Jeremy McGrath's Offroad

This game was on sale last week so I picked it up as it looked like an easy arcade to complete and I was in the mood for some racing.

The game is ok but it's not no top of the line game you just gotta have.  Hit one glitch where I got stuck in a spot that I couldn't get out of.  Luckily they have a reset button for when that happens.  I did flip a couple times but this game does not show any damage and the flip was not impressive.

In about 1 hour and 30 minutes you can unlock all but one of the achievements.  The last achievement you have to drive for 1000 miles in the game.  I tried doing a spin and letting my truck just spin around all night but it kept going wide and it got stuck.  Going to have to get that 360 turn going better or pick a track with a little more so it won't get stuck.  If you want to do it by driving it all, I think I had around 120 miles after the 1.5 hours of playing.  So around 7 to 8 hours to finish it up that way?  Ill stick to rubber banding the controller while its plugged up and earn it that way.

Backtracked to Eternal Sonata

Talking with the wife other day and she said I needed to finish all my games before we got it.  That's going to be a hard feat to accomplish considering all the games i own that i haven't even played yet.  She said to start on the oldest so I pulled out Eternal Sonata.  

Took me a little bit to get the game of playing and get back i to the story where I left off but now I'm enjoying again.  Actually popped 2 achievements the first 2 days I played it but none sense.  It's a low scoring game and it takes a 2nd play through to get all 1k in the game.  I don't think you can get over 340 on your first run.  It's that or less depending on how much you find and do in the game.

Im still playing some GOW just to mix it up some but will see how long or how many I get through before the year ends.

Clash of Clans - New Clan Got Destroyed

Why does this always seem to happen.  I joined up with another guy and he decided to leave and make another clan again.  So people started leaving to follow him.  Then one of his old clan mates, went on a kicking a spree before leaving being an absolute jerk and then left his self.  People wonder why nobody wants to give out elder in this game.  It's reasons like those right there that they aren't given up.

Sucks all this happened while I was gone on vacation.

Needless to say, I'm not staying in the name the guy made up and I had to leave my old clan name for.  So I will be recreating my old clan name and moving everyone back to it.  At least a bunch of people who got kicked came back.  I was happy to see that.  Hopefully when the move happens in the next day or so, they will all follow.  Just giving everyone time to rejoin before I create the original name I had again. 

So back to TheWrectchedOnes.

Nashville, TN

Drove up with the family to Nashville, TN where my wife grew up this past weekend for the Memorial Day weekend.  Had a good time.  Definitely a lot to do in that city.

Went over to the Parthenon in Centennial Park, took the kids to the Charlie Daniels park a few times, the kids really enjoyed the Adventure Science Center, went downtown to walk around to hear the music playing and go in some of the stores.

Went over to the Loveless Cafe, It was an hour and 40 min wait just to be seated.  That or you could do takeout and get it in 15-20 mins.  So we did takeout and grabbed a picnic table outside that opened up.  Was some good food.

I finally got to eat my first real White Castle burger.  It was pretty good.

Had to go by Red Robin, they always have good burgers.

Tried a new place called Cori's Doghouse.  They have all kinds of ways to make hotdogs.  The bread is like texas toast put together for the bun and they are some big hot dogs.  It's definitly worth trying as it was pretty good.

Went by this Chuy's resturant for mexican.  The chips and salsa were fantastic.  It's worth going for that alone.  The food was interesting.  I didn't like what I ordered that much and my wife didn't want the spicy meal she got.  So we switched plates and we both enjoyed our meals.

Ended up taking the kids swimming at the hotels indoor pool.  My youngest is finally starting to get how to swim.  After 2 hours of working on it, I was glad to see some progress on that 2nd night.

Got a backstage tour of the Ryman from one of my wife's friends.  That was a pretty neat tour and learning about all the historic value the place has.

It was a good trip and had some fun.  Definitely a town worth going too as we still have more to do that we haven't done yet.

Xbox One

The new Xbox One is going to be awesome!  I'm so buying one this Christmas.

They didn't mention the price yet but hopefully they will at E3 as they are supposed to reveal more.

The seamless transition between TV, Games, Music, Movies, plus everything else it was quick, smooth and nice.

If you missed the unveiling, go read up on some news about it.  You'll want it.

Carmageddon on Android

This is awesome.  They actually got the money to port this over to the android platform. I played this game way to much back in the day.

Looks like the promo is free for today only so get it while you can.

Doritos Crash Course 2

How about that, they put out a Doritos Crash Course 2 today.  Just over 300 megs and when you get into the game, it downloads more content.  What's even better is, it says the store is down and try back in a hour.  You can't even play the game.  What a bunch of crap that is.  So now its linked online and I can't play offline at all if their stuff is down.  Way to go Doritos, you screwed up right off the bat.
