Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the fourth annual Buffet Challenge!
TRACKING PAGE HERE
This year's challenge is won by adding 26,000 gamerscore from across the 32 recognized genres. The hitch is that each genre will cap at 1,000 points. So for instance, no matter how many sports games you play, only 1,000 sports points will be attributed towards the 26,000 total. Note that you do not need to score the full 1,000 in 26 different genres; the only requirement is that your total score out of a possible 32,000 points reaches 26,000.
Rules:
1. Only the games associated with genres on 360voice count towards the total.
2. Gamerscore which you already have at the start of the launch date will be recorded and you will need to ADD to that total.
3. In the event of a genre update, gamerscore will once again be recorded and new games will be eligible to be played. For example, if you already have 400 points in Ghost Recon: Future Soldier and it gets added to the Modern Shooter genre, you may add 600 points but the 400 does not count. If you have not played the game at all at that point, you may try for the full 1,000.
4. In the event that a genre is added, it will be part of this challenge, making it easier to reach the 26,000 target.

Oh, I know, and you have the right priorities, I was just teasing. And actually it would probably be pretty easy for
me to do that with a new account, seeing as there are a lot of easy games for a lot of the genres that I could play.
Isn't that what you did on your main account?
What he's forgetting to tell you is if he does that again it's di-vorce city.
If I did it on a new account I could use some of the ones I used last year (or in the HERBIE or something), which are faster and/or easier than some that I used this year. Combine that with the experience of having played them, and I could probably finish even faster. Though I think I sold some of those games to Best Buy during the double-trade-in-value event.
...but yeah, my wife probably wouldn't be happy with that. And I've got my priorities straight too  . She's rather happy that I'm (mostly) done with competitions...though she did play Lego Rock Band, Kinect Adventures, and Family Game Night 3 with me. |

With Skyline out of the way I can now focus on beating pTart for 3rd!
I was just about to ask if anyone ever got 3rd place in this. I still have an 800 point card for them.
Maybe I'll have to win it.
Send it to me, and I'll consider giving you 3rd... |

I didn't realize I was that close..... I'm so ready to be done with this and go on a DW frenzy |
