I wonder if this quote had anything to do with this topic

I went to sleep at 7.

Yeah, that is my accomplishment.

I too went to work and got to play with trains in the pissing rain.

It was not a pleasant evening but it's all over and done with now.

I've also accumulated enough spare cash that I'm now *actively* looking for a new laptop, a new thread will start sometime tomorrow (Today) to discuss this.

Today, my breakfast consisted of a medium peperoni from Domino's and a beer.

Its noon somewhere ;)

I actually did eat around noon :p.

Did homework and played video games, fun stuff

Anyone else feel like this place is more of a daily blog in which it is updated by several people?

Yes. Which is lovely.

Today in life I got to drive a train... that's not normally what I do, I tell the guy who drives 'em where to go... sort of. It's complicated, but today I drove one. It was fun and exciting.

I also almost, ALMOST... like, so close! changed the subject title of Xbox.ca's 'What did you accomplish..' thread from 'Gaming' to 'Gaymen'.

I decided at the last minute that it was in bad form.

Not because of the possible 'gay bashing' rhetoric... I don't believe saying 'gay' is the equivalent of hate speech or disrespect... but because it's the only thread on there that has pretty much never had an argument etc.

It's almost sacred, and I'd like to maintain that.

Seems a bit silly to think so much about it... but that's the way it went in my head.

I beat Halo Reach last night and I re-arranged my bedroom today and worked on my Reach review.

school :(

@Doos Happy B-Day to your lady!

@Rajio Dude, that would piss me off. Does it show all levels completed on Legendary Solo when you go to the level selection menu (assuming it still does this like previous games)?

beat halo reach solo on legendary (did not get the achievement)

it shows all levels completes on solo as legendary except for one of them which is shows as never completed on solo OR co-op. which is crazy since it advanced me to the subsequent mission. it's clearly a bug.

I'm told I should go finish that level again (from the beginning) on legendary, but that prospect is a little stressful. i will eventually but right now im all halo'ed out lol. finishing that level on legendary all alone was fucking tough. theres a point where you have no more weapons, just a pistol. and a few large, heavily armed enemies to contend with. you can't afford to miss a single shot or delay at ALL between firing shots. I remember doing that part SO many times. 100% efficiency or death.

i've played all halo games on solo legendary (except halo wars which i did only multiplayer for) and while it was hard it always felt possible. the difficulty made it good - i like being uncertain of survival. this time it was a LOT more difficult and a lot quicker. Right off the bat it's VERY tough on solo legendary. more so than ODST even.

*Shakes fist*

Don't be sabotaging my thread!

Today, I didn't do very much, but I had some resumes printed off and plan to apply to a ton of jobs this week.

Other than that, I beat a few missions in Spider-Man.

I will appy to lots of jobs too! ...tomorrow when I pick up reach its time for a fresh job

I was unable to do any of the Halo trilogy on solo Legendary, so if what you say is true, then there goes my shot at "Monument to All Your Sins."

Silly Switch; your new job is to host gamer nights on a daily basis. ;)
Speakin' of stuff Switch would do
I'm thinking about tossing out my eb pre-order item as a contest so watch out for that.

Rajio said:

you could hire me to beat it for you. i need work anyhow ;)

I just read that and nothing else. loool jk raj

But then it's not my Achievement, and I like to earn my own stuff ;). I'll definitely be able to get "Gods Must Be Strong" with Co-Op, but I'll still attempt "Monument to All Your Sins."

Good bumping into you oh so briefly today. I'll be picking up my Limited Edition after work tonight, and I'll be playing the Campaign. So heads up everyone, as I'm going through the Campaign the first time I will be ignoring any and all messages sent my way!

I also hadn't realized that you needed work. As you know I'm not overly keen about my company right now, however if you really do need work, I might be able to hook you up with something.

PM me if you want to chat about that.

good bumping in to you too. i was on a lunch date and running late so couldnt chat. ;) sorry. i just got monument to all my sins too. finally. had to run through the 'last' level again from the beginning without break just to make sure it registered as complete this time.

i am not working and looking at my options. if you have options lets discuss.

Well, I'll tell ya, if they're hiring in your area, and you can afford to go without a paycheck for a month, just the training alone is lucrative.

Here's how it works:

You apply as a Conductor, wherever you are, major city etc. The online application takes about 45 mins. Or more.. depending.. just tell 'em what they want to hear. You'll know what I mean.

They'll go through 'em and if they are hiring in the area (Which they usually are.. 10000 new hires over the next 10 years) you'll get a call saying 'Come here for this test and interview.'

Tell 'em what they want to hear, you'll work weekends, nights, whatever, on call etc.

If you make it through, you'll be put up in whatever city they're doing the training in. Thrown in a hotel for 6 weeks, all paid for.

5 years ago it paid $800 a week. Plus $30/day for food. So just your food allowance alone would net you $1260, plus the $4800 for training.

So, if you've got nothing better to do, go to the training, pass or fail you get the cash..

If you've got the means to hold out for the training period without getting paid (It's a two-week in lieu system, meaning you work 2 weeks, then another 2 weeks, then get paid the first 2, then 2 weeks later the next...) it can be lucrative.

Like I said, that was 5 years ago, training rates have probably gone up.

It's an option if you've got nothing else going on...

Base pay for a qualified conductor, worst case scenario, 60k/year.

hm sounds neat although due to be doing another year in highschool
I would need a part time job and after school is summer then college so there really is no time for me to work there although I will definitely keep cn on my radar in the future

Made a great map in forge today. Took loads of time but it was worth it. Now just have to tweak the gametype for it.

Im bored as shit, its ridiculous.

I have a craving for a Call of Duty type game (Military FPS), and i dont have any :(
And i wont have one till November...

Tuesday couldnt come any quicker, as well as saturday

That sounds like something worth looking into for sure. I need to find something to do. I've been unemployed for a while. I went to college for three years (Advertising,) and graduated a year ago June. I haven't been able to find anything in that field since then and haven't really had much luck with part-time or minimum wage stuff either.

I've had a couple phenomenal job interviews at Future Shop and Home Depot, where the interviewer seemed legitimately blown away by my resume and/or my knowledge (the fact that I was able to tell the people at Future Shop Fallout NV's release date and all about it, as well as other things about gaming.) Yet, I never heard back. It's weird.

On-topic:

Today, I'm going to finally get off my ass and put out some more resumes. I need to go to Blockbuster to return Reach (it bores me,) so I'll put one in there. Planning to rent the new Batman game for the Wii, to play at my friend's house when I go there this afternoon.

Gotta' pick up case of beer, too. I don't think my 4 Stellas will cut it. Granted, I rarely drink, but I feel like relaxing and having some tonight.

ahahah. Steam pranks are fun :)

IF you add a non-steam game to your steam games library, you can edit the title.

Right now according to steam and my friends list, i am playing Team Fortress 3 - Limited BETA.

So far SpectralMeat has fallen for it :)

I've accomplished sweet fuck all in life and in gaming as of late...

The late work nights have been leaving me worn out and tired.. Seems the only time I have any sort of energy at all is when I'm at work... and something just seems fucked up about that.

I decided to get a jump start on my fall cleaning today, and ended up knocking every single task for my condo off the list.

Took most of the day, and now I'm tired and have a headache, but at least it's done.

Only things left are to work on the car, and I have a fake wicker chair I need to fix.
