Whatever

I know I don't have a lot of people that read this shit, probably why I haven't updated it in awhile.

This summer is finally starting and the girls are going to be busy constantly, meaning I have to cater to their needs. If you AREN'T a parent, this is your warning. You become a slave to your kids wants/needs/desires. If you don't know this, get your shit fixed and stop fucking.

I have discovered that I truely have TOO many videogames. Becky picked up 57 N64 games , 4 controllers and a system....FOR 25 bucks. I'm hoping I can resell them on the internet and make a profit from them.


AS for 360, I have 663 games for the system. That is just stupid and I really need to stop. Its such a focus that it is almost starting to feel like a job and that is NOT good. I'm literally drowning in 360 games, I have multiple copies of the same games from 4 differenet countries in some cases.

Word of advice, don't do what I do. Play what you want and how you want.

And No Joel, you can't have any 360 games, maybe the other stuff though.

447 Days and Counting..........

Ok, I know I don't have a lot of people that read this blog. Oh well, I'm going to continue with it anyway just to put my thoughts onto a page that is something I can control. I don't like the colors of the page yet and I'm still working out all the links and crap. I'll get there, its just going to take time and focus from well....me.

I think I'm reaching a point of burnout of sorts with my pathetic life. I have played my 360 447 days in a row, that means that when Neleh was born, I still managed to log in to my 360 that day to save my days in a row streak. That means that over 15 months I have sat down and fired up my 360 at some point in time. Sad yes, I know.

The worse thing is this :
Current achievement streak: 90 days(Started on 01/21/2009)

That means that over the last 90 days I have played a game long enough to unlock an achievement in what ever it is. I have played some gems and some real garbage, I'm looking at YOU Hanna Montana. Yet, I keep going. Last night something struck a cord with me though. Becky looked at me and said, "You look tired, like REALLY tired". For the first time I think, I agreed with her in my state of consciousness. I work fairly long hours and have to deal with a lot of paperwork and people on a daily basis. This means I have to be up and at work when most people are just waking up. I also am still at work when people are normally done with their work day. Then I get home, have kids, dogs, Becky and other chores to deal with. Then I get time to play something.

So when do I sleep......normally I go to bed around 11pm CST and get up at 5am CST. But, between dogs, kids, Becky, etc I maybe actually sleep 4 hours tops a night. This includes Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays (Mondays are my day off) so really I go all day everyday from dawn until way past dusk. So what am I rambling on about.....frankly...I'm tired. No...gaming is still my favorite pastime, but I'm really tired.

I read about Stallion and him finishing 28 games in 28 days or whatever it was, I can't imagine doing that as with just my routine I'm running out of energy. I'm always tired and its starting to effect everything I do. I over schedule myself, I've been forgetting almost everything and I am over stressing during work.

Maybe I just need a break , I don't know. Maybe I see this as more of a journal entry today, even though I hate writing journals. I just need to get this out there to maybe tell myself that I need sleep. I know, your thinking OH boo fucking hoo. That my problems aren't that bad and they could be worse. You know what, your right. They could be worse....much much worse, but they aren't. To be honest I have it pretty good, I guess I'm just tired.

The Joys of Boosting and Kids games

I decided, foolishly, to start boosting Perfect Dark Zero. Now, mind you this is a launch title 360 game, one that was going to be the Halo 2 killer for the 360 and be the primere app for the new Xbox. Now, all I know that is Perfect Dark was a good game on the N64. This version, is Perfect if you play in the Dark. The ZERO is for the amount of fun you will have playing the game, ESPECIALLY in the multiplayer mode.







Lets just say that 1000 Team Games, 1000 Single Games, 1000 Dark-Ops games.....NOT fun. You can play them with a second controller, but seriously......thats about 2 minutes per game. This game is an utter piece of shit, the single player I don't even want to talk about. So, I'm not going to....fucking sue me.



I also fired up Monster's vs Aliens, this is actually a kids game that doesn't have to collecting 50 cookie jars or 100 hammers of some bullshit. Yes, there is a DNA "item" pickup, but they are not hidden in the game and you can replay the levels as needed to get more. This title makes PDZ really look like crap....yes I know 3 years newer title. I'm actually looking to playing a kids game with out running all over the damn place looking for a stupid item. There are no death achievements but, they don't look terrible considering the game mechanics are fairly well done.

The LOAD times though are terrible, way to fucking long for this type of game.







Lastly I fired up the Outrun Online. Its bascially Outrun 2 that was on the Xbox and PS2 with online tacked on. It plays well, like Outrun. If you suck at Outrun, you will suck at this game. I fall into the suck at the game catagory so I don't think I will play it much.

Oh well........

My Gamertag

Turns out that having Mightymango as a gamertag and attempting to make a blog with it is a big pain in the ass.

There is a Mightymango.com and a Mightymango Blogspot.

Maybe I should have registered this 5 years ago......

The Start of the Fruit Basket

Due to various language issues and other things, I've decided to start a blog separate from mine on 360voice.

This is mostly going to be a gaming blog, I'll throw reviews up here and opinions about all the good and piece of shit games I decide to play. There is quite a few of them and I'm pretty fucking opinionated so this should be an interesting test.

I'll probably throw some personal bullshit up here from time to time as well, but probably not that often because lets face it, I have a BORING life.
