BULLET TIME! *Pew pew*
- Just finished playing some Super Mario Galaxy. Still having a really good time with it, although, and maybe it's just me, but controlling the little plumber is sometimes difficult, more so with the swimming. But perhaps it's just the transition of using two control devices instead of one combined device. It hasn't been taking anything away from my enjoyment of the game really.
- Also played a bit more of COD4's campain on Veteran today. Finally made it through the Charlie Don't Surf level, and boy was it worth the 40 gamerscore. I'm now on the Hunted level (I saved the farmer btw, :D).
- Prior to that (like as soon as I woke up this morning), I got into some more Puzzle Fighter on XBLA. I'm attempting to unlock every achievement in the game except the win 20 ranked matches one; because XBL users are lame and nobody plays it online :P. So today, I unlocked the achievement in which you're supposed to beat the 'Y' or 'Z' mode on Hard or Expert difficulty. This mode is actually more frantically fun than the standard 'X' mode, plus the 10gamerscore helped. Hey, any achievement is a good achievement.
- Lastly, I've been reading and researching on the VGA HD/AV Cable for the 360 from Microsoft. I really want to start playing in HD, and my monitor is pretty good, plus I don't have the money to shell out for an HDTV. Plus, my PC's LCD monitor is a 20.1'', while the standard TV I've been using is a 19''. So that's one win there I guess. I use the DVI input for my PC so the VGA would be perfect to take the other port. Every piece of feedback or review I've been seeing from folks state that it's a fantastic option and it appears much more crisp than a standard TV. So, I'm going to make the jump to purchase the cable soon. I just need a way to make 40 bucks, probably along with another $20 for a 1600 marketplace points card because I want Geo Wars 2 and Castle Crashers.
Other than that, it's just been a pure gaming Friday, which is great. Gonna continue it with some COD4 multiplayer and other games. Peace.
