Smash TV
May 1st
Ha, nice one. When I started it I got a “disconnected from Xbox Live” message, followed by a “you must download an update to play this game or you will be disconnected from Live” message. But it couldn’t download the update, because it already had disconnected me from Live. So I had to ignore the message, continue on into the game, sign in to Xbox Live, which then prompted the download message again, but this time it could actually download the update, because I was connected. Did you get that?
Wandered through the first one and a half levels slamming the continue button every five seconds.
Got some achievements along the way, including the high score one. (Score doesn’t reset when you continue, making it rather pointless.)
Oddly, my Xbox Live Leaderboard score is completely different from the in-game score. No idea what’s going there.

A couple of levels more.
It’s bloody exhausting and too much for me this evening.
Geometry Wars 2
May 1st
One of those days where every go is worse than the last.
And the first one wasn’t all that great.
I’m currently trying to download the Bankshot Billiards 2 demo, but Live is still slow as shite. Weird.

Got to level 8-4.
Better, but not good enough.
Xbox Live is being all slow and timing out when trying to get leaderboards and stuff.
Bah.

I can’t play it.
I’m so knackered from all the spring cleaning that I’ve been doing that I just can’t aim. Weird and annoying and I’m stuck on 8-2.
