Bit further in RDR. About half way through it at the moment. Mexico is a pain in the behind. I just keep playing Liar's Dice and Poker and buying nice guns :P

Also tryed some cheat codes yesterday. Rockstar use to implement button combination cheats (early GTA), then they went to stupid mobile numbers (GTAIV) and now you have to type in a sentence! Just search google for them and enter them into the cheat menu. Found a bug with the "open all locations" cheat. Wanted to get to high stakes poker in Blackwater (with my Rockstar Social Club Suit ;D) so I put the cheat in and tryed to take a stagecoach there. I got in it, and chose Blackwater. The coach just flipped backwards and fell through the map! Then you respawn, and the grounds about a metre too high (everyone's legs are sunk).

Don't know what I did, but I also can't seem to buy drinks in any bar anymore. The prompt to buy a drink just doesn't come up, so no more drunkeness :(

Very glitchy game indeed, would've preferred a later release date and a more solid game, but oh well, just await the updates.

Crash Team Racing. I spent so much time on that game and completed it fully. It's been a number of years since I played it though. I think it would take a bit of time to get back to Oxide time trial ghost beating level.

I might have to add that to my potential video making list.

I'm with Butch. get involved then train so you can crush her...

That reminds me of the first, and then last time my fiance got involved in gaming for me (properly). She is not into games at all by the way.

So she decided to play Crash Team Racing with me as she thought it would make me happy. SHe then decided to play it a bit more and enjoyed it, got really good actually. And beat me 5 of 6 times :(

Cue 3 late nights training hard so that I could destroy her. Then battering her 6-0 in 2 cup bonanza!!

My joy was short lived as I realise how hurt she was that I'd dedicated time just to beat her :( She never played again.

No mate don't do it,think of the consequences.If a woman can kick your ass on a game you'll never hear the end of it.Every argument will end with ''remember that time I owned your sorry ass on Halo,well I'm going to tell all of your mates'' :)

I play games for hours, then I spend hours with her. There isn't really much more than that so she doesnt mind.

Talking of 'girlfriends' and 'emigrating'...

How are you getting on in Japan now Machie?

Ah, but I don't get away with it! I try and compromise and have a few days of gaming and also ensure I get some work done in the house. Last weekend I put up a safety light in the back patio so that bought me some gaming time this week :)
