Motorcycle missions are not fun.

I'm doing pretty good in GTA IV and I am nearing the end. But there is one mission standing in my way. I have to chase some guy on a motorcycle, but motorcycles are pretty hard to drive and shoot at the same time, If you crash you have most likely failed the mission.

I have tried everything to beat this mission, I have even planted cars in the way before the mission but the clever game makes them disappear as the mission starts. Its one of them missions that should be really easy, but its so easy that its hard.

If anybody knows what mission i am talking about, please feel free and leave me some tips.

Bad at Burnout

So last night after the GH3 tournament I started to play Burnout with Don and a few other gamespot users. Burnout is a lot of fun if you know where to go and what to do. I am not one of them people, It takes me ages to get to the chanllege area and if thats not bad enough it takes me about 100 attempts just to finish.

I don't mine being so bad when your playing against players that don't mine helping you out, each user had his own role to help me out;

Don = GPS: Don knows Paradise City like the back of his hand, He knows every road, jump and billboard. I got so lost so most of the time but Don was there to put me right back on track.

Tams = Takedown Master: Now Tams also did help out with challenges but most of the time he found it more amusing to take me down just as I was about to finish a challenge

All in all, I had a great night and it was tons on fun, but be warned I am BAD AT BURNOUT

5 things you didn't know bout me

I was tagged by my good friend Dan_Lero, sorry for the delay Dan i've been kind of busy.

1) I have broken my right femur twice and my left one once. I have also broken my left arm, it has metal plates in it and a cool scar to with it.
2) I am a bit of a perfectionist, when I buy a game it must be in the original packaging.
3) I am half Irish and half Chilean
4) I love to collect things, I still have my Atari 2600 with all its games, I also have some Star Wars memorabilia. I have so much stuff, I don't know what to do with it.
5) I have a friend from the US that sends me boxes of American junk food, so if you wouild like to recommend some junk food, please feel free and leave me a comment.
I told icytower38 I was going to tag him before I wrote this blog, but he got so fed up waiting for me to write it, he want ahead and wrote it before I could official tag him.

Andi can play some mean guitar

So, I played Andi (MoonFoxx) in Guitar Hero 3 today, "wasn't that a big mistake" she totally destroyed me at it. I'm no good at GH3 on normal or hard and nether is she so we both played on easy.

We started of playing the best of 7, I picked Rock You Like a Hurricane, The Devil Went Down to Georgia and Ruby, Andi picked 3's & 7's, When You Were Young and Barracuda. So we play the first song, I win we play the second song, I win , after that it all go's down hill for me. So I we started the third song, I was pretty confident with two wins under my belt.

So we started the song, half way through the song I missed a note, no big deal I can catch up, boy was wrong. Clink clink clink, one gutair note gets hit and more clinking, So I look over to Andi's screen and she's hitting every note perfectly. Wait a minute, it was me missing all them notes. I would like to say things got better for me, but nope she's destoryed me in the rest of the set.

I am not embarrassed or ashamed that she beat me, because even though she's kicked my ass, I had really good fun playing against her. So if she play's UNO the same way she plays guitar hero, I'm going to be a UNO pro in no time (btw, Andi is going to teach me to play UNO, So watch out )
