This is war.

So, up until 2 weeks ago, my good friend Birky and I got along well. We played games together, chatted, and laughed at stupid stuff. Then he posted on my wall at x360a telling me that *gasp* we had the same amount of retail completions. And that his completion percentage was 15 points higher than mine. Then he got General in COD3 and Elite in RB6V, which were two achievements I had been holding over his head. Then, he completed 3 games in one day, putting him only about 1000 points behind me in raw gamerscore.

This week, I'm finishing up Viva Pinata. Next week, I'm finishing NHL 2k6, MLB 2k6, MLB 2k7 (maybe), Jumper, and FIFA '06. He claims he can finish Guitar Hero 3, COD3, and Tetris Evolution during that time, meaning I'd have to bang out Kane + Lynch, Civil War, African Safari, and some sports game to stay ahead while he struggles with the difficult games he has left.

And Viva Pinata's doing well.

Lego Star Wars II: ToT= DONE

Well, that wasn't so bad. I thought it would take me around a week, but I did all 3 flying missions in less than 5 tries apiece. It took me less than 3 hours all told. Next up on my list is Viva Pinata, and I'm pretty sure I can find someone to lend me all of the pinatas. Shouldn't be too hard.

WORKING ON:

MLB 2k7 - Online, rail leans, steal home
Viva Pinata - Almost everything.

Sneak King = DONE

Sneak King is done, and without too much trouble. The last three "deliver to everyone" missions were annoying, and stupid Cul-De-Sac 15 pissed me off greatly. This is the one where you need to deliver to 5 people in backyards in a minute, and this is only possible in 2 or 3 of the 5000 or so randomly-chosen starting layouts.

Here's a quick story - I had been warned many times about Cul-De-Sac 15 by RRIKER, but for some reason I thought he had said it was mission 17. So when mission 15 came around, I screwed around with it. I failed the first two times for delivering to people in the street, and the third time around, I waited for the first girl to get to Hunger 3. That was a good 8 or so extra seconds. My time on that run-through? 1:00.69.

I didn't spend that long on mission 15 altogether though, only about 2 hours. Entire game ran me 40 or so hours, at least half of which was spent on the computer while the thing was paused because I couldn't bear to play anymore.

Working on:

MLB 2k7 - Same as last time.
Lego Star Wars II - Also the same.
