Monday

The last week has been crazy.  We put the house up for sale.  It's only been 4 days, the sites show around 200 hits on various sites but no calls yet.  The listing has been posted on a number of social media sites as well so I imagine those numbers are inflated a little bit being people will just click on them and look at the house just to look.  We went to walk through a new house for the 2nd time.  Its lager then I remember the first time.  We are talking about putting in an offer but we may hold off until we get some actual interesting in selling ours first because there will be not point in making an offer if we can't sell ours.

On Saturday we all went to the swimming pool, you could say it was the first time I have been out in the sun this year.  I failed to put sun screen on all over, only covering the tops of my shoulders really.  That was a big mistake, my chest, back and feet are red.  I am not looking forward to the itching and peeling that will soon follow.

On Tuesday a new Xbox game came out, Watch Dogs.  I have played it a few nights, fun game.  Once this one is complete I will move onto Wolfenstein: The New Order

 

Being out of town 2 weeks ago and then spending my 4 day weekend working on the house set me behind on my TV shows.  Agents of Shield got cut.

Day 1

I plan to write about the games I play each and every day.  Starting right now!

Exercise - P90X - Xbox

I ran to my local Game Stop yesterday after work to pick up the new Crackdown 2.  I had the Izzy with me and she had a good time because we stopped at the little ride area in the mall and she go to ride the train.  She want around sitting in them all but  I only had enough money for 1 ride.  Once we got home the whole family went down to the track.  Izzy and I walked around while Brooke did a mile, walked a lap, ran a lap.  I think she is serious about actually running the 5K next year non stop.

So we get home, eat supper, kids play a little, bed time. My sister let us borrow her copy of the P90X dvd and we watch the getting started video.  So apparently you have to work out 6 days a week for 90 days.  I am so going to be ripped at the end, its starts on Monday...   Time for some Xbox.

Crackdown 2 is pretty cool, I received 2 codes with the game for pre-ordering, I think both were stuff for the live avatar., I spent about 2 hours playing.  The graphics this time around are a little more real as opposed to the cartoon feel of the first one.  There are a bunch of new add ons, moving orbs that you have to chase, zombie outbreaks, and a great deal of focus has been put into the co-op portion of the game which is cool.  Not sure how much time I will have to play tonight as we have soccer and I have to mow the yard.  Unless it rains.

Havn't Posted in a While...

So I thought I would write down a few things...

Its 3:39 and I'm sitting at work waiting for 4:00 to come around so that I can start my weekend. Tomorrow we are going to the pumpkin patch farm, its getting a little cold out so that should be a fun time.

We are expecting another little one sometime in March of 08 (It's a Girl). We have the new names picked out but we are not telling anyone until he/she is born just to have some fun with everyone.

Makynzie is doing good, she is still enjoying school twice a week and is excited to have a little brother/sister

During the second week in September we went on a little trip to South Dakota. Did a bunch of site seeing and travailing. You can view all (1206) the pictures here.

In early September my xbox 360 broke again (3rd time). Microsoft extended the warranty on the "ring of death" so I got it fixed for free. I am not on my 4th xbox 360 which is kind of sad but I deal with it because its the best. Halo 3 came out on September 25th and I got my copy at Midnight on the day of the release. Westdale Mall had a release party which included free pizza. They had some Tournaments going on as well ( halo 3, guitar hero) and my cousin came in second place for Guitar Hero and got a $10 gift card.

Xbox Blog

Well... it seems my Xbox 360 now has its own Blog. I have signed up with the site a few weeks ago and the post are quite funny. Keeps track of your Gamerscore points, when you get new achievements and when you don't play it always has some smart ass comment.

Halo 3 Beta

The beta has been out for almost 2 weeks now and I can say that I really like where the multi-player side of this game has gone. They have officially announced the release of the game will be Sept. 25th 2007.

3D Ultra™ Minigolf Adventure

Got a new Xbox 360 Arcade Games last night.

3D Ultra™ Minigolf Adventure

I used to have a similar game on the computer probably 10 years ago. The xbox 360 version is quite fun. You can play up to four players over xbox live, and there are a number of achivements to go after. I must say I recommend this game for some cheap entertainment.

How I didn’t get the Xbox 360

The holiday break was nice and relaxing but it could have been a little nicer had I not waited in the freezing cold for 7 hours to not end up with the new xbox. Yep, that’s right 7 hours I waited out in front of Toy’s R’ Us only to go home empty handed, that was a long night. It started out at about 10:30 pm Monday night when I was getting ready to head out to Wal-mart to check out the madness. I got there to find that they were going to do a raffle for the 40 ( 20 prem. 20 core ) xbox 360’s. So I get in line… get my ticket… and wait… and wait… and wait. Its 1:30 am and 40 numbers have been called, but not mine… “ Thanks for shopping at Wal-mart, have a nice night” ... ( hit read more for rest of story )

On the way home I go drive by toy’s R US to see 3 people sitting at the front door…Man these people are crazy I think to myself… I go home and go to bed. 20 mins of tossing and turning, I can’t sleep. The wife tells me to go get in line…. I leave the house. When I get back to Toy’s R Us there are now 4 people in line. All with chairs and one with a cooler. Everyone makes small talk for couple hours, we then all agree to wait inside our cars to keep warm being there are only 5 of us ( its about 30 degrees out ) After a few rounds of getting in and out of the cars 5:00 am rolls around, people start showing up for work. The drop dead tired feeling goes away. Its getting closer. 6:00 am rolls around, the manager shows up and lets the 5 of us wait inside and gave us some doughnuts, what a nice manager. 7:00 am, more people start showing up to wait in line, lots more. 8:30 am, there are about 30 people in line and the manager goes and tells the people at the end of the line that she doesn’t have that many systems and there is no point in waiting… line goes back down to 10 people. The manager brings out the purchase tickets, asks who’s first in line, they take a premium system… along with the 2^nd and 3^rd place in line. ( I’m 5^th remember ) 4^th place in line “I’m sorry, we only have core systems left” I go home and go to bed, with no xbox..

Xbox 360

As you may know already I plan to get the new xbox 360 by Microsoft. What you may not know is what game I plan to get first. While there are quite a few games out that are among the top of the list I will be getting Project Gotham Racing 3. One of the new features in this round is what is called Gotham TV which at any point allows you to view the live races of the top 50 players in the world or anyone on your friends list. There are also tickers that will scroll across the bottom of the screen ( unknown when ) when people of your friends list have beaten your records. Looks like we know what I will be doing all winter...
