Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

Hi. I have control of my original domain, mancide.net, for the first time in over 15 years. I made a decision to not renew it around 2009 to save myself a whole $12 or whatever the domain registration fee was. Big mistake. I’m not sure what I will do with this, I’m trying to restore…

Night at the Museum is quite possibly the most straight-forward and short game you can play, apart from Avatar, to increase your gamerscore by a quick 1,000 points. The game only has 37 achievements, and most of them are pretty well laid out in-front of you. A few of them require some collectibles, but even those…

Mini Ninjas is quite an entertaining game. The graphics are great, and the overall art-style is quite cute and kid-like. The fact that the enemies turn into small woodland creatures after you defeat them adds to the child-like charm. This game is also a very easy 1000/1000 title, taking me only one play-through and a…

As I progress on my quest to complete Cabela’s Big Game Hunter 2008 to full completion, I got past one of the trickier rival hunt achievements last night. The Cougar cannot hit you during the “battle”, and he is quite sneaky sometimes coming out from the bush giving you little time to react to the…

This has to be one of the most frustrating achievements I have attempted. Trials HD ramps up in difficulty very quickly, and the last four tracks induce controller throwing rage, especially after you watch the replays from the top of the leader-boards to witness the ease they dispose of the challenging sections. Inferno II almost…

So I have been playing a lot of Forza 2 lately in an attempt to finish up all of the races, as well collect all of the achievements I had not. Finishing out all of the races was not bad, but now I will be grinding out races to get the 1,000,000 Online Credits achievement,…

Another Madden game played, another 1000 gamerscore earned. While the 2008 version required a few more games played than 2009 did, it was still pretty easy to rack up the required tasks. Quite a few of them were attainable by letting the computer play the game itself. Some of the final ones I had to…

Forget about just breaking 50,000 this weekend. I rocketed past that number and even managed to break 51,000 as well. Thanks to finishing off Madden 09 and then Disney-Pixar’s Up, I was able to add 2,000 gamerscore last week. I would like to point out that Up is a fun little co-op experience in the…

Madden 09 will put me over the 50,000 gamerscore mark as I work on 100% completion of this game. Last nights total for one game played Franchise game netted me 635 points and seventeen of the twenty-five achievements up for grabs. I’m currently sitting under three-hundred points shy of the 50k mark, so I will…
