Status Update for May 24, 2009

Afternoon, everyone.

This entry is primarily for my own self-indulgence. I just need to get my records in order for everything, primarily my challenge goals.

So, here we go:

Current Gamerscore: 17,875/63,910 (27.97%)
Total number of games played: 67

Games at 100%:
Dash of Destruction (200/200)

Games at 1,000+:
Fable II (1,140/1,350)
Halo 3 (1,095/1,750)

Games at 800+:
Assassin's Creed (815/1,000)
Bioshock (775/1,000)
Naruto: Broken Bonds (900/1,000)
Prince of Persia (930/1,000)
Resident Evil 5 (855/1,000)

Really, a 28% out of 67 games really isn't that good. Hmmm...one of the bigger problems is the older games I played back before I had XBox Live. I really think that multiplayer achievements need to be restricted to DLC. Then again that is just me, I guess.

Oh well, happy gaming.

Current Challenge

Over at 360voice.com, I'm currently holding the 3rd place spot. The 1st place player is nearly +3,000 point ahead of me. It may be possible to catch up since I haven't even started "Silent Home: Homecoming" or "Bourne Conspiracy", which are supposed to be a relatively easy 1000 points with 1 or 2 play throughs. Either way, I have been playing catch up on "Fable II".

The new "See into the Future" DLC came out last week, which I had to avoid for a few days since I had my glasses eaten by my dog. However, once I got them back, I was all over it. Which was sad. I hadn't read any reviews and didn't realize it was only a couple hours long. That seems....pathetic. I don't know why, but it just feels really, really cheap. Honestly, why can't more developers take a cue from Bethesda? That copy knows how to make DLC and expansions.

I guess that's all, really.

Happy Gaming!

Sometimes...

Sometimes this job has its perk. By this job, I mean working at Best Buy. By perks, I mean the few times out of the year I get to honestly enjoy my job. They gave me a copy of UFC 2009: Undisputed to "study" for a demo event on the 23rd. Not to shabby.

Also, my deepest apologies for not keeping my word and updating. I've been working 40-hour a week work weeks. Gaming has had to take a back seat to real life.

Luckily, I am back now, even have a new challenge going on over at 360voice.com!

Happy gaming.
