Long Time, No Post......o.O

Anyhow I have barely touched any of my gamefly games which is horrible and pretty stupid on my part but oh welllls. I have bought a ton of games recently for super cheap which is a mega win. Now I just need to be playing them and finishing them for it to actually be worth it.

Well onto the main part and reason for the blog post!!! The achievements!!!!!

Earthworm Jim HD:

Blast it! for 5G

Total: 5G

I know I have barely touched this game and it is mostly because I have barely touched my phone lately other than for calls and have barely had any free time at work or anything. I prefer my controller when I am at home.

Rock of the Dead:

Total: 20G

So I hated this game and already sent it back to gamefly, maybe when I have more patience will this game actually grab my attention. Until then, this game can suck it!!!!!

Out of the Groove

So lately I have been feeling a little disjointed gaming wise. No real direction or anything and I haven't been on my game. The only thing I have been playing consistently is Halo: Reach. And even then not all that much. 

I picked up Earthworm Jim for WP7 on deal of the week and the controls are annoying but it is a well done game. It isn't something I can put alot of time into in one go but it something that is fun for me to pick up for a level at a time. 

I finally officially bought Halo: Reach from Gamefly and am awaiting for the case and manual to arrive. I also bought the 1st Jack Pack for You Don't Know Jack and started playing it. I'm only 1 episode in, mostly because I hate Cookie Masterson. 

For some reason Gamefly is sending me my 30th choice on the list, Rock of the Dead. Me thinks that I will start putting maybe 5 things in my queue in order to get more recent games first. It is frustrating when they send me game number like 45 when there are so many others before it, there is a reason it is game number 45 and not game number 1...it is making me really despise Gamefly and making me want to downgrade my plan. It wasn't like this when I started my membership, it is like they stopped trying, thinking I'm hooked on them or something. 

I still have to start on Singularity, I have the guide that they gave out on the USB stick from Pre-order...more like 6 of them....but still can't find the want to play it. I know I should start it but I have been avoiding it like the black plague. 

I have been searching my card and seeing all of these partial games and it is a little daunting to think of all the time I need to put in to finish it up, I know I should I just don't have the patience for it. 

Anyway onto the real reason for the post and update...the achievements!

Pretty sorry amount the past few days I have been working alot and this coming week I am working even more, couple that with sickness and all the stress and it equals alot of me sleeping or not being at home and very little gaming. Hopefully, I will be able to start to put some big numbers up again soon. At least I haven't come to a total standstill yet.

Achievement Haul....o.O

So I have been pretty busy with everything going on in my life the past couple days and have only been able to put a trivial amount of time into gaming. Sad as that may be.

I recently got into Dragon Age: Origins pretty hardcore. I bought the game awhile back and played it maybe 2 times for about an hour each session. But I got into a mood for an RPG and didn't want to play any of the other RPG's in my collection and found this sitting on the shelf behind everything else. I popped it in and really got into the gameplay this time around. I have sunk about 8 or so hours into over the past 2 nights. I am most likely going to finish this up along with all the DLC and buy Awakenings and then go ahead and venture into Dragon Age 2 a game I thought I would never buy...BioWare 1, my wallet -60...

Achievements gained from You Don't Know Jack:

Back Taxes for 40G

Perfect Attendance for 73G

Total Achievements for You Don't Know Jack: 2

Total Gamerscore for You Don't Know Jack: 113G

I finally played through all 73 episodes and got all the wrong answers of the game. I only have 2 achievements left in the main 1000 and the DLC. I'm gonna let this one sit for a couple days and decide whether or not I want to send it back to Gamefly or keep it for a little while longer and actually finish the game.

Achievements gained from Pocketbike Racer:

Standard Gold for 10G

Total Achievements for Pocketbike Racer: 1

Total Gamerscore for Pocketbike Racer: 10G

This game is fun but only for short periods of time and wears on me pretty fast. Since I only have tournaments in local play to finish I will take my time and just kind of play when the mood strikes me since I actually bought this game outright.

Achievements gained from Uno HD for WP7:

Two Card for 5G

So I picked this up on the Deal of the Week and only need to win the 1st round of a Hard quick play game, I just find myself UNO'd out for the time being maybe when I am bored at work on of these days I will finish this up.

Achievements gained from Scene It? BOS!:

Soft Focus for 20G

Total Achievements for Scene It? BOS!: 1

Total Gamerscore for Scene It? BOS!: 20G

I decided to play a little Scene It while I was bored one night and actually managed to get a string of Distorted Reality questions I knew the answer to...shocking

Achievements gained from Halo: Reach:

Lemme Upgrade Ya: for 10G

Total Achievements for Halo: Reach: 1

Total Gamerscore for Halo: Reach: 10G

I rented this from Gamefly finally to start to finish this up. I actually hated Halo but have been finding myself getting into the story and the gameplay finally. I'm gonna buy this from Gamefly for like maybe 15 dollars compared to Gamestop who is charging nearly 50...I would say this is a steal, especially considering the Gamefly copy they sent me has barely any scratches on it at all and I will get the original game case and manual.

Achievements gained from Dragon Age: Origins:

Pilgrim for 10G

Easy Lover for 10G

Educated for 15G

Total Achievements for Dragon Age: Origins: 3

Total Gamerscore for Dragon Age: Origins: 35G

Total number of Achievements: 27

Total Gamerscore: 373G

It is a decent amount considering the majority of my time has been spent on a time consuming RPG which will require me to play multiple playthroughs.  

Completed Game #13

So I finally couldn't stand it anymore and felt the need to finish up Night at the Museum: Battle at the Smithsonian. It was hellishly easy and a good lazy day game for me. I finished up the last 3 or so levels of it last night in one sitting. The boss battle was almost a joke.


So now I have 1000/1000G
And a 100% completion for it.

Achievement Difficulty: 2/10
There are a couple challenges that are annoying due to game mechanics and can be a pain to complete, other than that it is smooth sailing.

Time to complete: 4 or so hours
It took me a little under 4 hours to actually finish this game mostly because I missed a collectible in a level and had to go back and find it. If you don't miss anything in any level you could easily finish this in around 3 to 31/2 hours. Missing collectibles or awards will certainly set you back some time.

I bought this game for 7.99 so it was worth it in the end. Gamefly will give me 2.50 for it as of now, but I don't have any other games to get rid of right now so the shipping isn't worth it to me. I'm almost scared what the other used retailers will give right now seeing as how they take stuff for 2.00 and then sell it for around 15-17...

So Much For Getting Stuff Accomplished

Well I have 1 more day off this week and so far it has been a pretty big fail. I have had a lot of time taken up by 1 game in particular, You Don't Know Jack. I'm nearing the end maybe 10 or so episodes left in the main game. But there is DLC and I'm not sure if I am strong enough to tackle that. I might just wind up sending it back to Gamefly and just re-renting it later after some well deserved time off.

I started back up on Night at the Museum 2 and had to go back and mop up an achievement from a previous level because of a flying level that I didn't quite have the hang of the 1st time through. I wasn't really paying attention when I first went through and missed 2 wrenches.

I was trying to complete Big Bumpin' but every-time I have a party lined up people don't show up or people decide that they don't want to play anymore. No messages or anything. At least have the courtesy to message to change days or whatnot. Grrrrr. Whatever, I may just start searching for some other partners for this game.

I purchased Sonic & Knuckles for 120 microsoft points since they have a SEGA super sale going on currently. I might pick up a couple other titles before the sale is over 200 points for Sonic games is a good deal and takes me back to playing on the Genesis. A few other SEGA titles are tempting me like Shinobi for 200 points and OutRun. I'm not sure yet though. I have quite a few other arcade games to finish and start before I start playing new stuff so I think I should wait but they are so darn cheap that I really think I should buy them.

The Sunday Haul....

I had a little more time today for gaining some achievements. Not much more but it was better than the average 30 or so minutes I usually wind up with between work and family. 

Went out to lunch with my mom, and saw my partner in crime, those things take up alot of time that I could spend gaming but they are worth it so I'm not complaining. 

All in all it wasn't the worst day I have had. Lately, I have kind of been in a slump, I have been very antsy and not really able to focus on games for a long period of time. No one game has been holding my interest for longer than maybe 20 to 30 minutes tops. It is a miracle when I actually play a single game title for around 45 minutes. 

I got lucky and someone responded to my post on the forums about PocketBike Racer so I was able to get the online done.

Completed Another.

I actually finished this game on 4/12/2011 but I haven't really remembered to post about it. I picked up Monopoly for WP7 when it was on deal of the week. For 2.99 it wasn't too horrible. Much better than the 4.99 I would have paid. In fact, I actually had been putting this game off purchase wise because of the price.

It was an easy 200G and only took me about 3 hours. The only achievement that I had any issue with was rolling 3 sets of triples. It is more about luck than anything else. You can get all of these achievements by playing a single game with 2 human players it doesn't matter which human player gains the achievement it will still pop on whoever's account is attached to the phone.

So all in all, this game is a quick and easy 200G and was well worth the 2.99 price tag. For 4.99 it will have to depend on how much you happen to like Monopoly.
