Oooh check me out, I'm dancin' I'm dancin'!

Good morning!
I just woke up so if any of this post doesn't make sense, that's my excuse. laugh

So yesterday my bf and I decided it would be fun to try and get the Windows 8 achievements. We installed it on an older PC that was just collecting dust in the closet. There are 3 games you can get a total of 10 achievements for, Solitaire Collection (Win 8)Minesweeper (Win 8), and Microsoft Mahjong (Win 8). I have to say these are the easiest achievements I've ever earned, lol. Flip over a card in solitaire... trigger a mine in Minesweeper... change the theme in Mahjong... yeah really! haha

I didn't take any pics so I'm borrowing this one. :) 3 completed games, 115 gamerscore, and 10 minutes later... Windows 8 games done! However these games do not have timestamps. cry
If you want to do this yourself, keep in mind all of the warnings on the download page.

This evaluation version cannot be upgraded, so I recommend a separate hard drive (or a partition) or PC you don't care about.

Moving on... more Dynasty Warriors! Here's my progress:

Feels so close yet so far away! After I finish up unlocking all of those tiles I'll have to continue playing until all of the officers are leveled up 100%. Not sure how much time that will take but I know it's going to be super long, haha. Played that for a little while yesterday until...

My bf and one of his friends managed to pull me away from the Dynasty Warriors 7 grind to play some Borderlands (JP Ver) co-op! We all have Japanese consoles so why not play one of our favorite games of all time... again for stackable gamerscore? clap I had soooo much fun. We have all played the game several times before so we knew exactly how to play, where to go, what to do.... so we got through a lot of the game very quickly. 
Even moving that fast we managed to goof around, especially in the vehicles. It was like a demolition derby every time we'd drive from point A to B, haha. Usually it was just crashing into each other's car but then this happened (couldn't resist taking a picture):

We smashed into each other and created archway in front of Fyrestone, lol. Good times.
I usually prefer playing the commando class in Borderlands for the turret and the team regen class mods, but my guy wanted to play that class. My bf's buddy always plays the hunter. To reduce competition for gear, I decided to play a siren. I've never played her before and to be honest I'm not a fan of her skill tree/abilities. But I'm having a great time playing co-op with my friends and that's what counts, right?toast
I earned more gamerscore in Borderlands JP yesterday than I have in DW7 for the week+ I've been playing it, haha. We all have plans to knock out some more Borderlands tonight and I'm very much looking forward to it. clap

Still waking up so I need something energetic to get the blood pumping... so here's one of my favorite songs:

I went and saw Paul van Dyk in concert a couple years ago and he puts on an AMAZING show, I recommend (if you're into this type of music). music
