Burnout satisfied my need for racing that at least looked more realistic than Mario Kart back in the 2000s. Unfortunately other than a remake of Burnout Paradise that recently released it didn't survive the 7th generation.

Before we get started the breakfast of choice is leftover Wienerschnizel bacon wrapped hot dogs and what’s left of my chili cheese fries. This was actually supposed to be my dinner from last night but all I ate was the majority of the chili cheese fries while watching 90 Day Fiance. So Wienerschnizel is a hot dog chain where most of their food involves chili and cheese. I loved the place as a kid because the building is a long triangle with a slot cut in the middle for drive thru. Anyways as I wait for the impending heart burn and me questioning my breakfast choice let’s recap what I played.
Chris Finishes Two Games!
NFS Heat - Steam via Origin: So I already finished the main storyline, and the Black Market Storyline, so all that was left was to collect the Ultimate+ parts from racing Heat Level 5 races, collecting everything in the game (Flamingos, Spray Tags, and Billboards), and 3 stars on Drift and Speed Trap sections. My personal bonus was to buy every car in the game. On Friday I was about 80% finished, so Saturday was basically grab all the collectables and a couple of hours later, and thanks to online maps, I collected everything.
Overall the game was a lot of fun. Race, earn cash, flip it to night mode to earn rep points, get chased by the cops, rinse repeat. I spent I believe $27 on the deluxe version and I think I got everything out of it without playing online. There was a feature where every race saves your time and compares it to other people in your crew. Since I never changed my crew I was with other new people so it was fun to see where everyone stands. Straight up races I finished in the middle of the pack but drifting I was usually 1st or 2nd which is funny considering I’m not a fan of drifting in this game. It’s not as easy as earlier NFS games.
I posted these two cards on Twitter. Since there is a solid car customization feature in this game I made two cars from the movies. There is a Boss Mustang so I will probably make Elenor from Gone in 60 Seconds.
Halo: Spartan Strike - Steam: This was a Sunday play through and full disclosure I used the WeMod Trainer for infinite ammo/health/credits and no reloading/overheating of weapons. Yeah full god mode. Yup random Halo guy waltz into 3/4 angle battle to take down the bad guys (no idea what they are called but they’re aliens). I like this game, the original game was fun, and this was just as fun and I got to learn something about Halo lore. This game is supposed to be a simulation of the events that take place in Halo 2 and Halo 4. Looks like I’m going to play Halo 2 and Halo 4. It’s a fun twin stick shooter and if I played the game like the developers wanted me to I would have used a lot more strategy than stand in the middle shooting off rockets while listening to the computer voice give me directions. There were some quirky points where controls were a little annoying, but will probably make me scream if/when I play my copy on the iPad, but that was the only major flaw in the game for me. Another fun game.
The Other Games
Madden 20 - Steam: I think my Cowboys Franchise is nearing the point when it is time to start rebuilding. The offense isn’t as explosive, and one of my go to receivers can’t catch anymore, to the point where I traded him out of frustration to Cleveland for OBJ who really can’t catch in this game just so I can start other players. This season maybe the last ride for my core group before I blow it up and start bringing in other talent.
Alright Pixlpeeps I am off. There’s blogs to be read. Have a good week!
That’s all for now, more later!
