Played through the whole of Metal Slug 1. I love it except I don't love the arcade, quarter munching, game mechanics. They throw at you impossible waves of bullets and bombs so you die and have to put in another quarter to continue. I don't have to put the money in, but it's still frustrating to die so much. I never did get really comfortable with the Wiimote ( the classic controller wasn't supported) but it was ok. I downloaded Metal Slug 2 on virtual console for Monday. I can use the classic controller for that. 

Then I turned on Xbox 360 and looked up sales. I found Disney Infinity 3.0 for just under $10. I decided to get that and give Mark my starter pack disc copy. That way, as long as I pick up the playset piece, we can start that on Monday. I've been looking at the figures I got and the starter pack for months now waiting for a second copy to come along so we can play it co-op. Now's the time. 

Then I played Saints Row IV and Mark and I tried co-op play. It was really fun until his system started crashing a lot. I'm not sure what was going on but eventually we gave up on it and just played solo for a while. I didn't have that much time today because I was at a Mother's Day picnic most of the afternoon. I did install all the DLC from the National Treasure edition though. I like chasing those golden robot thingies that show up from time to time. You have to chase them all over the city and then perform a special attack on them to destroy them. They show up as a yellow circle on the minimap. At this point, my Sprint ability is jacked to the max and so I fly like a bullet through the city wrecking everything in my way. I'm almost too jacked. I can barely see my way in the blur of speed. It's like being The Flash or something. 

'til next time pixl-partners. Giddyup. Yah!
