Back to Normal

So thankfully I am back to normal and am successfully dual booting XP and Vista due to compatibility of certain programs. With that said, I am also back into gaming.

Disney's Sing It

I have taken myself into the dreaded Disney world... well maybe I just felt like singing. I was actually very surprised at how easy they made this game to adapt to those non-singers and most of the songs are very easy to follow, especially if you know them from watching the Disney movies. I think I will try to pick up the High School Musical 3 Sing it next. Unfortunately for me, I only have one mic so I am trying to get a hold of a 2nd mic so I can finish off the last 5 achievements.






The Bourne Conspiracy is my next game to tackle to get achievement points off of. Although not the best game in the world it is still a little entertaining. We shall see how difficult it holds up to getting the full 1000 points off of it.

Achievement Tip of the Day

So I know I havent dont one of these in a while but here is a small tip for you. Since I have been playing Disney's Sing It, I will share some of the little tips I have gained. First of all, you will need 2 mics momentarily to get ALL the achievements but as far as Duet Mode goes, you can still just sing by yourself on only one mic. Now one of the hardest achievements in this game is the one where you must score 750,000 points on a song in "On your Own" Mode. To do this, I am offering 2 ways to do it:

1)Sing a song in solo mode, and record yourself on your PC (Every Windows OS has a voice recorder and yes you will need a PC mic as well) so you can look at the pitches and play it back while in the mode you are suppose to be in and put the Xbox mic up to your speakers. For some of you that might be painful to hear.

2) The old fashioned way. Learn a song, get good at it and Memorize, Memorize, Memorize. Thats how I did it, but Im also a fan of Camp Rock and High School Musical (Don't judge me!!!)

Assassin's Creed

Wow!!! What a flashback. I had not touched this game in 6 months and I came back to it and finished the last two achievements, "Keeper of the Four Gospels" and "Personal Vendetta". The templar achievement was especially difficult due to the fact that I was only missing one and I did not know which one it was. I was SOOOOO LUCKY to find him in the port of Acre. None the less, I am glad to have another game at 100%, even though it was only 60G. Of course since I am finishing this game, I also bring you useful information about this game with:

ACHIEVEMENT TIP OF THE DAY

Seeing how difficult it is to keep track of all these flags, I was lucky enough to find a site to help me out. This site will not only help you locate all the flags, but it will also pop up an interactive picture of the location of the flag and also allows you to check boxes below that area so you can keep track of it. Those check marks actually stay saved on your cookies for you browser so you do not have to do it in one sitting. Its a great site to use to help you keep this game organized.

I hope this helps and enjoy!!!

Achivement Unlocked!!!

So if you read my twitter, I have finally completed Just Cause. It's a great game, but I am truly glad I will never have to play that game again. These achievements probably took me a lot longer than they should have but that darn Race #7 was almost impossible if I had not used the gyrocopter, and the settlement that is furthest south was also just impossible with tanks coming up to you the second you start the mission. None the less I AM DONE.

So now to a special report:

ACHIEVEMENT TIP OF THE DAY

Now that I have earned the achievement, I get to share with everyone here. We all know the Gears of War 2 achievement "Suicide Missionary" that is worth 150G can take a really long time unless you are just amazing at the game and have one shot kills all the time. Well, just because you have to have insane difficulty does not mean your buddy has to. Thats right!!! I'm telling you to play Co-op and have them be on casual difficulty. No it will not hinder the achievement and it will make the process so much easier. The enemies will be more prone to your buddy's weapon and he/she will not take as much damage so quickly like you would on insane. Keep in mind that you are still on insane mode, so take cover and stay alive.

That is it for today!!!!!!
