Requisite Monday Sigh....

I think I scolded someone last night in a CoD match for bringing up Monday. That's my new rule. No face-booking about Monday on Sunday. No whining about it. No talking about it. If we don't acknowledge it, maybe it will just go away?

Nope. Doesn't work.

Instead, the first thing I did this morning was plan my next vacation. August 6th through August 14th. OMG. I can't wait. Chicago, I'll see ya. Then a week to "rest" afterwords. It's hard to burn that much PTO. I just like to hold onto it and know it's there. lol. But it's use-it-or-lose-it here AND they just added a limited PTO in 4th quarter policy - so August it is.

Onto the games stuff....

CoD

Good games this weekend clanholes. I finally rolled over last night just after 11pm. Woo hoo Thompson. Brrrr. bang bang! Shot my bazooka in the middle of the sub map because I forgot I lost betties. lol.

XBLA this week

So Battlefield 19something. People are talking about it. Never played it on PC. Sounds interesting. Maybe? Will play demo and buy if the friends list does. You?

Ghostbusters

Overall - it's an okay-ish/good game. The ghost wrangling mechanism kinda sucks if you're not doing slam dunks or tethers. It just takes too long. And wtf! - Most of the game is pretty easy and you just sort of, truck along. But there are 2-3 parts that are just stupidly hard that throw off the whole flow of the game. Like the possessed party and now the gargoyles in the cemetary that you have to tether to the archway. Drives me mental. I almost gave up playing through, but it's a super short game and the achievements are pretty easy.

Word to those that haven't played it yet - play it on EASY. The achievements are the same as normal difficulty.

Worms 2

Still sucks. On one game my first worm spawned under a map piece. I would have had to use a torch and waste my turn to get out. Instead, I thought I was try the emergency teleport which randomly teleports all your worms. Yep, got teleported to a mine which bounced me to another mine and yet one more! My worm died. Fuck this game. (Oh, and the achievements suck ass!)

The stone angles at the gate: You don't need to use the slime tether, you can wrangle-slam too, or even easier, just put your back right up to the gate and move from side to side. When those stone bastards go to divebomb you and miss, they explode on the gate :) The possessed party was annoying... but, oddly enough I got past it first go when I did my professional run - I guess I got better by then :)

Thanks Kez - I'll try that tactic. I gave it a break at that part because I kept dying. And I've gotta be close to the end!

BF1943 is a must-buy for me. It will allow you to host private rooms on EAs servers (if you have at least 16 people). It uses an upgraded Bad Company engine, so it will be interesting to see the destructibility on the 1942 maps. The biggest complaint about Bad Company was the matchmaking/teamchat, which 1943 has addressed. Looking forward to it very much. I enjoyed Worms2, though so take my opinions with a grain of salt. The only thing it was missing was the ability to switch worms. You do get stuck with the worm the game chooses for you, even if a different worm was in a better position. I beat the campaign on Thursday and my son and I played it a ton over the holiday weekend.

It was me you fussed at about Monday. You were right, it's rained all day, I had to drive 200 miles, and it's still extremely hot. Could have saved that for a few hours
