Consoles are for playing! I am glad paul thurrott picked up on that yesterday... Gamerscore is a respectful 32,129 points. He rallied COD: Black Ops II, and did it while drooling over my awesome graphics and sound. | permalink

paul thurrott's Weekly Recap - May 20 2013

My eye! It burns! A weekly recap is all that can save me! Here goes: 2 days of gaming made me pretty happy for some reason. A big holler to paul thurrott for honoring me with what little time I know is available. We added 20 points of gamerscore. Points are good! Those 2 achievements were worth it I guess!

I prodded paul thurrott to try a new game: Angry Birds Rio. It was a lot cooler than I thought it would be.

And that is the news for now... Check back next week... same bat time, same bat channel... | permalink

This entry is a little different than the others. It is a recap of the last week of gaming. Check it: It is a good one! paul thurrott had seven days of gaming! In a row! I know! Crazy! I was looking for gamerscore, but the total gain was zero.
