I've been having withdrawals for not playing games as much lately. Like all day yesterday it only took 5 minutes of holding the controller and shoot couple of people and then I was ok. I want to lessen the time I spent on games by probably shaving an hour or two each night or even missing 2 nights in a row (OH GAWD).
Regarding COD4, I finally finished the game on Veteran. I'm only missing the "Your Show Sucks" Achievement. I'm going to try again tonight definitely though. Also I should get COD 2 in the mail today. I'm gonna play the game for the campaign and get couple of achievements along the way.
Meanwhile I'm trying to finish up GRAW 2 so I can send it on the mail and get Fight Night; the wife wanted to get a boxing game so she can kick my ass.
This weekend me and couple friends of mine are going snowboarding! woohoo! This is my first time doing the snowboard and am looking forward to it.

Back from leave and more!
I just got back from leave today. Spent some quality time with the wife and played some games ;). Now I’m just waiting orders for deployment or ... to PCS atta here.
I'd like to comment on couple games that I've played these past 2 weeks.
Lego Star Wars TCS
Me and my wife logged about 20+ hours at least, it included some team killings (intentional and unintentional) and little bit of yelling here and there. There's no Game Over screen, most people have commented this game could have been more fun like adding more variety and not being repetitive most of the time but hey what game doesn't do those? You'll spend a good amount of time breaking legos, building them and solving puzzles and the best part is going thru the game just like in the 6 episodes in Legos! Playing characters from the movie was pretty fun, especially the part where I get to play Yoda, but hey I'm a geek like that.
Although some parts could be a little bit infuriating, overall it's a really fun game. After 2 weeks of playing it I manage to get a most of the achievements except for the "collect all x" ones and the 100% game complete of course. I just sent it back yesterday and we'll definitely miss it.
Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare
I'm currently working on finishing the game on Veteran. And I must say.... it's really tough, involves a lot of going back to checkpoint after checkpoint. I'll give an update on it once I finally finish it or break my xbox360 out of frustration.
Ghost Recon Advance Warfighter 2
I just got this on the mail Tuesday. I've only managed to finish the first act on the hardest difficulty but so far I like it. Some parts are more difficult but I don't mind.
World of Warcraft
I got my subscription back up again for the fourth time. This time I finally hit 70 on my Warrior after a year the expansion came out. What made me come back was the patch 2.3 and an email from one of my old guild mates that the guild is getting back up and ready for the next expansion. I’d say for $40 the expansion has lots of playtime to offer. I haven’t even started playing the new races, might do that this weekend. Most zones are well thought and lots of quest to do, it’s just quest heaven for a guy like me who likes to explore. It’s going to be a) level my level 60 hunter to 70, b) make a new Blood Elf toon or c) do instances for gear on my warrior. AAhhh so much to do and not enough time!
I doubt I’ll be able to play as much as I did past 2 weeks now that I’m back to work but I’ll squeeze a couple of hours here and there. If you guys are on xlive and wanna play just hit me up and I’ll join a match or 2. XBL tag is Spybreak4u.
