Weekly Update – 300 Games

Posted on 10/08/2016 Written by
I've been playing quite a bit of Destiny with my Titan on light level 296. Having finished the main Taken King campaign, I am now looking at the various sub-quests. Hopefully will get a UGVM team together to tackle the raid.

I'm enjoying playing the odd crucible match every day to get legendary marks, will hopefully get enough soon to purchase some year 1 exotics I love like the Suros Regime.


Played some more Lego Star Wars with my daughter (although having issues uploading the video to YouTube due to various copyrights on the sound, if I can't figure it out today I will play the levels again with the music turned off).

Not played much Pokemon Go recently got annoyed by the constant wasting of poke-balls to catch Pokemon. Hopefully this has been fixed in the latest update. Current pokedex stats are Caught 61 Seen 63 annoying Rhyhorn got away this week after using lots of raspberries & great balls.

Completed the 300th game in a row on Lost Cities with Carl recently.










Need to play the next episode in the Walking Dead game & looking forward to No Man's Sky hopefully arriving in the post today.

Lost Cities – Winning with no coins

Posted on 16/03/2015 Written by
In a recent game against Carl I managed to win without playing a single coin card.

It was a close though with Carl getting 62 points of the white cards.

Lost Cities – 200 Games !!

Posted on 28/01/2015 Written by
Since August 2014 we have completed another 100 games.


Easily my most played game on iOS & possibly my most game played ever. It's a shame the game does not offer you more player stats information.

Against the computer I've scored 9,693 points and taking an average of 30 points per game that is 323 games. Online I have a staggering 40,149 which is nearly 35K above the next UGVM player (Carl on 5K), taking my 30 points average I have played 1,338 games !!

Total together I'm looking at approx nearly 1,661 games, if I take an average of 10mins per game that is an amazing 276 hours !!

If that is correct then that beats the 250+ hours I have spent playing Destiny.
I've moved on from Destiny for now but thanks to the iOS platform my love of board games is growing with the recent Fluxx taking it's place along side Lost Cities, Ticket to Ride, Carcassonne & Words with Friends.

Thoroughly enjoy playing with Carl on these board games, "Cheers" and look forward to the next 100 games.

Lost Cities – Complete Set

Posted on 20/10/2014 Written by
Managed to get a full set of all the numbers in a recent game of Lost Cities.

Shame I did not get more coin cards to apply to the colour.

Still a great game, even though there are Game Center issues with iOS 8 (which is why I have not updated, I'm still on iOS 7).

Lost Cities – New High Score

Posted on 03/09/2014 Written by
Beat my previous high score of 149 (also against Luffers) setting a new high score of 179.

I was lucky to start off the game with two coin cards & high yellow cards, along the way I managed to draw more yellow cards to score big.

Luffers response via twitter "How am I supposed to compete against that? Just Impossible!"

Lost Cities – 100 Games

Lost Cities is quickly becoming my most played iOS game, a very quick & easy game to learn but difficult to master.

I've enjoyed 100 games against Carl "The Board Game Geek" winning 66 games. I broke the 100 game barrier against Luffers a couple of months ago. I've now racked up nearly 500 online game wins.

Lost Cities – 100 Games

Not much gaming at all the past couple of weeks with the World Cup to enjoy. I think I have managed about an hour of Zelda Wind Waker but I do still get time for iOS gaming.

Playing the 100th game of Lost Cities against Luffers, I've got a 12 game lead.

Lost Cities – Winning Streak

Posted on 22/04/2014 Written by

The majority of my posts are now done via the iOS Blogger app thus it's very easy to take a screenshot & post.

Luffers is on a bad streak at the moment in Lost Cities :)
