Sittin in a Diner...

I can honestly say I'm not a big art fan. Graffiti is cool if its actually something artistic and not just obnoxious gang tagging but other then that there is very little art pieces I enjoy. Except for Nighthawks by Edward Hopper. More than likely your pretty much guranteed to have seen it before(especially if you look at the top of this post), so there's not a big need for me to explain what it looks like to you then. So i should just get on to why I like it. I like it because it's...gloomy and dark. Full of sadness and isolation. For me it conjures up images of nights out at Starbucks just hanging out, drinking a coffee, thoughts of my own and what-not. Each patron in that diner wheather there with someone or not is off on their own. They're all in their own little worlds with nothing around them to bring them out of it. Then there's outside the diner, where nothing seems to be happining, no street lights, no open stores, nada. It brings about those times at around 3am when you can be driving about yet all the streets are empty and quiet, not a soul in sight, and its weird and quiet. That last person on earth vibe.
Ok I'm done, I hope this was coherrant because sometimes when I talk and type thoughts usually just come spilling out my head in a strange order.

I'm so tired of crazy hard achievements!!!

If your a owner of Microsoft's Xbox 360 or at least have played one then you are probably familiar with the achievement system. If not then I'll go over it pretty quick, for the games on the 360 there are achievements which are obtained by achieving(get it?) certain things throughout playing the game(such as completing levels or maybe getting a thousand headshots). Now, anytime you unlock an achievement you get this nifty lil points that add to your gamerscore. Each amounts points given usually correlates to the difficulty, such as finishing an entire game on the hardest difficulty might net you 150/200 gamerpoints. Get it? Got it? Good.
Ok now my problem with some achievements is that i've noticed they require you do some very difficult things and reward you with very meager points. Such as in Ninja Gaiden 2. There is eight weapons to eviscerate your opponents with, ranging from the regular katana to a giant Scythe. Now each weapon has its own achievement for beating the game AGAIN with using only that individual weapon.
Now, take a guess how many points they would offer you for beating the game eight times over and over and over and over and over and over and over? 30? 40? NO!!! they offer a miniscule 5 gamerpoints to beat the game each time.
I guess if your not a person who plays on an xbox 5 points might seem great, but its not. especially in the face of people on xboxlive who have a gamerscore in excess of 100,000.
In actuallity I don't think I can blame xbox. Because for all I know they have no control over what each achievement award is given but all I'm trying to say is that if you're going to make us gamers work hard for something it'd be a little more satisfying if the reward was better?
