Black Ops II and Stuff

This past weekend Steam had a free weekend for Black Ops II. I immediately downloaded the game and started playing around on it. After a couple of hours of actual fun I decided since the game was on sale, I was going to buy it. So far I’m like level 33 and I’ve been unlocking guns and random gear to try out but I haven’t really been using all of my unlock tokens. I haven’t seen a huge reason to use them all up yet. I have tried out the live streaming options that the game came with. I can stream perfectly to twitch and I can also try really really hard to stream to youtube but that shit doesn’t work. Nope. The twitch stream is instant and super easy. The youtube stream barely works and is almost impossible to find on your channel. Not sure why though.

 

I downloaded Crysis 3 and 20 min into playing I realized I had made a mistake. Not a fan at all.

 

I downloaded DMC and it’s actually a pretty fun game. The game has no purpose other than being a fun hack-n-slash, but it’s often fun to play those types of games. Just shut your brain off and mash buttons.

 

I’m really excited to play the new Tomb Raider, as well as the new BioShock. Both of these games appear to be interesting and have a good story line to them. I think it’s been a while since I’ve been this excited to play a game.

 

I’m going to bed. Later.

 

 

Reviews from tonight

Dinner and a movie.

Escape From Planet Earth: This movie was horrible. It was completely cheesy, full of stupid jokes and puns. The writing was bad and the blatant advertising was worse. If the people making this had taken half of their budget they spent on graphics and poured it into writing and proper voice acting they might have had a decent movie. God damn this movie sucked.

Los Chiludos: We usually eat at El Campesinos when we’re in the mood for Mexican. But I thought it would be nice to try something different tonight. Man was i wrong. Wrong wrong wrong. This place is probably perfect for lunch in the area that its located in. There is nothing else around except for office buildings and businesses. It’s setup to provide a fast delivery of sustenance to people on the go. You’re expected to know what you want as soon as you walk in. You are greeted by a person at the register who will take your order and your money there and then they bring it out to you. There is no waiter/waitress to check on your meal or refill your drinks. They bring you your food and then they leave you alone.

The food was mainly bland. The appetizer chips and salsa was very good. Their mango salsa was delicious, the cheese salsa was bland. The rice was soft and sweet, the chicken chimichanga was bland and boring. The fish tacos were bland and soggy. The chipotle ranch sauce was weak and and added very little to the meal.

It was all just bleh. The whole night was bleh. One disappointment after another.

Avoid both.

I wonder what it would be like

What would it be like if I was happy a majority of the time? Out of my whole life I’ve never been through a whole year where I’m sure I was happy over 60% of the year. There’s always been something that keeps holding me back. Either I’m loving life with my family and I’m in a shitty job or the job is good but I’m having issues with my family. It’s never been all good.

I wonder what that would feel like.

Would the world stop spinning?

After writing that question I went on a 15 min journey through the internet finding out the answer to, “What would happen if the earth stopped spinning?” And that’s how I want to die. I don’t want the effect to harm anyone else, I just want to be launched into space from the earth at a speed of around 1,500 mph. That would be cool.

Gaming Slump

Over the past two weeks I’ve come to realize I don’t want to play video games at the moment. I sit here at my desk thinking about my progress in XCOM and my friends playing WoW but I’m not feeling that extra push to actually start up any of these games.

 

I have been watching a little bit of TV and a couple shows that I’ve got saved up. I recently finished Elementary. That was pretty good. It wasn’t as good as the BBC Sherlock, but it was still pretty decent. I gave the BBC Sherlock a 9/10 and the Elementary show a 7/10.

Side note: Luther from the BBC is also an awesome show. I definitely suggest this show as well as Sherlock to people. Both are on Netflix and Amazon Video.

The Mentalist is another show that I’m behind on. I used to love this show and it always felt like a guilty pleasure for me. I know how cheesy it is and I just don’t care. I need to watch most of season 4 and all of season 5.

30 Rock. Also behind. Season 6 & 7.

Bones. Season 8.

I am not behind on Archer tho. That show is amazing.

I am getting Oliver Stone’s Untold History of the United States. It sounds promising. I’m a huge fan of American history. The gritty, honest one that you don’t learn about in history class. I’ve read A People’s History Of The United States by Howard Zinn. It was an enlightening book and also very educational.

Quick Edit: I cannot wait for Game of Thrones. I am soooo excited!

I think that’s about all the news I can update with. Everything else is the same. Working, kids, wife and my computer.

Peace

Posting From My Phone

Hopefully this new app I just installed will cause me to update my blog just a little bit more often than I was.

Which was never…

Battle Pets

Battle Pets

I was done. I was out of the game. It had been a year since I played. One scroll of resurrection and I’m back at it again…

 

I was in the middle of playing Borderlands…

 

I really mocked blizzard when they said they were going to come out with pandas as a race. But man, they know how to put out an expansion. After listening to my friends play over vent for a week I was kinda happy to be getting that scroll of resurrection. This was a fun expansion. There’s no doom and gloom of some boss that is going around causing problems. At least not at the beginning.

 

I leveled my hunter first. Then my priest. My hunter has always been my go-to character. I have all of the spirit beasts tamed and also a lot of the elite pets that came out during cataclysm.  Just today I was down in Tanaris and I tamed Harakiss the Infestor. Collecting these hunter pets has always been a big driving force behind me playing WoW. So it would just seem natural to fall into the Pet Battle system installed in the latest expansion. This shit is awesome. I have almost every pet that’s tameable in game. 381 out of 475. I’m finding it harder and harder to get to 400 without buying some TCG Loot Cards or some $10 pets off the blizzard store. But I guess that’s what they want me to do.

I am going to go get some Chipotle and some sweet tea. Out!

So… This isn’t working out.

I really thought I’d be able to work/husband/father/play video games AND blog at the same time.

 

Seems like there aren’t enough hours in a day to do all this.

 

Updates not coming soon.

FamilyAggro is back.

I am working at the moment and I am also trying to play as many video games as possible, along with being a father and a husband. Updates will be very few and not very many.

 

Sounds exciting right?

 

Beau.
