Race Update

I feel that, since they are both currently at work, now is the best time to update their progress.

Faith: 6,481
Tiz: 7,761

Last night they shared a few hours playing XBLA Compilation Disc, visiting such games as Uno and Luxor 2. This is great, that their race isn't ruining their fun gaming time; but it is messing with my sleep :(.

Next on Faith's plate is to finish Oblivion, even if I have to force-feed her.

Keep at it guys!

Sickly

A quick update:
Progress: 18,055 G
Precentage: 44.4% (18,055/40,650)

Despite feeling down and flu-ish the past two days, I've managed to achieve quite a few memorable feats for myself.

Just a moment ago, I decided to give Aegis Wing (Free XBLA Game) and the achievement "Ace" (185,000 points) a random try. To my success, I cheer at 188,710 score, the achievement, and another game 100% completed. It did take determination, as I killed nearly every enemy physically possible on Normal mode. Definitly something to remember, and rub in my friends faces :P.

Note: You may or may not have noticed that, if you were following the calcuations, the %age sounds wrong. I did some housekeeping and deleted some games that I had no interest or ability to play anymore (such as Shrek the Third). This altered my %age a bit, I believe boosting me from a starting 40ish to 42%, without gaining one achievement. Sorry if you think it's a cheap way of getting a better % :)

P.s.: Happy 28th birthday Jake!

Precentage Goal

Because I am an avid completionist, I would love to raise my precentage. Buying a new game almost weekly, it's hard to keep up; so I'm going to re-visit some older games and start cleaning house. There is a downside however; Some games I do not own anymore, such as Rock Band 2, and I only earned one achievement. This of course will lower my rate, so I'll have to work harder on the games I do own. I also cannot get DLC for most of the games I have due to lack of cash at the moment.

Currently: 17,650/43,850 G
Percent: 40.25%
Goal for Sunday Nov. 8th: 50%

eBash Gaming Hub

Progress: 17,650

Recently Accomplished:
100% Air Bender: TBE
50% Fight Night Round 3

Today I stepped outside of my regular gaming area (My room) and visited a video gaming center where you pay a monetary fee to play as many games as you can stomach for a set period of time. It's called eBash.

Doing this opened up more game options; such as Air Bender: TBE. The easiest 1,000 gamerscore in the world. I also spent about an hour and a half on Fight Night Round 3, which is a decent game. The play is alright, but it feels a bit slow-paced.

The rivalry between Faith and Tiz seemed to die down when Faith became discouraged at Tiz's GS gaining rate, so she aptly quit the race, for a day. But upon visiting eBash and conquering the 1,000 GS on Air Bender, her motivation went through the roof as she started playing Peter Jackson's King Kong, and continued to play it for several hours. Tiz enjoyed the new installment to his favorite game series; Need for Speed Undercover; a stunningly good game.

Their race is going strong as Faith is running through Soul Calibur 4 as I type.

Faith: 6,066
Tiz: 7,335

...a modest difference.

Gaming Day

It is a fresh saturday morning, and I plan to spend some time with some games.

My priority today will be Soul Calibur 4, X-Blades, and maybe finish off Project Gotham Racing 4's career mode.

If I start feeling it later, I might level up in Enchanted Arms, or even Infinite Undiscovery; but I'm not sure yet. Either way, gamerscore time :).

Uncivil Rivalry

As sure as the wind blows, achievements will be earned. Throughout my Xbox 360 career, I've influenced several friends of mine to become more knowledgable about gamerscore and it's meaning. I, myself, have even discovered some things here and there too. Recently, I suppose I rubbed off onto my friend and girlfriend.

They have decided to start a G-war (Gamerscore War). Though I love a good competition, I cannot really compete considering their extremely busy lives, so it is solely (for now) between them two alone. Although, he does claim he will catch up to me. Ha.

It started off with roughly him having a 700-point advantage, and as last week and the week before progressed, the gap grew and shrank at critical moments. He is currently in the lead, sad to say. He even gave her a crutial 3-day weekend to play catchup, but she failed to accomplish much :(. I think her strategy of 'surprise' isn't working out so well...so far.

Him: 6,130
Her: 4,701

Goodluck Faith & Tiz!

P.s. Hope either of you catch me ;).

The First Steps

In beginning my career-goal to reach the infamous 7 digits in gamerscore, I have set aside patience and heartache to endure whatever possible to achieve this feat. No achievement left behind is a good theory I will be attempting to incorporate into my goal-action plan, assuming I have the capabilities. There will be some unobtainable, such as the terrible Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter's "World Champion" achievement. Google it if you don't already know what it is.

The beginning was simple;

My current progress: 15,690 G

Need For Speed: Most Wanted

Near-Completion: () = Missing
Resident Evil 5 (DLC only)
