Boom! - splat! - done!

Finished MOH Airborne. Not such a bad-ass shit-fest that I was expecting. While there was around seven Elite troopers in the area, they didn't pose as big a problem as expected. The first Elite you can just run past and forget about - he won't chase you (unless you go for the ammo/shotgun in the loft). The next two pairs marched lockstep, heel to toe, and were easily taken out by a few gammon 'grenades'. After those - just run until you find the detonator, trigger it, and boom! End of game.

Nothing to it. Three or four tries and I was done.

Bloody Tuesday...

I'm referring to the markets - they are taking a beating in early trading. Kind of predictable after yesterdays international market drop. The Fed's are doing all they say they can do - a .75% drop on key interest rate.

But very few of you probably care about it.

Time for the weekly recap from 360voice.

Well...

Got MOH:Airborne playing on the 360, so the condo is full of cursing.  MOHA is sort of like COD 2.8 (or so). You play a member of an Airborne squad during WWII. Listen to a briefing, get your loadout, then jump and try to land somewhere 'safe'. There are checkpoints, but they are far and few between so be prepared to 'chute on in again & again (at first, then even more-so later on). It'll occupy my time for a while and give me some outlet for aggression & frustration.

Damn it!

This was a weekend for getting things done. Unfortunately, not for slacking off and playing the 360.

On Wednesday I finally remembered that CC was having a big game blow-out. I decided to get some exercise and walk over (.75 to 1 mile, one-way). A whole three games for the 360 were still in the bin - Bomberman (meh), Bionicles Heroes (lame) and The Outfit (?). So I picked up The Outfit. It has something to do with WWII so it can't be horrible. Well, maybe I'll try it out when I get really bored with TF2, COD4 and C&C3.

Etc...

Nothing new on the gaming front. Still playing TF2 or COD4 (usually arcade). Maybe I'll get back to C&C3 over my weekend.

Despite GameFly opening a distribution center in Tampa, they are still rather slow in acknowledging that I have returned a game. I would blame USPS for some of the slowness, but Tampa is only a 6-8 hour drive away (coast to coast in Fla), so an item shouldn't take more than 2-3 days (not incl Sunday) to get over there. Well, no big rush, I guess.
