MWC 398   
LAST WEEK

1) Finish Rock Band guitar solo tour on expert. 94% is the best. I have 
optimism for a change.

FAILED! Didn't try.

2) Finish Rock Band drum solo tour on expert. Done 35 songs ish, not 
failed any yet.

FAILED! Didn't try.

3) Get an achievement on Mass Effect.

FAILED! Didn't try.

4) Ascend the Tower on Soul Calibur IV.

FAILED! Didn't try.

5) 5-star Toxicity on RB Expert guitar.

FAILED! 4.5ish.

6) Get through BYOB on RB Expert guitar (my god it's hard).

FAILED! 6%ish.

7) Play a Wii game.

FAILED! Wii is teh suck.

8) Get two more achievements in Beijing 2008.

FAILED! Didn't try.

9) Get an achievement in GTA4.

SUCCESS! I got two, in fact.

10) 50k. No chance.

FAILED! Obviously.

11) Maintain my streak. Apparently I have played on my Xbox 360 for 97 
consecutive days, the 596th longest streak ever recorded on Live. I get 
a new badge on my 360voice profile if I get to 100 :)

SUCCESS! I'm going on holiday soon so it will stop at 120. Would be nice 
if I made the top 500 by then.

12) Finish GH: Aerosmith on Expert.

SUCCESS! That was easy.

13) Start and finish Metal Gear Solid 2

SUCCESS! A lot shorter than I remember, 10 hours and 2 minutes, of which 
less than 40% was spent holding the controller.




I'm going to have a clear-out now and not carry forward unrealistic 
achievements, since most of my list has been there for months and will 
never get done. So:


THIS WEEK

1) Dependant on LoveFilm's adherence to my priority list, start and 
finish Metal Gear Solid 3.

2) Get the Liberty City (5) achievement in GTA IV.

3) Get at least 200G in Viva Pinata 2.

4) Play Viva Pinata DS.

5) Get the What It Takes achievement in GH: Aerosmith before sending it 
back.

1. Get the 75 Eagles achievement in TW09.
2. Get my Gamernet player points up to >15k in TW09.
3. Complete the Tiger Challenge in TW09.
4. Complete chapter 3 of Bully.

On the subject of Bully, am I wrong in the head for enjoying it much, much 
more than I enjoyed GTA4? Obviously it looks a little rough around the 
edges, but it is enjoyable, varied, amusing and generally just brilliant. 
Egging cars and giving wedgies appeals to me much more than the more 
excessive violence of GTA. :)

I'm still trying to come up with a suitably witty riposte to 'WHORE CUNT 
WHORE!'. ;)

I suppose you could critique the etymological weakness of the insult, as 
it appears that the first two words are intended as an objective modifier 
to the act of prostitution. Zo is therefore describing you as a prostitute 
who illogically offers sex in exchange for access to other prostitutes.

I realise I don't know you at all but somehow this just doesn't surprise me 
one bit.  :-)
