7:22PM -- Putting in Death smiles 2. Not sure what I'm trying to do.

7:13PM -- Had a banana, broccoli, and a granola bar. Very strange combination, I'm aware. I should have mixed it all up like Frank West then puked on my cat. Payback is a bitch.

7:02PM -- Friend list possibly being upped to 1,000? That's a surprise. All the facebook friends that posted in that discussion thread are taken care of. :)I was thinking like a 100 jump at the most.

5:44PM -- I didn't expect that, hit the jack pot while I was on the ground doing sit ups.

1:28PM -- Anybody wanna come over and chop up 10gigs of video? I'll give all the V8 your heart desires.

1:14PM -- All fueled up. Ate Turkey on wheat, Strawberry & banana Yogurt, and had a V8. More my sims, busting out the ipod, rocky playlist.

1:04PM -- (1) for (50) in Mysims. Getting something to eat, then I have to hit it. 890 away for 500k.

12:46PM -- (2) for (45) in Mysims. Total of 12 achievements for the day. Still need 31 more.Yikes.

12:33PM -- Going to brush my teeth.

12:31PM -- (1) for (15GS) in Mysims. This game makes me want to play Starfox. I've recorded well over 10gigs of video.

12:04PM -- My damn cat keeps drinking my water.

11:58AM -- (3) for (60GS) in Mysims. I might be in trouble for leapfrog. I have to do better.

10:55AM -- Now I can get back on the horse. I w talking to Possum for a bit and made a new post. Back to gaming now.

9:41AM -- Gotta get back on the horse, still have a long way to go. More SkyHeroes.

Once you pop you can't stop

9:21AM -- (2) for (35GS) In Mysims. 20,000 achievements popped!

9:08AM -- (2) for (40GS) In mysims skyheroes. 2 more until 20,000.

8:09AM -- (1) for (15GS) in MOH. Capturing the achievements for now, may not do that for long since I can't play in HD. I hope the other one gets here soon.

7:54AM -- Popping in MOH.

7:41AM -- 6 achievements needed for 20,000 total. 43 to keep the achievement leapfrog going. 1,170 gamerscore until half a million. Three birds, one Xbox.

7:29AM -- Kobe Bryant has looked like dog crap in this pre-season. I know he is coming off knee surgery and all. Still, what he did with legitimate injuries in the play-offs last season is greater than a single flu game.

7:25AM -- Finished that up. Drinking my coffee, watching sports center.

6:49AM -- Up and about. Going to make the usual pot pot of coffee. Doing yesterdays achievement bounty in the mean time.

Once You Pop You Can't Stop 20,000 Achievements popped!

 Some numbers

If you stretch the achievement tiles out one by one you get almost 1/4 of a mile.

Since the first pop, (xbox 360 launch) I've averaged 11.2 PPD (pops per day)

Now I just need to get my hands on a sweet bow tie to do by boy Orville right.

A Day In The Life

A day long running blog that may go until I reach 500,000. Refresh for latest updates.

11:52PM -- I will probably be live blogging again tomorrow.. 6 away from 20,000 achievements. Hopefully I can hit 500,000 too.

11:39PM -- I have some work ahead of me to get that up to snuff. Wasn't wide screen, had no audio. Still need to tinker quite a bit.

10:54PM  -- The video quality looks decent, streaming quality I don't know. Tips and tricks needed. I already feel naked.... Stallion83TV

10:28PM -- Testing live stream.

10:18PM -- Messing with software now. This card won't allow me to play in HD, which sucks ass, but the one that should be here anytime will.


9:43PM -- Moved everything around...installing software to the computer, then I will need to rearrange some 360's. 

8:55PM -- Watching some of the Miami Heat preseason game while I move this crap.

8:50PM -- (4) for (65GS) In Mysims skyheroes. I think that puts me right at 42 achievements for the day. Time to move a bunch of stuff around.

8:08PM -- None of those achievements look very quick. Putting in Skyheroes.

7:55PM -- This system update is taking forever. I think it's finally finished...maybe not, black screen. errrr

7:48PM -- System update in progress. I was about to install Green Day: Rock Band. Got myself a V8.

7:41PM -- I guess I better pop those last 4 before I start moving crap around. 

7:30PM -- Back! Got everything I needed. Now I have a huge pile of cables. I think I'll have to move the computer closer to the TV. The laptop isn't running so well.

6:17PM -- Forgot that i need a few wire splitters for this capture card...heading to radio shack.

5:58PM -- Just did a recount 4 more until 42. Playing MOH for sure.

5:53PM -- (4) for (60GS) in Mysims Skyheroes. I think that's 5 to go. Popping in MOH to play some MP.

5:22PM -- Had boneless skinless Pink salmon, broccoli. cauliflower, and a little bit of white grape juice. And of course more water. Firing my system back up, I'll play either MOH online or more skyheroes.  

5:09PM -- I didn't drop the soap. Finding something to eat then back to the 360.

4:40PM -- Okay, all done with that. Going to play with Ms mittens for a bit then take a shower.

4:19PM -- Did curls, hammer curls, and lunges. Next up is push-ups and sit-ups. If you want to start working out, just go for it. Worry about what you eat after, but you will have to change your eating habits also. If you want to see results, it takes a combination of both.

4:03PM -- Started off with some bench press, not sure what else I'll do.

3:44PM -- (1) for (15GS) in SkyHeroes. 9 to go for the day, going to exercise. 

3:34PM -- I had possum stop by Best Buy on her way home to get a capture card. The one I ordered two weeks ago still hasn't arrived. It's not near as good as the one I ordered, but it will have to do for now. I will be streaming live soon (if my bandwidth can hold up) will also be making videos of how to get achievements. I still have to tinker with everything, but I plan to have video of every pop from 500,000 to 1,000,000.

3:04PM -- Need a jolt of energy. I was going to run at the park but possum isn't feel so hot. Probably going to just work out a little then. I'll do that after I pop a few more in sky heroes. 

2:56PM -- (3) for (30GS) in SkyHeroes. It's races and dogfights, think mario kart but with planes. Diddy Kong racing.

2:19PM -- (4) for (65GS). This game seems like it will be pretty easy for gamerscore. I won't be hitting 500,000 today, more than likely it will be tomorrow.


1:55PM -- (1) for (10GS) In Mysims SkyHeroes. It really doesn't seem that bad, looks like and feels like an arcade game. But that stupid gibberish talk is really annoying. 

1:35PM -- I hate talking on the phone. Going to floss and brush my teeth. Then load up Mysims SkyHeroes to unlock a few, then I have a date with Omega Deez........MOH MP.

1:25PM -- Had a turkey on wheat sandwich, small can of V8 juice, and a banana.Took a vitamin (centrum) Going to make a few phone calls.

1:11PM -- Gotta get something to eat. Not sure what I will play next, I do want to play some MOH MP later on.

1:08PM -- 24 down, 18 to go if I want to keep the leapfrog going.

1:06PM -- I don't think I've mentioned water drinking. If you've followed a day in the life before you know I drink a lot of water, still the same.

12:59PM -- (5) for (165GS) MOH Single Player done, I missed one level specific achievement. I liked it, FPS fans should enjoy it also, just too dang short. I really like the way night vision looks. Comparing MOH hard to COD veteran. COD = King of the Jungle MOH = pussy cat.

12:26PM -- (4) for (60GS) The stealth mission, mission 9 I believe, was pretty dang good. But not as good as the Call of Duty stealth missions. Only 1 mission left.

11:59AM -- Second to last mission seems like a stealth one. I just silently slit a throat wide open.


11:54AM -- (2) for (30GS). Gunplay is on par with Bad Company, although when using iron sights the frame rate tends to chug. Graphics are somewhere in the middle of BC1 and BC2.

11:38AM -- (3) for (40GS) in MOH. The campaign might be too short.

11:18AM -- (2) for (35GS) in MOH. Don't be afraid to start this game on hard, it feels more like normal.


10:57AM -- Now I must game. Putting in MOH.

10:56AM -- SuperEugene41 says: dont do a lebron and choke at 499,999 lmfao :P

 10:40AM -- I better get to gaming if I want those 42 achievements for the day. I'll probably load up some MOH single player.

10:19AM -- Just activated the ninja suit for Dead Rising 2. Thanks Fro!

10:10AM -- She wants to be Alice and recommended I be the Mad hatter. I said how about the Cheshire Cat......not going to happen

10:00AM -- Still talking to possum about stuff. Halloween costumes came up, looking at some now. Had a Kashi granola bar and got another cup of joe.

9:44AM -- Just checked the weather outside, I'm melting! help me! Very nice weather, just right temperature wise.

9:35AM -- Going to grab some grub and then hang out with possum before she heads off to school.

9:30AM -- More sleep would've been nice. I had a strange dream that possum was choking me to death.

9:25AM -- Drinking some coffee and checking the internets. The story behind why I started drinking coffee. Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow Multiplayer was so awesome, I didn't want to go to sleep. True story. I've been hooked every since. Well, I did drink a nasty ass cup a few years back which lead me to quit drinking it for a few months.

9:20AM -- My coffee is beeping, need a few cups. I always end up feeling like crap when I do these. Yesterday I felt fresh as a daisy.

9:15AM -- Woke up a lot later than usual. I was up earlier (3AM) because I couldn't sleep but I also couldn't keep myself awake. I managed to finish off memories off 7 which only took a few minutes. I unlocked (9) in that so I guess I'm doing okay for getting to 42 today.

Guinness World Record 2011 Worlds Highest Gamerscore

The 2010 Edition
I just got confirmation that I will once again be in the Guinness Book of World Records Gamer's Edition. It will be the 2011 edition which releases sometime in the near future. I am not sure of the exact score that was recorded, but it will be on page 23. I was contacted 2 months ago about doing a photo for it because at the time Guinness had a photographer touring the country. I'm sad to say that never took place, but at least this time I will get my certificate. They are mailing that to me, so I'll just have to take my own photo. Last year if I could have made it to E3, a photo would've been taken. This year, I guess I just live in BFE. Regardless, I was pretty excited when I opened that e-mail.

Pinky Promise

Achievement Bounty 10-12-2010 (41) (1,030GS)
Day 12 of Achievement Leapfrog
41 Achievements
1,030 Gamerscore

Pinky Promise is one of the main choices in the memories off 7 game. You can either pinky promise or deny the pinky for different reactions and paths. That's one way of making a strange game, well, stranger. Check the tiles for the pink, pinky promise. I don't think I want to know all the places its been.

Medal of Honor is pretty good so far. I played a few hours of single player and 4 games of MP. I can't say I like it as much as Battlefield: Bad Company, but it's still good. The servers weren't working the first couple of hours I tried (FACE SHOCKED) but I eventually got into a game. I was getting a little lag here and there that ruined my enjoyment. I can see the potential in it which is a really good sign. I will definitely be playing a lot more of this and I will need to so I can come to a final verdict.

Now only if we can get DICE and EA to pinky promise us that servers will work day one on all future releases. Stop denying us the pinky, extend it high in the air for all to embrace.

Kiss On My Frogeity

Achievement Bounty 10-11-2010 (40) (1,370GS)
Kiss on my Deity was an extremely short game, I was presently surprised by that. I knew it was short because I referred to it as my get out of jail free card. If it wasn't for that game, the leapfrog action would be over. I felt like crap at the beginning of the day, but I feel fine now. Going for 41 achievements tomorrow and hopefully get to play a good game in the process, Medal of Honor.

A Day In The Life

A day long running blog. Refresh for latest updates.

 8:29PM -- Achievement Bounty done and posted. Going to retire to my couch and watch Monday Night Football. Checking messages and stuff before I retire. Goodnight.

7:50PM-- Pop goes the weasel, 1 for 10GS in Dirt 2 pc. Puts me at 40 for the day on the dot. Tomorrow I'll need 41, hopefully MOH is good. Where does the time go? About to get the achievement bounty for today ready.

6:57PM -- Eating something called Homestyle bakes, Asian style fried rice. Has chicken, rice, and peas. Pretty good for what it is. Probably going to load up dirt PC for that final achievement to make 40.

6:49PM -- Feeling mighty clean. Making some food while Possum cleans up, well, stirring what she told me to stir.

6:12PM -- Back now. Shot some hoops then ran for 2.5 miles. Possum did as well, need a shower, Stinky Mc Stinkersen.

4:43PM -- About to get in the car and drive to the park for a run. I'll probably be gone for around an hour. Still need 1 more achievement.

4:16PM -- 2 for 30. KG was the Jordan player of the game. 20pts 9Rebs 3assis 1stl. Not sure why I didn't get my positive teamate rating.:( 1 to go.

3:47PM -- Holy crap! a game is starting. I'm KG

3:39PM -- Taking forever to find a game. Not a good sign. Is it too much to ask for a game that works out of the box...I think not.

3:31PM -- Forgot to mention how selfish people are in Team-up mode. I was on the bulls as Boozer went 8 for 10. The guy controlling Derrek Rose went 2 for 29. Unbelievable.

3:29PM -- Scratch that, I want to play NBA2k11. I'll give team-up mode another shot. I kept getting disconnect during the games last time.

3:26PM -- Going to fire up Dirt 2 PC to see what I can get.

3:23PM -- Couldn't find any meat I wanted, had to settle for a bowl of raisin bran with skim milk. Cleaned a bunch of cat hair off my couch.

3:12PM -- Still thinking about those last 3 I need. I just want to get it over with so I can rest by brain a little.

3:03PM -- Installed one of the games I will probably start up tomorrow. Possum is on her way home, so we will go running in a few. Now what to play for the final 3 achievements of the day.

2:56PM -- Also had a nice little salad. Looking for some meat.

2:53PM -- Yep, everything unlocked. 8 for 510GS. What a short game that was. 37 down 3 to go.

2:42PM -- If every thing pops like it should, I may be done with this in a minute. By far my easiest day so far. I was grinding out a lot of stuff over the past 10 days. I knew Kiss was my get out of jail free card.

2:34PM -- 3 for 120GS in KoMD. 29 down, 11 to go. Not too shabby. Done with push-ups 3 sets of 60. Still more to do in Kiss, not sure if I can just leave it. We'll see.

2:25PM -- Sweet! No problems. This must be the long story arc for KoMD, come on already.

2:22PM -- Dips done. I'll try some push-ups but I get various results with that from day to day. Sometimes it's too painful on my wrists.

2:15PM -- Can't wait for possum to get back, haven't seen her much lately. We are going for a run at the park here in a little bit.

2:06PM -- Curls done, About to do some dips. Still waiting on the other 120 to pop.

1:57PM


1:54PM -- Doing curls and hammer curls. Drinking lots of water, it's very important.

1:50PM -- 3 for 120 is KoMD. About to let another story arc run that is worth the same amount.

1:43PM -- Listening to smack my bitch up. This song makes me want to fly down to Texas and Smack My Bitch up.

1:37PM -- Kiss on My deity is still running along smoothly. Just did 3 sets of 25 chin-ups. It's one of the work outs that doesn't effect the cysts that are in both wrists.

1:28PM -- Doing chin-ups first. I already feel better. :)

1:22PM -- Left ear bud for IPod headphones is busted. wtf. crackly songs for the loss. Although, it sounds better than the party chat podcast.

1:16PM -- Yep, that's exactly what I'm going to do. Thank God for KoMD. I'd be french toast without it.

1:08PM -- Finished that off, what a quick game that is. 23 down 17 to go. I'll probably put KoMD back in and let that run while I work out.

12:26PM -- I think I'm losing my mind, I think the to go count is completely wrong. Bout to get the real number. Yeah, it's 15 down, 25 to go.

12:20PM -- 2 for 30GS. 23 to go. I guess I should go brush my teeth.

12:05PM -- 2 for 35GS in Wallace and Gromit. 26 to go, I have just under 12 hours to do so.

11:46AM -- Had a turkey sandwich, broccoli, cauliflower, and a low fat yogurt (Yoplait) Just downloaded Wallace and Gromit #3, so I'm starting that up.

11:27AM -- 1 for 20GS in NBA 2k11. 29 to go. I hate this years achievements, they seem to not want to pop unless certain settings are applied. Probably need to get something to eat.

10:23AM -- Popping in Nba2k11 to see if I can get a quick one.

9:45AM -- 2 for 70GS in Death Smiles 2. 30 to go. Going to spend some time with possum before she heads off to school.

9:07AM -- Seems like time is going by very fast. I'll try another cup of coffee, then another play through of death smiles 2.

8:57AM -- 1 for 20GS. 33 to go. A slog just like I expected. I'm worn out mentally from the previous 10 days. It's extremely hard to keep focus.

8:48AM -- Liquid chunks

8:44AM -- Miss Mittens just blew chunks, gotta clean that up.:(

8:16AM -- Going to do another run-through of Death Smiles 2.

8:13AM -- Ate other half of the blueberry bagel and had a tiny bit of lowfat cottage cheese. Took a multivitamin (centrum)

8:07AM -- Correction: Satan Claws. 1 for 30GS. 34 to go.

7:47AM -- Deathsmiles 2 is such a strange little game. Christmas themed (final boss is Santa Claws) side scrolling shooter. There is so much stuff on the screen at once it's hard to distinguish enemy projectiles from goodies.

7:17AM -- 1 for 80GS. 34 to go. Moving to Death Smiles 2x. I was having trouble with achievements unlocking yesterday, so it may be a bad choice.

7:14AM -- 1 for 20GS. 35 to go.

7:08AM -- KoMD is a multitask game, once I pop these 2 achievements for this story arc, I'm moving to something else. I'll revisit it when I have something to multitask.

7:06AM -- 1 for 20GS. 36 to go.

7:03AM -- Drinking lots of water.

6:51AM -- oops, selected the wrong option. Just wasted 15 minutes, shit happens. I'll probably switch games after this story arc is finished. I'll come back to it later. Easy stuff to waste a semi fresh whore on.

6:41AM -- Rubber band on the right trigger is my best friend. Still have to stick around to choose a few options. Maybe I should save this for later when I get really tired.

6:26AM -- 1 for 80GS. 37 to go. Getting another cup of coffee, need the jolt.

6:17AM -- 1 more for 20GS. 38 to go. I can already tell this is going to be a slog of a day.

6:09AM -- 1st achievement popped. 1 for 20GS. 39 to go.

6:03AM -- Getting bored with this quickly. Listening to Mike & Mike on espn2.

5:49AM -- Ate half of a blueberry bagel. Now back to KomD. I'll probably listen to music while I play.

5:46AM -- Getting something to eat and getting a glass of water.

5:41AM -- Done with messages for now. Going to eat something then probably play Kiss on my deity, a good way to get the ball rolling.

5:33AM -- Drinking some coffee, thinking about how I'm going to approach getting 40 achievements today. Coffee is the worst thing I drink by the way, hardly ever drink pop (last time I did was Halo release, had a couple sips of dew), and rarely drink booze. I like keeping a clear head.

5:24AM -- Answering and deleting xbox live messages.

5:20AM -- Coffee is brewing. I'm checking out facebook, twitter, xbox live messages, ect in the mean time.

5:11AM -- Just woke up and slept like crap, got maybe 5 hours. Feeling sort of sickly. Making some coffee (Folgers Colombian) and checking the internet.

I'm Bleeding Out

Achievement Bounty 10-10-2010 (39) (680GS)
Day 10:
39 Achievements
680 Gamerscore

It feels like I'm running out of steam at the moment. Hoping to pick myself up and get going again. It will be tricky from here on out to get at least 40 a day. I don't see myself lasting too much longer.

I'll probably do another Day In The Life tomorrow. A day in the life is an all day running blog.

If you are manly enough, send me a picture of you leapfrogging something, I'll put it on here tomorrow.

This could be you!

Enslaved = Sleeper Hit of The Year

Achievement Bounty 10-9-2010 (38) (695GS)
Enslaved was just excellent, sucked me right in from beginning to end. It has a little bit of something for everyone. Hack n slash, clambering, shooting, platforming, puzzles, and exploration. It uses the unreal engine, so it looks a lot like Gears of War and even has a Gears inspired section of a level. Speaking of inspired, the game I would compare it to the most is Prince of Persia. Enslave features great voice acting and lots of humor that had me giggling like a school girl.

Sleeper hit of the year for me, just nipping Darksiders by the slimmest of margins. It might not be perfect, it may not even be great, but it's one fun ride worth taking. It oozes untapped potential which sets up a sequel perfectly.

Overall Rating 8.3

Stallion Certified Top 10 Xbox 360 game of 2010. Oct. 9, 2010

Left 4 Dead 2 DLC Iz Da Suck

Achievement Bounty 10-8-2010 (36) (985GS)
Day:8
36 Achievements
985 Gamerscore

I'm really enjoying Enslaved quite a bit so far. A game clearly inspired by Prince of Persia, Tomb Raider, ICO, and whatever hack n slash game you want to throw in. The setting looks like something straight out of Final Fantasy. The interaction between Monkey (Main character) and the bitch that cannot drive worth a damn (Big breasted female character that we see in every game these days) is interesting to me thus far. There is one achievement that will be a pain in the buttocks and I'll probably end up skipping it myself. You have to collect all the tech points in the game. Not sure exactly how many there are, but it's easily 500+. Solid game all around.

I would say something about the Left 4 Dead 2 Sacrifice DLC, but I do not want to spend more time with this sentence than I did with that slim content. Damn it! I already did. Here's a more appropriate description that mimics its length. L4D2 DLC iz da suck.

Still moving along fairly well with this challenge I made up. I'm probably driving myself bat shit by counting achievements way too often. Believe it or not, this is probably the most I've ever wanted to score. It's just something about beating my previous day that drives me mad. I'm surprised that I never thought of trying something like this before, although, the complete a game a day was similar. I have another challenge in mind that I may tackle once the smoke clears from this challenge and the GSL.

NBA 2k11 is excellent. Are you are a fan of the bulls or Jordan?  If so, it will be love at first sight. You don't just have to be a fan of Jordan, it's still a game for every NBA fan. It also has a lot of the old school teams from the late 80's early 90's. Easily the best basketball game on current generation consoles. NBA Elite, do us all a favor and call it off for good. You have no chance.

Bosh "I preferred your cold nuts in my face"

It looks a lot better on the xbox and with snazzy little sounds. BLAH!

Achievement streak still alive. I need at least 31 tomorrow to keep it going.

It finally feels like I'm contributing in the x360a gamerscore league. I just took a look at the scores and we are getting destroyed. 25 days left to chip away at a 54,000 point margin. First place might be out of the cards for us, but I think we can give second place a good run. Tomorrow, NBA2k11! Jordan is dead meat. It seems Rand al thor 19 is putting his 5 D's in dodgeball to use. Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive, Dodge! I'm still waiting for him to man up and accept my challenge, Kobe vs Jordan. If you see someone driving down the interstate in a white Bronco on the news, it's probably Rand, running from me.

The Ultimate Challenge

Achievement Bounty 10-3-2010 (29) (625GS)
Still moving along with the idea I had about topping my daily achievement total by at least 1. I really enjoy it, brought me back from the dead.

Breakdown so far:

DAY 1:
25 Achievements
506 Gamerscore
Day 2:
28 Achievements
941 Gamerscore
Day 3:
29 Achievements
625 Gamerscore

I need at least 30 tomorrow to keep it alive.

The ultimate challenge would be to start at a base of 20 achievements and 500 gamerscore. Try topping both achievement and gamerscore daily totals for as many days possible. On top of that, completing a game everyday in the process. If you can go for an entire month, you get a cookie. If you do the minimum and go up 1 achievement per day, you will still need around 1,050 total achievements in one month. I was almost crazy enough to try, but for now, I will stick with what I'm doing.

Podcast: Party Chat Podcast - Episode #7

Featuring: MajinFro, Omega Deez, Rand al Thor 19, and Stallion83.

On Episode #7 we talk about Halo: Reach, tackle some listener questions about Xbox live enemies, and a whole lot more.

Next time you hear us, hopefully it will be much improved. We are trying our best to make the quality better, so we have to make a change. We are moving from the xbox live party chat recording to the computer. Which means a name change might be in order.

If you have a question that you would like answered during the next podcast, leave us a comment or a tweet. We would be happy to answer.

Baked Apple Pie On A Window Seal

Achievement Bounty 10-2-2010 (28)
If the Crash Time series keeps improving at this rate, Crash Time XXV will probably be the greatest game of all time. I'm really enjoying Crash Time 3 thus far, greatly improved in every way over its predecessors. You can even do drive-bys, (you get to shoot bad guys from your car in some missions) which is really strange to me because of the city it takes place in, but still pretty cool. Today was another successful gamerscore day. I did up my achievement total from the previous day, up from 25 to 28. So I guess that means tomorrow I need 29 to keep whatever this is, going. I'm destined to fail in about a day or so. I better get to cracking on that.

Less than 10,000 to go before the half way point! The scent of 500,000 is luring me in like a cartoon character to a baked apple pie on a window seal. I'm actually getting pretty excited about it. I've been numb to the achievement popping feeling for so long, it feels nice to be excited about reaching it.
CAUTION: This pie will burn your dick off, don't even think about it.

The Runway Is Clear For Landing

Achievement Bounty for 10-1-2010

Starting to pick up the pace a little more now. I'm going to try and beat my previous daily achievement totals for a few days. I started out a little too high (25) to keep upping myself for a long period of time. I'm always trying to find a different angle to keep myself interested. Finally have my gamerscore back to an even number thanks to Summer Athletics, which I had to sacrifice completing all the achievements in so my score stays even-steven. Now I can hit 500,000 on the dot here in a few weeks. It's  been odd for far too long.

Got bored of Dead Rising 2 a lot quicker than expected. It's a been there, done that, sort of feeling that has pushed me away. It's a very enjoyable game, but I need to give it a rest. The onslaught of new releases continues next week. Nba2k11 is getting remarkable reviews over the internet, which is awesome. But if the online play is broken out of the box, there will be hell to pay.

S83: Wandy Thor IS a little gossip girl, no doubt. I think he cuts hair for a living......ball hair. Good point about the intro, which I agree with.

Kinect Could Be My Activate Button

500,000 is so close I can almost taste it. At this point, I just need to reach out and grab it. Today I had high hopes of getting at least a couple thousand points under my belt. I obviously came up way short of that. For the last couple of weeks, I've been telling myself, "tomorrow." Maybe all the hate that suddenly stopped motivated me. Maybe I'm just broken from gaming overload. Maybe all these years of depriving myself of sleep is catching up to me. Try not to laugh, my activate button could very well be kinect. Done laughing yet? I've put a bazillion hours into Xbox 360 gaming, I just need a curveball, a little varity.

Before I throw this out there and act like a know it all. I have some pretty good tips on exercising, eating healthy, and tips for teens.

Healthy Eating Tip: Pretty basic stuff here, instead of eating 3 large meals a day, eat smaller meals more frequently, around four hours. Example portion: Meal # 1: Bowl of oatmeal &Toast - Meal #2: Turkey sandwich & banana.

Let me know if you don't like these tips. Yo, Stallion! That be stoopid! Talk about games. JERK!
