Boards.ie XMas Gamerscore Challenge

AdMMM

Continuing on a (year old) tradition, I'd like to introduce the Boards.ie Xmas Gamerscore Challenge which is open to all Boards.ie members.

If you've took part in one of these before, then you know what to do (scroll down for the link to join). If you haven't, then the goal is simple; try and score as much achievement points over the Christmas period.

bucks73

Im in again.

dazftw

My gamerscore has gotten to a snails pace the last few months with college.. I might just enter for the fun :rolleyes:

Would this be starting on christmas day going on stephens day? or christmas eve going on christmas day?

corcaigh07

i joined but wont be near the top

Kenny_D

I would but after the last one I think I'll stay out. I'll get too addicted and end up playing ****e games for score and I've way too many good games to work through over xmas first. Oh and i'm hooked on borderlands so prob wont be playing much else for a while

AdMMM

Starting on 24th - 25th... when you can officially take the wrapping off those games

This is a great idea. Won't be playing much of my xbox over Christmas as I have to go visit family up in Dublin and I'll be heading out and about most nights. Plus all you have to do is look at my poor gamerscore below. Im embarassed when I come on here and see some peoples scores .

Good luck to all involved.

Mr Moon

I'm a score whore so I'll join up for the laugh, don't think I'll get many points though!

Sure it's only a bit of fun!

Pif,...

I've got like 1,860 out of a possible 30k, had the xbox over 2 years now aswell :eek:

- Drav!

AdMMM

Well there's no harm in joining. I'll be rocking out to Rock Band 2 so won't be improving my score by all that much!

silvine

I'm in but the winner last year scored nearly 10,000 points in about two weeks. It took me a year to get that many!

docdolittle

Wow... a whole 5 people so far :rolleyes:

would be pointless me going for it... got a stack of games to go through as well...

But with Work...

i got stuff to do tonight to wrap up the whole "Christmas" thing...

Working a 2nd job tomorrow night...

... Getting drunk the night after that...

... Folks till Sunday...

Working Second Job again Sunday...

... Scheduled to pass out on Monday!

back in work Tuesday

If i'm lucky I might get the time to install a game onto the HDD later...

... aw screw it.... I'm in... I might be able to find some moments *cough* here and there... Have a few FPS's i might be able to breeze through

When does this yolk expire though?

- Drav!

Y2J_MUFC

I'll join up for the laugh. I don't go for achievements generally, but if they happen, they happen!

My gamer score is rubbish, seeing as I lost my old profile about 18 months or more ago. Had to start a new one. On the bright side, I've a load of games that people have bought me..Batman AA, Forza 3, Modern Warfare 2, Smackdown vs Raw 10, Godfather 2. Bought Madden 10 and Mirrors Edge myself.

Edit: Ah, I forgot my gold membership expired... may buy a new one. I'm sure my crappy 3 modem will do for recording my gamerscore (although it does randomly disconnect) until I get my proper broadband sorted after Christmas. Watch it disconnect every time i get an achievement!

AdMMM

As long as you connect to Xbox Live once a day, there'll be no problems with it recording your score. In the interests of fairness though, if you do happen to be making good progress, please let us know in the shoutbox on the Challenge page if you're unable to connect Live for a while.

docdolittle

Ah there is no point in playing lads, apparently I win :pac:

I knew some eejit would say that

You starting this up so AdMMM?

AdMMM

Started now. It'll start recording score in 4 hours time. Merry Christmas and good luck!

jk86

Is it too late to join this? Tried, but nothing seems to be happening

AdMMM

Sorry, started at midnight and doesn't allow for new entrants . You're free to join any other ones we run though!

jk86

Ah well, I could have saved someone the humiliation of coming last

Y2J_MUFC

Hmmm, just had a look at this now. The person with the highest increase is the winner? It says daz0rz (who has the highest gamer score overall) is the leader, but he doesn't have the biggest increase...?

AdMMM

It sorts itself out every day. I'm going to get started on Escape from Monkey Island at some point. None of my Christmas presents were dvd-box shaped so I haven't all that many games that I want to get through. Of course there's a stack of 20 games that I haven't even played yet but I want to enjoy Christmas and not be stuck in front of the TV playing terrible, terrible games!

bucks73

Thankfully I have Force Unleashed Sith Edition and Batman AA to play so will get down to those on Monday. Working tonight and out tomorrow night.

AdMMM

Some serious gaming or a bit of gay-ming (Avatar, anyone?) required to be in contention now. I think I'll start playing Nascar 09 for the night and see where that gets me. Used to love the sport but Nascar 08 was terrible and I bought 09 out of impulse!

Mr Freeze

so...who won???

Glad I wasn't the only one!

Jev/N

How many points did the winner end up with?

Funnily enough I wasn't going to enter as I had exams and no new games, and I'm still up a 400-500 gamerpoints since the date!

Y2J_MUFC

Ended up with +1730... ended up in a battle between me, Cableguy and Limerickred. I just about edged over the line in the end....

Who can I collect my bragging rights from? :o:o

corcaigh07

cool, thats some amount in just 2 weeks. well done ritchie!
