Congrats DMD on 1st and kaens on your 12th place vicory :P
sorry I'm late on this, I slept most of the day.
Very cool! Congrats DMD!
While I was busy patting myself on the back I forgot to congratulate DMD. Grats man!
Congrats DMD
I got 10th. 10 points away from 9th.Im pretty chuffed with that as i didnt rent any games for the challenge just completed old ones
Ahh, another 12th place.
wowzers 3rd place was an 18 point winner!
congrats kaens for 12th place!
can you leave a challenge early; before it ends? How?
You better watch me Kaens, I might drop 150 points tonight and snipe that 12th position from you! Fortunately for you I'm 1200 miles from my xbox...
Lol good movie!
I wish I could relate.
Employed? Is this a..?
What day is this?
(say it like The Dude)
aye is it time to go home from work yet?!
Put up more then Kaens. :P
*shivers*
Oh yeah.. that might be a problem... I just put up 10 points...How's that?
I'm not really sure what you are hoping for Fsh, but 12th is mine!
Put up more points fsh. :p
Grats Bucky... I'll be following you in the next month or so...
Still looking at #12... Just need some help from below....;)
Thank you very much, everyone. 'Twas a long time coming. The barrier breaker was the tough as nails "Socialite" Acheevy in Buku Sudoku.. lol.
Special thanks to Fsh for getting me motivated again, my score had been stagnating far too long.
i think it was just my work computer. it's updating now at home.
It's updating fine for me...
Yea I don't think this page has updated today b/c Misha has more points but it says 0 on here.
Congrats Buck
@ DMD - Current score is 100,012. Look at his Xbox Live profile if the LiveScore isn't displaying it for you.
By the way, congrats! :)
@ Bucky - is it me or are there some premature e... i mean congrats going on here? Don't you still need 93 pts?
Grats on 100k Bucky. :)
I might make a run for the next one. :/
who knows.
He hasn't got the 100K yet right?
@ Misha - 25 isn't so bad. Just don't have the stamina of the young whipper snappers anymore :P
@Fsh - Kaens does hold 12th pretty solid!
CONGRATS Bucky on the 100K!!!
@ DMD ~ Hey, it's not MY fault U think U need sleep at 25 ! :P
@Fsh - keep thinking that, I'm currently in 12th ;)
Hopefully get new games from gamefly today along with the games i traded for yesterday (i actually made money on trades)
I want to clear 100k today. Seeing as I'm pretty sure I hit the 60, 70 and 80k marks in challenge(s) led by the eyeless fish, it only seems fitting. Kung Fu Panda will be the game, most likely.
I'm in perfect position for 12th!!!
misha you're killing me softly! it's my birthday weekend and i've only slept 2 hours but feel like i have to game otherwise you're going to catch me! :P
It isn't that bad, boats are slow as hell though.
I wish Sea Safari had the depth of Pokemon Snap, that was a fantastic game. I grabbed it again for the Wii VC not that long ago, and it still holds up surprisingly well.
I like E4 except I think I could play it forever. I mean, it's like the never-ending game. I usually just play until I get bored and then quit. It was better as a portable game, IMO.
Deadliest Catch is terrible, btw. I'm not going to play it any more, GS be damned.
Kaens you like E4 SWEET! i thought i was the only person on XBL who liked it. I started playing blacksite area 51...Its actually not that bad.
Well I never played Pokemon Snap, but I did enjoy my most recent arcade completion; Sea Life Safari. Next to Buku Sudoku, Sea Life Safari is the easiest arcade 200 out there.
@Kaens Don't worry about being challened Sea Life is alot easier than E4 and Rez......But no were near as fun. Also you forgot Lumines Live, my favorite easy game.
I actually enjoyed Pokemon Snap back in the day. Now I haven't played Sealife yet but I don't want to be challenged every night I'm playing games, lots of times I just want to kick back and relax. That's why I like Feeding Frenzy and why I love both E4 & Rez.
I have to say that I can't understand why people enjoy games like Pokemon Snap and Sea Life Safari. That was one of the most boring 200 points I have gotten. Now Elements Of Destruction was both challenging and.... different.
Yeah, I think I will see 100k soon. I just 1k'd Bourne over the last two days, that felt pretty good. I may look into Kung Fu Panda or Deadliest Catch.. need to finish up Lego Indy, GRID.. Wall-E coming next week.. points are there, I just have to get motivated.
me thinks you might be on to something =)
i dunno though i have a feeling misha is going to make a comeback.
Me thinks somebody is serious about winning this one!
@Bucky... you going to hit 100k this(next) week?
I do em for the hell of doing em, never expecting to win -especially with what i put up last week : amazing for me but in that challenge meant nothing -_-;
No scores so far. :O
I do these challenges to keep the badge and there are plenty of cool cats!
@HorrorPastry - there's always room for people to join in, even if they're not playing to win... A few people do it to maintain their challenge badge...
I'm in the 12th spot!!!!! It's all mine!!!!!
No scoring yet today?
WAAAHHHH!!!! I want back in damnit!!! I want to be able to knock DMD of the top spot!
I wouldn't say scared off from the last challenge.... more like needing a rest from the madness that ensued last week!
@fsh ... hmmmm. interesting indeed... =)
@dmd I think they scared off a few people. A lot were the auto-challenge people that can't figure how to turn it off now. And I held the challenge open for two days is my guess....
Some interesting moves today... hmmm..
Fish
Good luck everyone.. Don't forget to add me to your watch list.
Deadliest Catch is an awesome game. :)
yea notice how they put up stupid points and scarred off all the new people :/
You mean it's quiet without him ;) He's playing EQ again so he'll probably be gone for months.
Last week's challenge was just stupid points, I had to put up 3630 just to squeak out a 3rd place finish.
man jcnet...vanished...challenge feels weird without him in it lol
Yep this is my first challenge. I know im not going to win so i just want to get a feel of what its like doing challenges.
Good luck all : ]
good luck everyone.
anyone planning a 12K outburst again?
This is a pretty decent sized challenge. At least it's not HeNaniGanz' huge challenge: 30 days and 281 people participating.
Damn, missed it. That what you get with the European Championships (and a very well playing Dutch team) going on.
Nice! This is a nice size! Good Luck everybody!
Looks back to a normal size... good luck all...
