Well I wore out my Xbox. Now I am good to go.

   I don't see how. I mean you were bragging to me about passing me back at the end of Sept. '07 when we had like 12-14,000 gamerpoints. So you've picked up like 18-21,000 points in the last 6-7 months (between 2,571-3,500 per month). Like I said, "I don't see how that'd put any strain on your 360.

   Hmm, are you sure about that?

Honestly... why bother?

lol!!  No I dont see how either!! Thats a lotta GS points!! Ive been playing my 360 now for about 2 1/2 months, and I only have 2050. 1000/1000 halo3 and a bunch of misc games that I have! lol!! didnt put much effort into the others until I beat H3 fully!! I do have Army of Two as well, if you need a pertner! I do however want a partner for some Gears campaign action, as I just got it about 2 weeks ago, but havent really gave it a great onefor yet. My friend bought an Elite 2 days ago, and he didnt get the headset, ethernet cord or his HDMI in the box!! he was MAD!!!! Took it back and of course BestBuy replaced it. Someone had opened the box...lol!! Great picking their man....lol!!!

They are awarded for different things.  Like being an Ambassador, or if you write a lot of helpful guides you get the FAQ one, a '?'.  It depends on what it is.  You just have to be involved in the forums and help out.

pillz are bad umkay so givem all to me umkay

I got the "Beat all 6 Advanced Levels" on Portal last night, and I'm afraid I'm nearing the end of my quest for all 99 achievements in Orange Box.  I watched on youtube some of the Gold medal examples for Portal and I realize....I have no shot.  First of all, they are done with a mouse from the PC version, then they require more reaction time and level memorization than my skill will allow.

After I get the 1000 kills and one more TF2 achievement, I will retire the game pleased with 95 of 99.  According to MGC I'm the top half of 1.0% of all players for total score.  That will have to do.

Yeah I know.. I was slowing down.. was happy I reached my goal of 24k in one year on live.  But then the job thing happend and I have nothing else to do.. well sort of.. I could do housework but nah.. rather play xbox.. so the score has gone up and up and up.. Now if I keep this up I might hit 48k by my two years..   Also I have been trying to get to the #1 spot on the GnB board. I am only a few hundred points behind the #1 person now..   Oh and I got the two year replacement plan so yes I am good to go..

That worries me Blu... you've been without a job for a while now, and you just bought an Elite, and are choosing gaming over keeping a tidy house...

Time for an intervention.

   Yeah someone already posted it in My UT3 thread I used to have linked in my Sig. Thanks for posting it though. I encourage linking info even if it's already been posted. Well unless it's the 10th time I've seen a thread about it. lol.

Not exactly sure.  I have Bully, Condemned 2 and Army of Two.  But I've been on a kick to do old games I own.  Maybe some more Crackdown for a while.

Ok I'm still a new dad 4 months but I would think that any of the kids movies that you would let your kids watch would be a suitable game ie Cars, Open Season, Bee Movie etc...

Viva Pinata Party Animals, or some of the XBLA games like TMNT '89 where it is straight forward and no real penalty for dying.

I'm going to second this one because the game is relatively easy and they can run around doing nothing and it is still fun.  And it is not torture to play with them.  I loved the game.

I did a list of questions with her to be sure she wasn't messing up her finances.  She's good.  Better than I was when I was unemployed.    I'm still paying for that time off.     And I think we all would choose playing over keeping a tidy house.
