Shy of 100K

Ok so as I am writing this I sit at 99994 Gamerscore. No real way Im going to hit it at 100K now but still an achievement in itself to reach this point. I am very glad of this and it looks like the game that will make me pass this will be WWE Legends of Wrestlemania or Borderlands.

On other news... my computer had overheated so I was litterally without a computer for about a week. Not too much fun, but I did manage to fix it last night. For anyone who cares, my processor chip overheated due to having dust stuck under the fan. No real damanage but I am sure glad to have it back again.

Back to gaming, although I am playing WWE Legends, Brutal Legend has taken a lot of my time. It is a genuinely fun game to play, its a shame I am only missing one serpernt to get 2 of the most annoying achievements.(120 serpernts collected & 100% stats). None the less I am sure I will put it in again to find that last one... Wish me luck!!!!

Oh and I will update my list at the bottom some time tonight.

Is it too soon to call it quits?

Unfortunately, one of the main reasons I haven't kept up to date with this blog is because of other commitment I have made such as school, work, and the race in gamerscore to reach 6 digits by my birthday. It is now less than a week away and I am still 4500 points away. Dont know if I can reach that goal anymore by that time, only time will tell.

This past month I have been working on getting to my backlog... and it goes as far back as Call of Duty 2 which is still in progress. I also had to play the Sonic Ultimate Genesis Collection from scratch again since my save was previously corrupted and I now have 1000 in that game. I did get some of the Sonic arcades just to keep my mind sane, but the main game right now for me is Halo 3 ODST. Even though I hate Halo 3, I found to actually enjoy ODST enough to bother for the achievements. I might also go back to Halo to see if I can finish the mythic achievements.
I will be planning on finishing Call of Duty 2, HSM3 Dance Monopoly and Hot Wheels in the next few days... Wish me luck.

The race continues

As I posted last time, my main goal has been to reach 100,000 GS by my next birthday. Well in order for me to see where I stand I believe I should have 90,000 by the end of this month, which is very doable. Problem is, how on earth am I going to get the last 10K when I still have to go to work and school? Makes things interesting thats for sure. Aside from that, a co-worker has also wagered a pizza party for me if I reach my goal. Keeping that in mind, he isnt too hopeful that I will make it.

On another note, I have been busying myself in other things to keep my list updated but off the top of my head I have completed many games including and not limited to:

Madden NFL 10
3 on 3 NHL
Jericho
and Lego Batman

I will be updating the list soon for those who follow it as well as my own personal reasons.

I will leave you guys with that note as well as a working on list in case you want to hop in and help me out. I will be working on the following games:

Batman Arkham Asylum
Viva Pinata PC
Lego Indiana Jones
Gears of War 2
Gears of War (maybe)
and if any of my readers would like to help me get gamerscore on a game I do not have listed on here please feel free to send me a message on xbox live.

Achievement Luist Updated

So now that GSL is over for us, I have decided to commit to do a little clean up on my games list... I will be spending a good amount of time in the next couple of weeks to finish up some games weather it be boosting the online achievements in dead games or just getting that last hard to get achievement.

Games to Complete:
Ski-Doo Challenge (480/1000)
Cabela's African Safari (10/1000) I cant believe I left this one at 10
Carcassonne (175/200) just need about 3000 more tiles... shouldnt be that long
Banjo Kazooie (855/1250) I bought the DLC and I need to get those online achievements as well
Guitar Hero Aerosmith (820/1000) Anyone want to go through the setlist twice with me?
Prince Caspian (10/1000) Another game I left with only 10 points
Leisure Suit Larry (100/1000)
SoF Payback (60/1000) I need to boost these online apparently

I am sure there is many more but thats all I can find for now... I will keep it updated for all my readers.

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.
