Finally the day came where I was able to afford getting a 360 again. I have been trying to figure out exactly what I wanted to pursue more. I have determined that even though I love music I would rather keep it as a secondary hobby and focus on gaming and game journalism.
Friday 'happened' and all of a sudden I had money burning a hole in my pocket and I had been wanting to pick up the 360 prior to going to work and get a few hours of play in before I had to leave.
My paycheck landed onto my card around 11:45 i put some "outside" clothes on (I usually run around my apartment in sweat pants and a t-shirt) and head over to Granite City where a 24hr Walmart store is located. I stopped at my local Circle K gas station to get an energy drink (since the plan was to be up till about 5, get a couple hours of sleep and head to work) and while I was there, a cop pulls up and starts frisking a man who was standing outside of the store.
I drive all the way out to Granite City which thankfully is a straight shot from my apartment and not too long of a drive (about 15 minutes).The sad part is that when I reached Granite City, Walmart twas closed. This made me pissed and happy. Pissed because I would have to wait till after work to purchase my 360 and happy that I could at least get more sleep for work.
And then work happened...:(
Clocked out right on time headed towards home to my local target and picked up my new 360 Elite and Assassins Creed dos.
The reset of the weekend has been a mixture of movies and gaming. AC2 is absolutely amazing and I have very little negative to say about it. Although one bug or glitch or whatever I run into from time to time is when I do a leap of faith off of a view point rather than doing the leap of faith I fall to my death. More than likely its something that I am doing wrong. This and a couple of weird camera herks and jerks that have also killed me are all that I can complain about right now. The tons of side missions and quests that are available feel original and I am glad that every new mission I take feels like I have never done it before.
I am about half way done. I am wanting to finish before Tuesday since Mass Effect 2 comes out. Then my life will be complete until March 9th when Final Fantasy 13 comes out. This is going to be a great year for gaming. 2009 sucked for a lot of reasons, 2010 will be the shit!
