Just a spot of Pokemon (Update 31/1/19)

Today I walked a total of 4km and caught two new Pokemon to add to my Pokédex; Bidoof and Horsea. I’m rather close to evolving my Shuppet and Skiploom... I believe they each only need 2-3 Candies to evolve... 

I also started my Pokemon Journey in Pokemon Red. I choose the best starter Pokemon, of course Squirtle. I called my Squirtle Blaster. I did the base stuff, helping Professor Oak get the parcel to receive the Pokédex, also won my first Rival Battle against, “Blue”. I also made it through Viridian Forest and catch myself my second member of my team, Weedle; calling it Barry, a homage to the amazing Bee Movie. Barry evolves into a Kakuna and then a Beedrill. Leo also evolved into a Wartortle. I also defeated Brock and gained the Badge. Then I began my way to the Mt. Moon... which I always hate through through this long, dark cave with weak under levelled Pokemon...

Perfection #16 - Forza Horizon 4 - Fortune Island DLC

Related image

The Fortune Island DLC throws you on the Far North Scottish Island of Westwick. I discover that the terrain is different with the black sand, deep water and rocking mountains. The weather is a little bit frightening with the torrential rain and the thunder and lightning. Thankfully you are equipped extreme off-road vehicles and speedy cars which can help you power through the mountains and forests. You are entered into the Island Conqueror, a racing event with 10 Rounds, to see who is the Island Conqueror. Each Round of the Island Conqueror, a riddle is revealed to you for the Fortune Island Treasure Hunt. Each Treasure Chest each has £1,000,000 and some also have rare cars in them for you to keep and race.

I completed all 10 Rounds of the Island Conqueror and become the Fortune Island Conqueror. I found all Fortune Island Treasure Chests. I also earn all stars in the Fortune Island Speed Traps, Speed Zones, Danger Signs and Drift Zones. I also earn all 500 Gamerscore from the 24 Achievements.

Difficulty: 3/10
Time to complete: 6 Hours to 100%
Overall Enjoyment: 9/10

I have always enjoyed the Forza Series, but completing all races has always felt like a grind to complete, and it always will. I fought the Fortune Island Riddles and Treasure Hunt was fun, and the achievements were really good as they tested you to do better and upgrade and modify your cars and skills to get through the challenges.

Solrock & Community Drifting (Update 28/1/2019)

I walked a total of 3km today in Pokemon Go, hatching an Abra Egg... my Feebas is 5km away from evolving now. I also caught a Pipulp and Numel which I salvaged for Pokemon Candies; I also caught Solrock for the first time as well.

I played Forza Horizon 4 for a while as well, completing 2 more #FORZATHON Live Events, which made my #FORZATHON Live total at 20, which gave me the achievement "Life of the Party". I also worked on the last 4 Drift Zone Stars I need, only gaining one more star... The Drift Zones I haven't completed yet are; S-Bends, Woodland Walk & Horseshoe Turn.

UPDATES

Battle Plan and Blog...

I have decided that shall "blog" on what progress I have made within video games, may it be; online multiplayer level up, trophies/achievements, collectibles, etc... This will show how far I am from my goals and completions on video games. I this will more than likely not be a daily update as I have a some what busy life with social life and work, but I shall be as active as possible. Yes, I shall still be uploading achievement and trophy posts on the this site just as normal. Yes, I shall be updating with Pokemon Go, as I want to complete the Pokedex within the game.

I have also decided to start a new thing, which I am calling Battle Plan. It's a list of what needs to be done for a new video game I will be starting and completing. For example, I am thinking of starting Pokemon Red for the Nintendo Gameboy. There aren't any achievements in this but completing the game and completing the Pokedex to the best of my ability with one playthrough and without trading. I am also thinking about starting BioShock 2 for the Xbox 360, and as I was willfully reminded, the Xbox Live Marketplace for the Xbox 360 has shut down, I won't be able to play DLC on this copy. Yes I can play the BioShock Collection on Xbox One... I'll probably end up playing that as well. When I have completed this game, I shall show what I have achieved and how long it has taken me to complete.

I shall also reveal my Xbox Username, Playstation Username and Pokemon Go Trainer Code/Friend Number. If people are wanting help with online achievement or wanting multiplayer games, I am more than happy to comply. Just a heads, I won't be doing 1v1, so don't bother asking. Yes, I understand I am not the master at any of these games. Yes, I understand that the YouTuber The Completionist is able to crank out two completions every week, but I have a full time job and physically don't have the time to play video games for a living, though I kinda want to.

Get a time of 40 Seconds or better in the Exomotive Exocet at the Halycon Point Trailblazer Gate - 20

You need to get through the Halycon Point Trailblazer Gate in less than 40 Seconds in the Exomotive Exocet, you can get through the gate without modifying but it is a lot easier if you do. It is faster to go slower, meaning that the more time you spend with your wheels on the ground the faster you'll go, rather flying through the air and crashing which scrubs you speed away.

The Exomotive Exocet is a kit car based on the Mazda MX-5, which has been redesigned for rallying and offroad racing.

You need to get through the Lady Of The Lake Speed Trap at least 180mph in the Koenigsegg CC8S, you can do this without modifying the car, but it is a lot easier if you do.

This is a reference to Koenigsegg, "OG" meaning "Original", as the CC8S was the first production car that Koenigsegg sold, it was also the first production car to reach 240mph.

3 Star the The Forest Run Trailblazer Gate in the Peel P50 - 20

You need to get through the The Forest Run Trailblazer Gate in less than 38 Seconds in the Peel P50, you'll need to highly modify the vehicle to even get close to the target time. The Peel P50 becomes very unstable at high speeds so you'll need extremely gentle with the controls. You can rewind time to get a better and better run as many times as you need.

This is a play on words as Peel of a Citric Fruit is usually full of Zest. The Peel P50 is the smallest ever production car, being sold from 1962 to the present day. You can buy a Peel P50 Kit Car from the factory for less than £3,000. Originally in England, if a "car" had three wheels it counted as a Motor-Trike, so you didn't need to have a full UK Driving License to drive it, same as the Morgan 3-Wheeler and the Reliant Robin.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Special Edition (Xbox One)
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Special Edition is just a remastered edition for the newer generation of consoles, coming with all the DLC and Expansion Packs included. I can't wait to replay the game, last time I played through the game as a Stealth-Based Dark Elf; this time I want to play as a Berserk Warrior Orc... a bit of a chance of pase.

BioShock 2 (Xbox 360)
BioShock 2 is the sequel in the BioShock Trilogy, you wake up as a Big Daddy 10 years after the events of Rapture turning to shit. I haven't played muck of the game yet, but it looks pretty interesting so far. I loved the first game and I thought BioShock Infinite was pretty good as well, the people I've talked to about it weren't found of it but I'll have to see for myself.

The Cornetto Trilogy (Blu-Ray)
The Cornetto Trilogy is the cult-classic trilogy created by Simon Pegg & Nick Frost, including the movies; Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz & The World's End. Shaun of the Dead finds Shaun, an average guy, caught up in a zombie apocalypse. Hot Fuzz finds Officer Angel moving post to a small West Country town where he stumbles upon a huge murder spree, being covered over as accidentas. And finally, The World's End, finds Alcoholic Gary King wanting to pursue a failed mission to have a pint at all 12 pubs in their town. But he and his crew discover not all is want it seems.

Christine (DVD)
Christine is the telling of Steven King's Book of the same name; a possessed 1958 Plymouth Fury. A teenager named Arnie buys the car where he discovers the car's murderous needs.

Marvel Civil War
I haven't read this graphic novel yet but I am looking forward to it. It tells the story of the Superheroes fighting over their rights to help people. Team Cap saying they should help people because it is the right thing to do, while Team Iron Man saying that they are too dangerous and should be controlled by a higher order. 

Venom: Dark Origin
Venom: Dark Origin is an amazing graphic novel, I really enjoyed reading it honestly. It shoes the origins of the Venom Symbiote finding and bonding with the news reporter Eddie Brock.

Ralph Breaks The Internet (Cinema)
Ralph Breaks The Internet tells the story of Wreck'It Ralph and Penelope von Schweetz, Penelope becomes bored of his game and allows Ralph to create a new short cut on one of the tracks. But Penelope wants to take short cuts while the player does, which results in the arcade console becoming broken, so the arcade owner gets an internet router to buy a new part but Ralph and Penelope travel through the wires and access the internet for themselves, but things take a turn for the worse.
