StingX2's Gaming Madness

Achievement Unlocked?

May 12th

Yay 11,000! Even bigger yay I now have a gamerscore that ends in 5 or 0. You may remember my apology yesterday to Naruto, I revoke it this game can burn in hell. Lawl Pwned says if I get at least 300GS it won’t hurt my gamer percentage, that is doable now but considering I have at least 8 dungeons left full of 360 crashing traps, floors I ghost through and walls I become fused with I’m almostready to quit now.

I plan to press on until I beat the game and can earn all the easy points, a big middle finger to the online and collectors achievement also sounds about right.

Also as of writing this I’m now done my classes (sure I have to fail a statistics exam tonight) and i’m so overjoyed. Some free time, god bless it all.

======
Grand Theft Auto IV remains supreme like a delicious pizza at 30 tags. #2 this week is Halo 3 with 10 tags, #3 Rock Band with 9 tags and here is where it gets a bit interesting. #4 is N+ with 8 tags this week, which stunned me. And Finally #5 was The Orange Box gasping for air with 7 tags.

Some other interesting facts for the previous week:
-Wits and Wagers started off with 4 players, and combined they got 63% of the achievement points
-top 25 cut off is now 18,545, top 10 cut off is 35,401

Bully has been finished 100%, I did the boxing matches got my last few clothing items, and then only had to do the Art/English teacher romance missions. I am pretty floored I didn’t get glitched or anything, I still blame Creed for scarring me. I’ll post a full review tomorrow.

Aside from that I picked up a 1600 pt card, haven’t decided what I’m buying with it yet may randomize from a list of interests. I also borrowed Naruto Rise of a Ninja which aside from collecting should be a decent point pick up. Gamefly games haven’t arrived yet. I’m also not bothering with the poor english voices and downloading the free jap voice pack

I also went to see Iron Man and was pretty much floored. I expected Downey to be the perfect casting and he was, fit the role to a T. Gwenyth Paltrow (oh lord spelling police are coming on that one!) suprised me doing a great job as Tony Stark’s assistant Pepper Potts. Terrence Howard played Jim Rhodes (War Machine) to perfection, and whoever played the villian (I think it was Ironclad) was also perfect.
It had comedy, action, and great acting…the last two skipped out on by the last marvel movie I saw (Fantastic Four 2). Also the short scene after the credits made me go ^__^.

With college having literally two more days, tomorrow and monday I’m looking at my huge backlog to be knocked down despite Gameflys siren song. I also really want to clean up my hard drive, get rid of music/ games/ textfiles/ pictures that simply aren’t needed.

I am Iro…wanting an Avengers movie :O

Well today I have to finish my Research Paper which means a small bit of reading and watching a two hour movie of the 1985 tv production of Death of a Salesmen. This is my last assignment for any classes and all I have left is a History final on the 12th.

In Bully I hit 50% completion, achievements don’t gush anymore and I feel I’ll be lucky if I get any today. I’m still not doing a lot of missions, but I did beat all Bullworth and New Covenant Bike Races, as well I collected every rubberband and G&G card I could in the unlocked areas.

(Forgive me for any errors I’m completely drained mentally.)

I spent last night preparing my speech making sure it was in the coveted 4 mins and 30 seconds required, to cite sources, use visual aids correctly and do everything so my Public Speaking teacher wouldn’t freak out and i’d get a B or an A.

So I get done at midnight, speech is ready, outline is ready and I feel pumped. Unfortunately I can’t sleep till 3pm, have to get up at 7Am so I get 4 hours of sleep. I go to catch my bus to the college, it doesn’t show… or the next one. Great!

So I call a Taxi and spend $10 :/. I get there run into someone else from my class, an older spanish woman who is panicking she chose the same topic as me. I guess I should clarify that after saying we could choose our topics at the last second last week she switched it to 5 topics she wanted.

I went with Teen Drivers in NJ having to have a decal on their car, unfortunately this topic is severly flawed not from the idea perspective but the factual one. For a year long commission NJ really dropped the ball, HOW DO YOU SUGGEST DECAL USE AND DON’T EVEN DESIGN ONE? and how is a lame sticker your best idea among the 47 you list? good lord.

So I get there and my teacher decides, she is tired of hearing speeches and has decided this last speech is optional. If you don’t want to do your speech just turn in your outline. I was happy and pissed at the same time. So this concludes my Public Speaking course a week early than it was supposed too.

Bully-wise I’m 42.94% done the game on Chapter 3 with 580/1000 achievement points!

Let me figure out where I am here. I have a speech saturday on teen drivers having to have a decal on their cars in NJ, a research paper due monday, a take home final exam for Lit due the 12th of may and a final on the 12th for World History II. That should be my only remaining objectives for the college semester.

Gamingwise I have ballooned up 3 games to 105 in my backlog. I hit out 13% in Bully and 265 points out of 1000 in a few hours sooo It shouldn’t last long on my list. On May 12th around one in the afternoon my summer begins and I gotta attack this backlog with all my might, that being said I’m still going to end up buying GTAIV so uh…>_>

I also gotta share my favorite achievement in Bully, tripping people with marbles. I took my bag, headed to the boys dorm threw one at the end of each hallway towards the exit of the building and pulled the fire alarm. Everyone rushed out fell down and I got all 25 trips in a few seconds.

No I’m not playing Chrono Trigger, I have been listening to the soundtrack and the memories came flooding back. How come this series hasn’t recieved a third, or how come the original (or psx version due to Nintendo’s claim) hasn’t been ported over to the DS or XBLA or PSN (ew at last one).

Also that image is from the unofficial fan remake of Chrono Trigger that Squeenix stomped their foot on. You can see what they did here: http://www.opcoder.com/projects/chrono/
