Hello, world. It’s Monday, and the new week can officially start.
I played Saints Row: the Third while we were at Shady Acres. I’ve been stuck on Kinzie’s guardian angel mission for a week now, and it was a bottleneck to advancing the story. I’d be fine through the sniper stage of the mission, but I kept blowing up her car during the escort stage. Every time I would load up the game, I would try the mission a couple of times, fail, and move on to something else. After a week of this, there isn’t much else anymore. There are only three more vehicles on my shopping list. Honestly, being at Shady Acres was probably the only way I would have completed those missions– I had nothing else to do but figure that shit out. Eventually – I figure at least 20 attempts total – I kept Kinzie’s ass alive long enough to complete the mission…
… only to be greeted with another fucking keep-Kinzie-alive mission.
It wasn’t 20+ attempts, but I did, eventually, complete that mission as well. At that point, the next batch of story-related missions became available. Not long after that, I took over another gang’s base, making it my newest swingin’ sex pad.
We’re back to work today. I’m hoping this week is better than last week’s waste of time.
