Game Night

Good Evening Ladies and Gentleman,

I just wanted to check in with you all and say hello. The site, http://ww.maxatplay.com, Max@Play.com is coming along nicely. And to celebrate the sites success and growth I’m going to host a game night. I’m going to pick one game on Xbox Live to play with all of my supporters and if I get a nice response it my open up the gates to a few tournaments and prize giveaways. Keeping checking back for updates.

The Games in mind are:

Left 4 Dead

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Halo 3

Grand Theft Auto 4

Don’t forget to check out Max@Play for the latest in gaming and movies.

The Gaming Recession

First of I want everyone to check out my website http://www.maxatplay.com

Now on to the nitty-gritty. I’m sure everyone, everywhere is feeling the bite of the economy right about now.  I too am no stranger to hard times. There are so many games I want to pick up that are just outside my budget. Borderlands, Halo 3 ODST, and soon to be released Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.  It’s hard to shell out $60 for a brand new game especially if all you have is $50 and you still need to feed yourself. Well I’m dedicated to my gaming lifestyle and I refuse to wait to pick up COD: Modern warfare.

To accomplish this deed I will do what most desperate gamers would do….sell off games that don’t get much play time.  I’m notorious for selling a game whether I finished it or not. Its my belief if the game was really as good as they say I’d take the time to finish it. Anyway, the games on my list for sale are Left 4 Dead, Fallout 3, and Prototype. All of them great games with great replay value just not good enough for me to hold on to and risk not having enough for Call of Duty.

In the event that I don’t have enough to pay for my game even after all my trades, my wife and daughter will share the burden of hunger with me so daddy can have his new game.  I will also try selling blood and if I really need to my hair, even though I’m already bald.

Lets start a movement! Lets lower the prices on all good video games so that my family doesn’t have to miss a meal so I can play!

Withdrawls

Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentleman,

Its been a busy week working on my own website maxatplay.com and job hunting. Being busy means my time to play video games is limited to almost non existent. I was able to check out a few demos this week, but no serious game time like I’m accustomed to.  Its driving me freaking crazy. I swear I have the shakes from not signing on to Xboxlive and pwn a few noobs in Halo 3 or knocking down some walls Red Faction. I can hear Niko from GTA4 calling me for back up. This is serious! Gaming is just like eating, you can only go for so long without it. 

Persistence and Dedication

Before I begin let me set the stage for you.

     This battle takes place on the ice covered tundra known as The Chasms. Set on the hardest difficulty, Legendary Mode, I want to once and for all settle this skirmish between The Arbiter, played by Halo Wars A.I., and Captain Cutter, played by yours truly. I’m expecting a cake walk of a battle, seeing that I have been undefeated for the last 20 or so battles. 15 minutes into the battle I am wiped clean off the battlefield by The Arbiters all out attack.

     So, Legendary Mode in Halo Wars is no joke, just like in Halo 3. My feelings were hurt and I know I wasn’t jusy going to go to bed defeated so I tried again. From 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. I was being destroyed like never before. Humbled and tired I retire for the evening.

     1 a.m. I’m up pumped and ready to kick some covenant butt. And for the first 3 hours of game play it seemed like an instant replay of the past night.  I tried focusing on building my supplies to afford an even amount of Good Technology and Good Solidiers.  CRUSHED! I tried the numbers game and built the largest military force I ever built without focusing on tech. CRUSHED! I even tried dumping everything in to technology…CRUSHED!

     You would think after all that I would have quit or at least backed down to Heroic Mode. Not me, I don’t know the meaning of the phrase back down or give up, because I can’t find my dictionary.  What I did do was cheat. Bountiful Harvest is an in game cheat that allows your supplies to accumulate 25% faster. This allowed me to spend more in both the major areas. At about 9 p.m. I defeated the Arbiter in  our 1 on 1 skirmish.

Yay me!
