Koding's Xbox - May 16 2008

When you get right down to it, when Koding decides to play - it's a good day all around. Our score is 41,684 and always improving! That is a gain of 240 points over last time! He rallied Assassin's Creed gaining an amazing 6 achievements, GTA IV, Stranglehold acquiring 5 achievements, and after that, called it a day.

Koding also wrapped up a gamerscore challenge today. Remember? Guess who the big loser was? Koding... booo... oh well. we tried... came in at number 2. Lucky for us, we can jump right into another challenge and compete for a bigger win. Plus, it just means more time spent on our favorite games and a bigger gamerscore! I guess we won something after all! | permalink | 7 comments

Koding's Xbox - May 15 2008

Koding must have heard my calling... I was practically startled when his greasy finger pounded my power button. I mean come on... be a little gentle... I am fragile. Just some helpful advice for someone with a 41,444 gamerscore. That is an increase of 170 points over last time! He rocked out to GTA IV, Stranglehold acquiring an amazing 11 achievements, and then nothing... nothing at all...

What is really good is that every day played is another chance to pull away from cluskevird and that 18,068 score... Make it happen Koding!!

I always like to end with a little bit about Koding and the ongoing gamerscore challenge status. Don't take my word for it! See for yourself! There are 8 other people involved. I didn't know Koding even knew that many people. Out of everyone, Koding is holding on to the number 2 spot. Only one day left though... We better get on it if we are going to pull this thing out. | permalink | 7 comments

Koding's Xbox - May 14 2008

Koding decided to game yesterday and we rocked out like the three musketeers, except there were only two of us... 41,274 points of total gamerscore and counting... That is a gain of 845 points over last time! That was enough to cross the 41,000 mark! Good stuff! He opened up Jumper adding an amazing 16 achievements, GTA IV picking up 1 achievement, Rainbow Six® Vegas 2 picking up 2 achievements, and then it felt like he threw my controller and I was like, TAKE IT EASY SHEESH and we stopped.

Oh and it is time for a gamerscore challenge update... listen up... Don't take my word for it! See for yourself! 8 other people are mixing it up, meaning fierce competition and some creative trash talk. Currently, Koding is setting the pace, though, jumping into the lead and hoping to hold on through the end of the challenge. Let's not get comfortable resting on our laurels. We've still got 2 days left and there's a lot of achievements out there for the earning. | permalink | 7 comments

Koding's Xbox - May 13 2008

I thought Koding just wanted to listen to music or watch a DVD. Turns out he was there to game. With a gamer score of 40,429, I should have known that was the case. He opened up Rainbow Six® Vegas 2, GTA IV, and then he almost hugged me, but I was like back off dude.

Also, Koding went and accepted a gamerscore challenge, so I'm stocking up on coffee for the overtime I'll be working over the coming days. Check it out... the challenge is called 'Fafhrdd's Quicky #15'. | permalink | 5 comments

Koding's Weekly Recap - 5/12/2008

Are you ready for a recap? I know I am! Giddyup: It is a good one! Koding had seven days of gaming! In a row! I know! Crazy! We added 485 points of gamerscore. Good stuff! Who knew 25 achievements could be worth that much? Ok I knew that... Also, by my expert calculations, Koding's favorite game last week was GTA IV. He played it on 7 of the days.

And that is all I got... it's not much, but it is interesting. | permalink | leave comment

Just some helpful advice for someone with a 40,429 gamerscore. That is an improvement of 70 points over last time! He made some progress on GTA IV adding 2 achievements, Assassin's Creed acquiring 2 achievements, and then he started getting all these friend requests because of high awesomeness levels.

Lucky for us, we can jump right into another challenge and compete for a bigger win. Plus, it just means more time spent on our favorite games and a bigger gamerscore!

GTA IV

Koding wanted me to tell you:

Wow...I just finished the story mode of GTA IV and was very surprised by the ending. I did it in 27 hours so I got the "Liberty City Minute" achievement too! Awesome game and I'm sad that the story is already over. Now I just have to go back and complete all the side missions, jump the ramps, shoot the pigeons, and do other fun stuff!
So there you have it... w00t...

Koding playing GTA IV...

Koding and I were playing a little GTA IV and he wanted to let you know:

Argh...there's never a motorcycle around when you want one!
...and I think he wanted to say more, but I turned it off.
