss it, but not too much I guess. Batman: Arkham Origins is the next installment in the Arkham series.  Pretty excited for this, especially now I'm all caught up, more or less, on the series.  I guess this could sort of shed new light on Riddler trophies and such if it will be his first encounter with the Riddler. Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is somewhat of a surprise.  I was certain it was an April Fools joke with the description of the plot, and the first trailer/teaser being released on April Fool's day.  Ah well, looks interesting, despite the craziness and nothing like the ways of actual Far Cry 3, I'll play the demo(or I assume there will be one at least, being an XBLA/PSN game) and see how it goes.

  Games list:

  • Assassin's Creed: The Tyranny of King Washington: The Infamy - 71%
  • Batman: Arkham City - 76%
  • Dishonored - 11%
  • Gears of War - 40%
  • Ninety Nine Nights - 43%

  and BlockBuster game...

  • LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 - 29.6%

  So, I finally did it, lol.  At long last, I started the Tyranny of King Washington DLC.  Still have some of the regular game to play/beat, but a little 'what if?' history sounded fun.  Almost finished with the first episode I think, the percentage was a rough estimate as I was hoping to have at least the first done by this blog, but oh well.  I'll try to make it well into the next one too by next blog.  But so far, I'm liking it.

  And also, despite Black Ops 2 being available another two days, I somehow still ended up with Lego Harry Potter 2.  No complaints really, I liked the first one, I liked the Pirates of the Carribean, so I like this one.  It's just irritating to know Black Ops 2 was just in reach, but BlockBuster crossed it's arms and said straight to my face "no." lol.  Anyway, Lego HP, I just finished year 6 yesterday.  Not too bad for having it less than a week, eh?  I'm kind of surprised I'm this high up in percentage, but I guess it's all thanks to the past few Lego games, they've helped me prepare, lol.  Anyway, kind of moving through it fast since I wasted a month with Enslaved sitting idle in my living room.  I'm still having lots of fun, just holding off exploring, searching for gold bricks and character tokens until I've completed the story, and have everyone that could help, i.e. a dark wizard who can perform black magic on certain blocks, or students of a certain house.

  Anyway, not sure what my gaming will/could be like for the next couple weeks with last minute tests and assignments happening, and then at the end of the month finals.  With the exception of this week with some Tyranny of King Washington, if I get any time to play, I'll probably focus solely on Lego HP so I can send it back.  I have still been trying to beat one of the last bosses of Kingdom Hearts:BBS, but he's a real tough guy, but maybe here and there I'll try.  Otherwise, I think for the next three weeks, I'll unfortunately have to cut back on game time for studying my classes.  But, so be it.

  And this is all I have to contribute for this week, so it is where I shall say until next week...
