Big Weekend, Little Week

This past weekend started with a large amoutn of gaming, wich to be honest has left me a bit burned out for the remaider fo the week.  I Played through the first half of the Vegas 2 Campaign with Sprigan on Realistic on saturday, whcih was really entertaining.  I Can see it being much more difficult single player, but the co-op hits a nice balance.

Sunday & Monday were mostly spend mooching around on Skate 2, which still has me very much enthralled.  The death races are particularly entertaining in my opinion, they seem a bit more lively than the last games ones.  Probably helped by the mountain no doubt.  Anniedele also very much enjoys watching the Hall of Meat challenges, which has led to many hours of her egging me on to try and cause myself further injuries.  A particularly frustrating photo Op that left me being constantly knocked over by some idiot doing the same thing as me resulted in one pad throw and a cool down shower, after wich it was promptly crushed like every other challenge put before me!  Ha!

Tuesday saw another day off from work, and a meeting with the sole purpose of defeating a map on Expert mode in left 4 dead.  4 1/2 hours later,  we had got to the last mission, but the tank and stupid A.I. players were our undoing time and again.  I definately feel i’ve improved, especially as the Director really ramps up the size of the hordes on Expert with 3 people playing compared to 2  (Unless this has been changed slightly post patch..)  I will do this, one day.

An evening on Halo 3 finished the day off nicely, but since then i haven’t managed to do anything bar pick up New York Times Crosswords, which is good if a little tricky for my english mind.  The Way their crosswords work is quite different to what i’m used to, which added to the americanisms on offer has made some words just… odd!

A bit of halo sir…

I’m sure you’ll quickly see joey & halo matching up in an almost one to on format.  Snuck a couple of hours of halo in tonight, where i was handed a solid thrashing, losing most games 15 – 9 (ish) .  It was bloody close though!  I heard that shield bleep more times than i care to mention!
