Video game minute.

 Over the weekend, I played Rise Of The Tomb Raider and I finished the story. So I was sitting at 67% for awhile and after I finished the story I was at 70%. So now I'm at three games finished for the 10 games for summer. Melissa and I played Captain Toads Treasure Tracker and we both came to the agreement that Mr. Toad will not be completed for summer and will removed from the list. We both were struggling playing it and we were having a brain fart over this game. So let's recap:

 Tomb Raider finished 4/3/16.
2 Call Of Duty Black Ops 3 4/24/16.
3 Rise Of The Tomb Raider 5/21/16
4 Grand Theft Auto 3
5 Lego Jurassic Park 
6 The Last Of Us 
7 Army Of Two The Devils Cartel
8 Captain Toad Treasure Tracker ❌
9 Heavy Rain 
10 Fry Cry Primal ❌ 
11 Grand Theft Auto Stories From Liberty City

 Looking at this list, holy shit I don't think I can finish it. Heavy Rain is hard as fuck anyways, GTA 3 has been kicking my ass and The Last Of Us is hard as fuck too. So I have no clue what games I'm going to keep or add to this list. I played some Last Of Us and I don't know how many times I died, but I got to a point with some asshole boss in the gym who throws skin bombs at you and I said fuck it and turned it off. Literally paused the game and turned it off. Video game rage is a real thing and admitting there is a parables is the first step. Ha ha, I'm still at a loss of what games to add to the list. I was thinking maybe Lego Avengers, but if I say fuck The Last Of Us, what else would I pick? The Nook and Ouya games are probably out as well. Writing this out is kind of depressing, so what, now I'm going to have "5" games for summer, but only easy ones!? Ha ha. I'll have to figure it out, till next time.

Weekend review for 5/21 - 22/16.

 Friday night, we went to our friends house for their birthday dinner. They made chicken enchiladas and it was amazing. After dinner, we played a new game called What's Yours Like? it was actually pretty fun. You have a word like toaster, then one person has get clues from everyone like mine is shiny. It was interesting. After the festivities, we headed home. We got home and we watched some shows and went to bed. 

 Saturday, we got up, had some coffee and I went to go rent Homefront Revolution from Redbox and I got us a now late breakfast, but actually lunch cause traffic was so bad. I got home and we after our lunch. After lunch I popped in Homefront. After we played games for a little bit, we watched some shows. Before we knew it, it was time for dinner. Our day flew by so fast, we hated that. We watched some more shows and we headed upstairs to stream a movie. After the movie, it was time for bed. 

 Sunday, we had our normal chores to do and I had to take the game back to Redbox and vacuum out the work truck and our new truck. After that, I came inside and tried playing some Last Of Us. Damn, that shit is hard. Melissa made an amazing dinner. So we had dinner and we watched some shows. After a little bit, we went upstairs and we watched the Fear The Walking Dead mid-season finale. Man I was disappointed. No spoilers, but damn, who chose this to happen? Who chose for what character did what? I was struggling to maintain interest when they were on the boat then the compound got better, but now this. Hopefully, the season can pick up after the break. Till next time.

Video game minute.

 Over the weekend, I got to play Rise Of The Tomb Raider and I was still only 67%, damn. This 10 games for summer is going to be a lot harder then I thought. To recap here is my list:

 Tomb Raider finished 4/3/16.
2 Call Of Duty Black Ops 3 finished 4/24/16.
3 Rise Of The Tomb Raider 
4 Grand Theft Auto 3
5 Lego Jurassic Park 
6 The Last Of Us 
7 Army Of Two The Devils Cartel
8 Captain Toad Treasure Tracker
9 Heavy Rain 
10 Fry Cry Primal ❌ 
11 Grand Theft Auto Stories From Liberty City

 So I took off Far Cry Primal cause it would have taken the whole summer to finish. So one game at a time is the plan, but then I saw that Homefront The Revolution is at Redbox. So I need to play this game cause it looks amazing and I was thinking about buying it anyways. I rented a couple games before from Redbox and it saved me $120 plus cause the games ended up being horrible. Thinking back now, I'm going to have to buy Duke Nukem ?? for my collection. I have no rhyme or reason to it, but I know what franchises I like. I might have to by the new Doom too. The trailer for Call Of Duty Infinite Warfare looks really good and it comes out November 4th. The funny thing was I told Melissa that I wanted one of these games to do like a world war 1 game and it happened! Battlefield 1 comes out October 18th 2016. How cool will that be with modern graphics and gameplay. I told Melissa I'm so excited to get new games. We also have to start working on Captain Toads Treasure Tracker and Lego Jurassic Park. I also have been thinking about trying the Wii U pro controller on my Nook, that would be pretty cool if it worked. So much to do and so little time to do it. Till next time.

Weekend review for 5/14 - 15/16.

 So on Wednesday, I had to go on a three day training course for work. It was really stressful and physically demanding. So Friday, after the training, it was time to recover and relax. Melissa and I took the new truck and drove to mc ds for some dinner. We're both still getting used to it and driving it. It is pretty cool that I can fit so well in it. I actually had to move the seat forward. We get home, have some food and we watched some shows. We headed upstairs and it was time for bed. 

 Saturday, we woke up and we had to run some errands. We got going and we hit Walmart first, after that, we went to get an oil change on the new truck. We were nervous on what they would find. It needed the fuel system cleaner and full synthetic oil. That added about $40 to the oil change total we used to pay, damn. We knew there would be differences in the gas amount and stuff, but were still getting used to it. After the oil change, we went to Costco. After Costco we went to Target and we got some Starbucks. We headed home and got some gas then we got Mod for lunch. After that we went home and we got to relax. I played Rise Of The Tomb Raider.  We popped in Deadpool and the hilarity insued. After Deadpool, we had some dinner, watched some shows and then we went to bed. 

 Sunday, we had our house stuff to do. We had to vote and we watched some shows. We made an Amazon order for a new smoke detector, so I can see what's going on with all that. Sunday night, we watched Fear The Walking Dead and we went to bed. That's why I got for now, till next time.

Weekend review for 5/7 - 8/16.

 Friday night, Melissa made biscuits and gravy for dinner. We had the amazing food and we watched a few shows and we went to bed. We both were just so exhausted from the week. 

 Saturday, we got up and we ran a few errands before heading over to Melissa's moms house for Mother's Day. We got some kfc for our lunch and we rented The 5th Wave. We had already seen the movie at the theater, but her mom likes science fiction movies. So we had our amazing lunch and then it was time to watch the movie. I hate the DVD player she had and sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. So guess what time this was? That's right, it didn't work. I took it apart and tried cleaning the laser and that didn't work. We tried streaming a movie, but her wifi was acting up and we could barley even go on Instagram on our phones. So I said hey, why don't we go buy a new player. I was going to bring one that we had at our house, but I forgot it. So we all headed to Walmart and I found a Sony for $30. Which is a super good deal. So we finally got to watch the movie. After the movie, it was time to head home. We stopped at Dicks  for some burgers. We got on the freeway and down near our exit, they're still working on the freeway so we were in some stop and go traffic. We ate our burgers in the car and no fucks were given. We hate people that eat in their car, but we had to join the ranks. We got home and we watched some shows and went to bed. 

 Sunday, we got up and knowing what I do now, we should have stayed in bed. Very long story short, all of my smoke detectors were flipping my out in one way or another and I changed all the batteries, but three of them still won't work. So I'm thinking that the detectors are going bad, so that's more money we have to spend on top of all the batteries that cost $30 on. So at least I have some working detectors and only have to replace three of them. I also had to change a part in Melissa's car. Her temperature sensor went bad. Very long story short, I had to buy a socket cause I didn't have one that fit, but I had to driver her car to get it. I had to wait till it cooled down to work on it. I dropped some tools and the check engine light wouldn't turn off until two times of disconnecting the battery. Basically, I was doing this all day and ended at 8:30 at night. We had an amazing dinner, watched some shows then went to bed. I was glad the day was over. Till next time.

Video game minute.

 So over the weekend, I played rise of the tomb raider. I finally got to 67%. I feel like this is going to take a long time to complete. I am trying to focus on one game at a time, but I have finished two games off of my 10 games for summer list. I still have a lot of summer to go to try and finish this list. So Call Of Duty is releasing a new game in November called, Infinite Warfare. So I did some research and there's one pack that costs $120 or so, it come with Infinite Warfare, Modern Warfare 1, a steel book case and dlc. Another set is $80 and it comes with Infinite and Modern Warfare 1. The other set is $60 is just Infinite Warfare. I was kinda hoping that Modern Warfare, would have been free, but most remastered games are $20, so it makes sense. I never played Modern Warfare 1 so this would be awesome to get. I bet the controls are going to be crazy. They have fine tuned the controls for the faster paced modern games. It sounds and looks like it's going to continue going all sorts of futuristic. Space travel, space battles and all that. I will definitely be purchasing this when it comes out though. I'm still waiting for news on Battlefield too. There's only a few games that will be guaranteed purchase for me. And now I have to factor in buying Live again too. There's a lot that goes into gaming now days. Well that's what I got for now, till next time.

Weekend review for 4/30 - 5/1/16.

 So Friday after work, traffic was absolutely horrible. It took me two hours to get home and it could normally take between 35 and 45 minutes. So after I finally got home, we made some pizza and we watched some shows. I started feeling like shit too. We went to bed a little early so we could get some sleep. 

 Saturday, we woke up and we had to get a lot done because Sunday, Melissa had her was to do and we had our nieces birthday party to do. We cleaned the house, I mowed the lawn, did the laundry and I set up our ac for the living room. I played some Rise Of The Tomb Raider. We watched some shows and Melissa went to bed early because she had her brain cancer walk to do in Seattle. I played some more Tomb Raider then a show and went to bed. 

 Sunday, I woke up and had some coffee. I had a few things to get ready for the party. Melissa came home and picked me up. We got to the party and started setting up. I was setting up the tables and chairs. The party started and we were all talking and hanging out. After the party, we cleaned up the room and put away the chairs and tables. We ran up to Walgreens to pick up some stuff. We got home and relaxed. I played some more Tomb Raider. We watched some shows we had some dinner and we went upstairs and we watched Fear The Walking Dead. I'm wondering how the season will play out. It took a weird direction with picking up Strainds boyfriends bodyguard or whatever. That was crazy. Well that's what I got for now, till next time.
