Every time I hit a wall, I'd backtrack to level up. Got kind of frustrating grinding like that after a while though.

I got the Batman stuff at Walmart. I'll have to check Target now. Thanks.

I like the Fast and Furious Dodge Chargers. My favorite Hot Wheels as a kid was a pink Dodge Charger who's chasis would pop up to reveal the engine.

I saw some Forza Horizon Hot Wheels as well. I wish they'd do more video game tie-ins. I'd like a Mass Effect Mako and any Borderlands vehicles.

I've gone for those achievement twice now in this game and each time I had the same corner's of the map unfounded. It was weird to have the achievement pop up at the exact same time in both versions of the game, X360 and XBO.

Yea, I've had a few games effect me with their story or with the situations I was put in. More could be done with that. There's a lot of power there when you are controlling a character. You're more inside the story and it can effect you more. We just need more games that aren't just action movies, I guess. 

Me too. They have these mats with road patterns on them for Hot Wheels. That made me think of when I used to play on my grandparent's persian rugs with my hot wheels. I'd use the patterns as roads and then act out little stories with the cars. 

I think I took that test once. I should go take it again to see what I get. 

Oh, I was ENTJ once. That's The Commander. Weird. 

Well, we got a Diddy Kong game at least. Who's Diddy Kong related to again?

I'm fairly awful at this game. Or the game is making me awful. I can't decide yet. Sometimes I just want the enemies to stop chasing me so I can explore instead of shoot. This is something my friend Mark can only barely tolerate when we play co-op. 

They are kind of bulky like tractors. I can totally see that. They're also generally bouncing over hills and stuff like the way tractors bounce around a lumpy field. Ha ha. That's kind of funny. 

Games have a lot of potential to influence us for good. Maybe the mechanics of gaming gets in the way a little bit. You're always doing something active and so gameplay is somewhat like a sport. How can you derive empathy from a sport? I'm not saying it can't be done. Certainly it can. Maybe it's just hard to get someone to kick a ball for truth.
