7:08pm: Having a cup of coffee. I need the boost.

7:09pm: I forgot to install Brothers in Arms HH JP so I'm doing that now.

8:47pm: Not bored yet, but thirsty. I gotta get more water. The cutscenes are still annoying the shit out of me

9:26pm: BiA HH JP froze during a cutscene more reason to hate them.

10:13pm: I might not make it to 240,000 due to 100 songs in sing it taking so damn long.

10:15pm: I have sing it set up for 5 songs. Chow time. Shrimp and brown rice. Will be watching fried green tomatoes with possum while I eat.

12:22am: Back to sing it HSM for the final achievement.

12:35am: What time is it? Summer time, it's our vacation. I think the tutorial is the most annoying thing.

12:40am: 1 achievement unlocked in Disney Sing it HSM worth 10 points. The game is done, so I can delete this piece of shit off my HDD

12:57am: Feeling a bit tired. Going to try out ski-doo now.

Where in America is Stallion83 Winner

I thought it was interesting to see how this person knew my whereabouts so I'll share his messages.



















Screw all your messages, you get your own post! Btw, Excellent choice for arcade titles, it's just to bad amazon doesn't have 'splosion man. You will get your Alien Hominid code today. :)

A day in the life

Tomorrow I will have a day long running blog of my achievement adventures and whatever else goes on. This will not be a typical day, this type of extreme gaming only happens a few times a year due to the exhausting and stressful nature. Follow along tomorrow if you want to. I'm not sure exactly when it will start. The night before the GSL playoffs is like a child's Christmas eve to me, so I'm sure that little voice in my head will say, "time to whore" when I know I should be sleeping instead.

Where in America is Stallion83 Winner

And the winner of the Arcade game is.....

Mammoth congrats to you. Choose wisely. :)

With the answer of Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Maybe you've visited pigeon forge or something? I'd like to know. A lot of you guys were extremely warm. How many of you picked up on the pool ball hint, 8 6 5? That's the area code of Pigeon Forge and several other counties in Tennessee. I'm just curious if anyone did since so many of you picked Knox county. I'm surprised nobody guessed a place that is not in the US.

The pool table clue that may have been a little tough.
















So we have 2 down 48 to go. A long long ways to go.

Look out for more videos and prizes in the near future. Keep a bedroom available also.

The MachiNe team makes the playoffs in H2H GSL

Console Heroes has been running a gamerscore league over the past 6 weeks. The MachiNe team is lucky enough to be in the thick of things which kicks off this weekend. Thursday through Sunday I should be scoring out of my mind. We go up against two other teams and the team with the most points squares off against a singular team from the other bracket in the finals. That would be held the following weekend. Hopefully we can make it all the way. There is no doubt that this will be a dog fight. It seems we've been the target all season and I don't see that changing. I will post the scorecards on here when it kicks off so you can follow the blood bath if you choose to do so.

I've been preparing by having a low dose of gaming, lots of water and bathing in methyl & butyl thiols (skunk juice). I recommend our competition do the same, especially the skunk juice part.

The MachiNe team is made up of myself, smrnov, tjayars, and A completionist.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 MP video

Excuse me while I wipe the drool from my mouth. I know what I will be doing this November. As if I didn't already know.

Where in America is Stallion83?

This time it's your turn to guess my whereabouts. I am looking for the correct City or County and State. The winner will receive a 800 MSP arcade game of their choice. EDIT** Any 800 point game ($10) off of amazon marketplace. Let me be clear, their will be only 1 winner. If you get the city and state right along with 10 others, those 10 people will be thrown into a random drawing.
ATTN: The challenge is up and a winner is already declared.

Please include your answer and gamertag in the comments. Only comments on this blog will be accepted. Good luck.

What's this all about? It's about me trying to unlocking a single achievement in all 50 States.

All your voices are belong to me

If you thought it was safe to send voice messages instead of text, think again. Your voice now belongs to me.

You may need crank up the volume a bit for these. If you turn it up loud enough you can hear Possum in the background on the chicken video.

Earlier today I finally hit the one third mark or as close as it gets. No .3 achievements to be had so it can't be precise. Luckily I have footage of my journey so far. Enjoy.















The music is from the price is right cliffhanger game if anyone was wondering.

Appetizer

While we wait for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Battlefield Bad Company 2, or the online shooter of your choice. Why not get a mini bite of online gaming with Battlefield 1943? At 15 bucks it has a good price point. Sure, it only has 3 maps with the 4th one unlocking once the community kills reaches 43 million (scroll down the page a little for the counter) The achievements overall are fairly easy to get. 100 online games played will take a good chunk of time since games last anywhere from 15-20 minutes. You are looking at around 33 hours to get the all achievements. A tasty appetizer while we wait for the the main course indeed.




UPDATE: Don't buy it yet, it is basically unplayable due to the lack of dedicated servers. Wait a couple of days.

Vissez Rosetta Stone j'ai reçu le français de Roues Chaud

Milk does a gamerscore league good

I am having a good time in the Console Heroes GSL. In past gamerscore leagues I only had new releases to play so it was quite the task to put up points at a high rate. This time around I have a backlog of games to choose from due to slow play since I hit 300,00. I have been sticking to my swiss cheese method and it has proven to much more enjoyable . Overall this GSL has been a lot less stressful and I will probably be doing it again in the future. Gamerscore leagues are only fun if you have something to milk.

That is what I have been focused on for the past 3 weeks. The league runs for another 5 weeks, that is if we make it to the final round. Go machiNes!

My GSL history: W-L
Console Heroes/h2hgsl-2-0
xbox360achievements.org-1-1

I think this will be the toughest one to win.

All your messages are belong to me

Ever wonder what it is like being my xbox live inbox? Wonder no more.

Ragingchickens3:You're my idol. Keep up the good work :)
2nd msg:Also, i meant to say this but i was a little nervous...well anyway, how much would i have to pay you to be able to keep you as a pet??? Not permanently of course, maybe just 5 or 6 years. I would be willig to pay big money. Get back to me. Thanks.

Stallion83: 5 to 6 years as a pet? Free! If you feed me beef jerky and let me drink vitamin water. I need direct TV with NBA league pass. You will also have to buy me new 360 releases every week.

crumbly man: how heavy are you in stone?

Stallion83: How did you know I went swimming in a pool full of cement? Well, my weight was 350 when I got out.

Evil Demon55:How pissed would you be if Microsoft made you start your GS over on the new console?

Stallion83: Very

I EAT P N U S:Can I have a pic of you so I can put your face on money? (Please put me on your Blog)

Stallion83: I'm not so sure about that. Your name scares the shit out of me.

Oubeijin:Have you seen "The Last Starfighter"? Do you think you'll ever be recruited by an alien race to save the galaxy? If so, my money is on you or Chuck Norris. All the best for 400K!
P.S. Can I write your speeches when you save the galaxy?

Stallion83: Stallion83>ChuckNorris. Chuck doesn't have the balls to play Hannah Montana

supereugene41: you are number one again but lakers still lost when you went to atlanta,
dallas mavs this year baby!!!



THE253sGREATEST: dude ur so addicted. god wolverine came out yesterday and you have all the achievements practically. dude its called a social life. go get one

Stallion83: I am. Don't lose to much sleep over what I do.

DT Mozthic:What did you have for dinner? And Well done on the 200 Retails completions, Love You XoxoxoX ( You are the reason I stay away from drugs =] )
2nd msg:Hey Man, I kinda copied the layout of your blog http://dtmozthic.blogspot.com/ hope your proud of my, Regards Stallion's Biggest Fan (Can i please have one of your old tshirts?)

Stallion83: Last night I had spaghetti . Thanks, and stay off them drugs kids. Congrats on the GSL win last week. You beat us up pretty good.

IYankee6I:Get a capture card and start streaming on Justin.tv. I think people will be able to track you better if you do that.

Stallion83: I don't know about that. I like to turn my 360 on with my E wenis and I wouldn't want anyone to get terribly jealous.

Davey the Rebel:Hey, I know you must get these all the time, You have the sickest legitimate gamerscore I have ever seen. I came in my pants when I saw 300k. Congratulations, and good luck on 1 million. I believe in you, and don't hack ever! :)

Stallion83: Thanks

Eagle3ye97: Hi, im sure you get tons of messages, but i was wondering what shooter,to you has the best achievements. I mean achievements that are actually fun and enjoyable to get, not just "Beat Level 1 on Veteran" or stuff like that. Thanks, and sweet GS

Stallion83: I'm not sure if there is a shooter that excludes achievements like " Beat Level 1 on Veteran".To answer your question, I like the gears achievements the most. 1 or 2.

Where in America is Stallion83?

I like to travel and go on trips so why not unlock achievements while I'm in different States? That's the plan, to unlock a single achievement in every single State in the USA. All 50 before I reach 1 million.

First state is Florida, Daytona Beach to be exact. This was just an experiment and a sudden idea. I didn't have my video camera with me so I had to use the digital camera therefore, the quality isn't that great.





The achievement I unlocked was from Need for Speed Undercover. The achievement was Bay Drive & Harbor.

So there you have it 1 down & 49 to go. Well 48 left with Tennessee included. I wish I would've got Hawaii last summer, I don't feel like flying that far again. :(

I may just be ringing your door bell soon so have some hot pockets and a sleeping bag ready.

Kobe Bryant will be on the cover of NBA2k10

I am a big fan of the 2k series, I have played every single one since it started out on the Dreamcast. NBA2k9 was great, I really liked how the game played but the team up mode (5 on 5 online) needs to be beefed up quite a bit. The ability to create a franchise with 5 people on your team would be awesome and a few tweaks here and there would make the mode amazing.

I am also a huge fan of Kobe Bryant so this is great news to me. Kobe's quest for his 4th NBA Championship starts tonight.

It was only 15 months ago when I shouted to the streets that Kobe was just as good if not better than Michael Jordan. Since that time Kobe won MVP of the league, won a gold medal, two NBA finals appearances, and a recorded breaking 61 point performance at Madison Square Garden. Not too shabby, but he still has work to do to become the greatest.



GO LA!!!!

Guinness World Record

A week or two ago I was contacted by Gaz, the records manager for The Guinness book of world records. Apparently I will be included in the 2010 gamers edition for having the highest gamerscore in the world. From the look of things, the 2010 book will be released sometime early next year. I'm not quite sure how big the feature will be, but it's pretty cool that Gaz contacted me about the whole thing. At first I thought it was some hoax so of course I did my research.

So needless to say I was very excited about receiving a record for something that I enjoy doing. I don't know how long I can hold the record, Never less, I am going to One Million. Maybe 1 million will be the Guinness world record in 2016.

Hopefully this will spawn other Guinness World Records as far as achievements and gamerscore goes. Most points in one day and so on.

I was going to wait until this thing released before I mentioned it, but that is so far off. I told a few about it when I was first contacted.

More on this record thing as it develops.

*UPDATE*  HERE is the link to the 2011 certificate I received.
