Progress: 32,010 G
Recently Accomplished:
100% Viva Pinata
100% NBA 2K6
100% Arkadian Warriors [XBLA]
100% A Kingdom for Keflings [XBLA]
"Achievement Unlocked: 5 for 1000". It's pretty funny how easy NBA 2K6 was for me to 100%. And before anyone jumps to conclusions, I plan to earn every achievement possible. Think of it as collecting Pokemon- You gotta catch 'em all, not just the easy or the hard ones. So no I'm not playing it for "quick & easy gs whoring." I'll complete it some day, so why not get it over with?
Viva pinata was a lot of fun to play, although I did have to let the game idle for the second half of the 50 hour achievement. Arkadian warriors was a fun, diablo-esque game, but rather short. Same can be said for A Kingdom for Keflings; rather short. Nevertheless, all fun games and all added to my completion pile.
I dominated my goal for 30,000 G by New Years, exceeding it by over 2,000 points (It's only 8:23 and I'm not yet done earning ach's for tonight.) I roughly calcuated that my total obtainable Gamerscore from all of the games that I have played/currently own but haven't played just yet total at 65,000 G. I believe, and don't quote my on this, I may set a personal goal to achieve 60,000 G out of the possible 65,000 G. It will be rough, but we'll see how it goes and if that is a viable option. (Some games that are included in that 65k are Perfect Dark Zero, very tough 100%, and many games with endurance/viral ach's such as Guitar Hero 3 and Need for Speed Pro Street. Also, Devil May Cry 4, a very tough game. So it may not be a possibility for me!)
Either way, cheers and New Years!

30K
Progress: 30,000
Goal 1: 30,000 G (100%) [DONE]
Recently Accomplished:
100% Marble Blast Ultra
It looks so sexy. 3% towards my goal of 1,000,000. It's not much, but it certainly is pretty. I've spent the past few days working on a slew of new XBLA games, including Paper Boy, Marble Blast Ultra, Pac-Man, Arkadian Warriors, A Kingdom for Keflings, Sonic The Hedgehog 2 & Sonic The Hedgehog 3, Galaga, and Assault Heroes.
I've also introduced all of the games I currently own onto my gamercard, so I can start working towards 70% completion by Feb. 1st of next year. Just adding the games lowered my completion from 69% to roughly 58%, and it will possibly go lower. A more thorough update will be seen around New Years, so see you then!

Upgrade Extreme
Progress: 28,595 G
Goal 1: 30,000 G (95.31%)
Recently Accomplished:
100% Ninety-Nine Nights
YES! N3 is completely finished, at last. This brings my total retail complete to 12, and arcade to 2, topping it at 14 completed games. It was a 4-hour long struggle to finish three seperate careers at 5 A.M. on Dec. 19th, but I made it. I feel like a giant weight has been lifted!
Now, to more recent news. MONEY! I finally recieved my loan check from college for roughly $700, and boy did it go fast. I paid off my outstanding debts, roughly $140, and stopped by at BME for a good game hunt. I ended up dropping $52 for Star Ocean: The Last Hope, Rayman Raving Rabbids (3R), and Dead or Alive Xtreme 2. Feeling kind of spendy even after those two events, I wanted to stop by Wal-Mart and see if I could grab a new computer mouse/keyboard. That's when a sleek $100 15" computer monitor caught Faith's eye. I was ready to buy it, given that I am currently using an ANCIENT Sepctrum 7 Glr. If you don't know, google it. After a few seconds of hype, Faith mentioned; "Lets go look at TVs!" , because I am also using a very ancient 17" RCA CRT. Being very, very outdated, I agreed. It's been hard to read these new games so I was down for an upgrade.
Lo and behold, a shiny $298 Vizio struck us both as the right choice, and as spontaneous as it comes, we bought the damn thing. And boy, I have no regrets. I also picked up 4,000 Microsoft Points, and Faith agreed with split Dragon Age: Origins with me, which she is currently beasting on our new TV. I also got the mouse I came for, but not the keyboard :)
So I've added four new games, and the possibility for games I currently own (such as The Last Remnant) because of the more clear TV. With the MSP, I bought Crystal Defenders, Assault Heros, Galaga, updated my Avatar with some new gear, Resident Evil 5's 'Versus Mode' DLC, a new Koenisegg CCX for Need For Speed: ProStreet, and still left with about 1,600 MSP. I'll probably get a few more arcade games, or Dragon Age's DLC if it seems worthy. Cheers & New Years!
P.S.: I've cut Infinite Undiscovery from my goals, because I want to enjoy the game a bit more considering I powerhoused all three playthroughs in about a week. So I'll stretch that achievement out. Until next time!

Amazing Discount
Just a minor update, so progress will not be recorded. :O
Last night Tiz called me and asked how I wanted the $20 he owed me. I told him that we should visit a local game store (Book & Music Exchange) to check out whats avaliable.
After arriving, he began chatting up a friend of his, as I quickly darted to the 360 section with Faith. Moments later, I appeared in front of him, with no less than 7 games. 7 games, for twenty dollars! (Actually, it was about $32.) Anyway, I went discount-sale crazy, and picked up a few titles for only $3.95 EACH! They include..
Blue Dragon ($9.95)
Rockstar's Table Tennis ($3.95)
Rockstar's Table Tennis ($3.95) [Yes, I got two copies, for online ach's.]
World Championship Poker: All In ($5.95) [It was Faith's choice, not mine]
Prey ($3.95)
Prey ($3.95) [Two copies, for the online ach's. This copy Tiz bought for himself.]
NBA 2K6 ($3.95)
Somehow, the total only came to about $32. Don't ask me, I only listed the prices above from what they were advertized. Perhaps the actual cost was cheaper? Either way, I have 5 new unique games to add to my collection, and I strongly believe I will be able to conquer my goal of 30,000 G by January 1st.
Expect a full update tonight~
Cheers!

Move It! Move It! ... Never Again.
Progress: 26,500 G
Goal 1: 30,000 G (88.33%)
Goal 2: Infinite Undiscovery's 'Filthy Rich' (34%)
Recently Accomplished:
100% Madagascar Kartz
Moments ago, my gamertag was graced with the completion of Madagascar Kartz; an annoyingly sucky go-kart racing game, for kids. 505 G was where I stood this morning, and Tiz was nice enough to let me borrow it for a few days to finish it off. Well, I did. And I'll never have to hear that stupid catch-phrase ever again. Until MK 2 comes out. (God forbid.)
Yesterday was also a productive day. I completed the rest of the Mini-kit and Gold Brick collecting in Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga. Sure, I still have blue kits, and superstories left, but with only one achievement, I feel motivated to polish it off soon.
As for what's next; I'll dive BACK, ONCE AGAIN, into Ninety-Nine Nights, hopefully gaining the last achievement. I'll also try some more on IU, but it's quite boring. The start of my Luxor 2 Expert mode playthrough begins on Sunday, and I hope to knock out a few ach's here and there in X-Blades and Perfect Dark Zero. Starting new classes in college next week, so work will be easy, and gamerscore will be too!
Cheers!

Completionist
Progress: 25,040 G
Goal 1: 30,000 G (83.46%)
Goal 2: Infinite Undiscovery's 'Filthy Rich' (31%)
Goal 3: Assassin's Creed II (100%) [DONE]
Recently Accomplished:
100% Assassin's Creed II
After struggling for almost an hour trying to find the last Feather (hidden item) in ACII, I realized the map provided within the guide book was faulty and missing one single feather marker. Annoyed by this, I resorted to the internet and successfully located the feather within moments of the page loading. Topping off another game, ACII is 100% and ready for the DLC to launch.
I regret to inform, however, I do not feel I will be able to reach Goal #1 on my list. I will of course continue in my attempt, but succeeding is feeling progressively impossible. 5,000 GS in roughly 20 days is going to be a challenge with my current game selection. We'll see what happens!
Gaming list at the moment consists of cleaning up some multiplayer ach's in Perfect Dark Zero, doing as much as I can in X-Blades, completing the last few levels of Luxor 2's Easy mode, finishing the main story in Sega Superstars Tennis, and of course Infinite Undiscovery's 'Filthy Rich' achievement. A lot on my plate, I best get to it.

Glory of Osiris Achievement in Luxor 2
DNA Sequence 4 of Assassin's Creed II Completed (Woohoo?)
Just a moment ago, I achieved the Glory of Osiris in Luxor 2 by perfecting every bonus round. This was the lone achievement that has been ruining my gamerscore for a quite few days now. With an even'd out score, I can laugh in the faces of Tiz and Faith as they stare blankly at the odd-ending scores of theirs. Sadly however, I am only 110/200 for Luxor 2 and I'll have to deal with that another time.
Yesterday night I was able to sit down and grind through some Pac-Man levels and collect the remainder of it's achievements, topping it off at 200/200. Exciting. It is a fun game, and I am somewhat sad to see it beaten so easily. In an attempt to round out the rest of my XBLA disc, I'll try my hand at some more Boom Boom Rocket; but this game is tough. I'll also pickup the last few ach's in Feeding Frenzy, and start some UNO with Tiz sometime later in next week. Woohoo for no odd numbers!

Minor Update
Because I have missed so much time writting here in the last two weeks, another minor update is in order.
For my Luxor 2 goal, I am currently on Stage 10-3. (31/88 Levels Remaining), and at a score of 6,410,800. Keep in mind that there is an achievement for 280,000,000 total score. I am, however, not working towards this ach at this time. After I even out my gamerscore (by completing Easy Mode), I'll slowly contribute towards the 280M ach off and on between other games.
I believe when Faith gets off of work tonight, I will begin Assassin's Creed II. Tiz has been pressuring me into it, but because Infinite Undiscovery has drained me so much, I haven't felt up to it, until now.
Speaking of the two, their war seems to be continuing as strong as ever. Of course Tiz recieved a free two weeks to gain even more of an advantage while Faith was in Florida. He managed to gain (this is an estimation; don't yell at me over this Tiz.) roughly about 1,400 Gamerscore, putting him 12,466 G. Faith, although determined, is still below the 10K mark but she's gaining momentum as she recently 100%'d Lego Indiana Jones. She started her journey in Grand Theft Auto 4 today too. Good luck! Go Faith!
Currently standings:
Tiz: 12,466 G
Faith: 8,656 G
a deficit of nearly 4,000 G.
