Goal 1 Completed and New Goal Pending

At some point between this post and my last post, I put up a goal on trueachievements.com to reach a six digit gamerscore by my next birthday which will be on October 3rd. My current gamerscore is set to 80,094 which yes... my first goal is completed which was to pass the 80,000 mark. I am very excited to set myself up for this challenge as I know I will fullfill it with little hardship. GSL @ Console Heroes has really helped me gain gamerscore very much and will leave a lot of games that are going to need to be completed.

Speaking of GSL, I am proud to announce that our team is within playoff range and will hopefully go against some of the fiercest teams I have ever seen. Still, I know that everyone in the team is going to give it their best shot to make it to the playoffs, if not then it will be a shame but still an honor to play with these people. Next post will probably be at the end of GSL along with future planning in gaming.

oh and achievement list updated.

GSL Update

Ok so I have been busy with GSL and work all at the same time. I am happy to announce that on the first week while I was out our team outscored Stallion83's team by about 200 points giving us a double win for the week. Also, that put us in first place after one week. Unfortunately, I did not play that week due to not having internet for half the weekend.

Second week of GSL, I did paticipate. We competed against the Lolers (Apple x360a's Team) and The Achievement Zombies. Hate to say it but they were both in last place after week 1 and weren't much competition at all. We scored a little over 4k but we ended up with a 2K lead. Unfortunately, the scoring also means we are now in 2nd place since our other opponents will be beating us with points.

Thats it for the update, I will have more as the competition continues and you can always contact me on this blog, Xbox Live, or on Skype if you want to chat up with me or play some games.

BACK!!!!

So after long and overdue absence, I have finally come back. Where was I? Well, I went without internet for a couple of weeks. No connection to the online world and worst of all no connection to Xbox Live. I have been tortured before but this was truly grueling for more than just a couple of reasons.

As you all know I had mentioned I would be participating in a GSL at ConsoleHeroes.com and had a team to compete with. Well, the competition has begun, and due to my absence, I had to sit out the first weekend. Although that was the case, I am pleased to announce that the other team members are doing a marvelous job staying in the lead in the first round for now. I have been preparing for this event for a while and know that we do stand a chance together. The new World order is here.
I will be keeping this blog updated on the GSL events and will be posting all the games I play so visit back often.

For now that is all since I have to take care of some other things online, but fear not I will be on soon enough.

Starting to get ready

These past few days have been dreary, not only was I attending my uncles funeral (may he rest in peace) I was stuck in Mexico with no cell phone or Internet. I was unable to stay current with most things and missed the first day of E3 completely. I am now back and on to preparing for GSL #5 at ConsoleHeroes.com.

The preparations by me are underway and my teammates already and I have a slew of games ready since I have only gained 500 points in the last month or so. The team is as follows:

new World order
I worry about this coming GSL only because the person in charge of running everything isn't really there as much as he should. I mean sign ups are now closed, but the final rosters have not been updated. I am curious as to how this will work.

Would you have any suggestions on how to strategize this GSL? any games that you would recommend to me? Let me know!!!!

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!!!!
