Challenge update - 7/30/2008
Hold on tight! Here we go!! NaiLSONS has chambered a Gamerscore Challenge titled 'Win NaiLSONS' Games #11!!!'... 25 gamers are locked, loaded and ready for battle! I am sure everyone is breaking out every title they have to gain the edge. Experience is going to pay off for someone in the end. We'll follow this challenge closely.
Thanks bootleg. I count my 2 whole points a good victory lol. kind of sad really lol. Now we are just waiting on nailsons for his exciting post. Hope its got some goodies in it.
congrats AE
okay.....nobody is crying, whatever.
To Drexel WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
congrats AE Diamond. The new rules make it tough to win for new members.
good win AE! and congrats on your semi-win sparky lol
Congrats AE.
congrats AE on the win! =]
Congrats on the win AE. Nice job.
Whoohoo. 2 points for the win over Col. I couldnt stand anymore crappy games for the night so I left it at that lol.
good challenge everyone
beaten by 2 points.......agh!
Good job sparky!
I have had my fill of King Kong for the night. I'm tired of the glitchy game play. Some times it works in my favor but all the time. It just froze on me and that was the last straw for the night. I think I have 2 more points than Col does so atleast I upheld the challenge lol.
@sparky: my friend used the cheats religiously, and got 1000/1000. so i am pretty sure it will unlock. but if you are gonna be a man and go with out the cheats, its overall an easy/boring game.
@nailsons - I have stuff on my DVR from February that I haven't watched yet and I'm home 24/7...I rule lazy :)
It's been a good challenge ladies and gentlemen! It looks like AE is going to hold on for the victory, unless of course dream makes a huge run before the night ends. Stranger things have happened. So congrats to whoever wins, lol. Thanks for coming out and continuing to support these weekly events everyone. I'll have the info on the next challenge in tomorrow's post, and there may be a possibility of a date being announced for the Challenge of Champions. Thanks again, and I hope to see you all back here next week!
@ domejohnny: Thanks for the reminder, I almost forgot! I've got the Tivo going it so I can watch it later. I'm so lazy that I can't even watch a tv show on time, lol.
@Sparky, my sanity level has never been in question, I like all of the crap no one else likes and I don't play all the normal things everyone loves, hence my 0 in Halo 3 and 10 pts in Gears of War. If I struggle with camera angles, I wind up sick so I miss out on a lot of good stuff.
Back from the game early and I need to stress the fact that Pre-season football gets dumber and dumber each year...
@Sparky- I hated it as well, I rented, got 200 points, but couldn't stomach the game so i just up and left it
I know that there are cheats but I have also heard that if you use the cheats then you dont get the final achievement for beating the whole game. So therefor I am not using the cheats. And as for you Dome...you are crazy, how could you like this hunk of crap?
@Sparky, I actually liked it.
@Bootleg, it's easy enough though that you really don't need any cheats.
King Kong was horrible. i beat it, and the next day i found out there were cheats. i was ticked...
Is it just me or does anyone else hate the game King Kong. What a horrible waste of time this is turning out to be.
Well, I finally finished Ticket To Ride, guess I should have played other stuff during this :) I am so bad at that game..it took me forever to get 25 ranked wins.
@Nailsons - WEC on tonight on VS.
RIP: Joshnorm's Xbox 360 #1
It was a good box, lasted me close to 3 years. It was better then most.
I guess this was the push from me to get a 60 GB that I was debating. This will be repaired then sold to a buddy who wants one on the cheap. Still a sad day.
Just a short announcement...
I thought I would have more time this weekend to defeat you all in this challenge, unfortunitly, my friends came from out of town and I am going to the Hall of Fame game with them, so needless to say you've won this round...
But heed this warning, if there is one more NailSons' challenge, I give you this statement/guarentee...
I will be the victor & nobody/nothing will stop me from hitting the top of that mountain.
Until then, it's Colts vs. Redskins.
jennz you should dedicate this song to equilibrium....j/k. Hope you don't get offended but this was too funny:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdaSv4a-ia4&NR=1
Wow what a battle between two of the best pound for pound fighters in the world:
http://pacquiaovideo.com/2008/07/cot...fight-hbo.html
Antonio Margarito vs. Miguel Cotto reminds me of the No Mas fight between Leonard & Roberto Duran:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDYnO9gGwIQ
Everyone should at least check out the 1oth and 11th round! Fantastic match between Margarito and Cotto!
go sparky go go.......
Okay a quick nap (I have been up all night) and I should be up and ready to knock out some of these achievements that are so eagerly awaiting to be added to my gamerscore. I'll see everyone in a few hours.
@ Col Hartman: Just go to xboxlivenation.com and click on Live Services. You'll see how to do it there. It's a cool feature, but be warned though, I've been trying to get mine to stop for 2 months now, and it just won't quit.
I had a boosting session to do tonight so no points for me tonight. But that okay. I have all day tomorrow to finish off one of my games. I'm getting close to 20 complete retails, so maybe I will finish that off tomorrow. Or at least try to :)
Nailsons how do you get your twitter to post what you are doing over xbox live?
Talk is cheap Sparky I'll believe it when I see it. If I see you actually putting some points up then I'm your Huckleberry!
On another note I just got home from a BBQ in Encino, good times.
I'm watching 30 Rock now.
oh and still can't beat it:(
go sparky:) Didn't gain any points today too busy trying to beat the level of BF MC were you have to disable two missiles from launching
go sparky!! lol
Whoohoo. I like personal challenges. I will take your challenge. I will put down a few hundred points today just to beat COL. At your request of course lol. I should be able to get into third place quite easily.
@Col Hartman: I try with the guide but i just can't get those last 8 achievements i need if you want to can you please look at the last 8 and tell me the easy way to get them? Thanks I have tried simming by the way.
@ Sparky you can do you part by putting up more than 58 points in 3 days......lol
"Come on everyone. This is a very boring challenge."
If its boring for you then put up some points you. I challenge you to get close to me (trash talk) and even try and beat me in this challenge.
fragmaster, madden 08 is cake, get the guide and you'll be gravy.
As far as points, we dont always have to put up a tons of points. The last challenge there were a ton of points put up and I had less fun than now. I'm just happy that the people that are in the top 3 had at least 47,000 points to start with.
I really belive the new rules (I love them Nailsons) are afecting the way people play. No longer do we see someone ing up 3000 points in one day of easy sport games :)
Thanks Nailson's, you're new rules are perfect.
I'm trying to beat Battle Filed 2 MC's campaign and the game itself at 1000G and madden 08 at 1000G and still can't do it i really need to send these back for other games:(
Sorry Sparky, im just not getting my fair share of points this challenge....
im going to push to win but i donno if il make it
yeah I thought I would be getting much more points as well but I've had one crazy week! Plus I have been addicted to Unreal Tournament 3 hehe
Sparky, I'm trying. It's hard to balance famiiy, work (with an odd work schedule to boot), and gaming. I'm lucky I was/ am able to put this much up this time.
Come on everyone. This is a very boring challenge. Where are all the points. There are 25 of us in here and yet in three days only 9000 points have been scored. I mean seriously. I want everyone to triple how much they have put up so far. Come on lets do this!!!
@Nailsons Equil is my bf =]
It looks bad for my side...but then again, never say never...Muah ha ha ha
@col: no problem. im no stranger to boosting, i am always willing to help a fellow gamer out =)
@bootleg - didn't realize it was endless set on expert - that'll never be me, I can only do like 10 songs on expert (and poorly).
@ dreamweaver: that really sucks about NASCAR. That would turn me off from ever playing another racing game again.
@ equilibrium: which gamer is your gf? You should both join us in the next challenge, I don't think we've ever had a bf/gf team compete together. Well, unless you count dome and doofey, but one is just her to help boost the challenge score.
no johnny actually they must have beat the endless set list on expert and have the platinum artist achievement
The Coattails achievement has to come from someone who finished it on Expert..
this guy on my FL already has Madden 09....wtf?
thanks 4 helping in Rockband bootleg! u were right I dont have any Who DLC :(
Hartman and i tried, and as i figured, the coatails ach. is not viral. sorry guys =P
sorry for posting the samething 3 times, i must have accidently clicked it 3 times.... stupid left hand lol
@bootleg I am sorry to hear about your arm. I can be on in Rock Band in 5 minutes.
i just have to say, i hate ea, i was playing nascar 09 and there is a ach for getting 201 wins, well i got to 189, also within about 200 miles of the 5000 mile achievement and the profile went into oblivion, (the game crashed, and its busted) im soooo mad,, 275 points i dont have now that i should
@Jaded That's really kool that your daughter plays with you! When I have kids they will be fighting with me and my husband for the tv to play games. Instead of being sent to their room as punishment it will be going to their room to help boost games with us haha
@Bootleg : my daughter is in a cast and she is still able to play alot of games (we talked the doctor into freeing up her lumb a little more). The ones she does well at though are burnout, golden compass, viva pinata, and on rock bamd she has become my singer. Good luck with the cast!!
I'm here watching my gf in the challenge. When I had one good hand due to a shattered elbow I played oblivion.
@everyone: well as most of you know I broke my arm, and I was told I have about 4 to 6 weeks in this annoying thing. Im having withdraws of playing games, but even worse playing my guitars lol. The only game I can play is GTA:SA for the ps2 because I am very skilled at that game, and the controller fits in the palm of my hand lol. I am thinking of picking up Scene It for the 360, but I was wondering if there was any other games for the 360 that are fun and entertaining, yet only require one hand (dont be making that nasty in your head lol). Thanks, I really wanna play some games again!!

@dream and cant: send me a friend request and i will see what i can do. i got it in a guitar battle match, and i didnt give it to my friends that i played the quick band with, so we may have to do trial and error until we find the correct way. on x360a it doesnt say its viral, so this may be interesting.
@col: i broke my arm, but i can still try to help lol im EST too so what ever time is good for you, i am really just stuck at home
if anyone has prize fighter and wants to work on the online achievements let me know
@nailsons - fedor vs arlovski in october about 20 minutes from my house - woohoo!
@dream, I could see to it that one of the three you don't win, but I don't feel like playing :)
yes it does , i say that it looks good that one of us will win
its nice to see three members of the dream team in the top three
Done very little the past 2 days, trying to work up some motivation to play and it's just not working...
okay I call drus so far no message from Bootlegwarrior yet,
rock band ach, hit me up when you guys do it
@ Col & Bootleg
I would love to get in on that achievement also. tell me what time you guys are thinking about doing it and I will join. I'll sing!
yes Bootleg it is a viral achievement so maybe we can play @ other in Rock Band. I am EST so just gimme a time and I'll show up. Thanks mate!
@josh - it really depends on where you work, but I imagine it could be found offensive by some.
Is the link SFW?
@Cant: LOL, good stuff, although I'm disappointed there was no Jim Norton commentary in it!
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/450253
If you're under about...16, dont go to the link but I just thought some poeple might laugh at this
There is a cheat for the HR rob, the super jump or whatever it is and just play in Fenway and you'll get it almost instantly...
haha
@Sparky: I got the homerun catch the first homerun for me. I had practice from mlb 2k7 a while back which took forever for me. I was well practiced. thanks though
@dream Yeah GO dream team
@Nailsons: yeah thanks. too bad I go home on weekends and dont get to play. I really have 2 day challenges while others play the whole 5 days. It sucks but I try to put as much points in the first 2 days and see if it holds up. lol
@col: is it viral? i dont think it is. but i have it if so. =)
@flyingmario
So did you get all the achievements already. I played that game a few weeks ago and the rob a home run achievement gave me a hard time for a little bit. If you missed an achievement maybe I can help you finish it off.
can anyone help me get this Riding on Coattails achievement in rock Band?
thanks.
way to go mario haha
Thanks for being so upfront flyingmario. You are right, we definitely don't want another ordeal like last week, lol. By the way, good work on starting the challenge off so strong!
I just wanted to let nailsons know that I played mlb 2k6. I didn't play offlinf but I didn't want a Drexel tool fiasco again like last week. I also played in on the first day like the rules said.
good luck to everyone in this challenge and future Nailson's challenges
That's cool dream. The reason I didn't join earlier is because I'd already joined one a month or so ago, and I thought it was the same one. That's what I get for thinking, lol.
im sry nailsons its already past, we drafted earlier today
Hey dream, is that fantasy league still open? I used the link but it said I couldn't view the page because I wasn't in the league. I probably waited too long to join...I am so lazy.
Anywhom, I've just had my worst day a work and as punishment, I am going to take all my anger out on Achievements...
Bad Achievements! Bad!
Good luck everyone!!
SCIV is outstanding....Thats all I got. Good luck all.
Cantseemefools I am watching you.

Nah, no sweat.
My mistake, I apologize sincerly. I didnt mean to offend, I was just joshing around a bit.
@Cantseeme - I was the one that recommended he post in here about people for the 360 FF league because last week's challenge was a whole lot of football chat.
good luck everyone in this challenge
awesome, hope to see ya at the draft
I joined the FF league dream, that should give you "the 1 more team"
i joined this challenge to win, if your implying about the message about the fantasy football i typed one message about it and it didnt seem to go through, some sorta delay, so i retyped something again, then i figured id put up the link,, i would also like anyone to join, because we need at least 1 more person
what are you talking about cantseemefools???
Something tells me that dreamweaver might have joined our challenge for a different reason...
ANYWHOM...good luck to all of y'all and hopefully we all have fun.
(IF you would like, all the people from this challenge who watch me, will be watched in return.)
