3rd times the charm?

So I am going to try for a 3rd and final time to do this blog. I always have fun blogging about whatever I feel like, but never feel like actually typing it out. Hopefully I can find some more interest in blogging this time, because if I don't then I will probably hang up the gloves for good.

Anyways on to, well I don't know yet. We'll see how this completely random and unplanned Blog turns out.

First thing that came into my head was Video Games. And I got a few of them for Christmas. What I am having the most fun playing is Modern Warfare 2. Fantastic game. I haven't even touched the single player yet, however the multiplayer is simply extraordinary. I have a feeling that I will be playing this game for a long time. It's so fun I've been playing it on PS3 and Xbox 360. My K/D and W/L ratios in both games show which system I am use to, with a K/D of .82 on the 360, and a .68 on the PS3. Also with a W/L of 1.00 on 360, while only having a .40 on the PS3. I hope to play the single player soon, but the multiplayer keeps calling my name.

I also received Madden 2010 for Christmas. Not much to say about this game, it's just another slight increase over 2009 with an updated roster, yet I still love it.

Another game I got is Dragon Age: Origins. I have played this game for a couple hours and am so far enjoying it. The game is rather fun, and the dialogue is phenomenal. Once I have a big chunk of time to play this, I will play it some more, because it feels like a game that I don't/can't put down once I start playing it.

The fourth and final game I got for Christmas is Left 4 Dead 2. This game has a lot of variety compared to the first and I haven't been able to focus what I want to do yet. The variety sort of bogs the game down at first, just because it is difficult to decide which game mode, and which map you want to play, but after you get past that the variety is remarkable in keeping the game feel like new every time you play it.

Well that was pretty fun, we'll see if another post is on the way.

B's are here

*Sorry in advance, I'm having difficulties formatting with the links*

So I've played 2 games since my last post. I bought Borderlands thanks to some trade ins at Gamestop, and rented Brutal Legends.

Brutal Legends: This game is fantastic. I recommend it to fans of music and anyone looking to have some genuine fun in a game. I love the uniqueness of this game. It has a little of everything. The game itself contains racing, fighting(combat and long range), and RTS. I could go on and on about the game but by the time I finish talking about how awesome it is, it's over. Unfortunately it suffers from a short campaign, but after you finish there is so much to still do(collect 120 serpents, all side missions, collect 13 legends, collect 9 solos, collect 32 landmarks, collect 23 buried metals, collect 11 motorforges, and collect 24 jumps). I know this seems like a lot of collecting, but if you use this map: http://www.achievementhunter.com/games/guides/brutallegend/ (all credit goes to RoosterTeeth and AchievementHunters for this map), then it makes it much easier. And the songs in the game are so good, that I am actually having fun collecting for the first time ever (I've never collected for any other game, because it is always boring). If you want to read more about this game then read my review on Trueachievements.com: http://www.trueachievements.com/gamereviews.aspx?gameid=2094#c47898

9/10

Borderlands: Another great game, and very unique in it's own way. It is an RPG shooter set in 

the wasteland(not Fallout 3 though). Unlike Fallout 3 it is a shooter with RPG elements instead

of an RPG with shooter elements. The shooting is smooth and easy to handle. The looting is fun

and so is the leveling. The game also hands out achievements like a free balloon on free balloon 

day.

 

8.75/10

Not much has happened

3 Weeks later and not much has happened. 

Gaming I have got ODST and really like the game. I beat it on Legendary in about 4 hours with some people. The campaign was pretty weak in that respect. However the Firefight Mode is endlessly fun. I also have to say the achievements are some of the best achievements I have seen in a game. They keep you playing the game while not being to difficult to complete. 

On to Cross Country. I recently raced a 23:24 which is a big improvement from my last post, I have another race on Thursday and hopefully will get close to 23:24, but it is a harder course than the other one. 

And on to the PS3. Honestly I haven't played it that much. I played some Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 and from what I have played I can say that Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1 was much better.

If anyone has any suggestions of what you would like to see in the future, or suggestions to make this better than please comment. Or just comment to make me feel special, because it lets me know people care.

Fail?

Ok, so I miserably fail at the whole "daily" thing. I will try to make more use out of this, but since right now I have 0 followers it might end up just being weekly or less often.

So since I last posted my streak ended. I just got bored of gaming for a while and now I barely have any time to play with school and Cross Country Practice(2-0). I'll be keeping all 0 followers updated on our school's record as well as my times. All races are 5 kilometers(3.1 miles). 

Time Trial: 27:13

Vs Saint Peter Marion  Vs Holy Name: 28: 31

Now for gaming: 

I just got a PS3, but I still prefer the 360 to it. The biggest complaint though isn't the games it is the interface and the controller. I dislike how complicated the interface(dashboard type thing) is compared to the 360 Dashboard. Also the analog sticks on the controller are very annoying, because the left analog stick is down and not in the natural place your thumb goes when it holds the controller, making it difficult to adjust.

I can't remember all the games I've purchased since my last post, so I'll just say my most recent. I recently purchased both Puzzle Quest and Lode Runner from XBLA, both Deal of the Week's, only spending 1200msp($15). Puzzle Quest is really fun, have yet to play Lode Runner though.

Splode Splode Splode SPLODE!

Okay, today I earned  3 more achievements in Splosion Man, which is still such a fun game. I also got some very amazing times and am the legit number 1 on 2-6, and was yesterday on 2-9(not sure if I still am though).  I say legit because there is some obvious hackers or glitchers that have levels done in under 5 seconds. I also gained 1 achievement in Shadowrun yesterday to keep my streak alive.

I also earned 2 achievements in the new Gears of War 2 DLC. I haven't played any of the maps yet so I can't say if they are good or not but the deleted scene is kind of lame, but since it was just an add on to the game I guess it doesn't matter.

The Red Sox lost today 6-8 to the Athletics they now are 3.5 games behind the Yankees in the AL East and are 1.5 games ahead of the Rangers in the Wild Card. And if you didn't know the Phillies got Cliff Lee for some prospects. this makes their staff amazing. they right now have a 10 game winner a Cy Young Wunner and a world series MVP winner in their staff.

I would like to also say that yesterdays concert was amazing. The two opening bands were The Answer and Anvil. The Answer was not very good, but Anvil was very good. If you like Metallica then I recommend Anvil because they inspired Metallica(according to wikipedia) and they do sound very similar to Metallica. AC/DC was also gamazing they played the classics and 2 songs from their new album, which weren't as good. Also during the concert a drunk guy kept falling on me and poorly singing the lyrics very loudly. I have to say AC/DC really knows how to make a great show.

If anyone has any questions, tips, or anything you want me to add/delete please comment.

Not much of an update

Ok, so not much happened today. I mostly played a lot of Splosion Man and watched an episode of Dexter. I also gained 1 achievement in Splosion Man. In Splosion Man I have been working on my times and I have 10 top 30 times and 1 top 5 time(out of 40,000+ people)

The Redsox are currently winning 6-0 against the Athletics in the 6th inning. Barring a comeback the Redsox should win this game. 

Also on a side note I am going to a concert tomorrow and then to my friends house afterwords so there will be no blog(Oh NOZE!). I know all 0 people who read this are going to be disappointed.

Dexter

So I gained 1 achievement in Shadowrun really quickly today and that was all. I really didn't feel like playing xbox but I got this achievement to extend my streak to 66 days.

Now about the title. I have been watching Dexter and I have to say it is an amazing show. So far I have watched the first 4 episodes of the 1st season. I am planning on watching the 5th episode after I post this. For people who haven't seen it you should try it, if you have Netflix then you can watch the first two seasons on instant. It is a show about a killer who has morales.

The Redsox lost today 6-2 to the Orioles bringing them 2.5 games behind the Yankees in the AL East and 2.5 games ahead of the Rangers for the Wild Card.

Splosion Man

Holy shit, this game is amazing. If anyone reads this(doubtful) go get it now. Me and my friend suck but it was so fun. We played for 6-7 hours and only have cleared 38ish sections in the multiplayer campaign. I believe that there is about 50 sections. I haven't even started the single player campaign but I'm guessing it is going to be another 5+ hours so that is 12+ hours of gameplay for a very fun 10$(800 ms points) arcade game. And then after that me and my friend have to go back and get all the cakes(collectibles). Also it is just fun to try and beat your time. Me and my friend on one level finished in 34 minutes and it was the second to worst score that is how bad we are. Our average time per level was 15 minutes and the average par time is 1 minute 30 seconds. Buy Splosion Man

Anyways my achievements I have earned since last posting were 4 more in Splosion man, 2 in Star Wars: The Forced Unleashed, and 3 in Marble Blast Ultra. My friend finished the advanced career for me under par in Marble Blast Ultra and he got me the last couple of eggs. Also I was playing the DLC for Star Wars and I though it was worth 400 ms points(I got it during Deal of The Week) but not 800 ms points. It is about 1-2 hours if you are as bad as I am to max out all the achievements in it.

Sports:

Okay I have a question to ask about soccer. Why is it that every game has overtime or whatever it is called even if the score is not tied. It doesn't make any sense to me. Sorry if this sounds stupid I don't understand soccer at all but I was just wondering.

Also the Redsox won 7-2 today against the Orioles. This pulls them to 1.5 games behind the Yankees(Yankees suck!) in the AL East and 3.5 games ahead of the Rangers in the Wild Card.

Achievement Update

So I have a friend over and he is eating cake, I already ate mine so this will be very short. I got Splosion Man and earned 1 achievement in that along with 10 achievements in Call of Duty 4. Also the Red Sox won today 3-1 against the Orioles. That's it for now, off to play some more Splosion Man.

First Post

Today I was bored and decided to make a blog. I will try to be as daily as possible with this blog. I will have scores for my hometown teams. These teams include  Boston Celtics, Boston Redsox, and New England Patriots. I will also be talking about my gaming. So far I am currently at a 63 day streak for achievements. This blog is probably going to be really boring, but I was bored so I decided to start a one anyways.
