pferris has turned off his blog for now. Check back in a few days and maybe the Xbox will have more to say!
pferris' Xbox - Aug 24 2008
Don't worry... I'll wait... you can't game every day.
I also want to mention/remind you that pferris is participating in a pretty slamming gamerscore challenge. If you are curious, follow along over here. 4 other people are throwing down in this challenge. If I do the math correctly, it means that 4 players X 5 days means a whole lot of trash talk! Out of all those people, pferris is currently parked at number 4. With only one day left though, we need to make that last big push!

I tried to send pferris an email yesterday telling him to come play... he obviously didn't get it...
Oh, guess what? Our gamerscore challenge is going strong... Follow every up and down over here. There are 4 other people in the chase as well... so it's pretty cool. Currently pferris is hanging on to the number 4 spot. With 2 days to go, anything can still happen though... get on it!
pferris' Xbox - Aug 22 2008
pferris is the best... he treats me right, I treat him right. It is a good thing we have going here. Gamer score stands at 27,802. Not too shabby! That is a gain of 160 points over last time! He played Viking gaining 4 achievements, Fable® II Pub Games, and afterwards, there were some awkward stares and silence... you know how it is.
Hey, I almost forgot! The gamerscore challenge that pferris is competing in is on day 2 and we're doing our best to win this thing. If you want to follow along at home, catch the action here. There are 4 other people in the chase as well... so it's pretty cool. Currently pferris is hanging on to the number 3 spot. However there are still 3 days left to score achievement glory. Let's get to the top of that challenge board! Go!

pferris really threw down yesterday. It was good to see! I wish you could have been there! Last time I checked, his gamer score is 27,642. That is a profit of 94 points over last time! He rallied Viking acquiring an amazing 8 achievements, and I thought pferris injured himself in the process... but I was wrong... he lives to fight another day!

pferris had to choose between watching TV and playing with me and I am happy to say I won... this time... Gamerscore is at 27,548 points. That is an increase of 231 points over last time! He played Viking acquiring an amazing 11 achievements, and did it while drooling over my awesome graphics and sound.
What is really good is that every day played is another chance to catch up to DODswe4 and that 53,670 score... Make it happen pferris!!
Also, pferris 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 'Auto Challenge - #14081'.
pferris' Xbox - Aug 19 2008
When pferris was walking by I pretended to be off. I think it tricked him into turning me on for a few games. Gamer score stands at 27,317. That is a boost of 120 points over last time! He played Viking picking up an amazing 6 achievements, Fable® II Pub Games winning 1 achievement, and then he tried to watch TV, but I killed the power... If I can't have him, no one can.
pferris' Weekly Recap - Aug 18 2008
Watch closely because here comes the recap... if you aren't paying attention, you might miss it: 6 days of gaming made me pretty happy for some reason. A big holler to pferris for honoring me with what little time I know is available. We really made it happen on the gamerscore front. An increase of 790 points makes for a nice bounty. Those 29 achievements were worth it I guess!
I feel a little spoiled getting 2 new games to play in the same week. With titles like Fable® II Pub Games, and Viking, who can go wrong with that right? Also, I think pferris' favorite game last week was Fable® II Pub Games. He played it on 4 of the days.
So that's it for now. It was a good week. On to the next one.
pferris' Xbox - Aug 18 2008
Like a king on his throne, pferris said 'awaken' and for him I did comply. 27,197 points represents the size of our growing kingdom. Ok, enough of this Monarchy stuff. That is a gain of 360 points over last time! Welcome to 27,000!! He played Fable® II Pub Games acquiring 1 achievement, Viking adding an amazing 17 achievements, and... hmmm... maybe that was all... it felt like we played more games.
Oh hey, remember the challenge that pferris was in? It has come to an end. It wasn't even a challenge really. It was more like a declaration of experience and skill as pferris won it all! Despite crushing our opponents under a heap of achievements, good times were had by all. Now we're ready for a new challenge. Maybe someone reading this will step up? Send a join code!
pferris' Xbox - Aug 17 2008
I was about to feel sorry for myself, until pferris showed up and made my day with a little gaming! Our gamerscore stands at 26,837 and counting! He made some progress on Fable® II Pub Games, and laughed with joy and glee the whole time. I like making people happy.
Oh and it is time for a gamerscore challenge update... listen up... If you want to see how good I'm doing, check it out! 4 other people are mixing it up, meaning fierce competition and some creative trash talk. Current rank out of everyone is Number one though. So there... I've made a wager with the 4 other Xboxes in the Challenge -- let's not blow this thing...
pferris' Xbox - Aug 16 2008
pferris decided to ride the gamer-train yesterday. I will admit it... I was happy. What is the gamer score? 26,837 is what it is! That is a boost of 50 points over last time! He made some progress on Viking, Fable® II Pub Games adding 2 achievements, and then he had to stop because we both couldn't take it anymore... we were spent.
Oh and it is time for a gamerscore challenge update... listen up...

Plenty of time to rest 2 days from now after we've won this thing!
pferris' Xbox - Aug 15 2008
pferris was absent yesterday... I was smelling something that reminded me of sweat... he better not be playing with a Nintendo Wii... burning calories while playing games is just wrong.
This really sucks because it gives joshnorm a shot at widening the gap. We are still 13,048 points behind... but we can't get there if we don't play.
I always like to end with a little bit about pferris and the ongoing gamerscore challenge status. Here is the link: check it. 4 other competitors are racking up achievements and powering up their gamerscores, hoping to secure a victory! Currently pferris and I are on top of the challenge mountain... it's so beautiful, and high. I can see my house from here. Is that an airplane, or a space shuttle? How's the weather down there? We'll celebrate this lead tonight, but we're already thinking about the next 3 days and all of the achievements we'll be earning.
pferris' Xbox - Aug 14 2008
When you get right down to it, when pferris decides to play - it's a good day all around. Our score is 26,787 and always improving! That is a profit of 70 points over last time! He rocked out to Fable® II Pub Games winning 5 achievements, and then the lightweight went to bed. Freakin' wuss.
Did I mention the gamerscore challenge that pferris is competing in? If you are curious, follow along over here. There are 4 other people rocking out on this thing which keeps it fun. Currently, pferris is setting the pace, though, jumping into the lead and hoping to hold on through the end of the challenge. We just have to keep it up... keep playing the game... keep getting the points.
pferris' Xbox - Aug 13 2008
pferris held the Xbox button on his controller down for a few seconds and our adventure began! A gamer score of 26,717 is lighting the way. That is an increase of 10 points over last time! He opened up GTA IV picking up 1 achievement, Aces of the Galaxy, and afterwards, there were some awkward stares and silence... you know how it is.
Oh, also... we're probably going to see a lot more of pferris over the next few days as well. It is because he is in a gamerscore challenge titled 'Auto Challenge - #13729'. BRING IT ON!
pferris' Xbox - Aug 12 2008
pferris decided to game yesterday and we rocked out like the three musketeers, except there were only two of us... 26,707 points of total gamerscore and counting... That is a profit of 300 points over last time! He opened up The Golden Compass picking up 3 achievements to conquer the game, and after that, called it a day.
pferris' Weekly Recap - Aug 11 2008
Watch closely because here comes the recap... if you aren't paying attention, you might miss it: pferris played 6 days last week... pretty solid I guess... I'm not feeling that picky lately. This wasn't just low-key gaming either... our score bounced 980 freakin' points! Can you believe it? In one week? YES! Getting 25 achievements has that effect.
I was lucky enough to sample 2 new tasty treats during the week! Game names are Aces of the Galaxy, and The Golden Compass. Look for us in the leaderboards... maybe... Also, by my expert calculations, pferris' favorite game last week was The Golden Compass. He played it on 3 of the days.
That's all for now... keep reading the blog! Send us a PM or a game invite if you are lonely.

pferris decided to play yesterday. Check out the 26,407 gamer score! That is a profit of 440 points over last time! That was enough to cross the 26,000 mark! Good stuff! He rocked out to The Golden Compass adding an amazing 6 achievements, and did it while drooling over my awesome graphics and sound.
Oh also, It's all over man! ALL OVER! The gamerscore challenge called 'Auto Challenge - #13379' is through after an intense 5 days. We may have earned an 'A' for effort in this challenge, but they don't give out very many points for effort, some... but not many... you gotta win... maybe next time! Someone once said, 'Winning isn't everything.' Although, losing isn't anything. pferris, I want you to think about this while you go sign us up for another challenge.
pferris' Xbox - Aug 10 2008
pferris, there are 86,400 seconds in a day and you couldn't find a few to spend with me? Lame. It really is too bad pferris didn't play. We had quite a streak going at 13 days.
What is really bad is I thought we were starting to catch up to j sizzl and that 33,030 score... but not playing sure doesn't help the cause...
Oh BTW, did you know that pferris is competing in a gamerscore challenge? Here is the link: check it. There are 4 other people in the chase as well... so it's pretty cool. pferris has the number 2 spot... So many achievements... so little time. No, seriously.

Like a king on his throne, pferris said 'awaken' and for him I did comply. 25,967 points represents the size of our growing kingdom. Ok, enough of this Monarchy stuff. That is a boost of 100 points over last time! He played The Golden Compass acquiring an amazing 6 achievements, and then pferris had to stop for a bathroom break or something... Humans really are bags of mostly water.

I was thinking back over yesterday and I really don't remember pferris and I playing any games... but our gamerscore ended up at 25867 which is 150 points higher than before. I don't like it when I forget things. I guess we played though... I hope it was fun!
