Progress: 56,800 G
Resolution: 46%
Recently Accomplished:
100% CSI: Deadly Intent
100% Viva Pinata: Party Animals
Two fun games added to the complete pile. Also take note that there are now 50 games (retail + arcade) completed! This is small milestone towards a larger, more desirable 100 retail completed, and 100 arcade completed. A long road...
Nothing new on the Resolution list. I've been working on it, I promise! Some Guitar Hero 2, a little Resident Evil 5, and now the past few days I've been focusing on Blue Dragon. All of this to aim for a satisfying 82%+ completion. 82%, because I would like to play new games and maintain at least 80%. Currently at 79.36%. It's starting to feel impossible! In time, however. Over the next week, I hope to 1000 Blue Dragon (finally). Oh, and I've also played a lot of Devil May Cry 4. Beat Devil Hunter (Normal) and most of Human (Easy) modes. A long haul on that game, I'll surely be playing it for months to come.
9 more resolution ach's to reach my intermediate goal by August. Just about 30 days left, and a lot of the ach's left are either time consuming, or I just plain don't want to sit down and try. I will meet this goal, along with the 60,000 G and 80%+ completion. Until next time.

History - May Madness Closure
Progress: 54,780
Resolution: 46%
Recently Accomplished: (No specific order)
100% CSI: Hard Evidence
100% Saw
100% Family Game Night
100% Age of Booty [XBLA]
50,000 G
80,000 T
Wow, over half a month late for my update. I lost track of time, and got distracted. I'll start off with the bad news (for me at least), that I only met half of my May resolution achievements. Tear. Oh well, I'm still gunning hard for the overall resolution of the 100 list by December!
To begin, I've acquired a few new games. Lost Planet (YAY!), Gears of War, Call of Duty: World At War, Magic The Gathering, Shadow Complex, Vandal Hearts: Flames of Judgement, Age of Booty, and probably even more.
Also note that Faith gave in and we now have a GameFly account (2 games out at once), which is where the CSI, Family Game Night and Saw came from. I also have been borrowing arcade games from my friends (such as N+, Toy Soldiers, and more) to get some variety in my play. The Resolution hasn't really gained much since the end of May, however since my last post there has been significant progress;
-Fast Win from Sonic The Hedgehog [XBLA]
-Sore Thumb Award from Boom Boom Rocket [XBLA]
-Producer from Scene It? Box Office Smash!
-Video Store Clerk from Scene It? Box Office Smash!
-Viewfinder Master from Scene It? Box Office Smash!
-Big in Chicago from Rock Band
-Lord of the Strings from Rock Band
-Ball Buddies from Sega Superstars Tennis
Hopefully I will not take so long to update again. I'm currently aiming for (and we both know I probably need to lower my sights) roughly 80%+ completion, 60,000 G, and 55%+ Resolution by the beginning of August. All very doable however I might manage to mess something up. Incase I go back into my gaming cave for too long, Happy Independance Day! (joke).

Mile High Club
Progress: 46,190 G
Resolution: 38%
May Madness: 9/25
Recently Accomplished:
100% Feeding Frenzy [XBLA]
100% Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
xgamehero won the Mile High Club achievement in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare for 38 points.
That's all that needs to be said. I finally earned it, after finishing every other achievement in this game over 7 months ago. Every few months I would borrow the game from Curtis, attempt the mission for 4-5 hours straight, and ultimately give up. Today, I borrowed it again and within the first 15 minutes (my 5th try) I shot the infamous terrorist at the end, and sky dived to safety. This is such a big accomplishment for me, that I felt a whole post should be created and dedicated to it, and so here it is.
By the way, Feeding Frenzy was fun as well. I'm sad to see it go, but I'm all geeked out about getting Feeding Frenzy 2 now!
For the list:
-Food Bank from Feeding Frenzy
-Mile High Club from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
By the way, CoD4 marks 41 completed games! Woohoo!

May Madness - Part 2
Progress: 46,140 G
Resolution: 36%
May Madness: 7/25
Recently Accomplished:
100% Mass Effect
100% Sonic The Hedgehog 3 [XBLA]
100% Pure
Ah! Another amazing console RPG put away maxed. Mass Effect was very fun, even on my 5th playthrough. A bit daunting at times, worrying if I was going to get the Ally achievements or miss them, but fun nonetheless. Pure was an exciting racing game, and quite tough considering it's targeted age range (presumably 10+ or something). Sonic 3 was great as well, I just can't wait to finish Sonic 1, and start on Sonic 2!
Quite a few ach's to mark off of the list:
-Quarian Ally from Mass Effect
-Extreme Power Gamer from Mass Effect
-Medal of Valor from Mass Effect
-Dwarf Player from Shadowrun
-Special delivery from Shadowrun
-Trollhammer from Shadowrun
-Well-Traveled from Shadowrun
-Summoner from Shadowrun
-Wet Feet from Sonic The Hedgehog 3
-Career Domination from Need For Speed: ProStreet
-Guardin' Gnome from Left 4 Dead 2
More to come, there's still plenty of days left in May!

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!
