Herd of Cats

Literally.

On Xbox 360 thanks to God is a Geek

Despite how often I blame him for things, this time it really was

11:15PM last night with my finger on the "A" button

So I feel lousy this morning. And while it is not totally because I was up late last night I have to feel that it contributed. What is weird about this is Graybush and I both stopped playing at 11:15PM. We had left the gaming party and both started shutting down our Xbox 360s. We were just have a final chat before we shut down. That is when we got a horrible message.

Pwn Call (Coxxorz) has joined your Xbox Live Party.

Really? That's just great. "Umm, we were just quitting out."

Coxxorz: I just finished downloading the new DLC! We have to play it!

Graybush and Blackwalt: We were just quitting out!

Coxxorz: Just one game! Come on! I downloaded it for this.

Graybush: Well I guess...

Blackwalt: Sigh... fine. One game.

It was surreal and the most enjoyable gaming moment I have had for a long time

In single player just in case you were wondering why no zombies were involved.

So this months free Games with Gold game is Hitman Absolution. Since it was free I tried it out. I enjoyed the puzzle style, I enjoyed the multiple legitimate routes and I even enjoyed the story line. I did not enjoy the bug that crashed my game and erased my save game along with all my progress. Although the multiple pathways did make replaying everything a little better.

One chapter has you taking on the Saints (Killer Assassin Nuns in leather) inside and outside of a cheap Motel - The Waikiki Inn. The Saints were sent by the Agency to assassinate you. Once they RPG your motel room things get exciting. The game turns things around and tasks you with killing the Saints.

The first two sections of the chapter have you in massive gun battles with the first few Saints and their Agency goons. This eventually leads you into a cornfield where I continued with the free for all gun battle. This ended badly for me multiple times. The Agency goons would mow down the corn with assault rifles and I would die badly. This occurred multiple times until I realized it was time to switch approaches and go back to basics. I equipped my garotte and went back into the fields.

Official Call of Duty®: Ghosts Extinction: Episode 2 Mayday Trailer

Following the events of Nightfall, the Quick Reaction Force team has been sent in to investigate a high-tech ghost ship adrift in the South Pacific. They will find new weapons and items to aid their fight against the alien horde. But new terrors are also abound, such as the insidious wall-crawling "Seeder" and the skyscraper-sized "Kraken."

Titanfall for 'Xbox 360' isn't going to review itself!

Not to belittle SeanMCR's review of the next game he will be rage quitting but we are still looking for someone to test out the Xbox 360 version. It is expected to be different than the PC and Xbox One versions. How different is up to one of you to determine. Hopefully.

Please note that Respawn Entertainment posted a promise to fix multi-player match making the day after SeanMCR pointed out it's many flaws (under point 1). I choose to see these two things as connected. It is good that Herd of Cats is having a positive effect.

With TitanFall for Xbox 360 due out in one week you still have time to come forward! Avoid the rush!

So I apologize for missing the second game of March, Dungeon Defenders. I hope no one really wanted it.

I was surprised by this month's first game, Hitman Absolution, as it's a relatively recent release (November 2012) by Game with Gold standards that reviewed fairly well (79% at Gamerankings).

Careful though as it is a 7 GB download. Make sure you have the space for it.

In case I miss it the second game for April will be Deadlight which is a zombie game.

This seems like a long time for a single game...

Remember I talked about the release of X-com Enemy Within? It's still in the shrink wrap until I finish the original X-Com Enemy Unknown.

So yesterday my internet went out. Somehow it is Rogers fault although it is hard to blame them for a hardware failure. I still do, I just have to work at it more. No internet meant it was time for a single player game. Hey look, X-Com Enemy Unknown.

Time to wake up the HoC X-Com team and launch the final mission. I activated "The Gollop Chamber" which might have been more ominous except that I had Colonel Gray Bush do it.

Blackwalt: "No grenades!"

Col. Bush: "Oh come on!"

After a surprisingly small amount of damage I was setting up the prime HoC X-Com team to take on the last mission: Temple Ship Assault."

Today's Lego Chima original giant mech

This is my latest masterpiece. It all started with one lego set called Razar's chi raider. I just fiddled with the pieces and after awhile I came up with this.

It's chi blaster arm also doubles as an axe. It's gripper arm can pick up anything! At first the gripper arm was too heavy but we soon fixed that.
Just saying we built this from scratch.

Special thanks to Blackwalt for building the gripper arm
