Herd of Cats

There is no way this is ending well...

...and it didn't.

After we took the Zombies to Round 24 in Verruckt we switched to Gears of War Judgement Day ditching SeanMCR in favour of Coxxorz.

We play Gears of War Judgement Day sporadically when we have four players together. I assume there is some kind of plot but when you only get it in pieces spread out over months you really have no idea what is happening.

However we all knew exactly where "Stormblade is deciding" would lead us...

All I know is one girl's name is "Groot".

Call of Duty Black Ops 1 was the final winner for Sega Nite

Verrückt with four players reaching the glorious high of Round 24. Stormblade (!), SeanMCR, Graybush and Blackwalt.

I say high but I can not claim it is our highest ever. The highest previous record I can find is 20 with four players and 18 with three players. There may be more but I didn't look that hard.

We tried our slightly newer strategy of not opening every single door imaginable. It did improve things.

Technically it became a five player match when Coxxorz joined our Xbox Live party and added his usual brand of random commentary and sarcastic remarks. I think we kept going three extra rounds just to keep him waiting.

I'm really looking forward to this game. Also the first time I've tried PwnCall's BestBuy preorder....better work out!

At least there was a good turnout

Coordination is still not our strong point.

Recapping:

Graybush: playing Call of Duty Black Ops 1
SeanMCR: playing Netflix
Stormblade: playing Call of Duty Black Ops 2

Unfortunately there is a limit to how much I can mock these three:

Every time I think I can't hate him more, I do!

The fact that this is auto-biographical makes it even worse...

My hate, my hate, it is boundless.

You might have a mouse problem when...

Infinite death loop in Sniper Elite 3

Playing Mission 6, Kasserine Pass, when I am caught out on the open by a vehicle. I revert to my last auto-save to discover the game carried over my death scene. The above video was recorded after quitting out and restarting the game.

My experience with Sniper Elite 3 hasn't been glitch free but this was the first to cost me major game progress.

Not too happy about it as I had to restart Mission 6.

No, this is not Opposite Day. And sorry to post an actual News item...

So really...it's Batman. Why am "I" the only bringing this forward?

While we wait for the next DLC drop for Ghosts...why not play this MP game? It's free and it's about Batman. Need I say more?

So, Ice, here is exactly what happened

I can not tell a lie, the drive back from the Airport was eventful.

Despite appearances no cows were injured in the making of this collision. Buttercup got up and walked away.

Technically other than a slight pull to the left everything is fine

Mostly.

So some of you knew that Ice was up for Canada Day. Most of you didn't realize that he had to be in Regina the day after so he flew out of Ottawa on July second. This, of course, meant that he left his Acura RDX with us for the week. We are responsible to pick him up on Saturday. Theoretically in his own car.

First off everyone involved is fine.

Secondly my mechanic assures me that it will be fixed like new. Or a reasonable facsimile.

Thirdly, Ice, as much as I appreciate the loan I think I will stick to my 14 year old CRV as it drives better. Or at least it does now.

Canada Day - Rideau Center

Ice was the one who first noticed it and started laughing.

So some of you may remember the exploits of the clan over the last few weeks, while trying to cooperatively get the achievements for finishing the various Call of Duty "Extinction" mode maps. Or rather trying to get the achievements for some of us. The clan was apparently a little unclear on the whole "cooperation" part.

Well you can imagine my attentiveness when seanmcr asked if I had heard of the extinction-related "eggs" challenges.
