Challenge update - 8/22/2008
Hold on tight! Here we go!! Forsooth! An ill wind blows news of Fshguy's horn of a Gamerscore Challenge ringing true. 30 have answered its beckoning call, dressing in the arms of their ancestors to venture forth in battle. Everyone's dusting off their old games and picking up some new ones for this challenge. This could go all the way to the wire with some pro-level gaming. Good luck!
Thanks again! Monky, if you're looking to get Viral quick, check out raitchison's viral challenges. Usually 3-5 days, and few people in it. That's how I got mine .
;-)
Congrats Buckswana!
Congrats Buckswana on the win. now only if i could win one challenge and get the viral badge I'll be happy. Anyways dmd 23 u know that you could of backed up ur hard drive right? sure u have 2 buy some extra equipment but its worth it if your HDD messes up or if you want to upgrade it.
Thanks everyone!
Congrats Buckswana!
Congrats Bucks.
I already had the 60 but i was able to get most of the saves onto a memory card so not all is lost.
Well played Buckswana, Congrats!
Congrats Buckswana!!
LOL.. dont give it up that easy.. lol!! you never know what someone might pull, there are a couple people that didn't have avatar done, don't remember who, but i think you have this one in the bag! ;)
Thanks! Great challenge! If I hadn't been off work this week, I wouldn't have stood a chance. I finished up a few hours ago, so if anyone wants it that bad, it's theirs LOL!
oh for sure, i didn't want to lose all my save in my games that i havn't complete, so i just opted to keep it!! i would love to have the 60g but its not worth 4hrs, and save points!
congrats Buckswana nice win.. unless some person pulls avatar out or 2k6's or something shady lol!! but dont worry it wont be me!!
Didn't think of that! If it's the hard drive that's messed up, then it's different, but otherwise, yeah, pain in the butt to swap it all.
LOL that is what i did with my took, mine back to best buy, and yes you can get the 60g. but i choose not to cause i didn't want to lose my hard drive, and all my save points, and saves period ect.. so i keep it, plus it takes like 3 hours to recover your gamertag:( FTL
Maybe you can get them to swap it for a 60GB model, since they're the new standard.
yea not sending it in. taking it to best buy to get a new one tomorrow. maybe they'll have one with games or something.
Sorry dmd. That sucks. Hopefully you can send it in and get a quick turnaround on it.
ya so my xbox just died =/
lol yup i totally hear ya! (1hour left) and time for some Battlefield!!..
Fsh- there is a GSL that starts september 4th..
I know what you mean. Most of my points are daytime, since I'm off work this week. Evenings have been mostly GoW and Rock Band with friends. Good Luck anyway-maybe I'll check out the GSL sometime!
I need to keep track of when those next GSL rounds are!
Fish
LOL i think you have this in the bag, cause when 6 o'clock comes around(2hours) i dont play games for achievements i play them with my friends, for fun.. Now if this was GSL that would be a different story! lol
plus i hate tons of easy games left too, madden, and most of the 2k6, saving them for the next gsl.. yay!!
Good luck to all!!
I own a lot of easy ones I haven't played yet either. I promise I won't pull out college hoops 2k6 until after the challenge! No guarantees on Open Season though. ;-)
bucks has it... his gamerscore is low enough he has plenty of easy options!
Bucks can do it! SWEEP THE LEG!
hey guys can anyone help me with the Marathon viral?
GO CRU! You got this one, I hope you win!
Take one day to help my mom move, and CRU goes point crazy!
Yay!!! 1 day left to do something amazing.
hmmm... probably won't happen.
Wow, I've been so busy getting ready for school only my brother has been able to play the Xbox.
@ Vengeance - dude you're overworked and underpaid!
as for the balls good news and bad news. good news: i had 6 hole-in-ones and won a free game.
bad news: the girl totally led me on. i guess that it's not appropriate on a first date to ask the girl if she is on any meds. then tell her the last date you had was on depression meds and that's a big RED FLAG and you'd have to take her home is she were on meds. it's even worse when the girl's sister is on meds.
better off though, who needs a woman with family history of depression! my apologies now to anyone here suffering depression...
@ Vengeance - dude you're overworked and underpaid! as for the balls... the good news is 6 hole in ones including on the last hole which won me a free game.
the bad news the girl led me on. aparently when you go on a first date, you shouldn't ask if the girl is on any medication. nor should you tell her the last girl you went on a date with was on depression medication, that is a big RED FLAG and you'd have to take her home. I guess the women don't like that sort of insensitivity, especially when their sisters are on meds...
on a much brighter note: I'm leaving for Vegas in 17 days!!
i am enjoying 12th btw. yay 12th
anybody realize from the commercial that death race isnt really all that much of a race. to me it looks like some kind of cars with guns fight. idk
OK OK OK ... Vengeance IS here ... and just in case you were worried ... I WILL occupy last place ... between the newborn, a new web project about to launch this week, the wife trying to cram the last few social events into the summer ... I think last place is pretty much a lock for me ...
Hey DMD ... are you balls still shinning brightly? ... GOLF ... balls people ... GLOW in the DARK golf balls ... sheesh we got some dirty minds here ...
Oh and KillRachelRay? Enjoy 12th place ... it is truly a seat of high honour ...
Just going to let everyone know that I ended up getting 45 points offline, I didn't mean to do it. When my bros friends come over to play Halo 2 and Galo 3 with him they B*4ch and complain @ me that I'm lagging them. Which its not my fault that we have $h*t internet. Again just letting everyone know and I do apologize.
Since I finally finished Forza (except online) and Halo 3, I'm trying to blow through some games I've had sitting around and never played while I'm on vacation. CSI was 9 hours of my life I wouldn't mind having back. Needed lots of coffee for that one.
I do agree with you about the quick point gain. I know how quick Maddn '09 is. Its not that big of a deal....I am sure everybody is cool with it................................................
JUST DON'T LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN!!?!?!?! LOL!
lol, I was so mad when it happened cause I knew someone was going to be checking achievements. They always are. Once again though I'm sorry for the screw up I love Fsh's challenges and would never do anything to break the rules on purpose. Besides if you have played Madden 09 I'm sure u know you can get just about 19 achievements in one game alone
LIES!!! BURN HIM!!! BURN HIM AT THE STEAK!!!
That happens to me all the time, but I gain achievements so rarely, I can catch it in time. Except that one SC 4 achievement.
I'm sorry about that guys, I didn't do it on purpose. I was playing through madden and when I finished the game I checked my dashboard and I was signed off. I have no idea what happened. When I signed back on apparently there was an update or something. Once again I didn't plan, and I'm sorry.
He obviously didn't count on Buckswana busting out CSI this week. Maybe next challenge he can try and cheat better.
Hey.... what about the rule that you need to play ALL of your games online - LOOK @ High Knight he has 815 points (as of 7:30pm EST) but only 165 points were aquired today, the rest have NO date.
TS Fay FTW.......
doubtful
my 360 got the 3RROD yesterday, so i decided to turn on my vacation settings. now with my vacation settings on, will i still be able to join challenges and stuff to get my number of challenges up?
Man, good thing I didn't want to win this one. Tropical Storm Fay kicked my butt the last two days. Now I just let Bionic Commando kick my butt instead.
fsh FTW
Good luck you guys and gals!
No chance for me =/
I thought I was going to get a head start by playing right after midnight. Looks like it didn't help. Good luck all!
yea i'm working towards my 100 challenges badge!
Good luck! I'm simply here to pad the total since I'm busy with the start of a new semester. My goal is to pad out my completion % and actually get 50%. :-)
I was gunna go for the win on this one, and then remembered my girlfriend is coming over for a few days. Maybe next time chaps and chapesses :p
Good luck all, time to increase that completion % :)
Good luck all! Happy achievement gaining! :D
Good Luck everyone.
Rule # 2
... hmm...
nice work joining this time vengeance!
Since I asked, thanks ;)
Good luck everybody!
Damn, missed this one.
pwn'd.
good luck
Welcome and enjoy... Good luck... Since somebody asked... the only real rule here is that you play all of your achievements online, especially if you're going to be in the top 5...
