Out of the Blue

So it snowed all afternoon yesterday, and it rained through the wee hours, leading to icy, slushy conditions around here, compounded by a blackout that left the traffic lights inoperative (the power went out briefly here in the BlueTower too, but thankfully returned). Understandably, many folks who were close enough to do so chose to walk to the train station rather than dig their cars out and deal with all of that. The thing is that with the sidewalks all icy, all these pedestrians chose to walk in the streets, making the drive to the train an adventure that involved avoiding idiots with their backs to traffic on icy roads with no traffic lights.

Always an adventure.

As for Boss fights, you think Carlos is bad, just wait until the Clown or the Ex-Vietnam nut

I thought Carlos was VERY EASY! I beat him the first time through, like I said before, everything is scripted, just figure out the pattern (the NES console gamer master came out to play that night).

I watched the vid on the ex-Vietnam nut - seems to me you just have to find the best weapon and use it all the time, and keep health and speed boosts in your inventory.....

I hope to play it this weekend.

Ahh found it for Bats and Dead Rising.

Bats don't take advice from nin, look at his gamer card, he SUCKS

As for Dead Rising, it probably has some of the most insanely hard achievements in any 360 game.

As for Boss fights, you think Carlos is bad, just wait until the Clown or the Ex-Vietnam nut

And the 1-Up link is gonna be your best bet. Also like Ass Creed there are very specific times when getting a certain achievement is easy, so try GameFaqs.

The reason for 1 game save slot is that when you beat the game, you can restart again at the same level/abilities.
Also the one Achievement for the Mega Man Mega Blaster is WORTH doing, but is very time intensive (roughly 2-3 hours).

Um nope I did not, but if ya could link it I would appreciate it. I've been ADD'ing recently so I've been bouncing around between PC, Console and this thing called *whispers* house cleaning.

Yeah, been nice here, and the days getting longer, going to the park more. Also trying to get the house done.....finish bathroom and floors.

I would LOVE to just sit and play 360 for a couple days, but I am sure those days are just around the corner (April 29th)

heh - the dept that I applied for - they use the internet in their squads to go to various DMV sites and lookup data also to lookup other offender data, etc....

Friend of mine that works there logged into their gmail account and showed up on chat...I sent a msg to them and they said, "whoops, don't know how that happened, I am on the squad laptop!" hehehehehehe

They quickly logged off.

Dammit I was sleeping but thanks for waking me up

Hey Half Elf, someone the other day posted about you helping out on a game because you had finished it a zillion times over - can't remember what the game was - - did you see that post?

Been working on COD4 MP (level 32 or so yay me!), and Mass Effect 2nd play through on Hardcore. I would kill for the damn Mako to drive as easily as Halo's Warthog.

The internet down across the Midwest and South or something?

I don't know, is there a ship dragging its anchor up and down the Mighty Miss?

Working my ass off because we do not have any staff level employees for the last couple weeks - hopefully we will hire one or two soon to help with everything....

That's because it's the world's tallest lightning rod, with arms! Sheesh... I swear religious people look at this and see the rapture, or a sign, or something that pretty freaking obvious.

Blue, it sounds like you just invented a new game to add to your daily Play list. Whack the Stupid Pedestrian

*sigh*

I have to say - I hate consoles....I really do....but I have to respect the 360 and what it has accomplished via marketplace, etc. The fact that you get DEMOS and a lot of older arcade games are there - they really do make it simple to spend thousands of dollars on games you really don't need.....or have already paid for, or have on another system, etc.

I respect the 360.....but I still hate it.

Signed,
A pleasantly surprised new 360 owner....
