I'm getting a tad greedy and going over the needed achievement amounts the last couple of days, watch it come back to bite me.


I was just thinking how tough it's going to be to get 600,00 by the end of June. I'll need to really pour it on over the next two weeks for that to become a reality. I will more than likely fail, but not by a lot. If I can pull it off, it will be my quickest 100,000 yet, which is hard to believe.

It felt like I was doing more but still not bad for 20 days. I guess the majority of that was done over the last 10. If I can keep leapfrog going for another 20, my gamerscore should see a great jump.

Gaming moment of the day: Master Croc meditating in Kung Fu Panda 2. It's not everyday you see a crocodile trying to find its center.

I'm still trying to capture what I did during my first leapfrog challenge, I was on a roll then and it was short lived but rewarding. I was sleeping very little then and I think that was the biggest difference. This leapfrog challenge is more like a long burn and if I can keep the momentum going, I should get to 600,000 before the end of June.

I have the 29 achievements that are required for day 20 already wrapped up. Maybe I should take this time to whip out some L.A. Noire or perhaps a nap.

I'm wearing down a little and getting old man grumpy. I can no longer stay in cruise control.  I'm still working on getting the 28 achievements needed for tomorrow, but with only 90 minutes left and about 5 achievements shy at the moment. I should get it done, but I'm on the clock again soon. NO freaking way Jack Bauer did all that stuff in a 24 hour period....he must hack or gamesave his day.

I really enjoyed my time with Virtua Tennis 4 (I love tennis games) but decided to put it on the back burner for now because I have other fish to fry. It's not a short game to fully complete, easily 20 plus hours. But like hundreds of other games, I could go back and get it done pretty quick when the time is right.

Lego Pirates is quality, one of the better Lego games for sure because it's slightly different. If you like the Lego games, Pirates will not disappoint.


Leapfrog is going well and I'm playing a ton more than I normally would. For some reason doing the leapfrog keeps me on track. But over 20 achievements a day for an extended stretch can take its toll on me. I may need to use one of my 7 get out of jail free cards (a day break or a day failed depending on how you look at it) towards the weekend so I can get a tiny chance to breathe.

End of the world tour mode in Virtua Tennis 4, the only end of the world happenings from last week. Harold Camping, the dude that predicted the beginning of the end on May 21, 2011, has a bright future as a weather man.

L.A. Noire is easily the game of the year so far. I love how they included real life actors, makes it more authentic. The graphics as a whole aren't the greatest, but the facial mo cap is unbelievable, making it a cinematic experience. Finally some cut-scenes worth watching, amazing stuff!

Where In America is Stallion83? South Carolina


Where in America is Stallion83? is my goal to unlock a single Xbox LIVE achievement in all 50 US states.

These videos are kind of afterthoughts because I'm on vacation and doing them because I happen to be in a different state. Not exactly the way I envisioned it, no planning or production, but that would take much more time and resources. I want to physically go into gamer's houses, play on their setup's, check out their gaming collection's, and catch that all on video. And of course taint their humble abode by popping an achievement.

Or the obvious which would be to hand out various clues to make it like a treasure hunt and the first person to guess what state I'm in gets something cool.

I'm working on it and hopefully I can have something lined up for the next state I do.

So that's 3 states down. Tennessee, South Carolina, and Florida. Only 47 to go! Which will only take me 47 more years at the rate I'm going. :)

The newest Harry Potter game is very miss for me. I understand the need to get away from the hogwarts setting, but the gameplay is just awful. It's like a third person spell casting game that mimics third person shooters. It features cover and left trigger zoom, dare I say it, Gears of Potter. Casting spells on dudes overdressed, who are also holding sticks, is complete fail. I like the previous versions better.

When I'm resorting to leapfrog pictures that feature Mikey Mouse, you know I'm reaching. Btw, Goofy looks a little too excited in my estimation.
