-Hey Yo! I got a lil bit of spare time, so I'll do my weekly update a couple days early this week. Just a day into the work week and I got a cold. Should be one great week.
-Last weekend wasn't too eventful. On Friday met up with Chris and we showed off some new games we got to each other like Bully and Family Guy. We then started up the co-op in Destroy All Humans 2 and played that for a couple hours, and I have to admit it was pretty damn fun. After Chris left, I finally gave Test Drive Unlimited a good few hours of my time, and came out really liking it. The gameplay also has a nice fine balance between Gran Turismo sim style and Burnout arcade style so I was able to pick up and play it and actually able to manage tough hairpin turns. I was kind of skeptical before purchasing this (I didn't get around to playing the demos), but I just had this feeling that I'd like TDU, and that has paid off in spades. If you are looking for a good racer for the 360, than this one gets my seal of approval, especially with its $40 price tag.
Saturday was kind of cool, met up with Joe and his 2 buddies Jake & Charles, and we did the second ever 40-man Battle Royal (pin only) No Mercy Marathon of Doom! Unfortunately Joe ruined the experience. Things were fine for the first hour or so until Joe started being all whiny. I guess he didn't like some of Charles tactics and made a big fit to get him to stop, but then Joe would return the favor by doing his own cheap moves and bragging about it in our faces and acting like it was nothing. Other highlights included some awesome backstage fighting in the bar and back lot where the first several pinfalls occurred and Jake actually kicking ass and getting a couple of pinfalls with joke hidden wrestler, Earl Hebner. We were down to the last three guys (keep in mind this is about 3 to 4 hours in the whole match), Joe's last guy just came in for a couple minutes and he happened to walk right in front of my guy with a special meter and right when I hit the jackhammer on him, Joey chucked the controller at the N64 and froze the game. That bitch! I think him and Charles were about to get right into a fist fight then and there, those two seemed mighty pissed off at each other.
-Sunday I went to Ground Round and was determined to finally watch a Niners game on tv since they don't have a Sunday/Monday night game all season, and our local Fox/CBS affiliates are assholes and haven't aired a single game of there's yet. I picked the wrong week to do it since they were facing those goddam Bears. I figured the Bears would put the hurt to them, but the Niners just didn't show up to play...in the first half anyways. I lost track of how many fumbles and picks the Niners committed in the first half. By halftime they were down 41-0, and I was done with my meal so I decided to boogey on out of there. Was nice to see they managed to keep the Bears scoreless second half, and put up 10 points, but by that point I wouldn't be surprised if the Bears were playing all their 2nd and 3rd string players. Blah, blah I say! Oh well, I know next week Fox will air their game against the Vikes, so hopefully that one will be a little more competitived
-Class is about to start, gotta run!
