3 Songs to Go
The latest obsession I’ve had is getting the ’5-Star all Songs on Medium’ achievement in Guitar Hero II for the 360. I’ve only got 3 songs to go: Madhouse, Psychobilly Freakout, and Carry Me Home. I was worried for a while that this one was too much for me, but I think it’s more or less something I’m capable of. However, I can’t remember working harder for a single achievement in a very long time. The funny part is that as far as Guitar Hero goes, there are still two higher difficulty levels! I’ll continue to update this post as I get closer. I’m not sure if I’m going to keep up with the game after I get this achievement, but we’ll see. There are a few other achievements still within my reach, and I like an even 500 points or greater on retail games, so I’ve got a little room to grow there.
Other than that, been playing some of The Orange Box. The graphics are suitably improved from the previous version of the game (HL2), and I’m having a good time with it. I enjoy the fact that the achievements are fairly irreverent. Also, I bested 10,000 achievement points recently. Congrats to me!
Edit 12/19 – Still 3 to go, but I’m very close to getting Psychobilly Freakout. Next time I get a chance to pick up the game I assume I’ll probably be able to get 5 stars on it.
Edit 12/24 – Down to 1 song – Carry Me Home by The Living End. I need to get to 118,000 or so, and I’m at 107,000, give or take. I also took the time to start working though hard, but I doubt I’ll finish it.
Edit 1/2 – Done! Couldn’t get past 114,000 for the longest time, then I picked it up tonight and scored 150,000 on the first try. I also got the 300K achievement (Free Bird, medium). I’m over halfway through hard now, but I think I’m going to give it a rest for a bit. The Darkness and The Orange Box are calling me…
