Well I am playing more games and trying to get them done. The most important part is I’m enjoying them as well that really was the whole point.
I need to play more Max Payne really as I spent all that cash on the season pass thing and then haven’t played it at all in like a year.
Anywho I also found out I’d not recorded all the achievements so that was dumb. I was meant to do some stuff with some American guys tonight but it doesn’t look very good as I’ve not seen them online so :S to try and clear some awkward battlefield achievements.
We’ll keep going. 1 week ago


john_swaleNot too bad

Well this is going quite well really. I’ve almost completed a game; and I’ve gotten if not a chunk by achievements done on another but more like getting to grips and I’m more likely to play it.
If there’s any xbox players on here who would like to play any games just let me know it’s way better doing co-op and stuff with other people.
But yea I’m not going to get a game until I finish one so no more games for a while. 1 month ago


john_swaleThe work will teach you how to do it

Well I’ve been better but having time off has meant yet again I’m in some sort of bastardised grey area of not doing a lot active wise, but then me just watching any TV. Not like watching my box sets. Plus I need to stop playing BF3 online branch out to the other games I’ve got or at least play the missions on BF, there’s no movement other wise.
But yea:
Books
DVDs
Xbox
it always feels like this is a silly goal 14 months ago


john_swaleBook now

This is getting sort of better, but it feels odd to not be nuying magazines for example. I’m off now so I really want to not watch TV or stuff anymore than I do right now so essentially have like 8hours doing stuff nd use the rest of the time on this goal.
Though I have read like two books in the last three days. 14 months ago


john_swaleAs if pearls and rubies have fallen from it

This is a silly goal but if you think about it, this makes sense. Think of all the cash I’ve spent on games and books and dvds and stuff and then not actually using them.
So I’ve been back playing BF3 but online – so again it’s single player and mixing it up I need to look at. Going back to those games where I’ve not done a lot and trying to bring them up in line. The same goes with dvds and all.
It wont stop me buying stuff if I want really but in terms of magazines I’ve sort of stopped if I’m just buying and dumping them on my desk it’s just silly but I’m not at the level they’d work for me – mens health and all. I can’t afford most of the stuff they talk about, the diets and exercises are for fitter guys and all the stuff they talk about with the ladies. Well we know that situation.
So yea lets play. Game on. (and dvd and all on too :P) 14 months ago


john_swaleEels - Novocaine for the soul

The Sopranos is going quite well; I’m on season three and I’ve started to try to get back into my games, and I’m back reading so maybe there’s some light at the end. 15 months ago


john_swaleNot too sure

I bought a boxed set of the Sopranos the whole what like six or seven seasons. How ever many. I’ve watched all of season one and the first disc of two.
It doesn’t really eat into the stuff I already have but no matter. Plus I’ve been reading but it’s all kind of been on hold with revision. 15 months ago


john_swalethis is going no where but needs to go somewhere

My room has newspapers and magazines from a few days ago I’ve just not even opened to look at never mind anything else, alongside the dvds.
It comes from recently I’ve been too lazy to even just sit and watch almost and enjoy just been laying on my bed at all times just being moody really. 15 months ago


john_swaleA picture of a cow in a field

So small steps I guess, no games but I am starting to watch some dvds – The Sopranos, it’s good duh. Only just started on it really episode four or five I’m up to. But really should play some games and complete them and all. 16 months ago


john_swaleTo take you must give

It’s bad in terms of the goal and isn’t balanced in the idea of me doing something better, but I’ve not turned on my xbox for a good few weeks.
Should get some game time. 16 months ago

john_swaleTell me what you need and I'l tell you how to get along without it

Gonna have a bit of a break from this because of the holidays and junk but later it’s go. 17 months ago


john_swaleEveryone is a genius at being themselves (except me)

I don’t think I’m any good at games – but I’ll keep trying, single player is a big thing but also the co-op stuff you find in games now, but yea I’m still working on this one. 17 months ago


john_swaleI arise in the morning torn between the desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day

Some good movement on this goal really. Gotten stuck again on BF3 because I’m doing it on hard and want the achievements. I really want to get the games I’ve got to double figure achievements, and good percentages of completion. Then fully complete.
Don’t get me wrong it’s all about the enjoyment so I enjoy the game and all but I do enjoy essentially achieving the achievements. 17 months ago


john_swaleAny orders boss?

I started playing battlefield 3 single player today, good game obviously. Now I’ve started it’ll continue it’s always starting things with me. 17 months ago


john_swaleMore RDR

Just been playing more red dead moving slowly through it, not really anything else to put on this one for now, but yea really need to put in the games I still haven’t even bothered to put in the xbox 17 months ago


john_swaleTo hide one lie a thousand lies are needed

I’ve moved onto red dead redemption; with this one it’s trying to cover everything as you go along you know so as soon as you unlock a mission or something doing it. Good game, still need to put a few games in my xbox for the first time though.
Also I’m reading two books I’ve read before which is odd. 17 months ago


john_swaleUntitled

Battlefield 3 infuriates me – the knife kills on multiplayer. They’ve changed it so you only get dogtags with a kill from behind but so many times I’ve gone to get someone and they turn right at the end so the scene doesn’t get them and you just slash and it does nothing. Takes the piss so many times I’ve crept up and then get shot because they’ve changed it from bad company so it’s only dead from behind.

I know this sounds so so dumb but :S 18 months ago


john_swaleEl Lobo

I just finished LA Noire – my first 100% game, winner.
Moving onto RDR really now alongside playing MW3 and Battlefield in singe and multi. But yea deus and dead rising and ufc and … and … and … sat on my desk needs to be played. 18 months ago


john_swaleSurprise I got us a second wife

Right now I’m just trying to tie up Noire, then I’l more to RDR but ffs maybe even play MW3 but yea lets get it on. Having some fun and also achieving stuff as well 18 months ago


john_swaleA step closer

So I just finished LA Noire – the only parts I need to do are just some of the side stuff; like street crimes, film reels, cars, badge pursuit lol.
Quite a few things but the reels, badges, and crimes will be easy just a little time consuming only because of actually finding them kinda thing. It’s the car one that may be super hard as you’ve essentially got to just happen upon a car and knowing which ones it is I need but no worries. This will be my first finished game so then I can move onto some others like RDR and Deus Ex and MW3 (still not played at all) just all the single players etc :) 18 months ago


john_swaleA silly goal for a silly person

Due to my ‘revision’ this hasn’t really moved forward. Also I’ve fallen back into the trap of only playing one game and only multiplayer so just battlefield and thats it should really finish LA Noire if nothing else I’m really close and do the single player to all the others just try to complete and get as many achievements as possible.
most important enjoy and complete and of course achievement up. 18 months ago


john_swaleWow what a change

Not much gaming mainly because of revision and sleepiness. But overall this is a forward movement.
Got battlefield and modern warfare so it’s all good. 18 months ago


john_swaleEveryone can breath a sigh of relief

I played my new GOTY edition of RDR and it works; good game although all I’ve done is ride around the ranch and shoot animals – I’m not a vegetarian but even I feel a little wrong as I bring horse based death to bunnies, owls, hawks, vultures, and something else I forget what.

Also I’ve got battlefield 3 although not played it yet, so :S
But yea with revision this one has kind of taken a back seat which is odd in the sense of it’s good I’m revising so thumbs up there but it means I’m not achieving on this side. 18 months ago


john_swaleWinner - sort of

In a shameful display of shame this is maybe the only thing that’s had some progress on it. I’ve gotten more Gs in the games. One hiccup I got RDR and the disc wouldn’t work so I’ve bought another which does kind of feel a bit :S
I’ve read a book I got well more than one and tore through them.
A bit more like a break from work really.

Just finished my book – I’ve stopped recording stuff on shelfari, now I’m just like what to read now, too many books and it’s what genre I want. 19 months ago


john_swaleUntitled

I know this is a silly goal essentially but I like achieving things and finishing junk.
So I’m working at this games especially as it’s most easily recorded but other things too.
Ermmm my only question is should I focus on one game at a time or sort of play a range so they move together or bring up the ones I’ve not got anything on.
For example Red Dead Redemption I’ve not played at all for some reason I think because I want to finish LA and I like playing the quick game of rugby etc. 19 months ago


john_swaleI hope this has a nice stereo

This whole concept is going okay – I’ve not managed to play the last two days but it’s going okay with LA Noire, but it’s my rugby game I’m going to try again. Well that and the others it’s all about the score :P 19 months ago


john_swaleSkinning the edge of space

Well statistically my numbers are down. This is simply because I put some other games on the site I use. But when I look at it on the games I play it’s gotten a lot better. Made some good progress on two or three of my games along with some dvds and stuff 19 months ago


john_swaleGame wise

Achievements percentage: 21%
Points percentage: 14%

so we’ll see what the stats are by this time next week. 20 months ago


john_swaleStep 1

So in terms of the games I updated my online record of my gamerscore. Played some more of the single player on two of the games I’ve got – really it equates to single player achievements and multiplayer achievements I’ve normally get quite a few multiplayer but few single and especially few in terms of harder difficulty.
Plus I’m going to use the site I put my gamerscore on for help on how to get the achievement either where the thing is in game or well how to do something.

Hmm this was a longer post than I meant – just wanted to put updated, and played some games and got some extra achievements.
Done, so I’ll keep going :) 20 months ago
