The Daily Grind - Day Thirty Three

Afternoon,
No daily grind yesterday I know, well actually there is part of one sitting in my draft section but I did not feel like it was a good post, so what happened yesterday will be mentioned here with today's.

It was a good day for gaming for a lot of reasons, first up I tried out the beta for Uncharted 3 and it was pretty sweet. Spent most of the time playing Co-op Arena mode with Adwil which I realised later was the first time we actually played a game together. Known each other for a year at least, spend most of are time if not all of it talking about games and now only just played a game lol need to change that and make into a regular thing.

Anyway while I was playing the beta I did come to conclusion that I will not be working towards the unlocks for retail, I loved playing the mode but I will be getting the game for single player mostly. If I do unlock anything then great but if not, I'm not going to be fussed about it.

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

Other then the beta I did play a few games, did my daily stuff in Warcraft and still nothing off Lord Ahune but to be honest I lost all hope on getting anything in those bags. Also saw a table chart for the fireland dailies which lists that it takes roughly 10 days to unlock the next phase, so done two and will be number three when I'm done today so a week from now.

The weekend is also doing a ton of exp events in a load of games so I did jump onto a few but to be honest I felt like I was wasting my time and could put the effort on the games I really need to play instead. For example I tempted Halo Reach daily challenges achievement, it requires you to finish all the challenges for the day. Must had spent at least four to five hours and still had two challenges out of the five left, so decided I will keep an eye on the daily challenges and wait for a easier day (if there is one).

So on that note I jumped onto Bulletstorm, to be honest it was quite late in the evening when I booted it up and was not expecting to get anywhere with it. I was lucky though and realised there was only few levels left, so spent the last few hours of the day just having a giant marathon. Thanks to that Bullestorm PC is now finished! don't want to spoil the ending so if you want to know what happens go and play it.

Anyway with that I'm going to go update my stats for the challenges and my year progress.

Bulletstorm is number 32 for games completed this year and the 11th new release I've clocked, bad thing is though I picked up Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3 so my percent did not rise a lot thanks to that (currently sitting on 28%). Also the game was on my summer challenge list so that was number three of fourteen so 21% completed so far, not going well to be honest since end of August is the deadline and got quite a few large games to play.

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

Going to pop onto Warcraft for a bit to do the daily stuff before I forget.

Currently standing on 51 tree marks after that run, so 10 days is about right really. Had to laugh though, one of the quests has you go out and heal wounded soldiers on the battlefield. Of course there is only a few of that spawn and a ton of people trying to do the quest. Spotted one wounded npc spawn so started to run over and this orc hunter decided to his fast speed buff so he ran past me, would had been annoyed if I wasn't a druid who could heal from a far better luck next time idiot!

No pet from Lord Ahune so that's another year without any luck, oh well maybe next year...

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

Going to call it for today, got to dash off and meet the girlfriend. So have a good one folks and will catch you all tomorrow evening after I finish work, no doubt I will be doing a gaming marathon. Until then have a good one!
