The Daily Grind - Day Thirty Nine

Sunday 10th July 2011

Afternoon,
so hope everyone is doing ok, been busy all morning getting up yesterdays post and been trying out google+ so not had much time for gaming. But that will change starting now, first up before I even go into anything about news etc going to go play World of Warcraft and sort out the daily quests for today before I forget.

---------------------------------------------------------

Done and dusted, currently standing on 119 marks now so taking a guess here but think I will hit the next phase on Wednesday so cannot wait. Think I will call for the Talon Druids for my next phase, think they could open some air quests which could be pretty cool. While I've been doing the daily quests for firelands I've also been doing a quest in Mount Hyjal that goes towards an achievement. "The 'unbeatable?' pterodactyl: BEATEN!" achievement requires to do the daily quest 10 times and will reward me with a chirping box, think its a pet but not sure and cannot be bothered to look it up lol. The quest is right bang in the middle of the zone where I'm doing the fireland dailies so thought why not.

---------------------------------------------------------

Xbox360achievements.org have posted up the achievement list for Warhammer 40,000 Kill Team, really cannot wait to play this arcade game. Also hearing you get an unlock for Space Marines which is very cool and its coming out some time this month, joy!

Think I will pop on CivWorld for a bit, was really getting into the other day and hoping I've got a few more harvests now. Got a few new houses and gathered some more resources, still trying to get the hang of it to be honest.

---------------------------------------------------------

Time to start my next big game, Uncharted 2 baby! :) well after all the updates are done first.

Finally after ten minutes at least of updates I can now play and got to say love the opening scene and the title of the first chapter "Between a Rock and a Hard Place".

Nothing like hanging off a cliff in a wrecked train to get you started, oh Nate how do you get yourself into these messes.

A lost fleet of gold that mysteriously vanishes, you guys sure know how to get me hooked! love a good treasure hunter story.

---------------------------------------------------------

Onto chapter 2, I'm loving the flash backs and on how you slowly got into this mess.

Right just got into the museum to rob it lol and found my first treasure, a Byzantine Gold Coin which also unlocked my first trophy. Just did a little bit of climbing and found the second treasure, Glass Evil Eye...spooky.

Another treasure lol Ottoman Ring, finding these quickly and in fact I saw another one sparkling while the cut scene was on.

Sneaking my way through the courtyard and taking out guards, finally found the treasure I saw in the cut scene which was a Silver Amulet Box so that brings me up to number four already.

---------------------------------------------------------

Just making my way through a huge open courtyard and found another treasure in the fountain lol this time it was a Silver Belt Buckle. Got to say I'm loving the sneak take down moves
ah feck got caught lol

Hmm keep getting caught, must be a way around those two guards without getting seen. Ok try again and see what happens, ohh just unlocked the bare knuckle brawler trophy

Ok got past it by doing a very quick sneak attack on the balcony, have to remember that in the future. Tranquilizer guns now, should had these at the start to be honest...ohhh at treasure on the roof, can see the shiny from here lol.

After climbing up several walls finally made it to the treasure and it was a Ivory Chess Knight which now nets me the sixth treasure.

---------------------------------------------------------

Oh damn you Flynn! what is with Nathan and his good friends lol time to make a run for it, ohh wait a treasure lol Antique Pipe so now on number seven.

On chapter three now and Sully is back woot! missed the old bugger, going to save up for now since I need to get on with a few jobs.

---------------------------------------------------------

I'm back and did not get much done, oh well! lol time for some more Uncharted 2!

I'm now on chapter 5 and in Nepal, my god this game is 100% awesome! working through the jungle it amazed me on how good the graphics where, especially walking through the jungle water. The fight scenes are a lot better and love the finisher combos, then the truck chase scene at the start of the Nepal level was mind blowing. I really am ashamed of myself for not playing this earlier, this is why I want to play the 2011 games on day one when I purchase them because I keep missing out on gems like this!

---------------------------------------------------------

What a night, seriously not had a fun night like that in a long time. Played a ton of Uncharted 2 and now currently standing on chapter ten, been battling my way through Nepal and found Elena! shes back! now she missed us, ok maybe not. Would had gone on for a lot more but got hooked on watching a Starcraft 2 tournament final, basically a gaming league called NASL where hosting their season one and my god was it amazing.

Two pro gamers duking it, MC vs PUMA and I was on the edge of my seat cheering for MC, started off with Puma getting two wins then MC pulled one out of the hat for PUMA to take another win leading with 3:1 then out of no where MC dominates pulling it back to 3:3. Unfortunately it was not to be and PUMA won the last match winning the tournament, honestly amazing matches and wished they did a eighth match. First prize was $50,000 and second prize $25,000 dang thats a lot of money, anyway you can watch the tournament videos on the league website here! might have to make time to watch the other rounds now.

Right that's it for tonight, take care all and I will see you tomorrow morning so have a good one!
