    Indeed.

  2. SothofBlackRose Says... 8/30/2008 11:48:28 AM PST

    Yes indeed it was! XD
    It's so much fun when there's a lot of people....too bad most of them weren't real serious about it.

  3. err caboose Says... 8/30/2008 11:17:01 AM PST

    Haha, wow.
    That was a great challenge.

  4. SothofBlackRose Says... 8/29/2008 9:23:09 PM PST

    Good game! I actually had some competition this time.

  5. err caboose Says... 8/27/2008 5:04:16 PM PST

    VICTORY SHALL BE MINE!!

  6. err caboose Says... 8/26/2008 9:56:52 PM PST

    I hope you guys have got some some popcorn, because this is getting good.

  7. err caboose Says... 8/23/2008 9:15:30 PM PST

    It's going to be a close race for 3rd, it looks like.

  8. err caboose Says... 8/22/2008 7:32:35 PM PST

    To Amanda's comment, I would be pi$$ed.
    :P

  9. SothofBlackRose Says... 8/21/2008 9:05:37 AM PST

    Curse you band camp!!! You're making me unable to gain anything. XD

  10. SothofBlackRose Says... 8/19/2008 7:03:22 PM PST

    That would just be so wrong....XD

  11. shotgunchief Says... 8/19/2008 10:54:36 AM PST

    Wouldn't it be hilarious if Walter came back from his trip and had like...3,000 points to add? XD

  12. err caboose Says... 8/17/2008 8:52:05 PM PST

    Good lord, Kern.
    You're a freaking beast!

  13. SothofBlackRose Says... 8/17/2008 9:59:38 AM PST

    Hm....I'll need to put mine in and see if it has problems now....I hope it doesn't. >_<

  14. InsaneDarkCloud Says... 8/16/2008 11:56:45 PM PST

    No it's neither, It's all the damn problems that the game is having in general. It wasn't this bad when it first came out, then an update hit and screwed everyone's copy up, now... it's pure crap.

  15. SothofBlackRose Says... 8/16/2008 9:59:54 PM PST

    Well I've never heard of that before....sounds really weird. Is it your internet lagging the 360 in some way or is it the 360 not able to process all those things at once? o.o

  16. InsaneDarkCloud Says... 8/16/2008 5:36:29 PM PST

    It's not that the disc can't read the game, it's that the game can't be played with my xbox plugged into the internet without it crapping out. NG2 has some serious issues that have yet to be resolved.

    As for the challenge overall, I might be getting a new game this weekend but I'm not sure, so better watch out.

  17. SothofBlackRose Says... 8/13/2008 9:18:42 PM PST

    Not exactly what I was implying, but okay. XD
    And the victory wouldn't be BS, I've just been working hard on the gain. =P

  18. err caboose Says... 8/13/2008 12:32:37 PM PST

    Why? So you can lock in your bs victory?
    *shakes head*
    Not gonna happen again.

  19. SothofBlackRose Says... 8/12/2008 6:20:50 PM PST

    Urgh....this is fun...right? I wish I could have made it shorter. XD

  20. shotgunchief Says... 8/12/2008 1:08:12 PM PST

    Well this sucks. If "Green Grass and High Tides" wasn't such a hard ass song, I'd have beaten Rock Band on expert by now. ><

  21. err caboose Says... 8/12/2008 10:07:12 AM PST

    Damn. All I'm getting now are lousy 10 point achievements.
    *frustrated face*

  22. SothofBlackRose Says... 8/11/2008 8:58:05 PM PST

    I hate it when it can't read the disc....it's such a pain.

  23. InsaneDarkCloud Says... 8/11/2008 8:55:51 PM PST

    I can't even play one of my games that I was hoping to play during this contest...

    Microsoft sucks.

  24. SothofBlackRose Says... 8/11/2008 4:25:07 PM PST

    With Insane mode....anything is possible! XD

  25. err caboose Says... 8/11/2008 1:30:24 PM PST

    Hey man, I'm earning my achievements too.

  26. SothofBlackRose Says... 8/11/2008 11:55:17 AM PST

    Hehehe, except I'm earning all my achievements the hard way. XD
    Not buying new games and actually working to get the hard achievements for games. XP

  27. AxS Nitro Says... 8/11/2008 11:27:55 AM PST

    ... Kern, Caboose... I dislike you right now. lol

  28. err caboose Says... 8/9/2008 2:16:37 PM PST

    I doubt it.

  29. SothofBlackRose Says... 8/9/2008 10:02:11 AM PST

    There's still 21 days left, I'm sure you'll be able to catch up. XD

  30. err caboose Says... 8/9/2008 4:02:11 AM PST

    At this point, it's just a battle between me and you, Kern.
    And I'm not even sure if I can catch up.

  31. SothofBlackRose Says... 8/8/2008 10:18:29 AM PST

    Nyan~ X3

  32. err caboose Says... 8/7/2008 11:29:21 PM PST

    I hate you, Kern....

  33. err caboose Says... 8/7/2008 6:40:07 PM PST

    Watch out, Kern....

  34. shotgunchief Says... 8/7/2008 1:43:56 PM PST

    The achievements I'm getting in Rock Band are taking a while...I'll keep playing Scene it? to see if I can get anymore achievements.

  35. SothofBlackRose Says... 8/7/2008 11:34:29 AM PST

    Hehe, curse Turok! XD
    And Caboose has new games, so you guys need to watch out. lol

  36. freelancer92 Says... 8/7/2008 12:20:00 AM PST

    Damnit kern! I thought I was doing good too....Turok doesn't have enough achievements.

  37. err caboose Says... 8/6/2008 11:25:10 PM PST

    Hehehe.
    Iis are going to own you guyz.

  38. SothofBlackRose Says... 8/6/2008 1:49:37 PM PST

    Keep it clean guys....no quarelling in the challenge. I think I'm going to delete these two comments due to the fact that they have nothing pertaining to the challenge.

  39. SPARTAN117 0009 Says... 8/4/2008 7:38:09 PM PST
