looks like GTA did it for us and we're well over 90K achieves. good job. i hope to be at 20K GS soon. keep it strong people, keep it strong.

[Rookas]

:no: I've dropped down to 6th place.

I'm down to 7th, the PS3 is killing my gamerscore.

[PabUK Veteran]

I've lost interest in my overall gamerscore. There just seem to be so many good games to play on so many platforms (360, PS3, DS, PSP) that it doesn't make sense to waste time going for achievements in games that I don't enjoy. I'll keep getting as many GS as possible in games I do like though, such as GTA IV for instance.

These Microsoft Points - you earn them through in-game achievements and they're there to buy other things? Assuming you earn 1000 Microsoft Points and buy something worth 500, will your profile on MyGamerCard show your total achieved amount (1000 rather than 500)? If not, seems pointless to earn them all just to get a higher score on that board and no be able to buy anything out of your hard earned gaming achievements.

You're thinking of Gamerpoints. You earn Gamerpoints through achievements, but they can't be used to buy stuff on the Marketplace. If they could, I'd own every single Arcade game by now! :D

Close to 100k achievements guys. How's everyone been?

Been a month of not playing my box, and i still sit at 15th place! :)

[Guest]

It's summer, I've hardly touched my 360 in weeks :(

[neoadorable]

well slane, you guys are really letting it go. i have an excuse, but you people...you're just slacking!

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

He's back :o

[Slane]

Brother keeps taking the 360 and i'm unemployed. So no new games for me, and considering my brother keeps taking my box I can't play any old games.

[neoadorable]

sorry to hear about your job slane, didn't you just start there last year? besides, unemployment is a great opportunity to devote yourself to gaming and PBR - both are cheap and good for the soul. one rental a week won't kill you, i'm sure. if you can afford the electricity, you can afford one game a week. as for your brother taking the console, now that has excuse written all over it.

i'm sure you'll find something soon, cheer up.

One rental a week = month of WoW. I did start last year, they downsized, and I started up school again, so a job has been the last thing on my mind atm. And it's true, my brother does take it, he brought it back last night, so if I feel like hooking it up, i'll do that.

[neoadorable]

only you know your priorities, if WoW is more important, then it comes first. and you used to be such a devoted soldier around here...well, it was a good run. besides, i'll be passing you on the board in no time. heck the way things are i'll be first in four years, and then a screensave and i'm good...

[Slane]

Nah, once I start working I'll continue to build my score. Out of town this weekend, but I think it's the last time I let my brother borrow it, I'll start playing some old games. I'm not down for the count, just taking a long intermission.

[neoadorable]

it'll be good to have you back, and all the others...this ain't over till I say it's over.

EDIT: wow i'm that motivational? your score just went up by 30! to quote the Russian sales lady from GTAIV -

"a customer! goot, goot..."

Ya well brother got arrested, so I took all my **** from him as punishment, and busted out GTA. Finished the Unique Stunt Jumps, 100 away from 25k, gotta pick which game to get a 100 in. Debating between Mass Effect, GTAIV, Two Worlds, or Forza.

[neoadorable]

i'd say GTAIV...mass effect will take too long, forza 2 is horrible for achieves unless you're on the cusp of one.

but aren't you worried about your brother? why the hell was he arrested?

[+Mystic MVC]

I've had Mygamercard for months know but never joined the Neowin clan. For what reason I don't know, but now I'm on. Apparently I have a pretty weak Gamerscore and I'm at 93 out of 211. :(

No biggie, you'll be alright, just keep on playing you'll get up there. I got a few games, I could help boost ya.

Grand larcency. Papers were served today, just gotta wait for court date to be announced. And no, he's a ****tard, should have learned from me, but he's to stupid to realize that. Probally won't go to jail, though I think it be funny if he did, maybe then this whole new "i'm the ****" attitude of his will disappear.

[neoadorable]

welcome to the leadboard mystic, yeah you have been around for a while, what kept ya? the joy of gaming is progress, you'll go up.

as for you and your bro slane, i don't want to pry, but do you guys by any chance have a cousin called Roman? tell him to watch out for the dude with the folded paper (or was it flower bouquet?).......

seriously, i hope he does learn from this and becomes better. we live in a society. but then i don't know the details. this society can make people go bad quite easily.

[Slane]

He's just an idiot, and I'm the **** not you kinda of kid. He'll learn.

50 GS away from 25k and less than 50 achievements away from 1000 achievements I've unlocked. O ya!

[Slane]

Can't edit and it's been awhile since i've double posted in this thread.

But I just hit 25,000! It only took 953 achievements. Current score is 25000/47455. Rented Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom, loving the game so far, not a strong story (any at all imo) just hacking and killing and well I love it. :)

So that leaves me at 18th place, 475 points behind 17th place.

Are current stats are :

210 Users

2,188,170GS

94,259 Total Achievements

So everyone, including myself, should step it up a notch (huge or small) and get some more points and achievements. Let's break 100k!

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Unlocked a few battlefield achievements earlier on today. I have a pile of games set out I'm gonna finish over the next few months before Uni starts again. More interested in completing them but hopefully I'll get a decent amount of points too.
