Back to work after extended Holiday vacation
I took the opportunity to take a a few days off work to extend the 4th of July to a 5 day vacation. It felt good to get away from the office for a while.
So what the heck did I do? Yeah, I played some Xbox. Watched a few movies. Started prepping our driveway to get sealed (which it desperately needs). Started a video project with the kids (more on that at a later date). Went to see the fireworks. But mostly chilled out.
I will say I had the best time yesterday with Jonah (my 10 year old). We’ve been slogging our way through the Halo series on Legendary (the hardest difficulty level). We were stuck on a level for a while but we muscled our way through it with some strategy. Once we made it through we were screaming and bouncing around. What a rush! Then we managed to make it through another level which also broke out in celebration. What a great time! I’m pretty proud of his skills.
I managed to whip up a few more offers over at YourFree360Games.com and get my order in for Too Human. That went fast. It took less than 2hr for the offers to report back complete and I had it ordered.
My freebie line up looks as such:
- Waiting to go ”complete”:
- $100 EB/Gamestop gift card (2x)
- $50 EB/Gamestop gift card
- 12mo Xbox Live card + $50 EB/Gamestop gift card
- Completed:
- Xbox Live Arcade: Unplugged (on it’s way)
- Xbox 360 wireless controller (2x)
- Mass Effect (ordered)
- Too Human (ordered)
Woo! That’s a lot of stuff. Granted I paid a few bucks for trial’s and such but the return is great. I have a feeling that for two of the giftcards I’m going to have to request manual credit - which sucks since it only extends the wait. I’m pretty much done with available offers at YourFree360Games.com. I’ve exhausted most of the decent ones. I’ll have to hold off on that for a while now.
Well, back to work.
