ICandee Strikes Back and Actually Finishes a Game

Episode VII

I Totally Pwned Lego Star Wars II

When we last saw me, I was having difficulty beating this game as glitches were trying to destroy me.

Jedi Luke would miss a jump and then continually spawn in mid jump with no escape in sight...

Dagobah R2-D2 would slide down hills and not be able to get back up...

Dagobah Luke would get stuck behind a truck and not be able to move...

Someone would be in my way and I would shoot them...

*sigh*

But none of this stopped me!

I continued to fight the Force!

(The bad one, not the good one)

And yesterday I had victory over Lego Star Wars II for the Xbox 360...

To celebrate my triumph, here's a guy playing the Star Wars theme on a banjo:

Engamement Picture

It's hard to know what topic to hit on today as there is a lot going on: GRAW 2 is out! I fought Lego Star Wars II and Lego Star Wars II won! I have gaming engagement pictures or "engamement" pictures if you will...

OK, maybe I'll explain that last one first...

Anyone that's been reading this here blog for a while (you know who you are and I thank you) knows that my fiance and I met on Xbox Live and we're getting married this year. A "marriage made in Microsoft" I suppose. So as RuFfNeCk was down here in NC over the weekend, we went to get engagement pictures made. We got the usual poses taken (for the family and what not) but then...to immortalize our love (for games...and maybe for each other I have no idea) we took this one:


Ah yes, true love...

In Your Face Hitomi!

Well it's finally happened! After hours of relentless bathing suit shopping and volleyball playing, I unlocked an achievement in DOA Xtreme 2. Woo hoo!

When I first bought this game, I assumed that the achievements would be easy ones to unlock...Then I remembered Itagaki made this game and my hopes were dashed. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem working for my achievements. There's nothing like that feeling of, "Yes! I did it!" when that precious little banner flashes along the bottom of the screen. But for me, DOAX2 started to taunt me when I hadn't unlocked a single achievement after playing through multiple vacations as Hitomi (who, by the way, isn't even my favorite character but once I got going with her collection, I didn't want to start over again with someone else). Not to mention that Christie is my partner right now and she's mean...

Anyhoo, I now have an achievement in a game that refused to give me one for playing it non-stop for I don't even know how long. Ironically, if this game had no achievements, I probably would have just played through one or two vacations and then traded it in. Pure genius Microsoft!

*I can't wait to see Jay get 100% completion in this game.

By the way, for anyone currently playing this game, make sure you play it long enough for Zack to give you the "strange volleyball". Wow..
