Challenge update - 7/29/2008
And they are off! Place your bets! Fshguy has thrown down the gauntlet with a Gamerscore Challenge titled 'Fshguy's Why So Serious???'... and 33 have answered the challenge. Sure, they all have some wacky gamer pics, but this competition is serious with a capital 'S'... which stands for snacks. Experience is going to pay off for someone in the end. We'll follow this challenge closely.
Thanks guys :)
See you guys in the next challenge.
Congrats apple, I HOPE you and the rest of the Young Guns WIN the GSL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats Apple!
congrats Appie. you nub.
Congrats Apple!
i still don't think it's that much. one of the first summer weeks two people both put up something ridiculous in a week like 15K.
holy crap apple.....
Ya this is the last week. :)
Ya this is the last week. :)
@apple... so is this the championship??? are there more weeks? I think you discouraged anybody from really trying for top 3..That's a heck a lot of points... Even if things don't go exactly as planned...
GTA IV is kicking my ass... I cannot beat the last mission for some reason. :(
dmd, haha I couldn't put up 6k in one day if I played all day. 12k total for the league, it started last sunday and ends this sunday, I think I put up 2k before this challenge started. I wasn't trying to show up anyone by saying I was getting 12k, It was just a goal I had for the league. :)
kaens, *things aren't* exactly going as planned,* typo.. :)
@apple - ah gotcha. so we'll see like 6K in one day?
@vengeance - date went very very well... 6 hole in ones in glow in the dark mini golf and i rigged the score so that it ended in a tie!
@kaens - dude it won't be the same without a few comments now and then!
dmd, the league stops sunday, not tomorrow...
kaens, yeah I figured that out last night, then MM/08 was unplayable... things are exactly going as planned, but I am trying my best
@apple - those game are certainly easy, but not that easy that you are going to do all those in one night.
@will - grats!
I think I might be seriously done for the rest of summer at least now. I just lost my streak today when I was online last night, this site showed me as online in th presence area, but yet xbox.com says I haven't played the game since 7/27. (Yet somehow it's my my recent played game and the two games before it were 7/30).
Seriously, enough is enough. I lost my 181 days streak to some bs too and it takes months and months to get this crap back. It's not even funny.
you know for this whole 12K thing i don't see it happening?
i'm starting to think it was just BIG talk.
Off topic...In ninja Gaiden 2....I got an achievement for performing over 1000 obliteration moves. That was cool
Looks like tonight is going to be an easy night, NCAA MM 07/08, NBA Live 08, and NCAA Football 08, then maybe a litte Party Animals, for kicks.
Last night was rough with CSI...
Dang, wish I was playing this week, 2nd and 3rd might go to guys just doing their normal thing... If Kaens or myself was playing, I'm sure it'd be different or everybody is waiting for Apple to implode after playing soo many games?!
dude... tomorrow will be my SECOND date! maybe we'll get married and have little babies too =P
LMAO about the truly shine! People around my cubicle are looking at me like I'm crazy due to the heavy laughing.
Hey ... whaddya talking about? i'm EXTREMELY ... oh kay yeah I've got my thumb up my bum ...
Glow in the Dark golf is cool ... I took the wife out a place like that for our ... SECOND date I believe ... this is also why I enjoy the wife not reading these ... because if I get such a historic landmark in our relationship wrong ... eeep ...
Do it ... DO IT ... (and I'm gonna get crude here folks) ... show her that your balls can truly shine! in the dark ...
lol wasn't wonder. i think my ex g/f used to read these posts! she got very jealous one day when i was home from work gaming with misha. dumb.
doubt the tv would survive being shipped anywhere. it barely survived the trip from the upstairs to the basement.
wife huh? no thanks.
has anyone ever been glow in the dark mini-golfing? any fun? i guess there is a new place here i'm thinking of taking tomorrow's date.
o and as you see looks like most of us are VERY busy at work! =)
Hey ... I said my comments were going to be RANDOM ... not ACCURATE ... I have no idea whether or not Fsh is a pretty man or not ...
uhhhh ... tell you what ... I'll pay for the S&H ... and if you ship that TV up here to the frozen north I'll keep your streak alive ... yeah ... that's the ticket? What's that? You want something in return? Howabout a newborn? Brand new, still has the new car smell to her ... I could throw in a used wife too!
And in case you were wondering ... no the wife doesn't read these posts ... and no, you may NOT have her e-mail address ...
.. reach into pocket and goof off. Heheh.
Work has been kicking my rear, and I can barely stay awake when I get home. I fire up my 360 just to keep my streak going. Plus now my son has football practice several nights a week.
I haven't played EQ since 360 launched, but I do love that game. Right now I'm a little addicted playing with apps on my iPhone. Aurora Feint is cool, very much like Puzzle Quest. These are convenient bc when I'm laying in bed finally after a long day I can just reach into my pocket and goof off.
I did say I was going to be out most of the summer ;)
@ vengeance - wow it let you post Hell!! but it won't let you post sl*t, wh*re and such.
isn't kaens busy with work or something? or was ir really evercrack? i thought that was JC.
anyone want to come for two days to Iowa and keep my streak alive? I figure I can game before the plane leaves for vegas on thursday and play when i get back on sunday which leaves friday and saturday september 12th and 13th. i have a decent setup - 56' LCD in basically a movie room basement. any takers?
Sorry ... I've been kinda busy ... so let's inject some random comments here ...
DMD ... you gotta play a game to keep the streak dude ... sorry bout that
Fsh ... uhhhh, nothing ... sorry, I really got nothing for you ... you're a very pretty man? How's that?
Kaens ... there ARE people who can help with addiction man ... lay off the Evercrack ... and come back to the warm folds of Live ...
The rest of you? No Vengeance love for you ... especially YOU johndg ... sitting there in 12th place looking all smug ... damn youze!!! DAMN YOUZE TO HELL!!!
@dmd i think you have to finish playing a game each day to keep your streak, something to do with 360v recording your last played game and it's date.
@dmd I don't think leaving it on will work, maybe for one day. Could be wrong though...
@Apple - 12k??? You taking a couple days off?!
@Fsh, league ends sunday night. haha, I still have a good 12k to put up this week.
lol i'm considering leaving my xbox on when i go to vegas in september that way i won't have to rely on anyone else!
@Apple, when are you going to be done with your league?!?? Aren't you out of points yet? Looks like a lot of options available for 2 and 3rd.. I'm on the board at least, have VP on PC running for my streak saver!
Fish
Yeah, Congrats MajinFro.
Good job Fro!
thanks for the grats =D
@Fsh - Yea I was thinking of saving NCAA MM for this challenge to try and resecure my 3rd place but apparently I had a couple people wanting me to hit 100k really badly yesterday.
Yay! Time to show some real skill now. Good luck everyone ;P
I won't gain too much this time around... I have soccer camp every day...
Congrats Majinfro.
To think you started the same time as me...
GL Everyone
I was bugging Majin about getting 100k then he went for it yesterday. :)
@Majin - looks like you had a big day yesterday... could have saved all of those points for today! grats on the 100k...
I don't know how you guys continue to put up all these GS gains...
Grrr.. missed it.
woo I think I hit 100k in the first hour of the challenge.
Good luck everyone!
Good luck all! I won't be putting many points up at all this week. Heading off on holiday on Thursday so getting ready for that between now and then. Not even sure if I'll have net access while I'm away yet... =(
w00t.
Fro's hitting 100k :O
GL everybody....
