I know, what a sham!</p>
<p>Anyways, I had some time to kill this morning before heading off to work&#8211;I woke up annoyingly extra early, showered, made breakfast, and found myself staring at the clock in disgust to be more specific&#8211;so I switched on the Xbox 360 and loaded up some <strong>Hexic HD</strong>. This is a free puzzle game that I like to play from time to time; it&#8217;s not at all calming or soothing, what with its hodgepodge soundtrack, but it wears its addictive values proudly, and I enjoy playing it. Want proof? Well, I unlocked this Achievement after a couple of clearing combos:</p>

<strong>Millionaire Extraordinaire</strong> (25G): 1,000,000 Total Points</p>
<p>That&#8217;s one million points&#8230;collectively. Not in just one game. That&#8217;d be nigh impossible, but this total amount makes perfect sense considering how much I&#8217;ve played <strong>Hexic HD</strong> since I got the system. So that&#8217;s cool. Two other Achievements I&#8217;m actively going after <strong>Hexic Addict</strong> (Complete 100 Games) and <strong>Oyster-meister</strong> (Surround one piece with six starflower pieces), but those will most likely take some time. I&#8217;ve been close a few times on getting a black oyster puzzle piece. Frustratingly close. How anyone eventually ends up getting <em>six</em> of them and then surrounding another piece with all of them is beyond me&#8230;</p>
