The Big 10K, Baby!

Yes, a gaming milestone is reached! Last night I hit 10.000 gamerpoints when playing Forza Motorsport 4. I thought I’d try out rivals mode, just for fun. Since I’m not the most skilled Forza driver out there, but far from the worst, I thought it’d take some serious effort beating an opponent.

I was wrong. After the first race, the “Rivals Shootout” achievement popped. I went on trying the other modes and strangely enough beat every rival, even in drifting! I can’t drift to save my life, let alone beat an opponent. Lady Luck favored me and I earned “Born Competitor” after a while. Two achievements I thought to be very difficult and time-consuming were bagged. ‘Twas a good night.

See you on the race tracks!

Title Update 2.0

For those of you gaming on the Xbox 360 console, the post title can’t be unfamiliar. When a game gets updated, a title update is downloaded. These updates contain bug fixes, new achievements and what not. Improvements on the game basically.

I recently picked up the Assassin’s Creed games again. Brotherhood in particular to finish the Da Vinci Disappearance DLC. How I’ve missed those games…

The last chapter of Ezio’s story, AC Revelations, will be released in November and I can’t wait to sink my teeth into it. In preparation, I’ve redeemed Uplay points and gotten a new, explorable area called the Auditore family crypt and a new, playable assassin character for multiplayer, the Hellequin (on the right, borrowed from the AC Wikia).

That’s it for now. Oh, and you won’t see me coming. You’ll just feel the cold blade ‘tween your shoulder blades…
