It's almost been two weeks since I updated this challenge which is going to make putting this together an absolute nightmare. The thing that is rough with this challenge and keeping the blog up to date; I'm generally worn out the day after a challenge day because I am pushing myself more than usual, especially on the back to back days. I'm not trying to match Brian Scalabrine in points scored every other night; I'm matching the leagues leading scorer. This challenge is about twice as hard as I initially imagined.
Friday 2/10: Challenge day - At least 27 achievements needed
Finished up Toy Soldiers: Boot Camp on WP7 adding 10 achievements for 200 gamerscore to my score. It's nothing more than an easy gamerscore game in my eyes. It has very little substance and I don't even know how it got a green light. I was expecting much more from a title that is already established on XBLA.
BulletAsylum was a fun little title on WP7, perhaps nothing groundbreaking, but it plays well and looks nice. I unlocked 11 achievements for 165 gamerscore in that.
I unlocked 21 achievements for 400 gamerscore in Ace Combat: Assault Horizon. Most of the achievements in this game are unmissable and come with natural story progression. It's refreshing not having to blow up a certain number of planes or shoot a certain number of bullets, or dropping a certain amount of flares. Although, there are some multiplayer achievements that appear to take some time to get. It's decent but they are on the right path to making a really good flight game down the road with a few tweaks.
3 achievements for 135 gamerscore in Family feud: 2012 Edition
Total for day 20: 45 achievements - 900 gamerscore
Day 21-
Kobe scored 34 points against the Knicks The day I became a believer in the Linsanity hype. The kid can play.
Saturday 2/11: Challenge day - At least 34 achievements needed
2 achievements for 35 gamersocre in BulletAsylum
5 achievements for 100 gamersocre in Ace Combat:
12 achievements for 160 gamersocre in Ninety-Nine Nights II/EU
8 achievements for 100 gamerscore in The Price is Right Decades
8 achievements for 75 gamerscore in Splinter Cell: Conviction for the WP7
Total for day 21: 35 achievements - 470 gamerscore
Monday 2/13: Challenge day - At least 27 achievements needed
11 achievements for 345 gamerscore in LOTR: War in the North. Excellent co-op game. Go grab some buddies and chop it up.
17 achievements for 175 gamerscore in BattleWagon. There was a patch to fix the broken achievements so I decided to fire it up because of that but....The patch didn't fix it for me because the final achievement I need is glitched. I like completing games as much as everyone else but this type of crap always puts a bad taste in my mouth and turns me away from that aspect. It's been that way for years now. A lot of games are worth a try, even the crappiest of games, but when you're there for the end reward and it never comes, it's frustrating. I guess I could just suck it up, delete the save, and try from the top. But there's a chance I'll get the same end result and I would rather not waste another second of my time on such a thing.
Total for day 22: 28 achievements - 520 gamerscore
Saturday 2/18: Challenge Day - At least 36 achievements needed
I was sweating this day more so than any other during this challenge. I just got it in my head that I would fail.
4 achievements for 40 gamerscore in PDC Darts: pro Tour
1 achievement for 5 gamerscore in NFS: Hot Pursuit
2 achievements for 10 gamerscore in UFC Undisputed 3
5 achievements for 30 gamersocre in Chickens Can't Fly
23 achievements for 535 gamerscore In Grand Slam Tennis 2. A much better tennis offering than what I expected. The career mode gets really boring after a few seasons and the commentary is just so very repetitive that it makes you want to get all up in John McEnroe's face and yell and scream at him just like he did back in his heyday.
2 achievements for 25 gamerscore in The Price is Right Decades
Total for day 24: 37 achievements - 645 gamerscore
Monday: Challenge Day- At least 32 achievements needed
3 achievements for 30 gamerscore in Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. What a sweet ass RPG! I didn't get as much time as I wanted in on this, but I was highly impressed with what I did play.
3 achievements for 75 gamerscore in Grand Slam Tennis 2.
6 achievements for 50 gamerscore in Swarm. A strange little arcade title that recently got reduced to 400 microsoft points. It's so-so.
5 achievements for 35 gamerscore in NBA Jam: On Fire Edition. I think it's much more polished than the retail version. More moves, more dunks, and slicker graphics. I wasn't expecting many changes at all, but this version is just flat out better in every single way. I hear it's long to get all the achievements on and chances are high that I will find out for myself. This one lives up the the name because It's on FIRE!
15 achievements for 350 gamerscore in The Price is Right.
Tuesday: Challenge Day - At least 28 achievements needed
8 achievements for 255 gamerscore The Price is Right
2 achievements for 65 gamerscore in UFC3
5 achievements for 65 gamerscore in Syndicate. It's a quite good and refreshing FPS. That's expected since StarBreeze is at the helm.. I want to get more one on one time with it before giving a concrete opinion, but so far, I don't have many complaints. It won't blow your mind, but it won't turn you away. I'm just crossing my fingers for good co-op missions because the potential is there. Hopefully I get to try that later on today.
10 achievements for 100 gamerscore in Saints Row: The Third. That's all from the newest DLC that dropped yesterday, Gangsters in Space. The missions are based around making a movie so your character is placed into various sets. The director is always in your ear trying to get you to act out his vision to perfection, you know, the cliche movie director that has to be perfect and gets snippy with everyone not following his lead. Once you're in place for the "movie" to be shot,the visuals change to give you that grainy movie effect and epic movie music starts blaring. It's quite satisfying and funny side story. But...just like most downloaded able content, it's just too damn short. It will only last an hour...if you're lucky. I enjoyed it more than the last DLC, Genkibow VII, a lot more in fact.
5 achievements for 30 gamerscore in Junk Fu
Total for day 26: 30 achievements - 515 gamerscore.
I get a little break on Wednesday then another back to back on Thursday and Friday. Then a small break over the weekend since it's the AllStar Showcase for the NBA. I'm very happy about that because it gives me time to focus on getting my newest video done. That's going to take me a while since I have almost a terabyte of video footage to sift through. I'm aiming to have that completed as well as getting to 700,000 gamerscore sometime next week. That's the plan anyway.
Stallion83, Pigimus Prime, StophJ, Omega Deez, and Phatal1ty experiment with a new format this week and will be adding a few more things into the fold next week. Please leave us feedback in the comments below if you have any. Thanks.
Gaming Highlights and low-lights of the week: UFC Undisputed 3, Lord of The Rings: War in the North, Grand Slam Tennis 2, Warp, Chickens Can't Fly, and Rock Revolution

Q: I didnt know it would actually be true but your my inspiration on xbox ive seen profiles with 1,000,000 gamerscore but they were modders but im glad your not one but you got it fair A: I definitely earned everything on my own so I do take great pride in what I have accomplished.
Q:I love you i want kids from/with you we both are mens but someone of us can make a transformation to a women :D I hope you are love me 2. :D :D A: Friends don't let friends drink and text.
Q: Hey whats up, was wondering if you still have fear 1 and 2. Im trying to gather people for online gameplay. A: drinking coffee, typing a message to you. I still have Fear 1.
Q: love your video! A: Thank you! You're gamepic is from Saints Row 3 so I guess you are referring to Some Asshole Is In My Pool
Q: seriously is one of the best achievements and hardest and should only be EARNED. from what you said on ign you didnt earn it. you may be a sad role model for some but grinding isnt earning. you have no sense of shame. you definitely havent EARNED the most achievements yet you clearly cash in on the idea that you do. enjoy your boosting of hard achievements and having fun when playing my pretty pony or hannah montana for those easy 1000s. enjoy getting to 1,000,000. most of those points are bs many people get to "fame" with a trail of lies. im going to keep playing games and getting achievements i earn, and accept some are hard, but i wont cheat to get them. stallion83= achievement bullshitter A: Dear Mr. Salty,
Seriously 3.0 is one of the longest achievements, not the hardest. Grinding isn't earning? I guess our definitions of grinding are far different. To me it's doing a lot of extra and unnecessary tasks that you probably don't want to do. Yes, I only have this score because of all the games available. Anyway you want to slice and dice it I would still be #1 for gamerscore. I have my goal and you have your opinion.
Q: Just wanna say that its inspiring to see how hard you work towards hitting that million mark! Despite all the hate you get you trudge along. im sure i dont just speak for myself when i say this: You make me proud to be a gamer! Much respect Ray, Good luck A: *takes a bow* Thanks for the words, it really means a lot.
Q: you have cool videos on youtube what is the stand of your gamerscore? A: Thanks! I would have a ton more if I had the time. Hopefully there will be a new one soon. Right now I'm at around 693,000
Q: Hey Stal,
Just letting ya know to keep up the good work on the podcast, just can't get enough of it and keep working on getting those achievements! Have loved all of them thus far!
Thanks,
Andrew
A: Thanks a lot for checking it out.
Q: so when did you begin getting achievements? you know, becoming a loser?
A: so when did you begin getting jealous of other people? you know, becoming a cunt?
Q: wow you have a lot of games, i was wondering if you wanna be friends, i would like to talk you :p
A: Yeah, lets be friends!
Q: It stings when I pee...
O.o
Your move Stallion. A: Unoriginal bastard!
Q: holy shit your gamerscore :D lol. it would be cool if you wrote back
A: Consider yourself written back.
Q: Can not get better than you "ROCK ON"!!
A: *breaks shit*
Q: Wow 1 million wish I was as good as you.
A: not there yet, but getting closer every single day.
Q: how do u get that high of a gamerscose
A: Playing games and being the most dedicated gamer on planet earth for the last 6+ years. I had a dream, that one day all gamers would be treated equally. That our hobby would be belittled no more because of the stereotypes cast upon us decades ago. I'm here to smash that in the face.
Q: 666,666k that would be bad ass
A: done did it.
Q: CHANGE YOUR GAMER PIC!!!!! lol jk :)
A: Survey Says: Hell no.
Q: I really hope you reach your goal, I thought I was good at getting achievements, you know what you're doing!
A: Thank you. I aim to.
Q: ride me
A: YEEHAW! I gotta warn you, my buck is worse than my bite so be prepared to hit the ground.
Q: hey dude i seen u on youtube and wanted to check out legit gamerscore and your gamerscore is actually really high i only had an xbox for a year now if u have the chance check out my gamerscore keep it going man u can make it to 1,000,000 gamerscore
A: Cool. I'm glad you found me. Lets hug.
Q: you are the big boss A: Okay...the things complete strangers say.
Q: PLEASE INVITE ME TO THE ZOMBIES A: Maybe if I knew what you were talking about. Walking dead perhaps? It aired new on Sunday. But no, you can not came over next week and watch it with me unless you bring beef jerky. A Full bag and you can't have any. My zombies, my rules.
Q: nice score if its legit A: nice attempt at a compliment.
Q: your so awesome :3 A: as are you
Q: DUDE YOU ARE GOD. A: It took me 6 years to create a number someone could write down in a second. God created the world in 7 days. Not a good comparison.
Q: Hey Stallion83 i am a big fun of you and i want to be friends and i want if u are going to accept me as friend(probably not :_( )to help me boost my gamerscore and also have fun!!!PLZ accept!!! A: I would accept every request that came my way if the list was unlimited, but it's not. Microsoft doesn't want us to be friends.
Q: When I was hating on you guys it was a total misunderstanding. Xbox LIVE gamer Shuckey would talk about Stallion83 saying that Stallion83 carefully hacks his gamerscore and at the time I didn`t know he was a lieing piece of shit.
Now that I know about Shuckeys past (I googled Shuckey), his lies, and his bullshit I don`t hate you guys anymore. I will help you guys with whatever achievements you need if I have that game.
Now I know that Stallion83 does not hack his achievements. A: About time you get your head out of your ass. I don't hate you or anything, but stop being so naive in the future and think for yourself before you speak.
Q: Hi, I recently just found out that you were the Guinness World Record Holder for most GS. Wow. I myself am a major achievement freak. I started my profile in August 2011 and am already at 29578. I may not ever reach the point where you are at...
...but you are truly a hero for a Achievement freak like me. I would appreciate if you accepted my friend request. Thanks. A: That's awesome dude! Keep it up.
Q: can u post a vid on youtube plz coz im susbscribed and want to see an new vid thanks
A: patience my child. It should be very soon.
Q: i saw your website it's cool A: Thanks. I think it needs some work.
Q: what gamerscore are you at now? A: 693,411
Q: Hey, u don't know me but good luck getting to 1 million gamerscore, hope u get there. Also just wandering what rank are u in halo: reach A: Thanks. Not really sure.
Q: Heeeeeey friend. You should reply so I can compare games with you A: I guess this messages helps you out about 0%.
Q: Nice work on achieving such a high Gamerscore! Well done. You should also be proud of yourself for making it into the Guinness Book of Records. :) A: I am. I dust it every hour. I rock it to sleep every night like an infant. I can't wait until I'm an old man so I can whip it out and show the youngsters what their grandpa did. I can hear it now"stop boring us old man."
Q: you almost there!!!!! A: I still have a long ways to go.
Q: Will you mod my gamerscore to 1 million I saw your video on youtube and im like damn thats a lot of gamerscore! A: All natural, baby.
Q: going for the gamerscore gold go 4 it A: Platinum!
Q: how long have u been having your account
how long did it take A: Since 2003. It took me over 6 years now for the gamerscore.
Q: YOU HAVE NO LIFE A: I'd like to hear all about your amazing one. Do share.
Q: My hero A: I could never be your Enrique.
Q: Wow nice you've increased 100,000 gamerscore since I've last looked! (monstamaniac98) yep I got banned A: Bad boy. Oh well. Walk the straight and narrow, my friend.
Q: Yeah, so I'll start with an introduction, I'm rooting for you to be the first to get 1M gamerscore. And now that I'm introduced, I just gotta say, being one of the top people on my list it's weird to think that someone out there has about 10x as many
Stupid 250 limit. points as me. I just want to let you know, that watching you achieve this goal has given me a new goal in life. To also break 1M points at some point. Unoriginal, I know, but still. Good luck and one day I'll be up there in my score A: Good luck man. You'll need it.
Q: Good luck on getting 1mil. If only I had 650k gamerscore lol A: Thanks sir.
Q: JAG TYCKER ATT DU ÄR JÄTTEDUKTIG A:.....
Q: Raymond how u have so many achievements for japanese/chinese games do u speak there language A: I do not. A lot of them are actually in English. Some of the story book ones have guides that a fellow makes who does speak the language. He is a good man for making them.
Q: Hi mother how are you? A: I think that's the first time someone has ever called me mother. A new dis?
Q: Hey, I'm sure you get this a shitload but best of luck on the quest to a million, and is there going to be a new blog post today? A: yeah, this one. And your it it!
Q: hi can u talk A: No.
Q: nigga fuck you face is how do you get 600,000?? I am Brazilian and I saw a site here and this guy turned his fan .. add me please A: I'm not even sure on this one, but please, stay the hell away from my face.
Q: i know ur inbox gets blown up constantly but im an aspiring achievement hunter and if there was any way u could clear a spot on ur friends list so i can keep up with ur journey and get achievement ideas id appreciate it man. thanks A: If all of us could only join hands and go to the Microsoft headquarters and raise hell outside with Picket signs. That might actually get something accomplished, but only come if you have a high tolerance to pepper spray
Q: Hey man, I have wanted to start going for a high gamerscore, but I get kind of tired of it, do you have anything to say to keep me motivated? A: WIN! I don't know if I could say something to get you motivated. I'm motivated by anything I do in life, not just gaming. I think you either have it, or you don't.
Q: do you whant 10th free? on all cod? A: I could care less about that. That's baby shit compared to what I'm trying to accomplish. Every dog has taken a piss on that territory.
Q: Hey man, love your videos! Keep going!! 1 million GS will be epic bro. Gratz again A: Thanks man! I really wish I could do them all the time.
Q: please dont delete the friend request i sent you if dont know i just saw you on television Good Game:sp about your record breaking gamerscore i want to add you also i have been supporting you on your journey plaese andd me i will be online tomorrow A: It never came through. None of them do. I would gladly accept it if it did come through.
Q: got any words of advise becase ima still stuck at prissy ass 10,000 and i been playing for almost a year and oh your my role model A: I'm not sure man. Do what makes you happy.

Sorry for being late again with posting the results from this challenge. If you have not been keeping up with it, you can find out what it's all about HERE
Sunday: Challenge Day - At least 26 achievements needed
It was Superbowl Sunday so I wasn't up for anything long or taxing. I knocked most of the achievements I needed out before my head hit the pillow for the night in the AM.
I unlocked 20 achievements for 440 gamerscore in Steins; gate: Hiyoku-Renri no Darling.
I unlocked 6 achievements for 80 gamerscore in Ninety- Nine Nights II/EU. This game stacks about 5 different times. Not sure I could stomach it that many times, but I did enjoy my first go around. I thought it was slightly underrated in the grand scheme of things.
I really enjoyed the Superbowl this year, it was a pretty amazing game to watch. I'm also one who actually likes the expensive commercials on display as it tends to keep everyone involved in the spectacle that is Superbowl Sunday. Believe it or not, but most chicks are not really into football. However, some do like watching the commercials. I believe it keeps Superbowl parties from being complete sausage fests. Not judging you if that is your type of thing. Girls just generally smell a lot better than dudes...most of the time. So it's good to have them around as well. Speaking of sausages; make sure you listen to the next episode of the Gamerscore Popcast. One of my favorite songs Omega has made thus far will make it's debut.
The ratings for the Superbowl turned out to be the highest ever in American TV history. Not surprising at all. I personally think they should make the Superbowl a best of 3 series. Talk about a money making machine that would be.
Total for day 18: 26 achievemets - 520 gamerscore
Day 19-
Kobe scored 28 points against the 76'ers on Monday to pass Shaq on the NBA All-time scoring list which puts him at 5th all-time. I personally believe he will take the top spot in about 5 years.
Tuesday: Challenge Day - At least 28 achievements needed
The Darkness II commanded the majority of my attention for the day. I was hooked and focused in on it until completion on Wednesday. I would give it a solid 8. I loved every minute of the story even though it was on the short side. The gameplay is just flat out fun and over the top gruesome gore never hurts. The co-op mode was a slight disappointment, but it's still light years ahead of the crappy multiplayer that was packaged in with the original Darkness. Overall, I was thrilled with this game as a form of entertainment and an achievement game. The full thousand should take anywhere from 10 to 12 hours. It's easily the best new game I've played since November. I know that isn't saying a whole hell of a lot, but I think it's worthy of your time. I unlocked 18 achievements for 265 gamerscore.
I unlocked 5 achievements for 30 gamerscore in SoulCalibur V.
3 achievements for 80 gamerscore in Kinect Sports
7 achievements for 240 gamerscore in Family Fued: 2012 Edition
Total for day 19: 33 achievements - 615 gamerscore
Wednesday: Off day
Finished off the rest of the achievements in The Darkness 2.
Played a ton of Family Feud.
Another back to back challenge day on Friday and Saturday since Kobe and the Lakers play tonight and Friday. Almost 1/3 done with this challenge if there is no playoff run. 60 game regular season (I started 6 games in) and whatever happens in the playoffs. I think I can manage to keep it going until the very end. I would say this challenge has been a tremendous help in boosting my score, the sole purpose it was even conceived.
