15:43 – December 20th 2009 – 100,000 GS reached.
What a weight off the mind, I haven’t played much over the last few days excpet Lost Odyssey as I wanted to take a quick break from this, as it was burning me out, and I actually didn’t play anything for 2 days straight. But, the challenge is now done, I can now retire to the life of non-whoring and gaming for fun.
If you believe that, you’re retarded. Next aim is to 100% Lost Odyssey, as it’ll be my greatest one to date.
What a day, UP finally arrived, and I finished Terminator: Salvation (horrific game). At this rate, i’ll be at 100,000 by Wednesday, so I can take it very easy from here on in. It’s been a lot of fun though.

Awesome.
My lowest total so far, and hopefully my lowest total period for this challenge. But I had a few hours to kill, so I thought I’d reach a milestone with at least a semi-decent game, and certainly enjoyed. So congratulations Lego: Batman, you are my 50th 100%.

Terminator Salvation to finish tomorrow, then HOPEFULLY(!) UP.
Still no UP, bloody annoying, so I went and got Terminator Salvation for an hours play, and gota few achievements, so went better than it could have done.

What a truely crap day. Up didn’t arrive and I got bored of Mini-kits on Lego Batman, so not a huge amount of progress day, as the following totals show:
GS before today: 97,266
GS now: 97,386
Total GS gained: 120
GS Remaining till 100,000: 2614

Very good day today. Completed the Lego: Batman story and i’m now cleaning up all the extras, which will come over the next day or so. I should be getting ‘UP’ tomorrow, which will be an easy 1,000. A couple of hundred in Batman should also go down fairly swiftly. Regardless, here are todays totals.
GS before today: 96,646
GS now: 97,266
Total GS gained: 620
GS Remaining till 100,000: 2734
GS needed per day: 183
I might do this sort of challenge at various points over the year as well, it’s giving me a real push to play and i’m really enjoying it. I’m tempted to set 150k by next Christmas, but we’ll see.
Like I said, today wasn’t a hugely productive day, only playing a small part of Banjo Kazooie and Lego: Batman. Still, here’s todays breakdown.
GS before today: 96,456
GS now: 96,646
Total GS gained: 190
GS Remaining till 100,000: 3354
GS needed per day: 210
Hopefully tomorrow will be good and I can make a decent amount of progress on Lego: Batman.
It’s been a very succesful day for me today, including finally getting 100% on Boom Boom Rocket, something i’ve been wanting for ages.
Here is todays breakdown.
GS Before today: 95,766
GS Now: 96,456
Total GS gain: 690
GS remaining till 100,000: 3544
GS needed per day: 209
See, a good day had by me. Will make up for tomorrow as i’m going to be quite busy 
In my wonderful wisdom, having watched Abooie and Nokkon succesfully reach 100k, I decided I should probably join them as well, and so thought of this little challenge for myself.
As it stands, I have a gamerscore of 95,766 which is pretty good. To get 100,000 by Christmas, I need 4,234 points. Christmas is 18 days away at the moment, meaning I need at least 236 points per day to make it. It seems a very workable challenge, and i’ll try and update everyday on how i’m doing, or at least every few days.
As it stands as of 22:00 7/12/2009
Current Score: 95,766
Total to reach goal: 4,234
Points needed per day: 236
Target for 22:00 8/12/09: 96,100
I don’t know why I torture myself like this. I know i’m not brilliant at RPG’s, yet I still try to play them.
Ok, so maybe i’m slightly better at Western RPG’s the JRPG’s (less collection involved (looks at Blue Dragon, Lost Odyessey etc)) but I still have never really played one properly (i’m not counting Oblivion). After a conversation with Abooie about a doable RPG, we came up with Sacred, as it’s mainly story progression with a small amount of searching for things.
I picked it up on Friday and got straight to it, but things didn’t go quite to plan. After a couple of hours, I was bored and was wondering why I was finding it so hard to progress, and lost a lot of motivation, and put it aside for the night. I tried again for a bit yesterday, but came to the same problem, and once again, put it to the side. I gave it another shot today, and within minutes had discovered my problem.
Too many JRPGS had warped me, and i’d completely forgotten about skill trees. Now, after going up 17 levels, you get a suprising amount of points build up. The gooid thing is that I hadn’t assigned them as I instantly went to find a build guide for my character. It’s now working a charm, over the course of today, i’ve doubled my play time, and doubled my quest completetion. I’m now up to 13 hours and over 100 quests complete. I’m not even a quarter of the way through the story, and achievements will show I don’t actually have a single story progression achievement. This game is big.
I suspect that it will be the first RPG I 1k, and then hopefully it’ll kick me into gear to get some more. I know I can do Lost Odyessey, but Treasure Trove is the stumbling block, and Blue Dragon will be a very long slog, but it should hopefully be done in the next few months…maybe. I’ll be picking up Dragon Age: Origins when i’m done with Sacreds first playthrough and attempting to 1k that. Should be fun.
