After working 70 hour weeks shit kind of catches up with you. i have actually caught myself about to fall asleep last thursday while driving home for the night. its a scary reality. No boosting sessions, no hang outs, no weekly catch up with my peers, just flat out non stop work. And when I wrap up my work for the week on a sat around 2 or 3 pm i come home with all the plans in the word for what i am going to accomplish, but I seem to have two drinks and flake out till the evening. I have had to leave my xbone at the workshop full time as off late because i have no time to transport and set up at home with my schedule, so it made sense to leave it there and do my bean diving from the one spot for the time being, cutting it close a few times as i have been waiting for my game of the day to download? But we 3 are still here going strong... BRING ON DAY 1000!

The only physical purchases for the past week or so were Batman: Arkham Knight Achievements Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition Achievements and Quantum Theory Achievements (only cause i seen monkey dive it!) and i hadnt started it yet... With the GTASC ramping up i am actively looking to get all the xbone 1 hour bangers dived in the next few weeks. Since the bean dive began in 2013 i have always concentrated in 360 disc games, then arcade games, with leaving the new platform to last. but the sharp spike in the cut off each week has me rethinking as of late. IS IT A BANGER?

For everyone that isnt an aussie this is Karnivool One of the great australian bands that keeps getting plugged as our version of TOOL! which i would imagine is thought of as a complement and endorsement of their talent and unconventionalism in the mainstream music landscape. Picked especially for my BEAN DIVING BRETHREN!

"If this is entertaining
I hope you enjoy the view

Wide awake
And still asleep
I'm failing this riddle in my head, I
I'm failing to get it
Can you say?
Honestly?
Wide awake
And still asleep

Don't leave this too long
(It won't take long)
Tomorrow will come
(Hang around)
You won't have to wait long
(We'll rise up again)
It's your day in the sun

They've shown up again
They've shown up again
They've shown up again
They've shown up again"

Yep late as usual! Work is off the chain, I have barely been able to keep myself in the AHPEBD, let alone help my teammates in the GTASC. We passed 900 days in the bean dive and i didn't even notice till after. Things are heating up for sure though, with the cutoff getting higher and higher every week it is starting to get interesting. I think i might have to start forward planning from now on just in case. Lately i have left my daily bean dive till after lunch my time which only leaves me a couple of hours while at work to unlock something. ( I always work better under pressure) with the 3pm local cutoff for me I have been without an achievement with under an hour to go about ten times this month easy!. Just poor planning.

This is awesome! As far as the movie world portrays us we are behind the ball in technology and advancements, Marty McFly had the stuff in a movie 25 years ago, Tom Cruise had the new Xbox one kinect interface in Minority Report 13 years ago? Do i make sense? Now I love vegemite. I could live on vegemite on toast, i think i eat it at least three times a week but this was an experience. I dont generally eat sweet things, i dont have a sweet tooth at all i prefer salty foods but i had to try this. To be honest i could not taste the vegemite at all. It just seemed like chocolate?

Thats a nice haul for the month. I am sporadic in my purchases, i will go long times without purchasing any new games and then ride the sales into fruition. I did take advantage of a bunch of trade ins to go towards the plunder. Plus Im a huge believer in writing shit down. Be it goals, games you want, things you need to accomplish for the weekend, budgets or lists, im a huge list maker. Some people could say forward envisioning, i say if you dont write it you dont deserve/want it?. Last months list is almost complete gamewise, businesswise and personalwise so im way ahead of my goals in real time, if you think about it? A special thanks to InigoMontoya80 for the help finding monster jam and family game night. Plus on my weekly run of the thrift shop i found top gun??? WTAF? i was about to order it from ebay, I also saw a PAL copy of secret service? If you put two and two together i would say there might be another gamerscore addict in Townsville? interesting? Just started to feed my reality TV addiction with celebrity big brother UK and trying to get presale tickets for the newly announced UFC card in melbourne you will likely hear from me sooner rather than later... toast

"Yo, it goes science
Yeah science is amazing
But not to me though cause I am sick of waiting
I've been patient
I really have, I've been reasonable
Now it's time to say what I needed to
Dear science, cheers for the iPods
White goods, yeah thank you for the cyborgs
Top work on the light bulb
That was quite cool
But where's my hoverboard?
I mean I know you've been busy
But no hoverboards just seems a bit piss weak
I got a brand new computer and a big screen
I guess Back to the Future was a dick tease
And I can't be the only one
Maybe everyone forgot but I am holding on
The hovercraft was a solid start
Shoulda stuck with it, hoverboard
Where the fuck is it?"

Yessss! its a long weekend here in Townsville for the show holiday. Even though i have to work tomorrow and monday its still all good. As a business owner this weekend is really the end of financial year break, as opposed to where it landed on a wednesday. A lot has been going on lately, much more than i can fit into one blog post anyway. So look out for more. Lets see, my Xbox Juan broke, i had to send it away and got back a really noisey one in exchange, day 850 came and went in the achievement hounds potentially endless bean dive, and I have only one friend left in the leap frog Mephisto4thewin , in its tenth week, up to 80 achievements a day to stay alive! thats crazy

I have not spent money on new games in a while, maybe months. Although you cant pass up the weekly "Crime Converters" run. Meth heads rob houses and sell their wares to cash converters for cash. Then i roll in every monday and snap up 360 games for $9.95 a throw. BARGAIN! G1 Jockey and Anarchy Reigns i found for $10 new at JBHIFI and shout out to my boy Franco 4 127hrs for the bioshock hookup!

This weekend the plan is to put the head down and finish off a stack of titles both new sherlocks, far cry 4 and a V.N that has to be moved on to its next owner. Plus others with one or two achievements left in that i can trade in next week and capitalise on some great sales at EB games and JB at the moment. Heaps of good new blockbusters that i am looking forward to picking up in the coming weeks and never finishing.. I have also had some issues with my credit cards with recently a couple of unknown transactions being traced back to their source so with them resolved this week now i can finalize a couple of purchases from friends on TA and some ebay wish list stuff i have held off on recently. I can predict it will be a high chance of raining games into my mailbox over the next 7 to 21 days. I just signed up for EA access tonight and will hopefully rectify and restore my rental plan tomorrow plus with the xbox summer sale incoming and great sales on this week its all happening. During work in the morning i am on the hunt for an external HD for my 360 maybe 1 tB? thats what i have been running on my X1 We shall see, both my 250g pal xboxs are full so this is the next reasonable step. Plus i can maybe make out its for business purposes clap

This used to be a typical friday night for me years ago, jammin under a mates house, a typical defense force two story house, identical to the one in the video. If you have seen one you have seen em all! Good times. See you all again soon..

"I can't fight it I can't hide
Will you take me over
Little devil run around inside
Will you take me under
I can't breathe if I cannot see
I can't see if I can't breathe"
