BEEN A LITTLE LAZY WITH MY BLOGGING (#Gaming #Xbox)Permalink
I haven't made a post in a month. I was meaning to post, but I kept pushing it off. Oh I'll make a post tomorrow and then a month passes just like that. Although I have been keeping busy during that time. So the first quarter of the year is over and I took a look at my stats for the year thus far. It is an improvement over last year and if I keep up the pace I should double my gamerscore for sure. I have started more games then I have finished, but I did complete a couple of whoppers with Quake 4 and Titanfall on the 360. My TA ratio for the year so far is 2.49, that was a little surprising. It wasn't something I was tracking, but it stood out when I looked over the stats. Quake 4 sure was a helped in that department.

Played a couple of Betas for The Division & Doom. The teaser for Titanfall 2 was announced and in June we get to see a lot more hopefully. I am looking forward to that. I completed my first Xbox One challenge after many months of owning the One. Netflix actually fixed their broken App achievements. Now I just need YouTube and Popcornflics to do the same. I am progressing nicely towards some gaming milestones. If things go well I should have 10,000 achievements, 250,000 Gamerscore, and 250 completed games by the end of June. So things are happening. I just have not been very vocal about it.

NOW PLAYING (5)
Titanfall / Xbox One (18/88 Achievements)
I am having a good deal of fun while also make great progress playing this game again on the Xbox One. I have only played a handful of times and I already have 18 achievements completed without much effort. They just unlocked as I was having fun.

Grand Theft Auto IV (33/65 Achievements)
I have completed the game's story and have started free roam to clean up the other single player achievements. Currently clean up activity is me running through Liberty City and shooting pigeons and as usual Rockstar shows what production value means.

FlatOut Ultimate Carnage (38/45 Achievements)
I saw some sessions on TA for this game and was able to complete the last of the online achievements. I like racing, but playing GTA will gave me that driving fix. There are 7 achievements left in the single player which I will have to push myself to play and complete.

Neverwinter (31/71 Achievements)
My rogue is now level 60 and going through all the zone cleaning up quests and running into cool D&D monsters like the Gelatinous Cube and a Beholder. This game brings back memories from my childhood.

State of Decay: Year One Survival Edition (4/72 Achievements)
Challenge mode activated. This is the game I played to unlock my first Xbox One Challenge. This is one of the very few games that still use this feature on a monthly basis. The game itself actually looks like it will be a good deal of fun, but where do I fit it into my gaming schedule? Ugh, so many games...

QUICK MOVIE REVIEW (Retro Review)
The Transporter - 6
The Transporter has one of the funniest action scenes I have seen in some time. The doorbell rings and an annoyed goon comes to the door, looks through the peephole to see Jason Statham delivering a flying kick to open the door. Too bad the rest of the film was not as ingenious. This was a great idea for an action film, but about two-thirds into the story it just runs out of gas. The language barrier was another small hurdle to get over. Three of the main actors had degrees of accents that challenge your ears. Then we have the music, a deaf Tibetan sheepherder couldn't have chosen a worse selection of music for this film. PC
