For all new readers, I’ll go into detail about this challenge. Last September I bought an XBox 360. After Christmas, I realized that I had a lot of games for it that I just never played. I had over 25 games, and many of them were still in shrink wrap. This wasn’t just bad games either – for example I bought Bioshock on release date, and months later it was STILL sitting in the wrap, unplayed. Basically I was so busy with work and family that I didn’t have enough time to play the 360. Turning 27, I realized I was ready to become one of those people, who just grow too old for video games. Fuck that shit. I never, EVER want to become that person, and thus the challenge was begun.

By the end of the year, the aim is a minimum of 500 gamerscore points in all the 360 games I own. Theres also a couple of other people doing the same challenge with their games, and we’ve got bets going as to who can do it, who can’t etc. These articles won’t be the most exciting thing in the world; no visit to gay steam baths or nude pics of Jay Bower. With that, lets get into this weeks recap… [Continue...]

As the year 2008 approaches its halfway point, I can’t help but stop and think about the events I’ve experienced over the last few months that will remain my memory forever. There’s been good moments, like watching my daugther crawl for the first time. There’s been bad moments, like witnessing my son getting into his first serious accident requiring stitches. And there’s been great moments, like the one week banning of juices_world.

There’s also been horrific moments. Moments that I can’t bear to think about without breaking into a sweat, wondering why God had decided to punish me by forcing me to experience these.

And one of those was the weekend of February 1st through 3rd.

This was going to be the perfect weekend for me. It’d start with a Lakers/Raptors game on the Friday. Saturday would be Brock Lesnars UFC debut as he destroyed Frank Mir on the first chapter of his road to UFC domination. And it would all end on Sunday, with a team I’ve been a life-long fan of, the New England Patriots finishing off the perfect season with a victory over the New York Giants.

Unfortunately, the weekend didn’t go as planned. The New England Patriots crumbled thanks to an injured Tom Brady, who practically got out his deathbed to play. Saturday saw Lesnar get caught in a kneebar by Frank Mir, handing him humiliation in his first match. And then there was the Friday. Lakers. Raptors. My team won, but that was overshadowed by another event. An event so horrific, I’ll tell it to my kids when we’re telling scary stories. An event so evil and twisted, Stephen King would have a hard time putting it into words. An event so scary, that I’ve put off writing about it until months later. Yeah – that’s it. I was too scared to write it. That’s why its taken so long.

I am of course talking about…..

…..a road trip, with Toptenguy. [Continue...]

The Quest: At least 500 gamerscore points in every 360 game I own.

This was one of those weeks that just went too fast. Looking back I didn’t do too bad achievement wise, but I really could’ve done more. Saints Row is still stuck at 490, Rainbow Six Vegas still at 420 – and those are two games I really should have wrapped up by now. Unfortunately I’ve been playing games that it takes quite awhile to actually get achievements in. [Continue...]
