I think it's the self checkout. A few weeks ago me and my friends were buying some booze (we all have ID), I went through a normal check out and they went through self service. After I bought it I walked up to them at the self service and the damn attendant asked me for ID, even though I wasn't buying anything. One of my friends was also buying lemonade at this time and got IDed for it.

I played a little more of Singularity's campaign and joined a session (which turned out to be a few people trying to boost and a bunch playing legit) for the CvS wins which I only got 10 of but I did manage to get a load of the other online achievements.

I'm pretty sure if a group of people go into a shop to buy alcohol, everyone in the group will get ID'd. Even if only one person is actually buying the alcohol everyone in the group is supposed to be checked for ID if they look under age.

I still get ID'd for 15s.

Got around to doing another playthrough on Dragon Age 2, but for the most part, my increase in GS has been pretty quiet as of late. I keep going through Rock Band bursts, where I don't really have much left in the way of achievements to get, but oh well.

I take back everything bad I said about EDF: IA.

The pesticide guns for each class = genocide gun, they brought it back. You can use them in co-op.

Holy shit.

The game is worth every penny.

This game is perfect for griefing with the pesticide guns. With battle armor you can shoot a 500,000 damage 150m radius (fucking HUGE) nuke at your feet and just sit with your shield up, waiting for the blast and come out unharmed while everything around you either breaks or dies. Of course if your allies are also playing battle they can survive the blast if they're aware it's coming.

My personal favorite use of the pesticide guns so far would be killing my entire team during the mini cutscene after finishing the final level on inferno. Just when you think you've won and it's over MISSION FAILED.

Of course I only do this in games I host publicly. I'll run public lobbies while farming up weapon drops on the last stage and newbies like to join up to try and boost themselves while being useless due to their low armor rank. If they joined a player who couldn't actually handle themselves they'd be dooming everybody by scaling the enemies up and essentially wasting time; considering that, I feel justified denying them the XP/drops which they hardly contributed to.

Most of my money is going towards a new car, as my Z24 is falling apart. I'll probably be skipping out on renewing my live this month, and instead just buying a steam game or something, as I've been PC gaming a lot more recently.

+0 increases for quite a while.

So I'm playing EA MMA, pummeling some random kid and his controller dies halfway in the match.

I notice its dead, start to wait, decide "Fuck that" and KO him. He messages me on XBL crying over it.

I feel like a winner.

Making children cry is always extremely satisfying.

You sure are generous.

I have around 740 Microsoft points, suggestions on anything to get?

I love Comix Zone, but Im not sure how well the replayability of it is. I considered Geometry wars as well.

Friend of mine came round today so we did the achievement for waves 1 - 30 on Allfathers garden in Gears 2. Also managed to get "Afraid of the Dark" and "Did Not Go Gentle" which i'm surprised I didn't get a long time ago.

+80g

Also made a little bit of progress on Red Faction: Guerilla. no achievements but I found an interactive map that should help with the ores, propaganda and radio tags I need to find.

It's not too great for replayability, but for 400 points you can't go wrong. There's 2 endings and an easy 200G though.

I figure I'll either get Comix Zone/Geometry Wars/Altered Beast & then also get Sonic & Knuckles. Because its 240 MP oddly.

More than likely trading in Metro 2033 tomorrow, I just beat it and could not get into it no matter how hard I tried.

Yeah, daily deal. Most likely the last set of the deals from the scheduled summer promotion.

More Singularity campaign progress although I only spent about an hour playing it to get these.

Mother FUCKER how do you like me now?

I told you to enjoy it while it lasted.

I was randomly playing LA Noire and got +80G for finding 95% of all clues. I didn't even know about this achievement.

I guess I'll get some gamerscore tomorrow when Reefer Madness comes out for LA Noire. I haven't actually played any Xbox this summer.

I've got virtually all of the miscellaneous achievements from Singularity now but I think there's still quite a lot of the game left to play through, maybe close to half, so from here onwards it's going to seem pretty barren.

Why is Shivering Isles still so expensive? A used retail copy costs even more than the digital copy, like what the fuck.
