Can't stop playing NHL 10 :wub: . But for some reason I can't seem to get the "complete a game using NHL 94 controls" achievement to unlock. I've played a few games using it, and nothing!!

[neoadorable]

EA Canada what do you expect. oops.

Thanks for the Dirt 2 recommendation remy, i may have to look into it, have a hankering for a racing game. it's either this or the latest NFS.

[ThePokedPenguin]

I`m up to 17006 thanks to my first run through of ODST

[neoadorable]

it's not bad for achieves. also, i can confirm Civ Rev is addictive, and the achievements make sense.

so how are we for goals this holiday season? we still have two slots available in the leaderboard.

[Slane]

1000/1000 ODST.

I'll go for 50k by the end of the year. Should be able to reach that.

[GuJu]

how do you people have TIME!!!!!!!

[Guest]

I'm aiming for 17,000 by the end of the year.

[GameOverRob]

I want to be over 80k by new year, hopefully higher thou

[Remysaus]

30000 seems like a reasonable goal :p

[neoadorable]

jonny and remy have realistic goals, not so sure about slane and rob, seems a bit high don't you think! Don't forget this is gonna be a lean holiday season.

personally i'd be content with 50K, but with this new job being what it is it doesn't seem likely.

but i did mean our collective goals - and we still have two openings on the leaderboard.

Go all out or don't go at all. I'm only 16kish away. And to take it a step further, I won't to break the 2000k achievement mark and break 20 games completed mark.

Current Gamerscore: 3,762,300

Current Achievements: 175, 417

I'm down for the 4 mill and 200k marks, but I think some (NEO!) may think it's a bit high (pfffft), so how about 3.9 mill and 190k achievements by years end?

[GameOverRob]

The gamerscore milestone is probably achieveable slane but I don't think that the total achievements have a chance of hitting 200k...but I could be wrong!

Lets get whoring people! :p

[neoadorable]

slane i insist, as much as i'm cheering you on, 16K in three months is a lot. i think my best clip ever was 2.5K/month.

Alright, 3.9 mill GS and 190K achieves by end of the year midnight. don't forget we have a reduced holidays season so far, we need to play it conservative..

[Slane]

Assuming I can knock these games out in a few days and Gamefly continues to be quick, here's what I'm looking at of some fairly easy 1000's not to mention playing old games + new ones I/roommate purchase.

Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2008

Disney/Pixar's UP

Hannah the Movie

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

Jumper: Griffin's Story

Lost: Via Domus

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian

Fallout 3 (PC(still debating whether or not to purchase this))

All above can be done in under 5 hours (Fallout has PC codes taht don't affect achievement that make your more or less god). So that's 7 or 8k right there. And that would put be just about halfway. Now add in all the other games I'll be playing + finishing old ones + ones not listed above. I think I can do it.

[Remysaus]

Sounds like a lot of fun. :no:

[neoadorable]

hannah montana again?! well i should have known you're the kind of guy that'd get his money's worth out of gamefly...and i now understand your confidence. all the more power to you brah, however i have to say that's not organic gaming in my book. won't those games bore you?

Sure, but work bores me also. Yet I continue to work because of the goal work allows me to reach (money!). Playing triple-F titles always me to get closer to my goal of 50k, then I shall do it. And besides most of the games *should* only take 5 hours. So I can hopefully knock 'em all out in one or two sittings.

I think your just scared i'll pass you! :p

[neoadorable]

no, i'm really not, told you months ago i felt weird overtaking you - it was an unholy moment. the universe must be corrected and you need to be ahead for justice to be carried. besides, i'm heading overseas for work in a couple of weeks, so there will be little gaming in my near future.

[Ji@nBing]

Still playing nothing but NHL10. Picked up most of the achieves in Be A Pro mode. I'm tearing apart the league. 101 points in 30 games :p

Neo, you going back to BJ?

[neoadorable]

no my shundi, but i'll go for one muhahahaha. Not from you, that's digusting!

serious note: this job is in the mideast if anyone cares to know, six month assignment. can't say much more...

[Ji@nBing]

No idea what the means. Even after 9 years, my Mandarin is still rudimentary at best?:blush:: .

Congrats and good luck on the new job. Hope you're going to a safe place. I have an old highschool chum that's a merc in Iraq and Afghanistan. He has a lot of interesting stories to tell when he occasionally comes back to Canada. Doesn't sound too fun. Makes a crapton of money though.

[GameOverRob]

71k only 9 to go! :D

[neoadorable]

8K is a ways away...can you get there by Jan 1st?

jianbing, you know shundi, just means bro. the idea with these mideast jobs is making money and not staying too long. but i won't be a merc like your friend, it's enough if i say that! the location is safe and has quite a few amenities, plus a nice view of the gulf. i'm just worried about recreation. haven't worked in a few months and it'll be a tansition. plus, both gaming and drinking are an unknown quantity for me over there, so there's that.

Haha, actually I don't!! I know brother as xiong di or ge ge. The Chinese I know was taught to me by my ex, and I was always too lazy and complacent to study any at all, so my vocab is limited to what she decided to teach me :p.

Good to hear you're going to a safe place. You thinking of trying to bring your 360? I doubt you can buy them over there...

Edit: spelling mistakes.

[Remysaus]

Yeah, good luck over there Neo, should be a way to get a 360 over there. :p
