88k is a lucky number...

hopefully will be at 55K pretty soon, about time, too. congrats to mathachew for the rapid ascent!

[GameOverRob]

Why is it a lucky number?

[neoadorable]

88 is a lucky number...heh spent too much time in Asia. where's jianbing to back me up when i need him? anyway 8's a good number anywhere with influence from China, and the more 8's in a number...the better. some people say 8 ("ba" in most Chinese languages) sounds like the word for treasure ("bao") so it's lucky, but i think it's just coincidence and habit.

Final Fantasy XIII 1000'd. :)

Proudest 1000 for me.

[neoadorable]

that must have taken forever...

on a similar note, made 55K at long last.

[Slane]

that must have taken forever...

97 hours on my save. Not counting the playtime when I quit out w/o saving due to Traps not dropping.

[neoadorable]

that's like the longest game ever, no? 97 hours...jeez i thought Lost Odyssey was long.

[Slane]

that's like the longest game ever, no? 97 hours...jeez i thought Lost Odyssey was long.

Most of it was just grinding to get the proper catalyst's. The story itself only took about 55 hours. Then did the missions, then catalyst and gil grinding to level up/purchase all items.

Star Ocean is going to be a beast of a game to 1000. It's 250+ hours. :)

And I'll be completing Too Human tomorrow night. Finally found someone with the armor set that I can buy. :)

And whos going to be down for GoW2 boosting? Become a follower of (http://twitter.com/GearsViking) and however many followers he has divided by 500 is the going to be the number for xXP event held on next weekend. Right now it's at like 15x XP.

If he reaches 10k followers it'll be 20x XP. A match of KOTH boosting would then net ya 450,000XP meaning going from level 1 to level 100 would take 16 matches at around 11 hours. Defiently think I'll be calling out work a day or to to get snag this.

Too Human 1k'd. That brings me to 34 completed games (30 retail).

[neoadorable]

changing tracks a little - is there any overt reason i was removed from the leaderboard? PAAAAABBBBB!!!!

[Slane]

That's strange Neo. No idea why it would happen.

In achievement news. Only 3 or 4 years after originally playing it, finally beat the final boss of TMNT (it didn't glitch!) which brings me up to 58% completion rate and 35 completed games. :)

[neoadorable]

congrats - 58% is nice.

waiting for the board to update or something, otherwise it's really weird. myself and two others were just removed.

[Rookas]

Finally went through and played the last two campaigns on LFD2. Still have a lot of achievements to go in that game but I'm probably done with it, it's just boring to me. One of these days I'll play Red Dead. I really enjoy the campaign but I just haven't had time to give it the attention it deserves. It's been a busy summer but hopefully things calm down soon and I'll be able to game a little more.

[Mathachew Veteran]

Just hit 100% for Fallout 3 for the second time (first time was before any DLC came out), 20th retail completed. Also crossed 81% gamerscore completion.

[neoadorable]

hey Rook thanks for saying L4D2 is boring...i just picked it up! nice number there BTW with the round 57000. and matha doing round the 100 with Fallout 3...now that's dedication.

wanted to say a big thank you to PabUK for putting me back on the board where i am riding Rook's coattails to glory. we don't know why i was removed from the leaderboard to begin with :iiam:

[Guest]

I've got Crackdown 2 for the next couple of nights so I'm going to power through that.

[neoadorable]

on load from someone? why only two night? not going to be enough time.

[Guest]

Blockbuster have a promotional deal with T-Mobile over here - a game and a movie rental for ?5 (with soda, popcorn and sweets). For whatever reason though, you only get to keep the game for 2 nights rather than the standard week.

Good job I'm unemployed.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

:o

What happened to Apple?!

[neoadorable]

we seem to be losing more people on the leaderboard...we're now down to 239 members and counting...

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

^probably cause numbers have fallen in GH the past year

[neoadorable]

don't think that's the reason, there's some automatic glitch deleting accounts. it's very strange indeed.

[Slane]

Rolled 60k thanks to GoW2. Game is pretty damn good, I just hate 3rd person shooters. And, boosting is so mind-numbing boring. Thankfully 7 games tommorow and I'll be 100.

And looking for someone who plays live on PC and who is up for some quick(ish) boosting of MP achievements. Few hours for most of 'em then leaving us in a game, computers running all day while at work (roughly 20 hours needed). Any takers?

[neoadorable]

heh heh slane, you and your whacky schemes...congrats on the 60K!!!!

BTW i sat and read most of this thread from the very first post back in 2006...man the memories, i was weepy half the time. we seem to have misplaced a whole bunch of people...my friend Vykranth, PiracyX, good old Jianbing, of course DM and Sethos used to post here regularly too, especially the latter when he was still Michael...

I'm sure i'm forgetting a lot of people still - ThreeFive/Shotta is one that i was in close competition with when i joined but he just dropped out of the race and gaming overall. it's a shame, this is a nice place to come to, and we had some good people here. hope they come back!

[GameOverRob]

Hit 89 thousand thanks to Crackdown 2

[Guest]

19,000. Will be 20,000 by the end of next week.
