All Your Messages Are belong To Me - Deluxe Edition

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

Stallion Doin' Work: Day 17, 18, & 19 - Hitting The Marks

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

Day 17- 

Kobe had a light night on Friday with 20 points vs the Nuggets

Saturday: Challenge Day - At least 20 achievements needed

I was on cruise control for the day.

I unlocked 22 achievements for 375 gamerscore in Steins; gate: Hiyoku-Renri no Darling.

I unlocked 1 achievement for 80 gamerscore in Soulcalibur V.

Total for day 17: 23 achievements - 455 gamerscore

Day 18-

Kobe scores 26 points against the Utah Jazz on Saturday night

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. 

Day 1: Kobe 37pts - Stallion 38 achievements - 805 Gamerscore
Day 2: Kobe 30pts - Stallion 32 achievements - 505 Gamersocre

Day 5: Kobe 48pts - Stallion 49 achievements - 1,260 gamerscore
Day 6: Kobe 40pts - Stallion 41 achievements - 906 gamerscore
Day 7: Kobe 42pts - Stallion 44 achievements - 790 gamerscore

Stallion Doin' Work: Day 14,15, & 16 - Tardy Tard/GSPM Debacle

I sat down around mid day on Tuesday to blog about Day 14 and 15 only to find out that a shit storm erupted on the top of my and many others heads in the form of yet another GSL(gamerscore league) drama festival. Shocking! I know. I just want to say sorry to the podcast listeners who were looking forward to the intertwined goodness that would of been. The entire situation was completely out of my hands and I had nothing to do with it from the start or when it went to hell in a hand basket. I was kind of skeptical from the very moment phatal1ty told me about the idea a few months back. I so desperately wanted everything to go without a hitch, no drama, no bullshit. That is where most Gamerscore competitions generally fail as you can always count on these things becoming an epic clusterfuck of massive proportions. I guess some people live for having extra middle school like drama in their lives.

I do deserve some blame for not stepping up and telling Pha. not to use the podcast name. So many characters were involved and I knew it could of easily went down the tube since no sole person was in control...which it did. I guess even if we had not used the podcast name it still would of been pimped on the show. So I really had no control over it without just flat out saying no to the entire thing. I didn't want to be the one. Knee jerk reactions were made and now it is what it is. This isn't a side picking contest; both parties are to blame. Phatal1ty and Sasha butted heads on a few points, most notably the tag teaming rule that was in place from the go. You should not be in a gamerscore competition if you are two people playing on a single tag. Period! No ifs ands or buts about it. It's just not fair to everyone else involved. If you Tag team outside of competitions and for non-leaderboard positions, that's totally cool. That's your prerogative.

Gamertag Chad and Jessie, the community manager over at Trueachievements, thought she was doing the competition a service by joining up with a team. Rightfully so, but the gamertag clearly implies that it is two people on a single tag and it is. If you're the community manager of the site, why join if you know the rules to the competition is that no tag teaming is allowed? It boggles the mind. A service that she thinks she is providing to the competition instantly becomes a disservice. That's not hard to figure out. I'm not placing the lion's share of blame on her doorstep what-so-ever because as I stated before, both sides share the blame evenly, but you're causing a rift and you should not be an exception to the rules no matter what your title is.

It never should of went down like this, especially two days before the competition was suppose to kick off. As a collective podcast group I think we stood firm that it was either all in for tag teamers or all out. The end result was phatal1ty taking her ball and walking. Instead of mending fences, she decided to burn the bridge without getting our input on the situation. I was most disappointed with that.

It's all just a bunch of dork shit though. Children are dying from Mosquito bites in Africa and people have the nerve to start drama over the stupidest shit known to man over phone lines and optical cables.

I don't think the competition is ruined, so by all means, stay in it and have fun. It still should be a blast and I don't think the rule change compromises it all that much, but it does lose some amount of integrity.


Day14-

Kobe set the bar with 27 points against the Bucks on Saturday night.


Sunday: Challenge Day - at least 27 achievements needed


I'm having to dig deep into the archives to find these numbers....*scatters across the room...throws games, books, and papers all over the place...okay, found the book of archives: "Achievements n Things"*  *Glimmer of light reflects off of the book*

It seems as if I played TextTwist2 and Fragger for the WP7. TextTwist2 is scrabble and Fragger seems like Worms light but with only a single weapon at your disposal; a hand grenade. I played Crash Time II EU or what's known as Autobahn Polizei in America. There's all of three people that know what I'm talking about because the game sold like MC Hammer CD's in the mid 90's. It goes by the full name of Crash Time 2: Burning Wheels but I refer to it as Crash Time 2: Burning itch in your pants. This is my second tango with Crash Time II and how I long for it to be over. The first time was a much better experience once I got over the fact that it is a steamy turd of a game. I currently feel like a tortoise stuck in molasses when I play it, just so bored. I unlocked 11 achievements for 233 gamerscore in CT2. 11 achievements for 75 gamerscore in Fragger. 5 achievements for 27 gamerscore in  TextTwist2.


Pretty weak sauce day overall. I hang my head in disgust.

Total for day 14: 27 achievements - 335 gamerscore (my worst gamerscore output so far during this challenge) (And this time it's facts)

Day 15-
Kobe drops 35 on the Timberwolves Sunday night

Monday: Challenge Day - at least 35 achievements needed

*Gets the book back out*

Hmmmmm... interesting. More of the same but more. Brilliant. I played the following: *takes a deep breath in* *speaks as fast as possible*

TextTittyTwist2, Fragger, Crash Time II:  It burns when I pee, Saints Row The Third, National Geographic Quiz! Wild Life, and Disneyland Adventures. *takes a deep breath out* *shakes it all about?* We had a little hokey pokey vs hokey cokey debate on the newest podcast. I promise you that I'm not crazy.....yet.

At least not this crazy:


I'd bet a large sum of money that Whitney Houston prefers the Hokey Cokey over the Hokey pokey. Just a hunch.

I already covered the three-sum that is TT2, Fragger, and Crash Time II, so I'll start off with Saints Row The Third. I purchased the Genkibowl VII DLC and I was not impressed with it at all even though I have a legitimate love affair with this game. Hell, I would make babies with this game without being trashed. I even gave it runner-up for GOTY and labeled it the most fun game overall.  But this DLC did absolutely nothing for me. I got my completion back, an hour or so of gameplay, and that was about it. I was actually relieved when that waste of an hour was over. After I beat the original content and got the 1,000 gamerscore points back in December, I sat there longing for more, kind of depressed that no game would ever stack up.(not that dramatic but it sounded convincing) It was hard to move on to another game since it was sparks at first sight. Maybe we drifted apart over the months and the long holiday season, but I hope that feeling I once had comes around as time goes by. I will never forget the amazing times we had and I wish you the very best.




10 achievements for 100 gamerscore in Saints Row The Third

6 achievements for 50 gamerscore in TextTwist2

2 achievements for 20 gamerscore in Fragger

7 achievements for 260 gamerscore in Crash Time II.

Nation Geographic Quiz! Wild Life is a PAL region only title. It's very much similar to the US exclusive National Geographic challenge only with a lot more content and much, much longer for gamerscore as well. It's a nice change of pace to sit down and work a puzzle with a turtle neck sweater on. Not sure why I imagine hardcore puzzle hobbyists to be turtle neck sweater wearers. I unlocked 10 achievements for 175 gamerscore.


I finally got around to getting some real time in with Disneyland adventures. It may be long, it may be a grind for all the achievements, but it's one hell of a Kinect game. It's top 5 in the Kinect catalog with ease. They must of finally unthawed Walt Disney to put his genius to use. The voice commands are built-in brilliantly and it just works so well when it comes to controlling the menus, the player movements, and interaction with characters in the world from a Kinect standpoint. It could very well be the bar for current and future Kinect games. Not everyone will like it, but if you can't afford a trip to the land of Disney for the fam, your little rug rat or rats are sure to fall in love with this gem in the comfort of your home.


I unlocked 9 achievements for 135 gamerscore in Disney.

Total for Day 15: 44 achievements - 740 gamerscore

Day 16-
Kobe scored 24 points against the Bobcats on Tuesday night.

Wednesday: Challenge Day - at least 24 achievements needed


I celebrated another year of life on this day. So that's good...to be alive and all. I do feel old when it comes to this game playing biz, however, I am still in my twenties, so I still have a little somethin' somethin' left in the tank. I'm like a worn down vet in the twilight of his career. At least I feel that way.

I think I did pretty dang good today.I started out with Jillian M Fitness Adventures with 2 achievements  and 185 gamerscore.

Briefly played SoulCalibur V and popped 1 achievement for 30 gamerscore. I like what I've played so far, but not enough to give it a fair shake. At this points it's not drawing me in like IV did.

And now for the Japanese bombs. I had these puppies lined up for the first week of the GSP marathon that was suppose to be up on running by the time you read this. I just decided to drop them based on everything that happened and the fact it was delayed a week. I just couldn't wait any longer. The buttons were popping off and I was about to explode.

Mud-luv 16 achievements for 1,000 gamerscore.

Stalion Doin' Work: Day 13 - F*&% Lips

Day13-


Kobe scored 24 points against the Clippers on Wednesday night setting me up for a stroll in the park for the challenge on Thursday.

Wednesday: Off Day

Finished off my final achievement in Karaoke Revolution to get that completion. I got the majority of those achievements during my run to 500,000 gamerscore back in October of 2010. I would say give it a go if you like Karaoke, Revolution and lips are the two best on the 360. I hate Lips though! I can't believe I'm sitting here recommending it. Almost 3 years have passed and it still makes me mad. I'm taking that bad taste Lips left in my mouth to the grave with me.

Played 3 to 4 hours of Jillian Michaels Fitness Adventures while destroying my legs in the process. Try doing 14 circuits in a row after doing 20-30 individual exercises. Rough. I was sweating buckets from that and still managed to get some weight lifting in after. I feel like I'm training for the 2012 Kinect summer Olympics as of late, even impressed my cat with my leaping ability.

It feels good being able to do what I want physically. After 500k I did get pretty ill which coincided with the release of Kinect. I felt better for a week or so but got sick again before going out to LA for the XtendPlay debut. I had a right hip problem leading up to the event which left me laid out on the couch for a week. That passed, but a day later I came down with the shingles virus, which was much worse than the hip problem. That happened just days before I needed to catch a plane to LA. Everything got cancelled and scratched, so there I was, out on my ass for weeks. I finally got better again but started getting hip pain right before PAX east. I was thinking to myself, "not this shit again." That only lasted a few days and the pain wasn't as extreme as the first go around. About a month after PAX I was doing hard running and the hip pain came back. I went on a trip to Florida shortly after and I felt really good the entire time. I worked out almost every day but running still wasn't in the cards. I came back home with new found hope and vigor as I was mentally and physically recharged for the first time in a long time. That was also around the time Cindy told me to lay the smack down and where the "WIN" line came from in my 600k video. Not so long after the podcast started I passed out and got rushed to the ER. I checked out just fine, but still, I was worried since nothing like that happened to me before. I did have hip and knee problems up until about three weeks to a month ago.However, I managed to slog through some Kinect games with extreme pain during that time. This has been a strange year as ever for me and I'm not sure why I'm breaking down the medical history report. But I do feel freaking great right now. I'm jumping around like kangaroo on speed. I just hope the trend continues. You don't have much if you don't have your health.

Thursday: Challenge Day - at least 24 achievements needed

Unlocked 8 achievements for 280 gamerscore in Family Game Night 4 EU. I have two achievements left in that, one being the 50 game shows played. A little too many if you ask me.

Darksiders JP got some spin. Darksiders is a sleeper hit from a few years back that I really enjoyed then and still am in the present. Hopefully Darksiders 2 doesn't disappoint when it drops later this year. People having higher expectations puts the pressure on. Good luck team working on that. I unlocked 8 achievements for 95 gamerscore.

Kinect Sports keeps getting thrown into the fire on these challenge days. I probably said it before, but I'll say it again. It's one of the best Kinect games there is and still holds up well. It's well rounded and has a lot to offer, more so than Kinect Sports 2. I unlocked 5 achievements for 90 gamerscore. I think I'll get it done one day. A pretty tough game overall.

Disneyland Adventures was the first new game I've played in a while besides Darksiders JP and Family Game Night 4 EU. I wouldn't call those new since I've experienced the US versions of both.  I didn't play enough to come away with much of an opinion, but Disney seems to be top notch. It just screams quality from the graphics to the interface. It's quite long from what I've heard so we'll see how deep I actually get. A weak sauce 2 achievements for 15 gamerscore which took down my progressing completion percentage a bit. I'm always one step forward and two steps back when it comes to that. I just can't help myself.

Jillian Michaels Fitness Adventures....again. I couldn't last long as I was beat from the previous day. Her ass is grass and I'm the lawn mower. She will get hers soon. 1 achievement for 30 gamerscore. 6 left for the completion.

Total for Day 13: 24 achievements - 510 gamerscore - the lowest gamerscore total for the challenge yet.

Friday: Off Day

Not much gaming but I did watch a few episodes of Breaking Bad on Netflix. Check this show out if you get a chance or if you need another show fix.

This week was kind of light compared to the previous and I'l get a few more off days. The Lakers and Kobe are back at it on Saturday and Sunday night. That leaves me with a two-day-dip on Sunday and Monday. .

Day 1: Kobe 37pts - Stallion 38 achievements - 805 Gamerscore

Stallion Doin' Work: Day 12 - Time To Shine

Day12-

Kobe scored 33 Sunday night against the Pacers. Just about right where I want the number to be for challenge purposes. Not too much, but not too little. Something I find to be noteworthy is that Luol Deng of the Chicago Bulls has a torn ligament in his off hand. He will sit out for weeks, possibly months. Kobe has a torn ligament in his shooting hand, lost half of his money in a divorce, but has missed zero games, and is currently leading the league in scoring. On top of the fact that he is 33 years old and has a ton of miles on his body. Respect.

Monday: Challenge Day - at least 33 achievements needed

Went back to Scene it? BOS to clean up a few achievements I missed in the Award Winners DLC. I unlocked 3 achievements for 100 gamerscore and captured the completion w/DLC. Two of those achievements in the AM and the other midday. Thanks to Mr. Johnson for throwing his copy in so I could get the online quiz achievement. Good luck finding any company online.

Had a bit of cleaning up to do in National Geographic Challenge!, mostly the puzzle achievements. I did all the slider puzzles before I retired for the night. 1 achievement for 40 gamerscore.

At about 5:00PM EST I was only sitting on those 4 achievements, which left me with some work to do.

I'm missing a ton of achievements in Kinect Sports so I figured I could nab a few from it. I immediately downloaded the Calorie Challenge Pack since there were about 10 achievements to pick up. I unlocked 11 achievements for 265 gamerscore. I probably enjoy the Kinect Sports games more so than any other Kinect titles that aren't named The Gunstringer.

I got my new PAL Xbox in the mail (post for you Brits) along with Family Game Night 4 EU and that may have saved my bacon. I unlocked 19 achievements 580 Gamerscore. Thanks for trading with me little Nicky.

That put me at 34 achievements with more time to spare so I popped in Victorious: Time To Shine. I felt like this was my day to finally shine and I did just that. I got the gold star in the drum portion unlocking 2 achievements for 75 gamerscore and getting the completion in the process.

Total for day 12: 36 achievements - 1,060 Gamerscore

Tuesday: Off Day

Completed Nat Geo Challenge! by unlocking the final 3 achievements.

Completed WWE 12 by unlocking the final 4 achievements. The servers in this were terrible the day it came out and still are to this day. There should be an achievement just for connecting to the servers titled " The hardest achievement ever"

Played some Kinect Sports (working on a 5 day in a row achievement)

Made a little progress in Family Game Night 4 EU

Kobe and the Lakers play Tonight (Wednesday) against the Clippers so the challenge resumes tomorrow.

Stallion Doin' Work: Day 10 & 11 - CP3 Ain't Walking Through That Door

Day10-


Two days in one. Kobe scored 24 points Thursday night vs the Heat. Followed by a 30 point night against the Orlando magic on Friday night. That's right at the amount of points I thought he would average during this entire challenge.

Thursday: Off Day


A  lot more of NBA2k12 was played and I think I'm a tad addicted to my player mode at the moment.

Made a little more progress in Chaos;Head Noah which I probably should of finished off ages ago. It's not as bad as some people make it out to be. Boring and long, but easy.

Day11-


Friday: Challenge Day - 24 achievements needed

I started when the clock stuck midnight on the east coast.

Topped off CHAOS;HEAD NOAH right away by unlocking 3 achievements for 260 gamerscore. The game gave me zero problems which was a relief since 11eyes was giving me tons as the previous game spinning in my Japanese Xbox....but I finally slayed that beast.

11 eyes CrossOver being said beast. It took some tinkering before I was able to conquered it. I unlocked 2 achievements for 170 gamerscore. Good riddance! I'm glad that is over and done with. It was driving me nuts for days.

I was all aboard for some Harbor Master, unlocking 1 achievement for 5 gamerscore.

More NBA2k12 and my player. Surprise! Surprise! 1 achievement for 20 gamerscore.

WWE12 consumed the majority of my play time for the day. I managed to unlocked 9 achievements for 200 gamerscore while slowly chipping away at that completion.

Had to get a work-out in so Jillian Micheals was a good way to do that and knock out some achievements at the same time. 8 achievements for 100 gamerscore was the bounty.

Total for Day 9: 24 achievements - 755 gamerscore

Saturday: Challenge Day - 30 achievements needed


Started recording the podcast around 2am EST...make that 3am EST. Omega and myself are now the warriors of the night. We will be the saviors of this great planet if a zombie apocalypse breaks out. Skype being at our fingertips gives us the advantage, both ready to dial 911 at the drop of a hat. Can you even call 911 on Skype? Whatever. I'll just use my cell. Obviously we won't have to worry about zombitches in the daytime when we are actually asleep, the sun will take care of them then. Don't say I didn't warn you when a zombie is sucking on your melon.

I stuck with NBA2k12 while recording. More my player mode gaining zero achievements in about 2 and a half to 3 hours. It takes forever.

Began plowing away at Otomedius G, another game I'm missing a single achievement on. Got a little closer once I actually figured out what I needed to do.

WWE12 dominated my play time for a second day in a row. I unlocked 20 achievements for 370 gamerscore. I'm getting close to that completion but road to wrestlemania drags on like an annoying teenage girl summarizing her day at the mall. I also recaptured my #1 overall wrestling gamerscore title.





















I used the Windows Phone game Text Twist 2 to get my score back to 0's or 5's so I can hit 700,000 on the dot. 1 achievement 1 gamerscore. I get a kick out of looking at that game on my card. Bought it for 1 freaking point. smh


Another day of Jillian Michael's fitness and this time I did work up a good sweat. 10 achievements for 260 gamerscore. The seven remaining achievements in JM will take some effort.

Total for Day 10: 31 achievements - 631 gamerscore

Sunday: Off Day


Not a lot of gaming going on here. Played a single game of NBA2k12 and finished unlocking my last card in Otomedius G for a 200 point achievement and the completion.

Glad to see that Super Bowl XLVI will be a rematch of XLII.


The bar is set for my challenge today, Kobe ended up with 33 in a loss to the Pacers on Sunday night. The 3rd straight loss for the Lakers. The Chris Paul trade that wasn't still pisses me off. They need another PG asap.

Day 1: Kobe 37pts - Stallion 38 achievements - 805 Gamerscore
Day 2: Kobe 30pts - Stallion 32 achievements - 505 Gamersocre
Day 3: Kobe 39pts - Stallion 44 achievements - 1,035 gamerscore
