Which titles are people going to use first? The hard ones with big points? The easy ones with small points? Check back tomorrow to find out who the first leader will be...
congrats Sparky!
Congrats SparkyMP! You definitely earned the victory with all those points you put up! Thanks to everyone for making this such an awesome challenge, it couldn't have happened without you. I hope to see everyone of you in the next one!
See, i lost but not dead last like i am usually congrats sparky:)
Thank you. Sorry to take the win from you bomber. You really do deserve to win. Hopefully next time you will pull it off. Thank you nailson, another good challenge is over and done with. I will be anxiously awaiting the link for the new one.
Congratulations on the victory, Sparky. That's a very impressive Point gain.
Nailsons can I have the 30 day trial code please. Thank you.
I ordered a game from Gamefly and it had a card with a code for a free trial in it. I don't know how long the trial is, but I would assume 30 days. If anyone wants it, just let me know. Also, if anyone is not familiar with Gamefly, you do still have to have a credit card to get the trial. I didn't want anyone getting any surprises when they signed up. If more than one person asks for the code, I'll draw numbers tomorrow evening and give it to whom ever gets lucky.
@ Sparky: Don't sweat the MLB 2K6 points. I know you wouldn't intentionally cheat, it's just not your style. Congrats on the victory!
Nice job Sparky!
Sounds good. I will be around most of the evening and I can even give you some help in Undertow if you need it.
Thank you everyone. I'm a little mad that my blog didnt count MLB 2K6 for yesterday. The last achievement popped at about 11:59pm. I didnt finish the game but I did get 850 in the last 45 minutes of the day. I know the rules and it doesn't help me prove that I followed them when it doesn't show up in the blog.
@edible. Sure thing. Lady Death and I did that one on friday. I actually got the perfect achievement with 2 lives to spare. Should be pretty easy.
I'm a little bit farther away from the 2*. I'm only at 454 but this should give me a huge boost. I am extremely close to several badges after this challenge. Thank you nailsons for putting on a great challenge.
This sucks i keep loosing :(
It's the last day everyone! Without any surprises, it looks as if Sparky will be the new champ! Your reign of terror is over EdibleChunk, lol! Don't forget to watch for the info about the next challenge in a mass message or in my blog comments tomorrow. Hopefully we'll have a great turnout next week too!
There's no way I'd be able to pull off 1000 points today. Nice win Sparky.
I think I'm getting kind of close to the 2 star HTTK challenge badge. I'm at about 800 points right now. Finishing 2nd will get me pretty close to the 1000 needed for the badge upgrade.
Very nice point production yesterday Sparky. I would say nice win, but I will not count out Bomber just yet.
@Sparky: Can you help me with the online achievements for Golden Axe? As well as the perfect win.
Too bad I don;t have any more "Easy" games to play. No way can catch up to you Sparky. Good luck though. I might try some, but 3000 is too much for one day for me.
Well I really hope all of my points for my 2k6 game count for today. I know the rules so I dont want to play it tomorrow, so I thought I might try and squeeze it in today. Well I hope bomber can pull something off. I still have a couple hundred more points to get tonight. Then back to work tomorrow. Sad day lol.
Jeez Sparky, that's a lot of points! I'm going to have to disqualify you for scoring too much, lol. Seriously though, It's good to see you competing again. Congrats on passing 30K to you and Edible, and a big congrats to Bomber for passing 70K while in this challenge. Keep up the good work guys!
Thank you. I was happy with that milestone. Congrats on reaching 70K today. That is a great achievement, and it even has a great sound huh lol. Wouldn't that be nice, a 70,000 point achievement. We would all be rich in GS then.
I forgot to mention earlier, but I passed 70k today! That's pretty exciting. Only 30,000 more to 100,000! That's going to take a while to reach, but it will probably come sooner than I imagine.
Also in this challenge, I noticed that both Sparky and Edible have passed the 30,000 milestone. Congratulations friends!
Actually, there's not really any quick or easy 1000gs games I have left to play. It looks like I'm going to have to turn to ebay to replenish my stash. I already have 1 game on the way, and I have a few more games in mind that I'll look for a good deal on.
The good thing I got out of this challenge is 2 more completed retail titles. It might be a week or two though before I can compete in a challenge with a chance of winning. Unless anyone else has some amazing points to score, it looks like Sparky is going to take home one of NaiLSONS games.
Thank you bomber. I'm sorry but I have also changed my mind. I will be playing my 2k6 game here in a minute. Today is the last day I can play it and I dont want to play the other game I have. Stupid racing games. I hate racing games. I hope you do find another game. Hopefully something fast and easy.
Holy cow! SparkyMP is putting up a lot of points! I don't know if I'll be able to compete. It looks like he is going to be the leader for tommorow. Hopefully I can find some more gamerscore somewhere. It's good to see Sparky finally scoring some major points. Way to go Sparky!
Maybe. I'm working on doing that myself lol. I ended up with a few extra hours of free time today so that means more time to play. Yay!! lol. So I might throw in one of the new games I have. I have a 2k6 game but I think I will save it. I dont want to gain that many points. Atleast not right now. Go Bomber!! I hope you can keep going. You are doing a great job so far. Sorry to make you work for it. But I'm not exactly going to waste my weekend. Good luck everyone.
Good work on putting up so many points everyone! With the way things are going, we may see 10K scored by the top 3!
gO bomber go!
now i only need 2,170 gamerscore to win:)
Whoohoo. It is nice to have a day off. Now I actually have time to play all the games I have been meaning to get to. Way to go Bomber!!! I dont want to win so I hope you stay ahead of me. I dont have that much more GS to gain. Maybe another 1000. Maybe. If I feel like playing those games.
Thanks lol:)
Go FragmasterWolf!
I would but Bomber is on my list of friends. I may open up a game on Sunday but other than that my weekend is full.
Anyone want to support me lol but yea hope bomber wins:)
Thanks for the support! I hope I can end up winning at least one of NaiLSONS' challenges. I've been close before and I think this is going to be another close one.
Go Bomber!
I will start playing CARS tonight and I hope I can finish the 1000 points by tomorrow noon. I hope it really is a bit fun, my first impression of it wasn't that good when I fired it up some days ago.
I enjoyed kinda Cars too. But I havent played mater-national though.
I have to agree. I enjoyed both of them as well. Some of the challenges and achievement quests were not fun but I did enjoy the games. They are probably some of the best "easy" games I have played.
For some reason (and i know this may sound nerdy or cheesy) I really enjoyed playing both cars and mater-national. Seriously, they were both fun and entertaining to me. And I was wondering if anyone (that is willing to admit that is lol) experienced the same feelings toward the game? =)
Go Sparky!!! I have maybe 300 points left in a few games so if you score over 2000 then you should beat me.
Alright, i just got off work. I have the next two days off, which marks my first day off in the past three weeks, so here comes the games. I have about 3000 points of easy games sitting here so lets just see if I can get through them all. I have no intentions on winning, just getting second or third. All I want is the challenge score.
I'm behind 1,475 points from Edible Chunk though i still think i won't win this round still but i am about to hop on gears of war windows. My brother right now is playing Rock Band on his account. :(
You sure do make it hard to win with 190 points. I guess I might need to actually play my games now.
Just setting the bar for someone plus I had the day off today.
Wow edible, way to psyche us all out - over 1500 points already? Smoking the competition again huh.
If you are curious about this stuff, like I am, you can check out the challenge scout results for this challenge by following this link, http://www.squidpunch.com/challengescout/scoutreport.php?sid=5102
If you aren't that interested, I'll list the top five for you here.
1- EdibleChunk
2- A 360 Friend
3- tiagox
4- SparkyMP
5- maskedburito
Wow, Edible is starting off fast! Good strategy getting the 2K6 game out of the way the first day so you have a strong lead.
I noticed that you had scored a ton of points in almost every challenge you've been in, so I decided to figure up exactly how much. (not including this one). In five challenges you've earned a total of 8,365 points, that's an average of 1,673 points per contest! I'm not sure, but I bet you have the highest combined point total of any a gamer in these challenges. Keep up the good work!
I only have about another 1200 points in me for this challenge. I'm working on the sports badge right now if some of you didn't notice from last challenge. But who knows I may get another game by the weekend.
Yeah, I played a bit before the challenge started, so those 225 points won't count. :-)
This one will be more of a laid back challenge on my part, so I'm not gonna attempt to beat Edible this time.
225 by Mange already!
And we're off. Good luck everyone. Thanks a lot for hosting these challenges NailSONS, and a big thanks to Edible for the chance to win UNO.
WOW!!! This is huge. By far the biggest challenge yet. I might try and win just to get the challenge score lol. Good luck everyone. I hope everyone has fun. Thank you Nailsons for hosting another great challenge. And thank you Nailsons and edible for offering prizes. I think we can safely assume that this will be the highest scoring challenge yet.
Thanks for joining this week's challenge everyone! It's good to see all the regulars here again. I also realize there's a few new folks in the group, so be sure to check out the rules so there's not any confusion (yesterday's blog comment section).
One thing to watch for in this week's competition is the battle between EdibleChunk and A 360 Friend. They've been responsible for winning the last four contests with 2 victories each, and I'm curious to see if one of them can pull of number 3 (no pressure guys, lol), or if we will have a completely new face in the winner's circle. I guess we'll find out soon enough.
Since this is now the largest challenge we've had, I'm guessing we'll also have a new scoring record when this is all said and done this week. Bigger and better is always cool with me!
I hope everyone has fun, and thanks again for supporting my challenges. Good Luck!
