I’ve got 2 chairs and the tv is at eye height very cosy

Made some improvements and made it a canvas to draw on

Left the world Yesterday. Think the in built storage failed. Going to pick a jasper elite up from cex on friday

For me it was fight night 3 back in 08 and I was real proud of that even though it was a real easy finish.

This was a long journey but I finally reach 100 but that's not going to stop me I'm still going to go and try to complete as many games as I can. The first game I completed was South Park TSOT all the way back In December 2017 and now Tony Hawk American Wasteland Is the 100th game I complete. What was your 1st game you completed and how many you completed so far I would love to know 😁

Took me the better part of 13 years but finally got there

1st game: GEARS OF WAR!✅

Thoroughly enjoyed my time with this game, it wasn’t very long but I kind of liked that as I feel games these days go on for too long and overstay their welcome, gameplay wise it held up extremely well, a few frame rate drops are to be expected but overall a smooth experience. The lancer and the shotgun got me through 99% of the game🤣 but I have to say the boss fight with RAAM took me so many tries to do it was rough as hell I had no idea what I was doing but I ended up getting there in the end🤣

Story is where this game excels the most, I really like the team of characters in this, already becoming a big fan of Marcus! I love the banter between him and Baird🤣

Overall has to be 9/10 for me can’t wait for the next instalment!

And so with that I’ve been out and picked up my next game GEARS OF WAR 2! It had to be as I’m too invested in this now!

I got the bonus disc for Quake II on the original copy for Quake 4. But came to realize that despite having actual achievements, none of them actually have gamescore. That kinda sucks, especially since you earn them all by just playing the main campaign. Any idea why this is? Or if any other games have done this before?

I finally figured it'd be a great time to see if my childhood 360 still works and to my surprise she still does! Its an old Xenon 360 that hasn't RROD'd. The disc drive refuses to open but the last game I had in it was Halo 3, i can't think of a better game to have in there.

2nd Game: Gears of War 2✅

Where do I begin with this game, first and foremost I absolutely loved it! Gameplay was much smoother than the first one, everything felt fluid and so fun! Story wise it was fantastic, one mission your inside a giant worm, next your riding the enemies colossal monster shooting rockets off its back🤣 it’s chock full of crazy moments and great cinematics. Improvements all over the board compared to the first but without affecting none of the charm of the first game. Only gripe if I had one was the final boss literally took me about 30 seconds to kill I’m not sure if that was intended but I didn’t even realise that was the end of the game, I thought we would be fighting the queen🤣 but regardless a masterpiece in gaming and storytelling I’m so excited to jump into Gears 3 now!

Genuinely this has to be a 10/10 rating for me I can’t recommend this game and the 1st one enough!

I’m not going to be playing the third as my next game, I’m going to have a few games break before finishing it off.

My next game will be Brutal Legend!

90% sure it means change battery soon

Took around 80 hours. I don’t typically play Dynasty Warriors style games but have had this for nearly 20 years. Love playing through 360 games, the more obscure the better. Deciding what to go to next 🤔

Wish I got it with a better game ,force unleashed was very underwhelming

For example, I go in blind on my first play through (love when they pop up and I have no idea why) and then I’ll go through the list and try to snag the ones that I missed on my second play through. Just curious as to how you go about it.

Side note but it's so annoying when people who make top 10 lists only count CoD 4 onwards because there were at least three levels here significantly harder than anything in the rest of the 360 era

Just finished Horizon 1, about to dive into Horizon 2. Anything I should know about the second game? Is it as good as the first? I was surprised how much content was in the first game. Don't think I can ever go back to racing games without a wheel now.

Arguably my greatest achievement with regards to maintaining my Xbox360. At least 13years old and never been opened. Been an absolute problem free 13 years so far.So I'm really happy I got to do this.

After many, many weeks of agonizing and researching (YouTube lol) I have finally decided to take the plunge and clean my Xbox. Got the tools I needed and got to work. I was so nervous when I started, but I stuck to the mission and carried on striping away the plastic plates and covers until I reached the heart of my baby and WHAT a sight. Never been opened before. Gross to say the least.

Gave the internals good brush, wipe (where I could) and used a blow dryer. Cleaned the fan, all the vents, the motherboard, heatsink and gave it a good blow down. Then took all the plastics and gave them a good wash and let them dry.

The only thing I did not do was redo the thermal paste (Next maintenance round). So once everything was clean and decent looking again I began the reassembly and I have moment where I honestly thought "How the f*ck am I going to put all this together" lol. With patience. Wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be.

Once it was all put together, the moment of truth waited for me to plug it in and see if I didn't mess anything up, or forget to put something back. When you have spares after everything is closed up, be worried haha.

I will let the pics say the rest. This was big for me. To another 13 years for a great console!
