CHALLENGE UPDATES 
Challenge update - 8/6/2008
I am calling this sucker DONE! The Gamerscore Challenge titled The Meltdown has ended. Mightymango is the winner! I wouldn't have called it this way... but whatever. The Dren's was ahead until the last day... but I guess that happens. A total gain of 1,175 in 5 days was enough for the win.
On the final day, the 13 challengers put up a total of 1285 points. Mightymango added 560, The Dren added 275, ZeroDesolation added 230, StingX2 added 120, and JohnnyDrama814 added 100. Yay for the winner and thanks to the other 12 gamers for giving it a shot.

The excitement continues. Don't believe me? Check it: ZeroDesolation threw down and ended up with the lead today by tacking on 190 points. All 13 participants combined, they put up a total gain of 1005 points.

Challenge update - 8/1/2008
And they are off! Place your bets! The field is set and the challengers are ready. ZeroDesolation's Gamerscore Challenge called The Meltdown is underway. I wonder where ZeroDesolation found these people... maybe in a city called AWESOMEVILLE, population: 13... Experience is going to pay off for someone in the end. We'll follow this challenge closely.

Yeah, I finished off lost.
#45 Completed Retail.
Yep, Mango pulled off the win in the end. Congrats Mango.
I'll post the next challenge in here as well.
Looks like Mango has it, my right wrist hurts, my eyes are burning, and I'm dead tired, calling it a night, good job buddy.
I lost THE GAME! Darn.
I just finished Lost.
i just don't have the time. I need sleep and if you gain any more it won't win either way. hehe
so between mango and dren now since sting has gone to bed and now I am as well.
880 in Bionicles, I'm tired of this game, just hit 2.5M Legos. Woot!
OatBob: hilarious
Mango, that's fine, I want first anyway. you an keep 2nd.
Zero : No worries, I'll steal 2nd place back for you.
d'oh! I'm getting beat by my #2 account I've only been using for Halo. How shameful!
sting: hehe yep
now quit putting up those points. you already took 2nd away from me.
I think I just follow you in these now Zero
sounds like a plan.
depending on how many want in on it, i might wait 1 or 2 days just so everyone else will be able to join in if they want in.
Sure Zero, you can host again if you like.
tight race for sure. Top 3 get challenge points, so it'll be a fight to stay in the top 3 or to win it.
Want me to host another one after this?
whoa crazy night I see
Storm is coming ashore, not very strong. I've got my play in for the day for the streak, will play some real games after work tonight.
The Li've Preview is screwey, it's 7:00 AM here and it only shows me with 240 gain for yesteerday currently, but you could see 260 a few hours ago.
haha Darn it Dren, I was hoping to take first back from you last night. You didn't have but 80 points when I went to bed and now I see 260. DOH! 8P
I'm not even gonna calculate those scores to see who is in what place. I'll just wait for the update to see how it turns out. Will be close for sure.
Hrmm, looks like I need to get Lost a bit more.
No storm yet. Tomorrow could be a good day for points, or I might get stuck at the office on Storm Duty and not get to play, but I kicked some Bionicle Butt today!
haha Sting, you always seem to be right on my heels on every challenge we've done together so far. Will see if I can stay above you this time.
Dren, the challenge will be over the storm hits ya. 8)
Look out!
Here comes the Tropical Storm my way!

Trailing Zero by 5 now :O
Woot! Bionicles! Go Lego! Go Lego! Finish a level get 20-60 GS, go to the next level. And as this game has save issues I've been backing up my progress each day with my Datel reader. Should finish it if pretty quickly.
I think I may get a bit lost tonight.........
DOH! if all of Dren's points count, he'll have the lead this morning by 35 points.
looks like mango and sting will have a tie for 3rd if all the points count.
curious to see the update this morning for sure.
I should stop playing Final Fantasy X (PS2)
I should play something.
Uhh ohh! Dren has caught up and banging on my door now. Glad I got the points I got so far this morning. That's keeps me in the lead as of right now. I'll be heading out in a little and not sure when I'll get back on tonight.
Busted out Bionicles Heroes - Funniest shooter ever.
Looks like everyone is having a pretty descent night. Will be interesting to see tomorrow's scores.
Not to bad considering I only played one Retail game yesterday.
Geo Wars 2 to the rescue.
Not even half scored points yesterday. haha
Well, Everyone is still close, that's for sure.
Was out all day :P
No points today. Had an uneventful day till 4:15 PM, then one of my JR techs did something INCREDIBLY STUPID and got himself, a SR tech and a branch employee written up. By the time I got home I was only in the mood to kill somone, so in went COD4.
Wow. That is amazing. Guess we better start.
Awesome! 5 pm and no points yet. YEAH!!! We're all on even playing ground. hehe
Good luck everyone
Woot! Time to break out some games tonight! Someone just brought 3 cases of Monster into the office. I'm never sleeping again!
OMG! Dude! Was it an elite or just the standard one again? If standard, anyway to tell if ya got the new chipset in it?
Well, I had yet another xbox die on me last night. The pretty much destroyed my motivation........
Until I went and bought yet another 360.....I'm pathetic.
Interesting Group!
Good Luck!
I just laid down 180 points tonight and didn't realize I was about to do it. So that's 180 points you don't have to worry about. hehe
