Hello Everyone,
i just thought id update you all on what ive been playing recently :)
Im sad to say that an unfortunate accident took the life of my UFC Undisputed 2009 game. Last friday night while i was playing the game against a guy at work, another guy we work with tripped over a controller cord and shifted my Xbox360, causing the game to skip. when i tried to restart the game, it wouldnt load so i took it out of the system and looked at it. Apparently when the system shifted it sent 2 scratches all the way around the disc . Everyone expected me to get mad and go crazy, but it didnt bother me, im not the type of person that gets mad about stuff like that lol. I can always buy another copy of the UFC game, so its no big problem. We use the wireless features of my controllers now, to ensure safety , and longevity of my system and other games lol.
Since my UFC game has been out of commision for this week, me and the guy i work with have continued playing from our last Checkpoint on Gears of War for Xbox360. We have found new love for the game by using the Xbox 360's Custom Soundtrack capabilities. Ill explain what the Custom soundtrack option is :)
If you have music/songs saved onto your Xbox360 harddrive, while playing just about any 360 game - you can open the xbox360 menu by using the button on your controller and then go to the Windows Media center tab. From this tab you can go down to where it says "Select Song" and go directly to the list of music on your harddrive and choose songs or playlists to play. Once you choose the music/playlists and start playing them, you can go back to playing your game with your music playing in the place of the videogame's background music :) you can still hear the videogames sound effects and everything, just with different BGM.
A couple of days ago i uploaded my Underworld: Evolution Movie Soundtrack onto my 360 and we have been playing that soundtrack while we play Gears of War, which has been pretty awesome because it has enhanced the amount of fun we have been having while playing the game lol. Myself and the guy at work have also agreed that the music has somehow made us better at the game as well - which is hard to prove or explain - I guess it helps us focus more or something like that, but its clearly obvious because we've gone through 2 of the Harder Acts in the game since then without dying once lol.
Today the guy i work with unlocked an achievement for killing a certain amount of enemies with the Chainsaw Beyonet, so that was pretty exciting, especially because he use to have alot of trouble with the controls when he first played the game a few months back when i bought it. Now he chases after enemies trying to cut them up with that thing lol. We are hoping to finish the game tommorrow on lunch at work, so im sure it'll be another fun night, thats for sure lol. Ill be sure to keep you all updated on our progress of the game as we continue :)
Once we finish Gears of War, ill probably be buying Gears of War 2, so we can keep on going :)
Well i thank you all for visiting and i sure hope to chat with you all soon :)
stay strong,
Yamcha
