So, I've recently taken another week (or so, its not over!) long break from Xbox and decided to load up some 'badges' *cough* Achievements *cough*, on my favorite website Kongregate. (Can be visited via the following link: www.kongregate.com)

It's similar to any other flash game compendium website you may have visited; except a majority of the flash games have achievements! Though, the website commonly refers to them as badges, it's all the same. It's a nice break from holding a controller, and gives me a reason to use my computer! (Other than guides and walkthroughs for Xbox 360 games!)

There are a few noticable differences when comparing gamerscore on Xbox to 'gamerscore' (or just 'score') on Kongregate. Your score can be raised by earning badges (duh), which give points based on difficulty (ranging from Easy - 5 Points, to Impossible - 60 Points), OR by rating a game, piece of artwork, midi file, referring a friend, or several other unorthodox methods. All in all, I don't care much about my score when comparing to others, simply because a lot of people have earned thousands and hundreds of thousands of points (or GS) by referring friends - thus, no reflection of their gaming skills and dedication. However, I do not refer friends for points. I will rate artwork and the occasional sound file if I'm in the mood, but my main addiction is collecting all of the badges, not trying to earn a specific score (1 million anyone?).

Be that as it may, since my last session of gaming on it, (there are no grand totals to view, unless you count them all yourself) I had earned more than 60% of all badges on the website. Since new badges are added practically every other day, and since it's been ages since I've played, I probably only own about 35-40%. Either way, I'll keep playing 'til they're all mine!

Yes, the measly 7,900 score seems so low when you put it into Gamerscore perspective, however, I dare you to sign-up on Kongregate and earn 8,000! Its not hard, it will just take some good effort! Either way, my user name on Kong is the same as my XBL GT- xgamehero. Shoot me a message, or join me in chat!

'Til next time!

Edit: I own 437 Badges, and there are 543 that I do NOT own.
980 Total badges. That's 44.5% completion! Haha..
