Woes with XP and so forth

Today I am writing a special blog as I actually write this from my hardly used laptop instead of my desktop PC. Since last night I have been installing Windows XP (to dual boot with Vista x64)and in the process of formatting I ended up falling asleep. Come to find out that I wake up at 6am and it has finished formatting of course and is now asking for my serial number... get this... I lost it :-(.... I spent most of my morning today trying to find it and luckily I did find it but only after restarting my computer hoping I could still use vista... no luck whats-so-ever. No I am once again waiting for XP to install and let me use my computer.


But THATS NOT ALL. I was boosting my Left 4 Dead game over night, (You know the one where you rack up your kills with melee pressed down while a boomer vomits on you) well turns out I did not leave my character in a safe position and well through the time, well I died... no big deal right? WRONG!!!!! since it restarted the level the melee button was cancelled out and did not give activity to my controller so it resetted me to the title menu and ERASED all my kill... When I went to sleep I had already racked up 10,000 kills and now I have to regain them back.

Now on a side note, I have been reading some of the blogs I follow and have noticed some of them doing a GSL competition. I looked around to see what it was and have become very intrigued. I tried finding a team for me to join but no avail. I even tried making a team and no avail. Now I am blogging about it hoping someone will read this and point me in the right direction now. So I leave with this:

If anyone is looking for a hardcore gamerscore teammate for GSL please contact me via this blog or my email at Xylofreak@gmail.com.

Thanks for reading guys!!!!

HUGE UPDATE

Yep, this update is so huge that all the letter even need to be capitalized.

So here is some of the things I am updating you on:

First of all, I have updated my list of achievements at the bottom with the more recent scores, and before you ask, Yes, I did play My Horse and Me 2. Pretty much, I put in about 12,000 gamerscore that has been added over the past 2 weeks.

Secondly, I am please to announce the the Mega Challenge 09 is now officially over. I finished in 5th place out of 221 people. I am very proud as this was my first challenge of many that I participated in. Throughout the whole competition I manages to stay within the top 5 and even taking the #1 spot for a day or 2. I am very proud of the progress I made, especially with a 12,000 GS gain in just 2 weeks. This competition has also made me play some games that I would never have played and found enjoyable including CSI Hard Evidence and MLB series.

Right now my current projects will be to finish 100% all the game I missed one or 2 achievements in, and also finishing Left 4 Dead and FEAR 2 which I just got along with Street Fighter IV.

In reference to the challenge, I would like to thank the amazing support and help from a couple of friends that believed I could do this and kept me going strong through the whole competition.
A VERY BIG THANKS TO:

Busy!!!! Work, Challenge and Achievements

So there has been a very good reason as to why I have not updated this blog in a while, most of you already know why. For those who don't, Mega Challenge 09. I have taken part in this challenge which has taken up most of my time along with work and school. As you can see I have been very busy. I have not updated the scores of achievements at the bottom but will as soon as this challenge is over.

Heres a quick run down on the games I have played:
NBA 2k6
MLB2k6
Smackdown vs RAW 2007
Smackdown vs RAW 2008
Prince of Persia
SEGA Superstar Tennis
My Horse and Me 2
Sonics Ultimate Genesis Collection
Jumper
Left 4 Dead
Lost via Domus
Bolt
CSI Hard Evidence
Avatar

Yeah it is a long list of games I have played with close to 10,000 gamerscore built off from it. I now hold 4th place in that challenge competition after I could not get on one of those days and fell behind. All in all, I am pleased with the way my standing came out in the competition as I have stayed within the top 5 for most of the way including being in the #1 spot for a day... This is the start of a new chapter for me.

Just to reveal a little tip to all who reads, I am very anxious to get together with a website I hold near and dear, LaGtv Networds, to turn this blog into a weekly show hosted by yours truly. I am still awaiting a descision from the network and hope I will be given the opportunity. Tune in and stay with me while I give out updates.

I need a comment... please comment!!!!

2 for 1

Ok so yeah cheap but for sake and purpose of the challenge @ 360voice.com, I have finished the dreadful Avatar 1000/1000 and My Horse and Me 2 1000/1000.

After 1 day in the challenge I end up with rank 6 out of 220... we shall see where I end up tomorrow and at the end of the challenge.

Castle Crashers

Yep, like I said, I finished Castle Crashers with the Arena Achivement to be the last one... YAY!!!!!!!!!!! 200/200!!!!!!!!!!

The Challenge Begins

Ok, I have started to take on this challenge at 360voice.com. Really interesting really considering some of the big names in gamerscore are there. If you want to track my progress here is the link.

Mega Challenge 09

On other news, I have completed Scene It: BOS 1000/1000. Fun game to play as a group but some of those sets are really tedious. None the less it is done, I just have to wait for the expansion pack for it now.

Other than that, I have been working on Left 4 Dead, Castle Crashers, and regretfully My Horse and Me 2. Yes I am playing this crummy game for the challenge on 360voice that I posted above. I will be playing a lot of games I dont want to play, but it will improve my gamerscore, not my dignity of course. I am playing Castle Crashers for my last achievement as I type this and will hopefully be done with very soon.

Wish me luck!!!

I am still here.... i think

So, I apologize for not being around much but rest assured I am still not dead.
I have currently been working on some achievements in:
Left 4 Dead
Scene It: BOS!
You're in the Movies
Carcassonne
LotR: Conquest

Nothing completed yet but as you know I will be posting it as soon as I do.
Dont forget to follow me on the blog and on tweeter, and heres a couple more things that you can track me on.
