Two Worlds

Where did this game come from? Its due for release this year and looks to maybe give Oblivion a run for its money. Here is a link to its news on Gamespot-


I came home the other night and my wife had perfected the Maniac rank in Burnout, gaining 45 achievement points and pushing me over the 5000 mark. She is playing alot and getting into the races. She hasn't taken it online yet, but she will and she will enjoy it I'm sure.

 

Speaking of Burnout online, anyone else get mad at EA's servers? I froze up the other night and dropped about 20,000 point in rank from one game. I am not a rank whore, but it is kinda frustrating.

Google your Gamertag!

I like to google my name and see what comes up, so I tried searching for my Gamertag, and the results were more impressive than my name. I ran into some Playstation forum posts from 2004 and a list of ambassadors (not the Xbox one).
 
I get a kick out of silly stuff like this, I bet tons of stuff comes up under BM2loveangel's or fourzerotwo's.
 

I also have been playing alot of Kameo since I haven't yet and also my 4 year old enjoy's watching me play. It is pretty fun and it is also helping out with some achievements.
Played some of the new Hitman also, but as I always do with the Hitman series, I love the first few easy hours, then get stuck, frustrated and eventually so angry at the game I return it before it is due at the Video store. I couldn't get past the Curtains Down level. I traded the replica for the real gun so the one target gets shot for real in the opera. It's the guy with all the secret service surrounding him that was too hard for me. I kept running out of frickin bullets. Oh well, I'll probably rent it again in a couple weeks and figure out some really easy trick to assasinate him.

Burnout is pretty consuming, I'm having a hard time sharing with my wife, and communicating with my family when I'm online. I love playing online, and I'm pretty good too "and really humble". Joking aside, I'm ranked 4234 in the world ranking and I'll do even better once I learn how to boost jump and boost start on every race. Unless you think it is cheating, then I never do it ;P I have run into some really fun people, and met some cool gamers from "Married with Children" who won't leave negative feedback if I jump ship early to tend to my kids. Leaving early does affect my rank, but I'm not worried about it.

I don't work at all Friday night and was wanting to have some semi-private games of Burnout. If you want to do some GRAW or COD2 just tell me and I could rent one of those. Either way, it seems like alot of us are on Live Friday nights, and we should capitalize on this and play together. It's fun to play together!

Get Lost!

You should all get Lost.... hey, where are you going? I meant get the TV series Lost. I just recently rented the first few episodes and it is pretty amazing. If you still haven't seen it (even though I think that I was the last person to see it) you should right now. Don't even dither with anything else till you watch it.

I somehow avoided the internet all day yesterday, so I didn't know when the Dash Update was being released. So I come home from work at around 12:30 in the morning and played a little Burnout, and then decided to watch another episode of Lost. Halfway through it say's I am disconnected from Live. Not thinking much of it I finish watching and pop the disc out to put disc 3 in. It brings up the update and instead of watching another episode I surf the dashboard for 30 minutes. I changed to boot to dash, downloaded some stuff just to fill up the queue and played some music. Overall it was a very smooth update, and thank you to M$ for listening to the consumer. Its not very often that you say "it'd be cool if my ______ could _______" and the company actually listens and changes your product, a mere 8 months after its release! The list of improvements is astounding! 125 different things have either improved or been implemented.

Had a great time this weekend playing Burnout with a couple fellow bloggers, Rabid72 and Sean80 and it was alot of fun. Thanks for the great time guy's. Now it looks like I'll have to pick up COD2 to play with the rest of you, unless we can arrange some Halo 2 action. I bet most of us own it and we would have no problem setting up a custom match with some combined freinds lists.

Anyways, thanks for stopping by,
