Xbox 360

Jan 2nd

Well, Microsoft started 2006 the way they’ll probably go on by screwing us over. In this case, by resetting the Live scoreboards for all the games.

So I just played four of my Live Arcade games to at least get some sort of scores back on there and managed to get my best ever Geometry Wars 2 and Mutant Storm Reloaded scores. Result! (At least I think it’s my best Geometry Wars score, there’s no way to tell. But I’m pretty sure it was under 200,000, which I beat easily in my first game tonight.)

Got my second best ever Robotron score and couldn’t come close to my Joust score, though.

Unfortunately, none of my friends have played any of those games yet, so my friends rankings are bare.

Did a couple of races in NFS:MW while the box was on, too. Well, I won two and then came last in the next one I tried, so I turned it off. I’m petty like that sometimes.

I’ve just played for four hours or so without doing any story stuff at all, just exploring.

I’ve actually got ahead of myself, I think, and visited places I’m going to have to return to when the story requires it.

I’ve just got to where I should be, story-wise, though, and I’ve saved. I’ll dig in a bit later, after my eyes have had time to recover from extended screen-staring.

And I hate being really proud of a reciepe I’ve made up only to find it written down somewhere five minutes later.
