The last day of June, well that was one quick month...in fact at this rate it won't be long before it's Christmas again. So how is everyone? Hope you all having a great time gaming as usual.
Today I will be doing Warcraft again, my last chance to grab that pet and staff with Lord Ahune although I doubt it. Also I will be doing the daily quests for Firelands, so hopefully tomorrow I will be able to move onto stage 2. After that probably put some time into Bulletstorm and then not sure, would like to get some time on the Uncharted 3 beta.
Not again, just remembered my 3DS was not checked after work on Tuesday. Will have to put it on my “to do list” for every day from now on or else I'm going to keep forgetting. Anyway let's check it out, first up let's see what new Pokemon I'm getting today for the Pokedex. Sandile is the lucky one today; he looks ok but would not be one of my favourites.
Currently writing this in Microsoft Word since the blog just crashed and I can longer access the editing section, anyway back to the 3DS and now checking the street hits. Three hits on Tuesday and pretty much the regular people so doubting on puzzle pieces this time but one can hope. Got one more of the Super Galaxy 2 panel, better then I hoped and it now leaves me with eight pieces left to get. Time for the fourth play through of Street Quest, let the journey begin!
Quite a good start but that was only because the characters where mostly level 7, ran into a ghost with a shield so that stopped session quite fast. Took out three ghosts, two blue ghosts and three rooms cleared are the final results today.
Very annoyed right now, my copy of Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3 just arrived but no art card pre-order bonus, the whole reason I ordered it for a day one purchase was because of the bonus. Waiting for a twitter reply now but doubt anything will come of it, very fecking annoyed though.
Right I’m going to go login into Warcraft and start doing all those dailies, wish me luck hope that I get the pet and staff. Just the pet would be the best since I probably can get a new staff from somewhere else.
Nothing so another year now before I can get another chance now, wish they would sort out the drop rate in the bags. Did the firelands dailies also and should hit stage 2 with no trouble, also did a few quests while I was online as well.That’s it for now even though I do want to play more of Warcraft, I really could do with getting on with the other games. Tomorrow no doubt I be putting some time into Warcraft anyway when I hit the second stage and doing the new quests for that.
Hmmm gamedigital twitter account just posted up a link saying they now taking pre-orders on the new Wii RPG, Xenoblades Chronicles. Let’s see if I can find a trailer for it and see if it’s any good, be nice to use my Wii again. Think Another Code is the only game I’ve clocked on it so far and don’t think I’ve used it since.
Wow actually looks really good and it’s fully open world too, the only thing that puts me slightly off is that right now you can only get it with the controller for £50ish. Don’t get me wrong the red classic controller is cool but I’ve already got a black classic controller from the Monster Hunter Tri chest set (which is still sealed lmao), will have a think about it.
Time for some bulletstorm me thinks and starting clocking some games again, been slacking since I’ve finished Green Lantern and Uncharted.
Completed quite a bit, did all of act 2 and 3 leaving me on act 4 now, would say I'm over half way through the game now. Did not go into detail today due to the fact one I think maybe that's a bit much and two the amount of time I spend writing about what I'm doing could be spent playing them instead. Of course that does not mean I won't be writing about what I just played, sometimes I will go into detail and do a summary. Anyway today session really was fun and forgot how good Bulletstorm is, of course my mind as been wandering all day. Keep thinking of how many games I've got unplayed and how many are coming out, really could do with some more time.
Anyway off to work so I might catch you later, have to see anyway see you later.
Well it's quite late and in fact it's tomorrow (12.09am) so no gaming really tonight, was late back and had to cook some tea so what little time I had was spent eating. Just going to check my 3DS to see what I picked up on the street pass then hitting the sack.
Three hits today so not too bad and so first up the puzzle swap, hoping I might get two but knowing my luck probably zero. Ohh just the one today and it was a Super Mario Galaxy 2 panel piece, so with that it's time for the fourth play through of Street Quest to continue. Problem I'm stuck on the ghost with a yellow shield and don't think these mii's magic will do any good to help, yup all useless magic so nothing completed or defeated.
Well that sucked but oh well, anyway see you all tomorrow hopefully.
Thanks for reading and have a good one folks! ~Iznic
Wow the 30th post for the Daily Grind, Like to thank everyone that reads my blog and hope that will continue on for a long time, anyway back to the grind!
Nothing posted yesterday mostly because of my lovely long shift and when I came home found out that the Uncharted 3 beta was going up until around 10pm, did go onto Warcraft to find no patch seems EU was delayed until today which is currently downloading right now. So was a bit disappointed overall, but there was one good thing I did do Lord Ahune again in WOW and looted my cloak finally! hooray! my first level 85 epic gear.
Today will be a huge marathon on World of Warcraft once the servers are back up and I will be posting up my journey through patch 4.2, later tonight I'm hoping to get some time on the beta for Uncharted as well. Starting earning some of those unlocks and see if the multi player will be any good, fingers crossed. In the mean time while I wait for the servers to go will be doing some tiding, blogging and might put some time into Bulletstorm as well so overall a busy day off.
Just added a new banner to the blog with a lovely Firelands theme, hope you all enjoy it. Speaking of blogs I have been thinking about doing a second blog for my other hobbies, gaming is my main hobby and well my life pretty much lol. But I do enjoy reading books, especially novels from Black Library publisher (Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 universe novels), Star Wars etc and also enjoy films/tv along with being a fan of anime. So as I said it's been on my mind for a couple months now to do a another blog dedicated to my other passions in life, even thought of calling it Iznic's Library. Not sure though, food for thought.
Finished all of Act two and loving every minute of it, forgot how good this game is to be honest. Would recommend it to anyone just for the sake of replay value, you always want to go back and try different skill shots. For example there is a lovely weapon that fires a chain with two grenades attached that when it hits the target it wraps them up, then just press the fire trigger to set the grenades off. Fired into a crowd and bang took out the entire group, this skill shot is known as "gang bang" lol. Yesterday fired the same weapon onto a guy then kicked him onto a balcony that set off a chain reaction thanks to explosive barrels, killed ten guys and got over 2,000 points (Achievement for that)
Amazing game
-----------------------------------------------
Anyway going to see if the servers are back up for World of Warcraft, so see you in a second.
It's back up! time for the firelands to begin
-----------------------------------------------
Right loaded up in stormwind the human capital, one thing I love is just a new simple thing and that's when you open the map your character now holds a map in their hand and look at it, simple but cool.
New dungeon journal is very nice and handy to have, have been thinking about getting more into Warcraft and do dungeons again so this will be helpful. Going to put myself into the Que for lord ahune again, hopefully my loot bag will have the staff or pet today since running out of time for this event. Dang in fact it ends tomorrow do got two chances left then have to wait another year.
See the key chain as been taken down and now got a ton of quest keys in my bag taking up space, guess need to tidy my inventory before I do any of firelands. Bag is now cleared so got some space now, put a few items on the auction house so hopefully make some gold of them. Just also realised that my quest log is full, dang need to make some space in that too now lol. Hmmm got mail too better go check that first see what's going on, ah gold for keys that no longer work in game that where taken off me.
Lord ahune time! Fingers crossed
-----------------------------------------------
That was a disaster! Soon as the fight started we lost one of the dps guys died straight away so had to use my rebirth son that went on the 30 minute timer. The healer did not seem to cope and the group did not attack ahune when his defines down so instead of the normal 20-30% health left when his defines goes back up he was still on 65%!. Then the same guy died again, struggled with the second wave of mobs and still didn't kill ahune so it was disaster and the healer quit leaving us all to die.
So waiting again
Just sorted out some glyphs since I did not know I've never sorted since cataclysm started. Attempt two of lord ahune, damn lost one of are dps again at the start so thought it would be a repeat but we did it. No loot again and the tank got the pet, :-(
-----------------------------------------------
So time to clear some quests and start firelands, got quite a few tol bard daily quests so heading there now.
Finished five daily quests over there, was fun to be honest but dang I am weak. I've been playing wow for years, done some school raiding and use to be up to date quite often. But for a long time I just mucked about and went casual and never kept up to date with the changes, so I am finding myself struggling. My gear is all green with a blue here and there, my first epic was that ahune cloak so that's how and it is. I want start dungeons but no idea on the tactics and don't really want to wipe my group, think what I will do is start reading up on a specific dungeon and then Que up for it, do it a few times to get use to it then move onto the next. Once done that then can start doing random daily dungeons to get the points and better gear.
Anyway now I've cleared some of my log going to start with firelands and the new quest lines.
-----------------------------------------------
Just come to me I've never been to mount hyjal yet, only visited it briefly in the beta. Just started the thrall quest line and loving the story so far, this is what got me into Warcraft the lore and story. I'm off now on a journey to find thrall
-----------------------------------------------
Awesome quest line, saved thrall from fandal the idiot Druid, went across all the elemental planes to rescue his mind and spirit. Ending was great got to see thrall getting married and got a better cloak now lmao all that for ahune and gets replaced
Damn did not see that coming but should had, can't start firelands dailies until I've done a specific amount of quests in hyjal. Makes sense I guess since all story related, wished I had started this zone sooner.
-----------------------------------------------
That was annoying just did a quest to escort a prisoner before he recapped, fandallol so the earlier quest spoiled it really. Just have to make sure to put the time in next time so won't ruin the story.
Basically the quest I need to work towards is to assist the four ancients, just helped one out at his shrine. Took a while but was really fun, even ventured into a small section of the firelands to take out weapon smith area.
-----------------------------------------------
I'm done, done over 70 quests and unlocked the area so I could start the new fireland hub. Cannot go to firelands yet though, have to do daily quests and earn 20 marks to unlock phase 2 which will let me go in. Right now I'm on 12 marks and can earn four a day from now on so Friday the earliest. Been a really fun day and loved every minute of it, the quests where good and the story kept me entertained and interested. Looking forward to seeing what fireland will offer but anyway I'm stopping for now, time for a nice long break.
-----------------------------------------------
Well my break was a lot longer then I expected so calling it a night, but before I do I just saw the list for the summer of arcade on the xbox 360. Fruit Ninja Kinect is coming out on the 10th august (800 points), Toy Solders Cold War is out on the 17th august (1,200 points) and also a game called Bastion is starting off the summer and coming out on the 20thjuly (1,200 points). Actually saw a trailer for Bastion today and it looks like a cool rpg, reminds me of the old school rpgs.
Morning, Blimey it's a lovely warm day, prefer cold myself but oh well! still going to be a gaming day no matter what type of weather it is. Anyway this morning I've just posted up the details for the Uncharted 3 Beta, seems it's getting main game unlocks a bit like Gears of War 3 did. Something else to work on but whats annoying it starts tomorrow which is the same day for WOW's Firelands patch which I need to do the new dailies on as well Argh!! too much happening at once again. Wonder how hard it will be though to level in the Uncharted multi player since there is an unlock for hitting level 25.
Anyway enough with that it's time to get some gaming on the go, been thinking long and hard last night and this morning. I will be playing Bulletstorm on the pc first, it's easy game to just jump into and also it counts to a lot of my challenges as well so that's a nice bonus. First up it's on my summer challenge list, it gives achievements so increases the gamer score and its a 2011 release so knocks my percent up as well. Since I've already played the game on the xbox 360 I've got no problem playing through with a collectible guide on hand since there will be nothing to spoil.
Also thinking of doing another game on the side but just don't know what yet, but anyway time to install Bulletstorm and while that is happening I can do some tiding since my room is a tip again.
Got to love my iPad, got the guide opened up ready like an electronic walk through. Basically using xbox360achievements.org, they been kind enough to list the achievements in order that you can get them as well. So first up is getting 10 head shots before the first drop pod, now thought that would be easy but failed straight away. So reloaded after taking a break and got it, found it easier to move up closer to the enemy so it stops your allies killing the, before you can since you blocking the shot.
I forgot how much I loved this game, crude jokes and squad arguments got love it. Have noticed getting flickering images now and again, hmm graphics card should support this. Might need to update the drivers, in fact it's annoying me a lot so going to save and quit to sort it.
Drivers are updated so jumped onto World of Warcraft to do Lord Ahune, while I was waiting did some archeology and got to 150 getting a nice achievement for my trouble. Still no loot but did save the group from a wipe but got no thanks for that, your welcome guys! Some how the healer was killed so quickly rebirthed him, popped Innverate on him so his mana comes back quickly. Then hit tranqulitiy to heal the entire group before anyone else died while the healer got back on his feet. One day I'm going to get a shock and get thanked, because that is not the first time I've saved the group *Sigh*
Anyway going to load up Bulletstorm again and see if that flickering as stopped, catch you all in a bit.
So basically a misfit crew of four renegades out for revenge, betrayed by their commander and used as assassins to kill innocent people they now seek to redeem themselves by attacking military targets. Course it involves getting drunk and swearing a lot, game starts with you on your ship and accidentally running into the general flagship. Being drunk brings good ideas and your character idea, of course the leader of this misfits decides to attack. After being shot down in the last few minutes you take a collision course and take out the flagship crashing yourself and them on some unknown planet.
Welcome to paradise!
So the crew is dead except one, who is more machine now then human. Also he needs charging up with power cells every now and again since he keeps running out of juice, also add in fact he hates you doesn't help either.
Love this game, the crude humour and jokes are great and you can be brutal with the kill skills. While we was escaping the wreckage, we was ambushed, so shot one guy in the throat so he was running around spraying blood everywhere. Kicked his pal into an electrical panel that shocked him to dust then exploded the third member of their group with an head shot. Just a normal day in Bulletstorm and the kill moves only get better!
Currently working my way through a mining compound that is not local made, course it swarming with local thugs. So currently working on the skill database while I'm making my way through, the skill database basically lists all the possible type of kills you can get. Doing well so far and latest one was to leash a helicopter pilot out of his seat mid flight. Finished him off as he was falling with a head shot since time slows when you use the leash to pull some one.
On level three of act one and loving every minute of it, just had a huge train fight with a giant crusher wheel chasing us with tons of helicopters, trucks and other trains filled with bad guys. Can't say you will get bored there's plenty of action going on.
Well just finishing off Act two level one and stopping here, just had a huge fight in a disco bar.
Since the last time we spoke the train plummeted over a cliff and was able to survive (of course), made my way through a giant cave which turned out to be a nest for some kind of godzilla creature. Then to get out had to destroy all the eggs so it was peeved, then shot the train wreckage that was still hanging up above so it dropped on the creature, so no doubt that made matters worse. Now on the outskirts of an abandon city and that's it!
Anyway stopping for now since really need to get on with some tasks, will be doing some more gaming later and hopefully some blog posts too. Although I could do with watching some rental movies since no doubt the next few nights will be dedicated to Uncharted 3 Beta and the World of Warcraft Firelands Patch 4.2.
I'm back and went with watching a movie since tomorrow going to be gaming chaos, going to call it now since it's quite late. Have a good one and see you all soon, ~Iznic

Well that's it folks, you can find the official post here with more FAQ etc and no doubt I probably will be seeing you online soon, have a good one!
Hello one and all,
Bet you shocked to see this post finally up, well after weeks of promising I'm finally sitting down and getting on with everything I need to do. Also helps that I just finished a giant gaming marathon and no idea what to play next, so while I'm still deciding thought I should do some updates finally.
So think back just before E3 this year and I put a post saying what I would like to be announced, in fact you can find the post right here. Well thought I would do a write up on what did come true and what did not, so lets get tucked in.
1. Halo HD Remake - Happy days it was announced and will be adding co-op which was a shocker, will be looking forward to doing some co-op sessions later on this year.
2. Halo Wars 2 - Nothing was announced not even a glimmer, I found the first one to be a good real time strategy game. Oh well maybe another day, one can hope
3. Halo 4 - Hell yeah! he's back baby and something big is going down! Ok it was a small teaser and another year before we will even see it but still glad to see it's being built.
4. New Nintendo Console - So the Wii U was announced and I have no idea on what to say to be honest. The idea behind the tablet is cool but since all we saw was tech demo's no idea if it will be par on with everything else. The list of games sound ok but for the time have to wait to next year to see the truth on how good this will be.
5. Dawn of War 2 Expansion - Nothing was announced but did see on Stream earlier on the week that Dawn of War 3 is in the works, so I will take that over expansion news. Cannot wait to see what will be next!
6. Star Wars Old Republic - No dates or even beta dates but least got to see some game play footage which looked amazing! but would be nice to get a time frame
7. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 - Ok so no collector editions or information on the online elite service, but did get to see a full level in play which was impressive.
8. Gears of War Exile - That was shot down quickly, it was announced there was no plans for anything Kinect concerning Gears of War, oh well
9. Batman Arkham City - No collectors editions announced, some cool game play trailers where put up at least. Just hope when they do announce a CE it be better then the last one.
10. 3DS - No professor layton since we major behind, but will be getting the first one in the new trilogy later on for the normal DS. Mario Kart sounded cool and still got Doctor Lautrec although no idea when, overall was hoping for a lot more to be announced.
11. Pokemon 3DS - Nothing yet
12. Bioshock Infinite - Looks outstanding from the game play trailers and cannot wait! Although I don't remember seeing a date announced
13. PS Vita - Well got pretty much everything I wanted except the date which right now is either Christmas or early next year, price as been sent at £280 and £230 which is not to bad for what we getting. The demonstration of Uncharted was outstanding and really sold the console to me, would like to see more details on games now really
14. Mass Effect 3 - Man oh man it looked awesome! the game play trailer showing the mech fight was impressive then the addition of kinect voice support was a nice touch. Oh and love all the goodies in the collectors edition
15. Ico Collection - Not much announced other then dated as September, there was a nice looking trailer showing some of the graphics changes.
16. Last Guardian - Vanished off the radar! nothing show or talked about, hopefully some info will come out soon for it
17. Star Wars Force Unleashed 3 - Nothing but to be honest I was not expecting this announcement for a while
18. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 - Same as Star Wars I was not expecting anything so was not shocked when nothing was said.
19. Monster Hunter - Nothing announced really, oh well
So overall I got quite few things I was hoping for and to be honest there was a lot announced that I was not expecting as well. Going to be a good year for gaming again
Morning, How goes every one's weekend? hopefully you been getting plenty of gaming in like myself. Well got to say I'm please so far with the fact I clocked Uncharted and half way through Green Lantern, hoping to finish it off today and I will then trade it in. After that I've got my rental game Thor to do as well as all the summer challenge games I've got listed, thinking one of the PC games to be honest. Either Starcraft 2, Bulletstorm, Dawn of War 2 Retribution or Fable 3. Also do have some pick up games to finish off like Where the Wild Things are on PlayStation 3, X-men official game with one achievement left and Pirates of the Caribbean Worlds End with one achievement left as well. So plenty to do afterwards, just no Idea where I will start...anyway I'm going to jump straight into Green Lantern, no time like the present.
So if you remember from my last post last night I was opening a series of doors and died which put me back at the start, this time I took my time and now opened the main door and entering the main chamber for which I'm guessing is the boss fight with the queen again. Got to say the two mace power is the best for controlling groups of enemies, been a life saver the last few fights.
Level 6 finished, boss fight was pretty cool basically the queen merged with a giant well statue. Anyway now on my way to Biot to rescue one of are friends who is missing there.
Just making my way across several levels, a moment ago just finished off another Ultra Manhunter. While I'm playing keep making sure to do the upgrades since they make a lot of difference, in fact just found one awesome upgrade that I'm getting next. When in ring surge mode you get unlimited energy for your attacks, well you can get upgrades that increase damage, reduce damage taken etc while in that mode. Anyway there is a second upgrade for the reduce damage that makes you invulnerable while in ring mode, score!
Got the upgrade and it is awesome, just go into ring surge mode and Gatling gun everything without worry of damage. Anyway I'm going in circles since I'm back at the start again but on a higher level this time, then back down to where I took on the Ultra. Honestly the levels look exactly the same, from the looks I will be going back to the Ultra area again.
Back at that area again and just shooting down floating mines, picked up another upgrade that allows me to refill the ring surge meter faster. LMAO just took on two Ultras and just went into ring surge mode, they stood no chance and now level 9 thanks to that.
Just died trying to open the third gate and back to the start with the two ultras again, this can be very annoying. Right defeated them both the hard way and got the last ring surge upgrade to give me more time in that mode. Woah just got level 10 on the top floor! so maxed level now as well.
Boss fight against the Grandmaster, was able to open all the doors with the perfect timing of the ring surge mode. Really does make all the difference, if you do decide to get this game put all your upgrade points into it. Took a while and he was tough but was able to get him down, found out the traitor which shocked me to be honest was expecting him. Anyway just finished upgrading all the basic attacks so now putting points into the constructs.
Another level down but this time it was a flight one and the boss fight was horrible, basically you was just taking on another Ultra Manhunter but you pushed close. Imagine playing a flight sim but the plane is pretty much stuck against a wall, you cannot aim with the guy because of the angel so just have to pray that the missile lock will work.
Just had a huge break and spent some time with my dad watching tv, so back now and time to finish. According to my achievements I'm on level 9 of 10 so pretty much in the end game now and currently have 505 gamerscore so far. Will have to go back and mop up while finish off purchasing the missing upgrades but should not be too hard.
Making my way through the level trying to find Kilrogg or what ever his name is, just unlocked the missile pack construct so now working on the x kills with it for the achievement.
Took out the second generator to open some kind of vault door and had one small bar of health left, one hit and would be down. Made it through several groups and got some health back only to die to an attack from a group with a fighter aircraft backing them up. Of course made it through the next time since I knew what to expect and now currently heading down a huge evaluator with tons of manhunters attacking me in groups so spamming the mace attack. Just purchased the mech suit construct, good as time as any to get the x kills for it.
Just got completely wiped out by three ultras! and it puts me right back up at the top again...
Made it down this time but was ready so kept my ring surge ready...what the hell two huge ultra, well lets call them grandmasters in a way just attacked.
Right here we go going into the central area now and I can see one huge manhunter in the background. Kilowog is the name of the green lantern and hes powering the so called "Highmaster". Oh that's great, boss fight and if you move the giant fans around the area take up the whole screen so your blind! good development, ever heard of alpha and beta testing.
Seems to only happen when in co-op since the camera has a limit thanks to the second player, makes it a lot hard to dodge for both of us. Auto aim is shit, keep trying to find throw bombs at the boss but at the last second hal will decide to turn and throw at my coop buddy...
Done it finally, bloody hell they really should had tested this game in coop because the camera can go badly at the wrong times, hell that boss battle was unplayable at most points. Anyway time for the last level and to end this game.
Died at the end of the second stage of the fight, doing feck all damage to him and he takes out 40% of your health per hit and block does not work.
Lmao ok so made it through the three stages and just barely on the last bit then the sound dies...yup no sounds just the talking voices so no stomping or fighting sounds. Now having a giant mech battle and its just weird without sound, sound came back half way through the battle at least and the mech battle was actually quite cool in the end. So that's the game completed, well the story anyway so time to go back and clear up the missing collectibles and x amount kills with certain constructs.
Only a few meteorites are missing so that's cool, ah dinner is ready be right back!
Good lunch, now on mission three cleaning up and just picked up my first green meteorite which was the last one I needed which was cool. Just two blue left to go, one here and one on the level 9.
Just picked up the first blue meteorite and now loading up level 9 to get the last one, after that I just need 100k points to get the last upgrade and that's the game fully 100% clocked.
Had another break and went to watch a film, currently now on my 6th play through of level five in which I'm just grinding out upgrade points. So far its the fastest way I've found and only need four more to finish off.
And done! 1,000g for Green Lantern, which now brings me up to two games finished this weekend so a job well done. Of course I then look at my collection and groan realising I got ton still to go, but least I'm getting there. Think it's time to update all my stats for my progress this year and the challenges, so be right back.
Just updated the progress and now standing on 31 games completed but my percent for new releases only increased by one so still sitting on 26% so really could do with knocking out a few new games next really. On the ways of my Golden Key challenge I'm close to getting Level 12, sitting on a nice 36% for the fourteen old games as well. But still got a long way to go for the rest of the goals, my gamer score goal is dragging thanks to the massive PlayStation marathon I've been having lately.
Still in two minds on what to play next so I think I will take advantage of this free time to do some updates on the site that have been waiting, first up changing that countdown timer since E3 ended ages ago. Going to set it to the first release of the massive load of games that are coming out later this year, right now that starts with Deus EX on the 26th August.
Ok that's up now and running, currently got 60 days left! not much time to get my summer challenge finished really. So what next can I do for the site....hmmm where is that list I put together, think it's on the iPad hang on!
Ah ha! right first up going to finally put up a post about E3, if you remember I did post a while back saying what I hope to see at the conferences. Well time to go back and see what came true and what did not, from the looks a lot of the stuff I was hoping for came true but there was a few things that did not happen but oh well.
Well forgot to do the daily Lord Ahune quest in Warcraft, feck! probably the day I would got something knowing my luck. Did have a huge session on WOW though with my mate Matt again, this weekly thing is great and hopefully be doing it more often then a Sunday Night. We got up to level 12 and now finished with the starting zone and in the real world.
Goblin starting zone is without a doubt the best zone I've played in a long time, from giant mechanical chickens to zombies, to mechanical shark submarines and rocket boots. Every minute you was doing something wacky that only a Goblin would come up with and we blew up a volcano and destroyed an island! That's a fun night
Anyway off to bed so catch you in the morning, have a good one! ~Iznic
Welcome back, Blimey I'm still in shock on how good Uncharted was, I will be updating my later like I said since it's still the evening and plenty of gaming time left. Think I'm going go play Green Lantern and see if I can clock the game for the full 1,000 gamerscore.
Ohh just remembered I downloaded the Sonic Generations demo since it's a timed demo, going to try that first but not getting my hopes up. Hmm it was cool to play the classic sonic on the old school level but deep down I feel like they are hiding something since that's all you can play, I've heard you play through the level again as the new generation sonic. Probably will fail on that part or something, will wait and see what time brings us. Time to jump onto Green Lantern, really enjoyed the film the other day, its not amazing but no rubbish either just good ok.
Ok so far it's not a bad game, basically man hunters are invading the Green Lantern planet so basically right now I've been tasked to stop towers and now going after a Ultimate Manhunter. Playing the game on the hardest setting so taking damage a lot especially from range types, just upgraded my basic fast and strong attacks so hopefully that will start to make a difference. Also just purchases two maces which I can swing around to do area attacks since I get swamped a lot.
Seriously starting to get annoying, few range guys spread out and can take out 70% of your health before you can even chance to dodge. Ok so I'm using block more which helps but it's getting the time right between attacks.
Just did the level and the boss was easy, block stopped all his attacks but one and that only did one lil bit of damage. The animation of ending him was cool though!
Second level is set in space and it's awesome, currently flying after a huge ship and dodging in between meteorites while dog fighting with man hunters. Well that was short flight and the level is over, seems the attack was a diversion while the rest of the army attacks the centre battery. Here we go again
feck died for the first time, on this difficulty it really is hard when there is a huge group attacking you
Just finished taking out the teleporters on the top level and just got level four thanks to it, ohhhGatling gun upgrade! yes please, dang not enough to buy it.. better start saving. Ok so down in the catacombs with the battery and they seem to be shooting it with flying laser turrets and absorbing the energy? make your mind up, either take it or destroy it.
Died again, on a timer with the battery dying and completely swamped. Restarted back at the check point and with 10% less battery life! come on! Made it with 1% left on the battery life...it was taking damage from melee units that were not attacking it. Was a close call though especially when I had to fight two tank class manhunters, those things are hard to crack open!
Picked up the Gatling gun upgrade, pretty sweet weapon for range but not as good as I would had thought though. Anyway going to take a mini break while I get another cup of tea.
I'm back and I've noticed I have been going into real detail when I'm playing games so I will be cutting back slightly, instead every now and again do a summary of what I've been up to and my thoughts so far on the game. Think going into a full on walk through is a bit much in some ways and I don't want to bore you guys.
Ok so basically the man hunters where after a secret vault under the central battery, which turns out to be the holding place for another battery for the yellow energy fear. No clue why it's there but it seems we got a traitor in the corp feeding information to the man hunters and they being led by someone called Biot. Plenty of questions and no answers, but getting back to it since I've not got to take on two ultimate man hunters that are charged on yellow energy.
Biot is the planet of the manhunters, my bad! anyway during the fight got up to 88 hits which was gutting! basically used the Gatling gun and the over charge ability to give me unlimited energy for the gun. Have to try that again on a boss with a ton of health, anyway on my way to rescue aga'po the queen.
Seems her race use the power of the violet energy also known as love, the man hunters are after the key to their power. Yeah that's another central battery and even I know that, been working on some of the achievements for x amount of kills using certain powers.
Just had a huge boss fight and it was awesome, did the trick with the Gatling gun and unlimited energy so got the 100 hit combo achievement which also killed the boss in the process. Found a blue meteorite in a cave which boosted my health then finished the fight by using a baseball bat knocking three guys flying with one hit, awesome is the only way to describe it.
Just upgraded my basic attack which as upgraded the look of my sword that appears, that was a nice touch. Finish off a giant worm like android that turns people into zombies pretty much but the path to the hall of knowledge is blocked (of course it is) so making my way over it seems, so its an ok game but nothing special.
That was cool, working on the x kills with a bomb. Basically you can make floating sea mines and throw them or just leave them for a bad guy to walk into them. So kept running around making them so when they chased me they ran right into several.
Just had to do a huge fight where get attacked by several waves then had to use the baseball bat to knock energy balls back at a turret, then solve a puzzle to open a door. Repeat all that with more waves, bad guys and more turrets. Then again! three times in total and it should had stopped after the first time, they just extended to lengthen the game.
Ok made it out of the building after taking out another worm, see that's out should be a nice boss battle with a few waves not repeating the same thing over and over and...for feck sake! just walked out and there are three worms flying in the air and one up ahead.
Just died on the boss with the queen, again this is just stupid she takes barely any damage then vanishes after 10% spawn a ton of people. Kill them all while dodging her freeze move then once you kill them all repeat all over again, died after my fourth stage...too much repeating stuff it's like no thought went into how to make this game fun.
Ok beat her finally after got a tip of the forums, basically put a second pad will spawn a second green lantern. If one of you die you will re spawn in 9 seconds as long as the second person is still alive, so put the second pad on and 10-15 minutes later finally got rid of her and it was a close call several times. Now doing a sky battle with her so going to leave the second pad on to get the co-op mission achievement, well I hope it will but going to pause to get a drink first.
That was one long as flying level, glad I did it in co-op because that second character really does make all the difference. Anyway unlocked the co-op achievement and now on level 6 of 9 so not long left really, still trying to get to the energy source before the corrupt queen gets there first with the manhunters. Of course my character is still wondering who is the traitor, I think I know already thanks to the movie.
Ok I'm not really even bother to right any more, after you fight one wave it's pretty much the exact same thing through out the game just different background.
Well I'm inside the so called shrine or what ever it's meant to be, got real far and died then right back at the beginning so quit for the night, I've had enough. Did want to do more tonight for this second part post but ran out of time lol so always tomorrow, thanks for reading my posts today and have a good one
Morning one and all, Welcome to another edition of the Daily Grind, well I've got the next few days off so good news everyone! huge gaming marathon!
Right to start off today I'm going to go jump onto World of Warcraft and do the daily kill Lord Ahune, fingers crossed everyone for some nice loot finally.
I'm back, nothing in the bag again but the cloak did drop but the healer out rolled me :( cannot be bothered to try again today, will do several attempts tomorrow and hopefully will get it then.
Going to go on Dragon Age Legends since I've not really been on it the last few weeks, need to catch up with everything on it. Forgot how more fast paced this game is now since the last update, it's nice not having to wait for the slow animations to finish.
First fight went well with no hitch but having trouble with the second, three wave fight and lost my third team member on the second wave. He was a damage mage with three health, crossbow undead took out 2.5 health with one shot then the second undead did a lightning spell finishing him off, did not stand a chance. Now struggling since they keep targeting my second party member, several times she gone down to 1 or half a health left and still got one more wave to go.
Made it and thank god for shard bombs, injury kits, team injury kits and health potions lol anyway going to stop now, I did three fights and sorted out my works in the castle so not too bad. Anyway going to go make a cupa of tea then when I'm back going to check my 3DS for yesterday then play some Uncharted, goal is to finish it by the end of the weekend.
I'm back, got myself a cuppa and did myself some lunch while I was in the kitchen. So time for some 3DS, come on street pass give me lots of hits. Nice four hits yesterday! better then I thought to be honest, hopefully some puzzle pieces this time around too.
Only one piece today from the store Mii, another Super Galaxy 2 piece. It's getting harder to finish off these last panels, maybe next week will see some more. Time to finish off the Ultimate Ghost in street quest, two level 7's and a level 3 should do it...I hope lol.
YES! the work mii finished him off and that's my third play through completed. Took 47 heroes to finish this play through, going to reset it again and go for my fourth play through. Anyway checking my Pokedex now and let's see what strange one I got today, the winner is...Venipede bug pokemon.
Right just loading up the PlayStation and before I jump into Uncharted going to update Dragaknight challenge stats, I will be doing mine tonight after my marathon. Hmmm don't think this is right, think I've missed one of his posts from somewhere. Two seconds going to send a message and have him double check the list.
Time for some Uncharted! oh and by the way Spoiler alert!!!
Back in the cathedral again and just took out the first set of guards, now last time I walked down to the front and a second wave came out which got over whelming and flanked me. So I need to trigger the wave then make it to the back again where I can bunker down, need to find a good spot first where I can reduce any flanking methods.
Think I did it but dang they are fast, they where able to catch up with me even though they had half a room less start.
I'm impressed with myself lol the cathedral is clear and drakes journal says the two bells must ring together, so just shot both lol. Oh great secret passage with a ladder going down into darkness, no monsters down there of course. Hmm hang on that's a flood light...won't make that mistake again like yesterday, military probably around the corner. I was right one just jumped right in front of me, luckily I had my desert eagle on aim mode.
This underground crypt is huge...expect any minute for the skeletons to rise up or something since I keep getting that creepy feeling. Hmmm another cut scene adding more back story, are old pal Eddie is moaning about something else killing his men other then me.
Ok I'm back outside after one breath corridor walk and now on Level 15 which hints that I'm back on the trail of the treasure. Ohhh Gold Inca Figurine treasure next to the stairs.
Basically found my way back to the courtyard again but this time taking a slightly different route on the top floor so now climbing up the cathedral outside, Sully mentioned on the radio a secret gallery on the top floor. Mystery is just getting weirder, anyway made my way inside and took out a few guards and found a treasure in a side room. Golden Spanish Goblet which brings me up to number fourteen out of sixty.
Ok just died from a fall but across the other side of the cathedral is a window with a heart that the Spanish are meant to use to identify vaults, here goes nothing then.
Made into the secret room and found a treasure to the side soon as I walked in, Jewelled Golden Cross and got a trophy for collecting fifteen of the treasures so far so not bad at all.
So the secret room had a window with the sign on, open up to show a mausoleum with the logo on the roof and is the current location of the main bad guy who was suppose to be sent on a wild goose chase by Sully, good job. Of course the vault is in the mausoleum...oh that is so going to go real well, knew undead would be involved.
Sully has made a diversion but I'm now currently gunning my way through the ... well not sure what to call this place, but there is a giant hole in the ground but there are several graves so maybe a graveyard.
Took a death, when I crossed around the hole I went up some stairs and got shotgun blast in the face. So made it this time since I knew what to expect, also found a Golden Inca mask treasure...so time to enter the building and find the vault. How in the world did Sully and Elena make in here before I did!!
So level 16 and we are now trapped, of course Sully wasn't trapped with us but glad to have Elena here for the extra fire power because I think I will need it.
Blimey its a huge ass maze here...ok I think I get it, basically on the map are the roman numbers for 2, 5 and 7. On the floor, walls etc are numbers pointing to different paths so need to just follow those three numbers.
Ok I hate these flaming spike torches that kill you if you get him by them, made it into the next area but something was jumping up above on the top floor... guns out, shoot anything that moves and don't hesitate to be trigger happy that's the plan.
Feck Eddie is back with friends!
Sweet just got the Desert Eagle kills trophy
Take a quick pause break while the trophy syncs with facebook, need another cup of tea.
Think I've got all his men, then again I said that twice before and both times a guy with a grenade launcher appears and almost takes me out. Ok making my way slowly up the walk ways but getting ambushed every few seconds and I really do mean in your face close calls with a shotgun type of ambushes, surprised not died yet.
Level 17 now and found Francis Drake body, looks like he never found that treasure after all.
What the feck! weird creatures that look human but part vampire ish??? glad got Eddie backing me up and love the cut scene moment before the fight. "Got one thing left to say to you, I hate your guts!" lol here we go, thank god I picked up that shotgun just before
dang two hits and dead, feck dead again and got farther that time
50 kills with the Moss - 12 trophy just unlocked, dang really panicking shooting right now lol hurry Elena. Damn it Eddie just died then a ton of the creatures appeared, cant shoot without getting hit so dodging and cant see the fecking rope!
Ok made it this time and had a chase scene down a corridor which was proper nerve racking lol, so no on level 18 and inside a German U-Boat bunker.
See this is why I don't like horror games, dark corridors and rooms with weird monsters jumping out around corners scaring the living lights out of you. So currently on level 19 which is called Unwelcome guests, good title don't you think. Basically I made it through the bunker to the generator room to turn the power on so I can go back and pick up Elena then use the lift to the top. Of course turning on the generator so far as flooded the room with these...freaks, cleared it once and now flicking switches which open more doors and let more in.
Made it to the second switch, very nerve racking since you have to go into a side corridor so basically you waiting for them to come charging around the corner from behind you when you flick the switch.
Just got the 30 kills with the MP40 trophy, might make a dash in a minute and go into the room and head for the door. Made a run and luckily it triggered a cut scene which closes the door behind you, so phew! dang that was one hell of a adrenalin rush. Made it back to one of the earlier rooms and a movie was playing on the wall explaining that the treasure curses people, these things are the local population well what's left of them. Francis Drake took out all the ships so none of them could escape but guessing they back thanks to the Germans and of course recently the bad guys bringing teams of people.
Here we go again, made dash running around the room with these creatures giving chase while blind firing everywhere...music as stopped...think I'm done... course I'm bit jumpy every time I hear slight scratch lol. Hmm a door, please be to freedom
Humans! the lovely debt collector Roman is back and now has Elena, also the door behind is banging with shouts so guessing got humans to shoot now. Better then those creatures, least I can take cover and bunker down. Hey that's cheating they wearing helmets! oh hell creatures are back...wait they fighting each other! score! now armed with more up to date weapons again.
Fighting my way across the harbour now, mixture of creatures and military. Just threw a grenade into the middle of a huge fight between creatures and miltiary and got the survivor trophy, no idea what its for so going to quickly check. Oh wow its a silver trophy for killing 50 enemies without dying, awesome. Can hear fighting around the corner so trying to take my time and let them duke it out then finish the stragglers off.
Massive container area is being a major problem, hard to tell where people are coming from. Right now using my pistol as a sniper rifle or to take out humans then the assault rifle for the creatures since few bullets usually takes them out. Also doing retreats, first sound I move back towards a safe area so I pull them towards me into the open. Think the area is clear and now making my way around
Ladder, back to normal land! I'm out of the bunker and now on Level 20 race to the rescue!
What a rush, now you can see why I don't like horror games cannot deal with things jumping out on me, yet I'm ok when its normal humans lol. Anyway just saw on twitter my mate Galerian just clocked Dungeon Siege 3, dang! not even opened mine yet.
Anyway I'm back at that drowned city and Sully is in trouble again so off to rescue him too, from the sounds of it just military guys. Dang it I'm back at that huge open courtyard where I died god knows how many times, well it's not a courtyard more of a town square.
Made a dash to the hiding spot on the stairs and its complete madness, got snipers in the roof tops. Guy with a grenade launcher just charged me but got him, there is a ton of guys below running around. Think I just killed the last one and got the 50 kills with the M4 trophy at the same time. Second wave just appeared and I'm on low ammo, more snipers and some with grenade launchers too. Talk about a challenge!
Out of bullets but just nabbed a grenade launcher so making short work of the snipers now. Sweet all done and now heading to the church to stop them from getting the idol, this is going to turn out bad and I just know it.
In the middle of huge fight in the church with Roman's military force, also unlocked the 92FS pistol 50 kills trophy during the fight. That's just brought me up to 90% towards Level 12 on my PlayStation profile, exciting stuff.
Course a hidden passage under the altar, where else would it be and dang that's a lot of bones at the bottom. Level 21 is starting now so it's end game time, Sully does not believe the treasure is cursed lol he will change his mind soon enough. Working my way through the catacombs and found a treasure, Golden Skull Rosary...how nice. Another treasure "Sapphire and Silver Mask" with all this stuff I found, really don't need to find this curse treasure lol.
Don't open it! oh dear...Roman you idiot, some weird dust just came off the corpse that was inside the idol and went into him. Turned him and now he's dead thanks to his mate tricking him. Ok so all along the hired goon was tricking Roman to get the idol so he can sell it to the right people to cause, well a plague of creatures ? good plot
Off to rescue Elena, bad guys are chew toys right now except the boss
Just died, Sully his covering me so letting him take care of the creatures but has I went up the stairs two shotgun guys appeared, got one but the other got me. Dead again there is a third one futher up that jumps from around a corner.
Level 22 the final level, basically hitched a ride on the idol which was taken by helicopter but now as crashed on their ship. So time to take on this guy, Navarro think his name is and what's left of the military. Least no creatures around...I hope and hope Sully is ok since he was left in that catacomb.
Ok this is hard, basically he takes pot shots at you with a laser sight gun that can kill you quickly while several men try to flank you. Once you kill all the men he runs off, got to the second area and died from a head shot when I peaked out.
Died few more times but now just cleared the second stage, basically fell back to the first area and took cover there then picked one off at a time.
What a game, seriously kicking myself for not playing this sooner because this game is 100% without a doubt amazing. It's going on my keep shelf and I will be replaying it at a later date to get all the collectibles and to get the platinum trophy for it.
Just wow, really cannot explain how amazed I am with this game. Really am shocked I let this gem go unplayed for so long without giving it a chance...might be starting Uncharted 2 sooner now after that. Also need to pre-order Uncharted 3, might put a order down for the special edition in a minute but will cancel it if someone puts up the Explorer edition.
If you have not played Uncharted before just go out now and buy it, don't insult this game by renting it.
Right I'm going to end this post here and make today's grind a two parter since this post is really long, see you in a bit and thanks for reading my madness and hope you enjoyed my journey through Uncharted.
~Iznic
P.S. yes I know the ending is missing, but what can I say :) you need to play it to find out
Morning folks, Hope you all been well, there was no post yesterday since I was busy and didn't get a chance to last night. So I will be talking about yesterday's stuff as well as today's, but first I need a drink then going to log in onto Warcraft to do the daily Lord Ahune. Yesterday was nothing again with the healer cloak dropping and the bag full of blossoms again, someone in the group did get the staff though which was cool for them but not for me though :( I want it! lol
Still no luck, I know I can keep fighting Lord Ahune all day and probably get the cloak but the staff and pet only appear in the bag which is given out once a day. Got a free day tomorrow so might do a few runs in the effort to get the cloak. Anyway did level up again in the archeology profession, so currently standing on level 140 for it but still no cool items yet.
So yesterday I had my two Family Game Night Volume 3's arrive, my girlfriend loves boardgames so we decided to give it a try. Got to say I was surprised, I was expecting to love Mousetrap and maybe twister but instead we loved Cluedo and Life.
Yahtzee we still holding judgement until we played it more, the blasted thing did not bother to explain what buttons you need to press so the first game was just button mashing in the hope something would happen.
Mousetrap was really boring and when we finally got to the end the computer seemed to have 100% luck with all five of its dice rolls being the exact number to either escape or catch us. Then twister well, its basically a memory game. It shows up a combination of buttons which then you got to repeat, but in the style of guitar hero when the buttons appear across the screen and have to be pressed at the right time.
Anyway thanks to last nights session walked away with another 100-200 gamerscore to the profile, so very happy there and happy to find another game the girlfriend will play.
Got some more trailers today to put up, first is the new trailer for Harry Potter's last game Deathly Hallows Part 2. Does not look that much different from the first but then I've not played it yet! still on the shelf from the Christmas sale, anyway the trailer looks cool so no doubt I will play it.
And the second trailer is for the new map pack for Call of Duty Black Ops, so far never bought a map pack for Call of Duty since it's not often I do multiplayer. But I have found myself playing it online recently and do like the bot matches which uses the multiplayer maps so maybe one day I will try them
Just downloaded the Halo app, you got until the 7th July to unlock the flaming helmet for Halo Reach. Check out Bungie.net for all the details, you need to be a a registered user then a simple click unlock button and done! one helmet, it's been given away while Bungie celebrate 10 years of Halo and 20 years for the company.
Also on the subject of Halo, shopto.net is reporting that there will be a new novel coming out called Grasslands that will tie in the story for Halo 4, could be interesting but will wait to see something more official since shopto.net as been jumping the gun lately on news (Sony say Vita as no release date even though shopto.net claimed it was "officially" told 4thnovember).
So think I'm going to do some more Uncharted this morning, not in again until later. Been looking forward to playing it again to see how this story turns out.
Console update...great might as well get on with some tiding while I wait
Feck, forgot the 3ds again yesterday! lol going to start with the Pokedex again and let's see what cool Pokemon I've got this time. What in the world! its a giant cloud ... Whimsicott?
Very strange indeed, hmm going to check the rest of the stuff now. Dang only three hits yesterday, wish people would carry their 3DS more often. Maybe it be more busy tonight, anyway let's see if I can finish a puzzle or least get one piece. Ohh one more piece for the Super Mario Galaxy 2 panel, the work 3DS as a ton of that panel woot! Oh another Super Mario Galaxy 2 piece and that's it for today but only 10 pieces away from finishing all the panels!
Ultimate Ghost is still alive though but down to 30-40% health, need some high level characters to give him a good bashing. Well that's its and perfect timing since the update just finished so onto Uncharted.
Just found another treasure in the first room on a balcony, was exploring for ammo to be honest since the fire fight I just had cleaned me out. The treasure is a silver belt buckle and brings me up to no. 7.
Right...so going to leave Elena here since she promised she would stay....riiiiiggghhhttt... no doubt I will be saving her soon. On wards to the boat anyway..feck jumping balcony's and getting shot at from somewhere, so shot the lock on the door jumped in and found myself in a huge room with level 11 appearing called "Trapped"....guess that might be a future hint there.
Ok an helicopter just flew over the top, the room is filled with ruins and plenty of ammo...guessing this will be one serious fight.
Dead, they come from every direction ... I need a good place to duck down where I can sniper them off quickly before the grenades are used.
Damn it died again because of the stick to cover, camera went weird because Nate was leaning against the wall weird so could not see anything and got shot. Right this time I'm hiding behind the stairs where I just found a sniper rifle!
Took out the two guys on the balcony with the mounted gun so hopefully that will give me some breathing space now.
Out of sniper bullets and my uzi is out too, got my shotgun but they all too far away...wait I see a new gun nearby.
M4 machine gun, perfect
Dang took out four guys but still more coming so its turned into a dare game. Dashing out to grab a gun or ammo then run back to hide behind the stairs since they can't seem to throw grenades that far.
Found a WES pistol now we talking, one shot range kills for the win. Going to start making my way across the room and see what happens, dang it they coming from behind now so making a mad dash to the mounted gun on the other side. Hopefully can make it!
Phew ! there was only two of them left since when the ambushed happened I was shooting with the WES so took most of them out. Music as stopped so think it's over, going to explore and grab as much ammo as I can ready for what ever happens next since I do not believe that was the trapped part. Just left the room and I can see the boat just outside, that was quicker then I thought.
WOW! wait what! cutscene with Elena stopping us from taking over the boat since she wants Nate to watch her video camera and it seems Sully is alive and might be a bad guy... and missed the boat so it seems we going after him to either rescue him or beat him up, sounds like a plan to me!
Just ran up the stairs next to the dock and took a guard out which unlocked me the 50 kills with the Uzi! score!
If you not played this game you really need too! walking through the ruins with the mountains in the back drop is amazing and beautiful. Just nearly lost Elena to a dodgy bridge but her camera did not make it, bout time she lost that thing.
Love it just shot a guy with the shotgun and he went flying over the railings into the river, the animation is amazing to say this game came out several years ago. Jet ski again and its now level 12 so guessing that room earlier was the trap, anyway saving up and calling it for now so I can get some food.
I'm back and just had a really nice burger, anyway I was going to jump onto Green Lantern and do some more then it come to me. I'm on level 12 of Uncharted and there is only 22 levels so that's 10 left, got a few hours before I need to start getting ready for work and got the entire day tomorrow. So I could just focus on my time and complete this bad boy and maybe even do Green Lantern afterwards as well, you know what I like that idea. First, a cup of tea is needed!
Let's get this started then! ok that sucked, I saved before getting on the jet ski which was just after the dock fight. I was stocked up on weapons but just reloaded and in the right place but my weapons are back to after the fight so down to four pistol bullets and that's it, nothing on the floor either :( also no grenade launcher on the jet ski this time just the pistol.
Well I'm now on level 13 and made it up the river, that was really annoying since the river was always pushing against you. Don't get me wrong I liked that real effect but found myself losing control too often and made me enjoy the level less.
Ok now it's getting creepy, going up the mountain towards a monastery in a dark creepy forest. Also add in the cut scene where we find one of the bad guys dead on a trap made out of are plane parts, no sounds in the forest too. Yeah this treasure is cursed all right and something is out there.
Great proper trained military bad guys now, although just had to laugh one went to throw a grenade so shot at him making him drop it. Took out the whole group! wow and the desert eagle is awesome, on par with that wes (? spelling ?) pistol.
Just breaking into the building now to find sully but can see a courtyard up ahead so no doubt an ambush site but there is a huge angel statue in the middle but the head is a skull with loads of spike, not a good sign.
Feck nearly out of ammo, currently hiding on the outskirts of the yard but there are guys everywhere and on the balcony's. Mad dash in a second for some ammo but this is why I love this game, it keeps you on your toes!
Fourth deaths in a row, keep getting rush from all sides I need a spot where I can bunker down
dang it! put five bullets in the guys head and he didn't die so dead again and this time got a lot farther. Least I got the 100 head shots trophy from this fight but got to start again which is really peeving me off now.
*sigh* sniper ed with a shotgun...
30 kills with the sniper rifle trophy, course I'm going to unlock it with the amount of times I've had to redo this part.
Died again but found a good spot that I could hide at, going to try it now. Basically when I start you run down some stairs then have to dodge roll to a wall because of snipers, luckily the wall has a sniper rifle which I use to kill them with. Then you got waves of guys coming from all directions, well just to the left behind us is a set stairs going up to a lock door but its a two part stair case with a barrier so hiding up there making everyone funnel up the stairs so its harder for them to flank me.
Just nearly died, a guy on the other side of the courtyard just hit me with the shotgun but lucky not a kill shot. Just got two guys now with grenade launchers giving me trouble and no clear shot yet. Wait....think I did it, music as changed again and Elena is no longer on edge....woot! just found a treasure too next to the stair case. This time its a gold spanish chalice which looks very pretty lol and its my number eight treasure, I'm off to find another entrance into the library to find Sully. Another treasure in a side alley, Silver Coatimundi which is a very weird looking statue. This place is huge and the cathedral is amazing, finding it hard to believe this colony was just forgotten.
Another treasure on a balcony and unlocked the novice fortune trophy, this is a silver toothpick.
So just had a massive gun fight in the library and Sully is back on the team, still not 100% on the old bugger, time to find the treasure!
Moved all the statues to open the secret room to a...another library lol although did find treasure number elven which is a gold cup and cover. Ok just opening another secret passage but don't like the journal note leads to the land of the dead. Great going in by myself...recipe for disaster right there and oh level 14 now!
Found another treasure in one of the corners of the first room, ugly pot thing ... "Golden Inca Vessel". Anyway making my across a huge drop, although its very creepy very impressed with the graphics. But I am getting the feeling this treasure that is cursed is going to be undead, makes sense really with the corpses that found earlier in the sub that had been ripped apart and the body on the trap earlier with the reference he had been chewed on.
Feck ambush! military I didn't think they knew where this place was, scared the life out of me...although I was a bit naive since there is a flood light right bang in the middle of the room, should had warned me really if I was paying attention. Hmm the stairs have led me up inside the cathedral and its occupied with a small army, make matters worse I really need to go get ready soon.
Feck got flanked and dead, need to stop for the time being anyway to get ready for work
Right I'm leaving soon and since I'm doing a night shift I won't be back on later, will be back in the morning and there will be a huge gaming session since I'm determined to finish Uncharted this weekend and hopefully Green Lantern. Also I've got my stats to update along with two messages from Dragaknight with his challenge update to do, so see you in the morning for plenty of updates. Until then have a good one and thanks for reading my madness

P.S. Sorry if this post is massively random and messy but just typed while I played and did not really go back to format. Will try harder tomorrow, I promise!
