Daily Update 8/31 – Perception

Just 115 G away from 750,000 now….

and I’m sitting here racking my brain for ideas on a video, all day I’ve been drawing blanks. It needs to be something I’m not sinking days into like the last one. A very slow day for me gamerscore wise but a good week overall because I’ve been able to game a ton more since Cindy started school back up, she has a lot less time for demanded late night snuggles. HAAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAAH. Dudes with the long time girlfriends or wives feel me on that.

The whole gang was aboard to record Ep56 of the Gamerscore Popcast, so keep your eyes peeled for that on Sunday. I also did something super secret that I will not speak on until it happens. If there’s one thing I’m getting use to during this journey, it’s being let down. Nothing ever seems to meet my expectations or go according to plan. This super secret is already not going down exactly as I expected. That’s another issue I’ll have to save for the book.

Here’s the video I made for Half-Million back in 2010.


I got my first capture card the night before and slapped this video together a few hours after hitting the mark. Certainly not my best video but 500,000 was the most satisfying milestone for me so far. It just felt damn good.

I’ve caught onto internet haters over the years, been around the block and back with them. Some people will just hate because I don’t reply to them, it’s quite funny. If I got pissed at all the people that never replied to me, I’d have a big list of people I would hate, but I don’t. I absolutely can’t please everybody, but then again, I’m not doing anything to piss anyone off that I know of. So why should I care? There are things you can control and then there are things you cannot control. This is one of those instances.

But here’s the M.O. of an internet hater, in my specific case.

How the hate starts and ends.

1) HAX, Mod, there’s no way you got that score legit
Once they figure out that isn’t true they move on to
2) You must be a fat ass and have no life
Once they figure this is also false
3) THIS DUDE NEEDS TO GET LAID
Wrong again
4) Gamerscore is just meaningless
Then why did you go through the previous steps to hate on me and wait until now to say this? I think you really think gamerscore is awesome but you just hate me for reasons you won’t share.
5) He has to be a team of people
Dead wrong again. I’m the real deal and the sooner you get that fact into your head, we can move onto the next phase.
6) You have a huge ego and/or you are an asshole.
I think these people know down to their cores that I’m clean as a whistle, so they reach for something, anything, to throw at me.
And you know me how? The internet world is a lot different than the real world and just because I happen to have the largest score, doesn’t automatically make me fit your perception of me.

Trueachievement posted about my pending 750k on their facebook page. This is what got me started on the haters. The comments had me rolling. Check that out HERE. This is on a Facebook page of a site dedicated for achievement hunters. You might end up playing beach volleyball if you do check it out, it’s a real Sandy Vagina festival up in that peace.

Daily Update 8/30: Stop and Smell The Roses

Thoughts on all the games I played and achievements I unlocked on Thursday, August 30, 2012.


Earlier today I hit exactly 749,000, 1k away from the 750k milestone. I wasn’t trying to, nor did I even know I was close. I just hit my guide and there I was, precisely 1k away. Had to take a pic.

Then I noticed my profile was acting kinda funny – My score was off and all the messages were missing. I decided it was about time to download my profile. 


As most of you know, you can download your profile a zillion times faster now. Doing this made my achievements pop ON TIME and not 15 seconds late. It was strange seeing them pop so fast.

I’m currently 625 gamerscore shy of the Three-Quarters of a Million mark. When I hit these milestones it’s the only time I get to stop and smell the roses. So, I’m literally going to chop a few dozen roses up and snort them as if I were Keith Richards offspring. Not really. But what I will do is get started on making a video for the milestone, that will give me a chance to reflect and enjoy the moment. We’ll see what happens. 

Stallion in the hole…

Daily Update 8-29: Long Road Ahead

Lions & Zombies & Snipers….Oh My!

The games I played and the achievements I unlocked.

Sniper Elite V2

LAST PLAYED 8/29/2012
1000/1000

ACHIEVEMENTS

41/41

Sniper Elite V2 takes roughly 15-20 hours for the full 1k.


It was a fun little sniping game, and if you’re a fan of third-person shooters, I’d recommend checking it out. Worth a look just for the awesome Slow Motion kills.

Madden NFL 13

LAST PLAYED 8/29/2012
155/1000

ACHIEVEMENTS

7/42

I only played a couple of games but I like how Kinect functions with the game. You say “HIKE” and by golly, your QB will hike the ball. You say “SPIKE” and you will get in formation to spike the ball. This voice communication revolution makes more sense in football games, than it does in something like Mass Effect 3, at least to me. I actually use it, and it does make play calling easier to accomplish just by shouting at your TV.

There seems to be a noticeable graphical leap over last years offering, no doubt, an improvement in the  animations department, it just looks more realistic all-around. The stiff as a cats hind leg player models and animations are almost non-existent at this point. I’m really liking it so far, and for once during this entire generation, the Madden achievements won’t be a stroll in the park. You’ll have to work for this 1,000.

I still cannot believe a Detroit Lion is on the cover of Madden 13. And they said it wasn’t possible.

The Walking Dead

LAST PLAYED 8/29/2012
250/300

ACHIEVEMENTS

21/24

If you haven’t played a single episode of The Walking Dead yet, stop reading this and go download it from the marketplace. Only $5 per episode and they are most excellent. Seriously, go! Run!

I’m so in love with this stuff, I would ask it to be my Valentine everyday of the year.

Gaming goals for 8-29
1) Full 1,000 Gamerscore In Sniper Elite V2 – (YES SIR)
2) Finish The Walking Dead Episode 3 which will be 100 gamerscore – i  (Nope – chose health instead – stoopid health)
3) 800 gamerscore –  (Negative – 695 Gamerscore – close but no cigar)

Gaming goals for 8-30
1) A cool 1,000 G – Cause I’m a freaking moron

I’m less than 2,000 gamerscore from the big 750,000 milestone! Three-quarters or 75% to the 1,000,000 goal. 

I really want to make a video for 750k but I have no idea what to include. I also want it to be a grand achievement for the 750,000 but I have no clue what achievement to pop. If you have any ideas on either, please leave me a comment. The video will need to be done sometime this weekend if I do it. I’m at 55% FOR doing a video at the moment.

I talked about exercising and eating healthy a little yesterday so I’ll just lay out what I did today. 

50 Reps of 185 pounds Flat Bench Press
30 Reps of 205 pounds Flat Bench Press
20 Reps of 225 pounds Flat Bench Press
75 Dips
250 Push Ups
250 Sit Ups
And I ran a few miles at the park with Cindy. (Why I did’t complete The Walking Dead)
I’ll try my best to remember what I ate. 
Bagel, Banana and Two Cups of Coffee
Egg,Cheese and English Muffin (Egg McMuffin of sorts only not packed with a zillion calories and tons of fat) 
Banana Chocolate Chip Bar
Shrimp, Cucumber and Baked Beans.
Mixed Fruit, Salad and Cottage Cheese
Glass of Orange Juice
Water on top of Water

I think I ate one too many beans though.  

Have a good day, my friends.
