Tomb Raider Legend
Finished Bolivia, Peru, Japan, Ghana, and Kazakhstan (including time trials and all treasures found.) I haven't played a Tomb Raider game since part II came out ages ago, and this game pulled me right back in.

Became Lance Corporal on Rainbow Six Vegas 2.

Got to level 8 CQB and level 4 Assault, and completed a high-density Terrorist Hunt on all maps. And, I got a new favourite weapon! The SPAS shotgun is the greatest weapon ever. My brother uses a shield and desert eagle. Terrorists seem to like crowding the bathroom on Villa, so never ever go in there.

It would be better if you had a bigger health bar, since (And I';m basing this off all other games using the SPAS-12, like Half-Life 2, BLACK, etc) the SPAS-12 has wide spread damage, so you need to get in very close for it to be effective.

Tom Clancy games have the distinction of being very easy to lose. Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon both have very quickly-depleted health bars, while Splinter Cell requires being extremely careful.

Everytime I looked round a corner without first blitzing the area, a terrorist punched me in the face and killed me.
I got a headshot with the SPAS from long range. Purely by chance, I accidentally hit RT with my kneecap, so the gun fired and killed a sniper. Only took one bullet to take one out with that gun. Firing blind down a corridor with it is so amusing. Look, a terrorist. Bang. Dead. Two more come to investigate. Bang, both dead. Another four come in. Bang, bang. Wow, seven terrorists down out of 45, and I only just started.

Still looking for that Mesa. Won the "Beat the Cock" Triathlon.

I don't think I ever found those two games you're mentioning. Where is the import/export mission? And whenever I drop by the "Beat the Cock" area, the cock is never ready.

The cock is ALWAYS ready, giggity.

The Import/Export 'garage' is located at the docks in Easter Basin. You know the train tracks in front of the Doherty Garage? Well when you load at the garage, follow the tracks (don't go in the tunnel, go the other way, down the hill) and they'll lead you right to a crane with a red ring. You can stand in the ring and pick up the cars to place them on the ship if they are on the Wanted list. The Wanted list is the chalkboard found near the base of the crane. You first find out about the Import/Export on one of the missions with Cesar, you know the one where you have to use the crane to take containers off a boat? Well it's the same crane, and the same boat.

The Beat The Cock triathlon is found on Santa Maria Beach in Los Santos. You know the safehouse on the beach? There's a lighthouse near it, further down the beach (if you drive a car out of the safehouse garage, head to the right). You'll find a red marker and you can go in it to start the challenge. I think it's only available on weekends, though, (the posters in the Los Santos gym give more details) so press Tab to see what day it is. I think there's another one on another beach in Los Santos (I think, I'm not 100% sure). You know the beach in one of the hick areas with the pier with the wheelchair on it? That one.

Acquired Two Worlds, on which I've completed the Moon Eye quest, been kicked out of Thalmont for burgling....Poor Gandohar got an arrow through the heart. Needless to say, the archer that fired that arrow was one crispy guy. Pummelled the three bandits that were terrorising the horse breeder, and killed a guy named Marcas...he was guarding some Karga village. I took his axe. Does up to 78 damage. Not bad.

Beat the Theater mission in RSV2. Not a bad game but some glitchy team AI problems I am running into.

Only AI problems I've met are the increasingly stupid terrorists. I shot one in the foot, so he turned away from me and shot his team-mates.

I got that on the first mission. I think Nowak got his.... stuck in the fence.
Feel free to insert whatever word in the gap.

Tibia [PC]:
Found out about this old-schoolish RPG on Xfire. Started playing, made a character called Mademoiselle Samus. I spent a good 10 minutes trying to colour her costume right in game. I think I did a good enough job:

Anyway, I got to Level 4 and I'm exploring the areas north of the first town, trying to find the next city.

Tomb Raider Legend
I fininshed all of the levels, including Croft Manor. This game almost seemed too easy, even on the hardest difficulty it was a breeze. Oh well, it's another 1000/1000 gs. I just wish the game was longer.

Completed the Convention Centre level and reached rank Corporal on Rainbow Six Vegas 2. Reached level 14 and got an orc sword (130 something to 324 damage). Made a pretty nasty poison and an even better cure. Helped Ash something get his ring back from a thief, then helped the thief by making the necromancer call off his skeletons. Massacred the people of an entire village. Co-something, it was. Got some taint shoots for the necromancer. Returned to him, was about to give them to him, and then he jumped out of his seat and whacked me with his staff. I tried to rise above his level, and ran off, waiting for him to calm down. Went on an adventure back to a Necropolis. That place is scary. I killed a Hell Lord near there though, when I was level 9. Got back, the necromancer beat me up again, so I lost it and kicked seven shades of crap outta him, and now I can't get that necromancy spell I was promised.

Took some time to earn the Hippy Shopper asset, bought some more properties, and brought down the loco syndicate, in the process taking out T. Bone Mendez, Ryder, and eventually Toreno.

Completed all of the missions up to Ironhide's first one on Transformers The Game (PSP). Shockwave is awesome!
Cleared out Ram's Cave and got a new weapon that does up to 414 damage. Cleared Devil's Chamber. Got some awesome black armour.

FINALLY finished all the Import/Export jobs. Did the mission to get the Wang Cars asset. Now I'm on my way to LV for the Torino jobs.

Tibia [PC]:
Between a cancelled class and an hour-and-a-half break, I was able to squeeze in about 3 hours of Tibia today. Reached Level 5, got some great gear, ventured deep into the caves to the northwest of town (bears, orcs, minotaurs), finished the Retrieve the Notebook quest.

Following Mr. 1337's example, earned Wang cars as an asset and unlocked the import/export missions. Got 5 of the first group of cars.

Wow. Two Worlds is harsh. In order to get a key for the temple in Ashos, I had to convince a blacksmith's sister to not take the guy's smithy away from him. He told me to persuade her not to, which resulted in me and my summoned Octogron journeying around to visit a healer for the mayor, who in turn wanted me to eradicate some giant insects, just so the mayor, who turned out to be a werewolf, could have his medicine. After all that, the blacksmith told me to kill his sister. Sibling rivalry goes too far sometimes. Unfortunately for Ashos, the relic stone I had to find to save Kira (my sister) was their holy Eye of Yatholos. I broke into the temple, and my new Hell Master and I slaughtered the Serpents inside. I found the Eye. It was the Relic Stone of Water. So, I took it. Then I left the temple. Went outside, and....ouch. Everybody in Ashos was dead. Orcs surrounded the corpses. When I took the Water Stone, I took away their shield, and as a result, the orcs invaded and killed everyone. I did the only thing I could. Plunder the city, kill the orcs and plunder them too. I teleported to Komorin, the starting village in the game, and sold my loot, before charging into the village and killing everyone in there too. Without Gandohar to protect them, they were pretty feeble...although I swear my Hell Master was stealing my loot....

I'm an idiot. I should have got Wang Cars BEFORE doing all the I/E deliveries, I'd have earned a lot more $$$. Oh well.

Two Worlds again. Arranged the battle between White Head and Hograd or whatever his name is. Then killed White Head. Learned basic Earth and Water magic. Found the Earth element. My 'travelling party' consists of:
A giant spider.
A hell warrior (funky red horned guy)
An Octogron (taller funky red horned guy)
A soul defender (ghost archer)
A Hell Master (big traitor.)
A Reaper (ickle dinosaur thing)

I hate that hell master. He made the Cathalonians hate me.

Completed the first round of import/export missions. Had some trouble finding the sanchez until I found out I was looking for a motorcycle and not a car. They really should show you the cars you're looking for.
Earned the Valet mission asset and made Katie my girlfriend. Currently leveling up my romance with Katie and Michelle.

Finally got my own gamertag on x-box, funny considering it was my 360 we were playing on. I miss on the old x-box when it asked which gamertag you wanted to sign in on automatically.

Anyway, went through Halo 3 the other day, beat it on legendary again on solo, collected all the skulls and the terminals in one fell swoop. Then proceeded to get a gold account and beat some ass.

Not bad for 2 days worth of work.

If you need a list of the cars with images and spawn locations, just ask. Most of the cars are easy to find, but that ones that are hard tend to be ballbreakingly so. At least for me.

Katie's the most important girl. Reach 100% and you can die without losing any $$$ or WEAPONS. Like I said, the most important of them.
