Just joined and jumped in at the number 4 spot!

Hey, that spot was mine! I was getting quite comfortable there. ;)

Actually, I've only just noticed how close everyone is from position #4 and onwards. Usually only 1-2k between scores. Better get achieving I guess!

[MightyJordan]

Damn, I've dropped down to 7th now. :( Looks like it's time to break out some of the old unfinished games! :D

[DR3AMxCATCHER]

All done with CoD4. Going to take my time with CoD5 game is insane!

[neoadorable]

good job underoath. COD5 MP takes a lot longer to clock than COD4...

don't know if i want to welcome you, robpears...you knocked us all down a notch! i think Vykranth will be coming round looking for you.

rookas: good one! glad we hooked up, next "chance" we get let's do it again.

EDIT: where the hell is Slane?

[Vykranth]

Me, going for the 4th place? With 17000 points between 4th and 14th? Why, sure, if I win the Euromillions lotery this week and play non-stop for the next six months.

Nah, honestly, I am trying to cut down my X360 gaming a little bit: I have played way too much the last week-ends and I realize that I did not enjoy the games and I did not get enough rest for the work days.

I'll be happy to keep the 14th, especially since Mr. RatherLargeBear seems to be rather largerly keen on taking it back. I am sure that the 13th brought me bad luck.

Working my ass off = brand new 42 inch HD TV :)

School Finals = sleeping and not enjoying anything other than WoW

But in all seriousness, got my new bed, my new TV Stand with a new TV, with a new dresser and night stand and a new couch. All in well over 6K worth of ****, but I'm pimpin! Now only to start buying/renting some games to test this TV out!

[neoadorable]

well the first rule of gaming is enjoyment and meaning, so if you find yourself on the verge of burning out...give it a rest. no problem there, Vyk. take it easy for a while, i'm sure you'll be back stronger than ever. besides, you can always sneak a couple hours here and there, those sessions are also fun.

slane, good hearing from you. congrats on all the cool new stuff, but indeed, what's that kind of TV without some games to play on it? keep us posted, literally.

[neoadorable]

well congrats to Vyk on the 34K...now someone congrat me on 27K dammit.

[Vykranth]

Since it's the festive time: congratulations for Robpears for the 51K, the newest member of the Triple 10K club: UND3RxOATH and Neoadorable for the 27K. That's 90% of the long path to 30000.

The 34K I got is just Left 4 Dead being nice with my friends and me.

[DR3AMxCATCHER]

Just hit 30,200 or something yesterday :). More Call of Duty 5 achievements coming soon.

[Rookas]

All these games have been good for my gamerscore. I flew from 38K to 40K and now I'm over 41. I've still got a ton of points to get. I've still got a ways to go in Dead Space and Far Cry 2, I haven't touched the new Tomb Raider yet other than watching the opening cinematics. I decided to go for the full 1000 in Force Unleashed since it's such an easy game, although the Sith Lord difficulty is proving to be, well, difficult.

[neoadorable]

wow nice going rookas, 41K! and yes, the holidays are here, so we can be officially nice to each other heheh. so well done to everyone, you too underoath.

i doubt i'll be making 30K by the end of the year. actually the current batch of games is not that good for points, i can't get too many out of them, but they're all great fun - this is definitely a good time for gaming.

[pepsihabbit]

wtf! 122. This is not acceptable lol

[neoadorable]

time to get cracking - load up some games my friend and welcome to the madhouse.

[DR3AMxCATCHER]

wtf! 122. This is not acceptable lol

When I say this please don't get upset.

ACHIEVEMENTS ARE A DANGEROUS THING TO YOUR HEALTH

[yeZi]

WAHHHHH THIS IS PATHETIC

... I really need to play more.

[LightIdea]

Thank gawd I got off the achievement crack.

But now the PS3 has damn trophy support, but I'm not letting it get to me :p

Achievements >> Trophies :shifty:

[neoadorable]

don't think you can get addicted to achieves, they're just great fun and an aid to proper gaming. i mean they help you figure out what to do in a game, set objectives and so on. sure people can get a bit obssessive, but it's not like they're drowning in a mound of blow. way i see it, if you ever feel upset about not getting an achieve, or if your objective is to get 100% in games, then maybe cool it a little. not wanting to boast, but i think my attitude towards the issue is correct - i enjoy achieves, but only get the ones that come while playing the game naturally, and then the ones i believe doable. look at my unlock rate - well under 40%. only have 100% in two titles, and don't mind one bit. i've played like 120 games on the 360, yet my score in just 27K...some say pathetic, i say balanced!

[neoadorable]

are you guys noticing this? we've grown to 231 members and are well on our way to 3 mil points and 150K achieves by Jan 1st. Good job - keep it up.

[DR3AMxCATCHER]

Well I've been adding on with Rock Band 2 and trying some Need For Speed: Carbon. Still are not done with CoD5 (not in the mood for it).

[Mathachew Veteran]

150K achievements? Nah, not by Jan 1st, unless we see more new members in the group.

[DR3AMxCATCHER]

Need For Speed: Carbon = stupid for achievements, hate having it on my games played list to be honest.

[neoadorable]

had entertained buying need for speed undercover...why is it bad?

maybe 150K is a bit optimistic then, but let's give it a shot. i'll be at the break room sipping on the Kool Aid.

[DR3AMxCATCHER]

Carbon is just dumb not even enjoyable. I loved the NFS: Underground (played that all the time on the PS2.

Wish it could be like that.
