Lost Soul

Progress 23,687 G
Goal 1: 30,000 G (78.95%)
Goal 2: Luxor 2 (62%)
Goal 3: Infinite Undiscovery's 'Filthy Rich' (10%)
Goal 4: Assassin's Creed II (0%)

For the past two weeks, I have officially sold my soul to Infinite Undiscovery. In a little over 10 days, I have beaten the game 3 times and picked up every last achievement, spare Filthy Rich. Clocking over 90 hours of gameplay, I sleep and dream Infinite Undiscovery; It's making me sick, but I'm glad I'm nearly finished with the game! Alls left is to earn 99,999,999 Fol (in-game currency), which is more of a boring time waster than hard or complex.

I've neglected many things this past week, nutrition, my girlfriend, hygiene, you name it. Thankfully, I have my soul back, and Faith is back in town. So no more 70+ hours of Xbox a week for me!

Over the next few days I will be beginning Assassin's Creed II, and finishing up Luxor 2. I'll also try to reach the 99 million Fol in IU.

NEW GOAL: 100% Infinite Undiscovery
NEW GOAL: 100% Assassin's Creed II

Vacation, Repair, Turkey

Progress: 23,072 G (Makes me want to cry)

Recently Accomplished:
Screwed my GS over big time.

Since it's been a few days since the last update, theres much to talk about.

For starters, last week I set upon myself a new goal of 30,000 G by New Years. With less than 7,000 to go, and just over a month, I'll have to crunch to complete this task.

I also have set upon myself as of a few hours ago a new goal for New Years; 100% Luxor 2, the XBLA game. After hearing Tiz complain about it, and watching Faith spend hours on it, I realized it's high time for me to indulge myself and see what all the fuss is about. Well, I dug my ditch deep this time. With 88 levels, 3 difficulties (that do not stack!), and at 10+ minutes a level, it'll be a real task to finish this game off. From now until New Years, I'll update my progress in this game.

A few days ago I also started my trek into Square Enix's Infinite Undiscovery; a game I've had my sights set upon for quite some time. With only 15 hours of game play, I've nearly completed my Normal difficulty run-through. I've also picked up a majority of the achievements, such as situational bonuses and complete/IC related ach's. Hopefully before Sunday (Nov. 22) I'll have my Normal run-through completed, and perhaps even my Hard run.

All of this is in preparation for Thanksgiving, which is approaching rapidly. Faith is currently out of town, so this gives me ample Xbox 360 time, which means I need to cram for the 30k G. I'm currently using Tiz's spare Xbox, because mine and Faith's disc drive is completely shot. I'll be shipping it off within the next few days, but until then I'll still be using Tiz's 360. Thanks Tiz!

NEW GOAL: 30,000 G by New Years (Jan. 1)
NEW GOAL: 100% Luxor 2 by New Years (Jan. 1)

Late

Progress: 21,675
Percentage: 49.37%

Recently Accomplished:
100% Clive Barker's Jericho
Halo 3: ODST Campaign Completed

I'm a bit late with the updates, I've been busy these past few days.

I would like to say that I did complete my goal of 50% by the 8th. I completed Halo 3:ODST's campaign on saturday, and within the past 8 hours I've started and 100% completed Clive Barker's Jericho. I also played some Left 4 Dead, and Madagascar Karts, which is why my percentage has dropped down below 50%. Eitherway, with ODST I broke 50% and that's all that matters at the moment. I'll shoot to raise my % sometime later, as for now it's 30k GS by new years. TrueAchievements.com says it'll take 184.4 GS/day to reach that goal, so I'm going to get going!

Current Games:
Soul Calibur 4
Call of Duty 3
Madagascar Karts
Ninety-Nine Nights (Still...)

Improvement

Progress: 18,760
Percentage: 46.15%

Recently Accomplished:
100% The Orange Box

Before I started this webpage, I had completed nearly the entire Orange Box. All of Half Life 2, Episode 1, and Team Fortress 2. All I had left was the challenge achievements for Portal (Gold/Silver/Bronze), and the last two achievements in HL2:Ep2 (Neighborhood Watch & Defense of the Armament). In a rush to complete Tiz's games, so I can give them back, I went for the Portal Ach's and succeeded despite my gut feeling of sure failure. I was also disenheartend by the last two in Ep2, but alas they came easier than expected. It did take some patience, as Portal froze at every load several times, wasting a good 40 minutes. Either way, I take a huge sigh of relief as another game is added to the 100% pile.

Madness

Was going insane for the past 9ish hours, cursing where the last 3 Templars could be, if it was a glitch, if I would have to restart my game save, etc.

Alas! I finally found the last Templar, at 5:42 AM; Assassin's Creed is 100% complete. Finally!

As for the update, I didn't achieve much throughout to night/this morning...so far. I'll probably give a full blown update tomorrow sometime, since I decided to pull an all nighter.

Game List for the remainder of awakeness;

Soul Calibur 4, N3 (Ninety-Nine Nights), and maybe Viva Pinata.

Cheers!

Six Days Left

The rush is on, it's game fever time. In light of Assassin's Creed 2's release, Tiz and I have decided to clean up AC1 as soon as possible, as the release date is only two weeks away. There are also only six days left before I must be 50% completion, which is going to be a big crunch.

Tiz, who had basically no progress in AC1, began his session last night and is roughly 1/3rd the way complete, where as two days ago I tried to clean up the remainder of my Jerusalem Flags, and missing Templars. I have just three of each left, and I'll get around to searching for them later tonight (which will give me 100%, for the record).

As for the past two days, Faith and I have continued our run through Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga.

I'll probably give a progress update later tonight, as I haven't completed much today yet. Some CSI and Soul Calibur 4? Yup.
