May Madness - Intro

Progress: 41,985 G
Resolution: 18%
May Madness: 3/25

Recently Accomplished:
100% Uno [XBLA]
100% Gauntlet [XBLA]

A pre-note: Two fun games from Live Arcade. Gauntlet was nostalgic, and Uno was a nice time waster, and wasn't too bad. Certainly only fun if you're playing with other people, though. Otherwise it's a bore :(.

May Madness is about to begin (today being the 30th of April), and that means it's time for me to crunch some ach's. I plan on knocking through 25 on the resolution list; Most of them are rather simple, though.

I got a nice head-start on the list by earning the following:

-Game Master from Gauntlet
-Devotee from Uno
-Who Needs The Power from Guitar Hero 3.

I honestly didn't think I would be able to earn 200k on Cult of Personality so easily. The relative ease has inspired me to add some more of the music game ach's from the resolution list into my May Madness plan.

Current:
Faith and I have been working on The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon, trying to knock out the co-op achievement for myself, and then we plan on running through it again so she can get the ach. Curtis claims he'll be loading up his Xbox again soon, as he's sitting on a 46-day "Last Seen Online" hiatus. Eitherway, it's most Shadowrun and Luxor 2 for me! (Oh, and Spyro. :P)

The Story Dies

Progress: 41,525 G
Resolution: 15%

Recently Accomplished:
100% Zombie Apocalypse [XBLA]
100% Final Fantasy 13
100% Oblivion

FFXIII was the biggest let down of all time. I would rant about it, but there is no point, search the internet and you're bound to find the hate. Roughly 92 hours to complete it, without a strategy guide or walkthrough. (I did use a checklist for items for the Treasure Hunter achievement, though. Shame on me? Not.) I'm glad it's done, and I pray there will be no DLC. Mainly because I sold a lot of my equipment to earn Treasure Hunter xD.

Zombie Apocalypse was a very fun XBLA game, giving Faith and I plenty of hours of zombie killing. Two thumbs ups. Oblivion was maxed out shortly after FFXIII, and it too was a great game. Note that this was the first and so far only game that Faith had 100% that I hadn't yet. Well, not anymore! :)

As for the resolution, check off these two:

-Anniversary of the Dead from Zombie Apocalypse
-Duke Mania from Oblivion

On a last note, Faith has started Fable 2. Curtis is still doing homework and cannot finish FFXIII for PS3. Goodluck both of you!
