Completed Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel (Update 22/4/20)

So I completed the Story Missions for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel as well as at least 25 Side Mission to get the an extra achievement. I played as the DLC Character Baroness Aurelia Hammerlock. She was quiet a fun class to fun through with, I played a little of The Gladiator; Athena & the Gunslinger; Sheriff Nisha, but I found Aurelia to be fun and easier to handle out of the three I choose. I plan on going back and completed all of the Side Missions & as well as defeating the Raid Boss, the Invincible Sentinel. I ended up finishing the Story at Level 27. So, I don't know if that's a normal level for completion or earlier or late... either way, I only died once during the last boss fight, which was a little annoying but not too terrible, I think.

Wasting time in Destiny 2 (Update 18/4/20)

So I redownloaded Destiny 2, in hopes of getting two achievements I've wanted for a while: "Zavala's Lieutenant" & "Cayde's Pathfinder". Which is to acquire each of the Titan & Hunter Subclasses. Which it turns out I have already done, but not got the achievements for? So that was rather annoying to find that out. I ended up speedrunning through the Campaign with both Titan and Hunter, doing some other missions, using all three Subclasses of each Class... and none of the achievements popped. Which felt like a waste of time, but it was really great to go back and play Destiny 2 for a while. I forgot how good it was when I played originally.

Either way, I uninstalled Destiny 2 and redownloaded Assassin's Creed II, because I am short of two achievements: "No-hitter" & "Podesta a Monteriggioni". Which is to kill 10 Enemies while remaining in conflict without being hit & reach 80% of your stronghold's total value. Which I know I can get "No-hitter" quiet quickly, but it might be a bit of a grind getting the stronghold's total value to 80%... but that's the plan for tomorrow.

Scratch that, the data is not transferred to Xbox One, via the Xbox 360 Disc... so I'm redownloading Borderlands: Pre-Sequel because I never completed the campaign but I felt it was trying too hard to funny? I loved Borderlands 2 & The Tales from the Borderlands Tell-Tale Series, but Pre-Sequel just didn't click with me, so we'll see what's like on the replay through the Campaign, Side-Quests and Achievements. 

I also built up the LEGO Speed Champions 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon & 1970 Dodge Charger R/T up, and it looks really good with the rest of the 2019 Speed Champion Series, I'm only missing the Porsche to complete the set. In case you didn't know, the other passion and true love in life is cars. I honestly can't get enough of them. Love it all ranging from driving, working on my cars to watching Top Gear or any other Youtube/TV Show about them and how they work.

Collection Update #20

Collection Update #20
(April, 2020)

Assassin's Creed II (Xbox 360)
Assassin's Creed II XBOX 360: Amazon.co.uk: PC & Video Games

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered (Xbox One)
PRE-ORDER all Of Duty Modern Warfare Remastered Xbox One £28.85 ...

LEGO Speed Champions - 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon and 1970 Dodge Charger
LEGO Speed Champions Dodge Challenger & Dodge Charger 75893 ...

LEGO Speed Champions - 1967 Mini Cooper S Rally and 2018 Mini John Cooper Works Buggy
Lego Speed Champions Mini 1967 Montecarlo & 2018 Dakar 75894 ...

Assassin's Creed II is hands down still the best Assassin's Creed game ever made. The story is amazing, the graphics looked amazing at the time and the controls were a defiant improvement from the previous installment. It's also just my personal favourite from the series.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered is an amazing re-release for Modern Warfare. I have played and completed MWR already, but it was with Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, I just wanted the separate game for my collection, especially because I love this Call of Duty game, tied for personal favourite with Black Ops.

LEGO Speed Champions Dodge Challenger & Charger are pretty cool, especially the 1970 Charger, I think that build it amazingly detailed; also the Demon is such as a great piece of engineering on Dodge's half.

LEGO Speed Champions Minis are pretty cool as well, I really like the Classic Mini, but the Mini Buggy is pretty cool as well - even though I think the rubber band suspension on the buggy looks a but odd. I really like the Buggy Rally "garage" as well with that little build. I'm only missing the Speed Champions Porsche, then I have completed 2019 Speed Champions Set. Blame it on the Forza Horizon 4 Expansion Pack...

I also got Disney+, I might review a couple of shows, films or shorts if I think it's worth it.

LEGO DC Super-Villains Completion (Update 17/4/20)

So I completed LEGO DC Super-Villains; unlocked all vehicles and characters, completed all challenges, collect all Gold Bricks and got 100% & completed all the DLC Missions as well. But with this quarantine and self-isolation, I feel a need to play more games, I don't know why I haven't played anything in the last 2 months, but I got the itch again...

So I plan for every new game I completed, I move on to a game I've had in my collection for a while, which I've played but never completed as much as I felt was necessary. Therefore, I am redownloading Destiny 2. I first plan to acquire each Titan Subclass & Hunter Subclass, as I have already done my Warlock. Then we'll see where we're at and see what we can done afterwards. I will try my best to update as much as possible.

The Master Criminal & The Master Architect (Update 4/2/20)

In Skyrim, made a hard save and build up a bounty of at least 1,000 Gold in each of the nine holds. I did this by stealing and killing people & guards. Then I ran away so I could fast travel to another hold, where I rinsed and repeated. This gave me the 20 Gamerscore Achievement "Master Criminal", then I allowed myself to be caught in Whiterun, throwing me in Jail. There I was able to making another save, just in case my lockpick broke, picked the lock and escape via the tunnels. This gave me the 10 Gamerscore Achievement "Escape".

After playing the game for a while, I've built up a bunch of materials and gold, so I was able to buy 3 plots of land and build 3 Houses, each with 3 Wings to each house. The houses are; Windstad Manor, Lakeview Manor & Heljarchen Hall. Having all three houses gave me 2 more Achievements, worth a total of 20 Gamerscore; "Land Baon" & "Master Architect". I also went around towns and cities picking locks and picking pockets to get up to 50 of each, getting the 30 Gamerscore Achievement "Thief".

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is a major staple in the Call of Duty Franchise, still being one of the best games in the series. I owe the Remastered Game already, I remember playing the game at my friend's house when I was younger, but I never owned the game itself. It was more of a collection buy, but I played through the game and I'm planning on completing it anyways.

Jumanji: The Next Level was okay. I didn't watch the other newer Jumanji film until late last year. I get why they are making the films, besides money; to capture younger viewers because it features video games, as well as The Rock is unable to say no to a film deal atm. I mean...  he's been in 13 films in the last 5 years, as of the year of 2020... the film was alright but it was just a lot of "thank god for the random bullshit", and that just keeps happening and it becomes real boring, real quick.

Star Wars - Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker was a massive improvement on Episode XIII, but not not as good as Episode XII. I thought the weird forced love between Rey and Kylo at the end was odd, and Rey saying she's a Skywalker now really pissed me off. Zorii Bliss is an odd character because we are just thought to believe that she matters... she doesn't because she has next to no backstory. The Knights of Ren was great. The Emperor's return was pretty great. Rey being the granddaughter of the Emperor was cool as well. The was visually amazing, I loved the inclusion of Lando as well, but it was pretty expected after seeing a young Lando in the Solo Film. On the whole, the movie nearly redeems Episode XIII, but doesn't make me want to watch the trilogy all over again, like the Original Trilogy does.

The Italian Job is probably one of the greatest films ever made. Full spot. No more waffle needed to explain my point. I saw in the sales, I picked it up, job's a good'un.

Batman Ninja is a really cool and interesting idea and different take on Batman. I never read the comics but the movie looks really great. I haven't watched it yet but I'm looking forward to it.

I finally have a complete collection of the Pokemon - Detective Pikachu Promo Cards. It's taken a little while but I finally have them all. Along with the Pokemon Trading Card Book, it looks really great all together. I don't play the Trading Card game but I'm happy to have all Promo Cards as an item in my growing collection.

The Aetherium Shield & Vampirism Cure (Update 2/2/20)

In Skyrim, I completed the "Lost to the Ages" & "Rising at Dawn" Quests, which I ended up getting the Aetherium Shield and being cured of Vampirism as rewards.
