HoC Random Achievement of the Day - 06142015
This is a grenade related achievement
By grenade disposal machine they mean the plinko machine that we have been raving about.
The most shocking revelation about this achievement is how the heck does Graybush not have it?
HoC Random Round 20 of the Day - 06132015
New Exo-Zombie Carrier high for two players
Thursday night SeanMCR and I got within two zombie hairs of Round 20. We were so far into Round Nineteen we were both cursing when we went down. Unfortunately we finished too late for another attempt.
Friday night with no sign of SeanMCR I teamed up with Graybush to see if we could beat that Round 19. We could. Round 20. Again riding on the strength of the S-12 shotgun. That and a whole bunch of plinko.
We were so surprised by Round 20 and so sure that you would not believe us that we had to do it twice!
We Did It!
Remember a while back when I discovered a way to actually make kinect useful?

Xbox Wire interview with Wildcard’s ARK: Survival Evolved
I think that appearing on Xbox Wire pretty much confirms an Xbox One version
Xbox Wire: You're playing as a human, but you can interact with dinosaurs in an amazing way. Can you talk about the taming and riding of prehistoric beasts?
Jesse Rapczak: So, taming and riding the dinosaurs in Ark is a mix of patience, strength, and a little bit of stealth or preparation, take your pick between those two! Find a target, knock it unconscious, feed it food that it likes until it's tamed. It's a very simple task on the surface, but when you add in that other predators might approach and kill your unconscious prey, other players may catch you while you're trying to tame it, it could die or starve, or you could simply not have enough resources to tame it before it wakes. All of these things complicate and increase the amount of preparation – or stealth – you might need to catch a dinosaur.
Full interview: Fight for Life in Studio Wildcard’s ARK: Survival Evolved. No new video footage than in our previous ARK story but confirmation of an Xbox One version is good news.
ARK: Survival Evolved is currently available through Steam Early Access for Windows.
New HoC high for Exo-Zombies Carrier - Round 22
Seriously guys, stop holding me back
Did I happen to mention that this was solo play? I honestly didn't expect much playing Exo-Zombies alone. I think this was my third or fourth time (in Carrier). My previous high was Round 6. Mainly as I forgot to buy the Revive perk.
I may have done a smidge better if I had noticed earlier (during Round 22) that I was infected. I was a foot from the decontamination pad when I went down and used my last Exo-Medic.
For reference the S-12 Shotgun is my new favourite weapon. I had it upgraded ten levels by the time I finished.

Round 19 reached in Exo-Zombies' Carrier
And it was more than just the return of our bass player
To say we have not been impressed by Call of Duty Advanced Warfare's Exo-Zombie mode would be putting it mildly. Neither Outbreak or Infection were appreciated by us and we couldn't wait to return to Zombie Army Trilogy or Call of Duty Ghosts' Extinction. We tried Exo-Zombies, did not like it, moved on.
This all changed with the release of the third DLC which included the Exo-Zombie map Carrier.

Games with Gold June 1st-15th: Just Cause 2
Just Cause 2 for the Xbox 360 is now free for Gold Members
All I can say is you should be downloading it before you get to the end of this story. Herd of Cats covered this game with an entire series of Just Cause 2 Diaries. Well worth it because it is free!
It is a massive, open world game designed to let you blow stuff up. Also included a ton of collectibles for those who like that kind of thing. Single player only unfortunately.
The Xbox 360 version is scoring 82.63% at Game Rankings.

Call of Duty Advanced Warfare DLC 3 released - Supremacy
All we care about is Exo-Zombies Part 3: Carrier
Part Three of the Exo Zombies saga Carrier introduces a new playable character, advanced weaponry, and devastating traps to the co-op experience. Fend off Atlas strike teams, defuse toxic gas bombs, and call in Sentinel support squads while fending off brutal new Exo Zombies enemies.
What are you waiting for? Download it already.
Sadly we have to admit the only reason we knew this released today was due to Graybush's progeny. Apparently DethCon5 and DarthLordLogan keep track of these things. So thanks.
