Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2 - Reality Unknown

thougt i would start posting with my most played game at the moment, which is black ops 2.

had the game since the day of release and in that time i have just over 6 days of online play time, in said time if have managed to do the following:

completed the boot camp challenges.
completed the campaign on normal difficulty - twice.
maxed out the levels on the assault rifles and the launchers
i have diamond camo on the assault rifles
i have 1 tripple kill with the RPG to get diamond camo on the lauchers.
i have the gold camo on the HAMR light machine gun left to get before i have diamond on the LMGs
i am currently (right now) level 51 on 7th prestige
i have done all the reticules for red dot, ACOG, Hybrid and Eotec sights.



they are, i guess the main things i've done.



in a way this will be a list of the stuff i've done on black ops and i expect i'll make a couple more for the other games i play.


update - 5th of april

now have diamond camo on my light machine guns and i have also maxed out their level on each
i am currently level 50 on 8th prestige

started the first mission of the campaign for the 3rd time only now i'll be going through it on veteran for the achievements, assuming i ever feel like playing single player.

FIFA 13 Ultimate team (FUT)

This is a great feature to FIFA am has been around a long time, it is a very addictive part of the game which sees me engaged in it every time I am on FIFA .
It has taken a long hard trek for me to get a team worthy of competing but some have done it quick.
After year of having the game I have built up 7 teams. My best team is a Barclays prem team with hot shots such as van persie , tevez, michu inform, and many more.
As seen below


I would stay stick at it and your team will take place.

FIFA 13 FUT

On recommendation I got into FUT (Fifa Ultimate Team - I think). I can see the appeal but being a football noob, I'm finding it very difficult to get a decent squad.

Note to myself: bidding does not work like in eBay. You max bid is your bid regardless what the lower bid was. So if you don't want waste coin like I did, bid the next available bid up and watch it.

Tomb Raider Xbox 360 gamepad

Just got my first custom skin gamepad ever. I traded in my very old gamepad and got this beauty for half price. It feels very similar to the normal gamepad but it looks much cooler. Engraved scratches feel great when you holding it as well. Underneath it's all black except one little logo on the battery pack. I was never keen to spend extra money on gimmicks like this but I'm glad I got this one.

Minecraft - Brewing and Enchanting Part 3

Part 3 here and an introduction to brewing. Potions can be very powerful I personally like the potion of fire resistance as I used one of these in a game session on oldgamerz once and climbed up a lava stream and made away with a ton of goodies!

First things first you will need a brewing stand. To craft one you will need some cobblestone and a blaze rod. Blaze rods can be found in the nether and are dropped when you kill a blaze. If you have already been following and have made yourself an enchantment table you will already have a diamond pick axe and have found a lava source. You will need to make a nether portal from obsidian. Make sure that you have a couple of iron swords and plenty of food to keep your hunger bar up.

Once you have ventured into the nether you will be looking for a nether fortress they aren't hard to miss and can be quite vast. If you explore this for a while you are sure to bump into a blaze spawner as pictured below they are quite strong so try and make sure you have a corner that you can run back around. Once you have a couple of blaze rods you can return back to the overworld try and make sure you leave a sensible path back as you will need to return to the fortress to gather brewing ingredients.

Minecraft - Brewing and Enchantment Part 2

Time for part 2. I'm going to cover enchanting in this post. You will need to craft yourself an enchanting table, some bookcases and some items to enchant.

An enchantment table uses the number of bookcases to control the enchantment level that is available to you which is between 1 and 30. Enchanting uses your experience points that you have earned by slaying mobs, mining, smelting, etc.

To craft the enchantment table you will need some diamonds some obsidian and a book. Before you start mining I recommend that you build a small sugar cane farm because you require plenty of books to build your bookcases and whilst you are in the mine the sugarcane will be growing.

Once you have your materials to craft your bookcases and enchantment table you can start to place the items you need to place the bookcases two blocks away from the enchanting table with nothing in between them. You can place the bookcases on the same level as the enchantment table or one block higher. I organised mine in the pattern displayed in the picture.

All that is left now is to enchant some items you need to use the enchantment table in the same way you would a furnace or chest. Then you place your item to be enchanted on the table you will then be provided with a list of enchantments to choose from. These are all random the only thing that you can see is the experience level. If you want to see lower level enchantments you could try putting a torch in between some of the bookcases and the table to limit the level of enchantments available.

This covers enchanting next time we need to venture into the nether to obtain materials and ingredients for brewing.
