Well I'm down to two achievements in Sims 3 thanks to a glitch in the game that lets your money keep going up by replacing your house and selling off cars. Found it over on TrueAchievements. When I got the 350,000 dollar house achievement, I also got my 150 challenges complete as well since I was only one away from completing it.
So now I'm down to "Earn a Lifetime Wish as a Young Adult" and get "1000 Wishes". I've already adopted a child, aged him once, taught him to potty, walk and speak. So now when he ages up again, then I get to pick his traits and go for the Lifetime wish with aging turned off.
The 1000 wishes however is going to be a grind. With my wife having played the game and me, I'm close to 700 wishes now. No telling how long it'll take me to get to 1000. So it'll be just playing the game until it happens and try to get as many wishes done as fast as I can.

How to Open an Xbox 360 Controller [Hardware Guide]
How to Open an Xbox 360 Controller [Hardware Guide]:
Hot off the press! Okay I don't really own a press but this guide is my latest. If you are looking to repair, mod, or use a controller for spare parts this is the place to start. The guide's sole purpose is to show you how to open and put back together an Xbox 360 Controller. Most guides show you how to take one apart but never really explain how to put one back together, which is the hardest part for some people. In this guide I have two different methods you can try to put the controller back together. Check it out and comment/share if you liked it!
This guide can be directly found here: How to Open an Xbox 360 Controller or found in the How-To Guides section.

Pop-Up Video
Well, looks like Pop-Up Video has returned. My wife hasn't been able to stop watching it. She even recorded one for me to watch when I got home. Must say, it's pretty fun to read all the stuff they put up on the screens again.
Also this week they are showing the top 100 or is it 250 songs of the 2000 -2010 era. We ended up watching it all night so I didn't do any gaming last night. Was still enjoyable watching those videos though. Makes you want to get them all and just start listening to them again.

Sims 3 and LSW3
I'm down to 6 achievements in Sims 3 now. Took a break yesterday though and played some Lego Star Wars 3. Got 4 in that. Amazing how long it takes to finish games sometimes. Especially when you get to a point and it's a grind to finish off. Sometimes I wonder if it's really worth getting all those achievements or not. If I didn't, I could just move on to new games sooner and play through a lot more. Guess being a sucker for completion pulls me in. Even though some games I will just let go as it's not worth it. GOW is one good example.

Buying a House
Well we officially have a contract signed to buy a house. Working on the loan side now and next month, we move. So my gaming time is going to go down for a little bit while working to get in the new house.
Resistance 3 Update
Well I have beaten the game and I'm on my second run through with Daze of War right now on Superhuman. Superhuman didn't seem that hard at first but the farther you get into the game, it's really starting to get a lot harder. I hope to finish up my Superhuman run Friday night. Which should net me my co-op trophy at the same time. I'll be curious to see if Daze of War gets the unlock superhuman, the superhuman trophy, finish the game trophy and co-op finishing the game trophy as this is his first run through of the game. I'm curious if the game will glitch or give it all to him.
Before my run through with Daze of War though, I went back through the game collecting all the journals. I had only collected about 50% on my first run through. Some I walked right by as I was just into the game and wasn't looking at that point for the journal. Others you had to be looking and walking around or you would have missed them for sure. Not to hard to find though and their are video guides online already.
Once my superhuman run through is done, I should have enough points to unlock the 2 cheats for all weapons and unlimited ammo. Then I'll really go back and wrap up all the loose end trophies that will become easy once I have those unlocked. I'm not touching them right now as they lock out the trophies on superhuman, so I'm not taking the chance on messing it up until I've finished Superhuman.
Their is now a third patch to the game. The last one was only 22 megs. Unlike the first two that were out that were 600 and 700 megs. What stinks is when I played online, the lag was horrible. I don't even care to play online with the lag as it makes it no fun as you get frustrated playing. When I played the beta when it was out, their was no lag, it was smooth and enjoyable. I don't know what they've done but at this rate, I don't care for online with Resistance 3 at all. I really do miss the online co-op mode they had before. Campaign co-op is fun but it's not the same as the previous online co-op where you worked together as a team.
Once I finish this game up, I will more than likely sell it or trade it in as it's not worth keeping.

Resistance 3
I went at midnight to get the game and when I put the disc in, there was already a patch. So 24 minutes later after the download is done and then a few more minutes for it to install. The game loads up just to install to your hard drive. I walked away but from what I've seen everyone has taken over 40 minutes just to get into the game upon putting in the disc. So that sucked. It was almost 1 am before I got in and at 1:30 I went onto bed.
I played enough to kill the mechanical spider and got to the point of defending the town for a little bit.
The rest of the day I was wrapped up until about 5:30 and then I got some more play time in that lasted about 1.5 hours. Then I started up again at 9 and played for another 2 hours. I made it to the point where I fell from a helicopter in the middle of a forest.
So far, the game play is very smooth. They have done an excellent job with the game. The story is playing through nicely and I've died a few times on Normal. which means Superhuman is not going to be easy. I plan to do that co-op with someone.
I haven't gotten around to playing multiplayer yet outside of the beta. I'll post more on that when I beat the game and go to play online some. I hate they took away the co-op play though. I loved that in Resistance 2 and now you just have the co-op for the campaign. 8( They should not have taken that out of the game.
The game is definitely good and worth buying. That's without a doubt. Can't wait to finish the campaign up to see how it ends.
So more the come....
