Lots to Play

Afternoon folks,
Been one of those weird weeks this week so I'm happy to say I'm off for a few days now, time to chill and game of course!

So let's talk about my gaming last week and what I want to do this week, well my plans for Lego Lord of the Rings did not go to plan like I had hoped but it's not too bad. After my post last week saying I really need to work on this game I realised I've had the disc for nearly a month, well since I'm renting it this does increase the cost the longer I have it (still cheaper then buying it though). Anyway so my plan was to complete two of the story levels each day since the game as three movies with six levels, I had already done a few levels so with this plan I should had clocked the Fellowship of the Ring by the end of the week and nearly done the Two Towers. Then my plan was to have a long session on one of my days off to finish the story off, then that leaves the hard part of doing all the collecting which I could work on next week.

Of course things went wrong so yesterday I finally finished the Fellowship and today the Two Towers with the Return of the King still waiting to be played. Hopefully after writing this post I can get the last six levels done but I do have some gaming plans later. But good news is least I'm working on the game and made some progress.

So that's my one game I'm playing but my main game is Skyrim which yes I'm still playing, I'm like one quest hand in from catching up from when I first played it. Really enjoying the game but I am spending way too much time having to make trips back to the vendors to sell my loot that I keep gathering. I cleared out a mine the other day which had a bandit camp in, should be around a ten minute job to clear it out but I had to do four trips back and forth to sell everything I looted.

Having a great laugh with it anyway and again I'm hoping to get a small session in today, I really want to get the next quest done which will mean I've gotten up to where I was last time. But the reason I keep saying I hope to do things is because I have plans to play Minecraft with a mate later.

I want to start up a community map and make it a regular thing again, I had a lot of fun when the game came out with mates so I want to get it up again. Especially with it being the 1st Birthday for the Xbox version, I even have two projects I want to build on the side as well which I will talk about another day. Speaking of the Minecraft Birthday check out the video below for the Official Xbox Magazine server party, they have a dedicated xbox switched on most days with a map that's been running for a year. This video shows off the first part of the other night where they celebrated by building awesome stuff and of course doing a tour of the world they got. I love all the amazing projects that people have built and how they made a city to link them altogether, I want to do something like that.



Well I'm going to call it for now folks since I really want to get some gaming in before I jump into my marathon multiplayer session, so have a good one and I will try to get another post or two up tomorrow morning.
