As I have been quite vocal about, Microsoft’s Xbox 360 downloadable content DRM is rubbish. When I replaced my Xbox 360 with a 360 Elite a couple of months ago, I lost the ability to play my games offline. What made it worse, was that before I bought a new console, I rang tech support to ask if I could transfer everything over and still play games offline – and was told yes. Naturally, they’d lied to me and having …
I really should get round to scanning more boxes in… Anyway. Played a bit of this this evening, and I’m running out of open mission and am going to have to return to the kill-the-club-owners one for Dwayne soon, which I’m not looking forward to as it was hard. I did, however, complete another mission for Francis. Then he went nuts at me because I spared the life of the guy I was supposed to kill. Tch.
Well, sort of. I didn’t play it as such, I just used my wife as a joystick while she stood on the board, and we played the ball heading game. 299 points (50 more than the previous high score!) says this is the way to play it!
I’ve been spotted again. A lot. It seems the UEA did a major leaflet drop in the area, and so half the people I work with ended up with me on their doormat at some point over the last week. Amazing!
Only a few minutes on this today (yes, I know – I’ve not been on it in ages), mainly just to try my hand, or legs, at the Ski Jump again. Best I could manage was 343, which puts me 8th on the table. Rubbish. Also did the body test too.
Epic mission today – chase a helicopter, nick it when it lands, then fly it off somewhere. Then, a little later, use it again with Jacob in the passenger seat armed with a rocket launcher, and chase another helicopter and take it down. Amazing! Also took Carmen on a date. Sadly, the helicopter I pulled up to her house in vanished when she came out the house (GTA Glitch Watch!) so I had to nick a car. Took her to …
Yeah, yeah – I wasn’t going to buy any more Wii downloadable content. Partly because of the nasty experience I’ve had losing full access to £400-worth of Xbox 360 DLC (all Microsoft’s fault), but mainly because my Wii is full and I don’t want to delete or move anything until Nintendo develop some proper sort of storage system. But then I saw Toki Tori on the new-today WiiWare shop. I had to move two N64 VC games, and delete my …
Completed a couple of missions for the Paper Company man, then went and stole a a helicopter and flew over to the island I’ve not unlocked yet. That gave me an instant 6-star rating, which I held onto for ages gaining me the “One Man Army” achievement. Then I went on a date with Carmen, and after that tried to see how many cars I could blow up in one go. None, it seems. Bah.
For no reason other than I just minimised a window and thought “ooh, that is nice”, here’s my current Macbook desktop.¬¨‚Ć The picture is by the wonderful FargalEX, and you can see more of his stuff over here.
Another busy week (it was my birthday!) so I’ve got a bit of catching up to do. Wii Fit (Wii)Haven’t played this much since Tuesday, but did fit in a couple of sessions in the week. Mainly just played step and ski jump, though. Link’s Crossbow Training (Wii)Excellent! I got this for my birthday, which was pretty amazing in itself since it’s impossible to buy pretty much everywhere. It’s pretty simplistic (it is basically “just” a lightgun game) but is …
Yes, it is true. No more am I pretending I’m just 19-and-some-bits. I’m actually 30 now. Today. Which sounds very old, doesn’t it? Well, unless you’re post-30 yourself already. But it seems old to me. I don’t feel old. I don’t even feel any older than I did at 20. So I suppose I’m not. But I’m half-way to 60 already. Pff. It seems I share a birthday with Andy Murray and Zara Phillips. And lots of other people, of …
Just 24 minutes on this today, and almost exclusively on Ski Jump, trying to beat my beat jump. I didn’t. I did, however, complete both advanced and super advanced on Tightrope, and did a couple of yoga and muscle exercises.
Gah. I’m stuck. I spent ages trying the mission for Dwayne where you have to go to the strip club and kill the managers. I just can’t do it. Even with full health, body armour, and a pile of weapons, I still get mown down. There’s nowhere to stand where you’re not vulnerable – even if you find cover someone will come up behind you. Or the police will turn up. So I gave up on that and nicked a …
A couple more missions for Playboy X today, and he gave me a new Whiz phone. Woo! Now I can have exciting themes and stuff for it. And it has a camera! Shame I can’t keep the photos I take with it. I then met Dwayne, and completed a mission for him. And I drove round the island in the middle of the map a lot, and then took Little Jacob to see Ricky Gervais in a comedy club. He …
