the dren's Xbox - May 25 2013
When you want to get on the cover of the gaming magazines, you have to play every day! I keep telling the dren that as motivation... yesterday it worked! We went for a spin... played some games... ended with a score of 108,470. He rallied Angry Birds, Microsoft Taptiles, Red Dead Redemption, and then he tried to watch TV, but I killed the power... If I can't have him, no one can.
Good thing the dren and I got some play time in! Every day we play is another opportunity to catch up to Fshguy and that 344,416 gamerscore!
Hey, I almost forgot! The gamerscore challenge that the dren is competing in is on day 3 and we're doing our best to win this thing. Follow every up and down over here. 9 other competitors are racking up achievements and powering up their gamerscores, hoping to secure a victory! Out of all those people, the dren is currently parked at number 9. However there are still 2 days left to score achievement glory. Let's get to the top of that challenge board! Go!

I thought the dren just wanted to listen to music or watch a DVD. Turns out he was there to game. With a gamer score of 108,470, I should have known that was the case. He rallied Angry Birds, Microsoft Taptiles, Deadliest Warrior, Modern Warfare® 3, and then the dren went to get some food. I told him to bring me back something but I got seriously dissed.
Oh, guess what? Our gamerscore challenge is going strong... Let me link you to the daily updates and trash talking. There are 9 other people rocking out on this thing which keeps it fun. the dren has the number 8 spot... And while we have 3 days left, let's not procrastinate. Pick up that controller and get to unlockin'!
the dren's Xbox - May 23 2013
the dren showed up yesterday, which is good cause we make a great gaming team. I do millions of calculations a second and he pushes buttons! Our gamerscore is 108,470. He rocked out to Angry Birds, Microsoft Taptiles, Pinball FX2, and oh... remember to check out my avatar. Isn't he looking awesome lately?
And..... guess what? I will reveal the latest gamerscore challenge status to you as a matter of public record. Let me link you to the daily updates and trash talking. 9 other people are mixing it up, meaning fierce competition and some creative trash talk. Out of all those people, the dren is currently parked at number 7. But, there are still 4 long days left! We need to keep heading for the top!
the dren's Xbox - May 22 2013
the dren showed up yesterday ready to dominate. Total gamer score stands at 108,470. That is an increase of 180 points over last time! He made some progress on Virtua Fighter 2 adding 5 achievements to complete the game, and then the dren went to get some food. I told him to bring me back something but I got seriously dissed.
Oh, I don't know if the dren wants me to mention that he has joined a gamerscore challenge! It is called 'Auto Challenge - #93857'. Go check it.
the dren's Xbox - May 21 2013
I saw the dren walk by yesterday morning... I was hoping he would come play and he did. 108,290 points and climbing. That is a gain of 290 points over last time! He played Microsoft Taptiles, NCAA® Football 07 acquiring 4 achievements, Quake 4, Green Lantern adding 1 achievement, Virtua Fighter 2 gaining an amazing 7 achievements, and then... oh wait... no and then!!
Also, remember the challenge that the dren was participating in? It has wrapped up. the dren didn't manage to get the win... but I guess number 2 is better than number LAST!!... wait... maybe we are last? How many people are in this thing? Can I count? That's ok though... at least playing against the other 2 gamers was enough incentive to get more points! I like points.
the dren's Weekly Recap - May 20 2013
It is that time of the week. I got your weekly recap right here: It is a good one! the dren had seven days of gaming! In a row! I know! Crazy! I feel like i'm bragging when I say our score climbed 630 points last week... insanity! I guess that is what completing 36 achievements can do!
Out of all the possible new games we could have tried this last week, the dren and I only tried one of them: Team Crossword. Pretty fun I guess... Also, I think we can all agree that the dren's favorite game last week was Modern Warfare® 3. He played it on 5 of the days.
And that is the news for now... Check back next week... same bat time, same bat channel...
the dren's Xbox - May 20 2013
the dren held the Xbox button on his controller down for a few seconds and our adventure began! A gamer score of 108,000 is lighting the way. That is a profit of 405 points over last time! We have now entered the 108,000 GS club! He played NCAA® Football 07 finishing an amazing 25 achievements, and before I even realized it, he was finished and I was sad. In the now-you-know department, I really thought that gaming 2460 days in a row would hurt... but it actually felt good... it felt warm... like butter straight out of the microwave.
This is really good stuff... the more we play, the more chances we have to leave cluskevird in the dust. Call me crazy, but a 33,436 point cushion is not nearly enough for me...
And..... guess what? I will reveal the latest gamerscore challenge status to you as a matter of public record. Follow every up and down over here. There are 2 other people involved. I didn't know the dren even knew that many people. Currently, the dren is setting the pace, though, jumping into the lead and hoping to hold on through the end of the challenge. We only have to hang on one more day too and the win is ours!
the dren's Xbox - May 19 2013
the dren is the best... he treats me right, I treat him right. It is a good thing we have going here. Gamer score stands at 107,595. Not too shabby! That is a gain of 90 points over last time! He played Shuffle Party, Deadliest Warrior acquiring 5 achievements, COD: Black Ops II, and then... yeah... that was awesome...
Oh, guess what? Our gamerscore challenge is going strong... If you want to follow along at home, catch the action here. 2 other people are mixing it up, meaning fierce competition and some creative trash talk. the dren has the number 2 spot... However there are still 2 days left to score achievement glory. Let's get to the top of that challenge board! Go!
the dren's Xbox - May 18 2013
I heard someone tell the dren to go play outside and he was like 'screw that!' so we did some gaming. Our gamerscore is currently 107,505 points. That is an improvement of 45 points over last time! He played Angry Birds, Modern Warfare® 3, COD: Black Ops II winning 3 achievements, Texas Hold'em, Deadliest Warrior, and then the dren went to get some food. I told him to bring me back something but I got seriously dissed.
Oh, also... we're probably going to see a lot more of the dren over the next few days as well. It is because he is in a gamerscore challenge titled 'raitchisons 2013 Viral Challenge #5'. BRING IT ON!
the dren's Xbox - May 17 2013
the dren needed a friend like me yesterday... I could see it in his eyes. I am there for you brother. Remember that. Gamer score is 107,460. He played Modern Warfare® 3, Angry Birds, Microsoft Taptiles, and yeah... wow... my processor hurts...
Hey, remember that challenge I was talking about a few days ago? The one called 'raitchisons 2013 Viral Challenge #4'? It came to a close today. We scraped and clawed our way through a bunch of achievements, but fell shy of the lead, landing at number 4. You know what though? My father, the original Xbox, always said, 'Another day, another challenge.' We'll get 'em next time, the dren!
the dren's Xbox - May 16 2013
I told the dren 'Hey man, it is time to play games' and YAY! he listened! Gamer score is 107,460. He opened up Angry Birds, Modern Warfare® 3, Microsoft Taptiles, and wished it would never end, but it did and that was sad.
Did I mention the gamerscore challenge that the dren is competing in? Don't take my word for it! See for yourself! 3 other people are mixing it up, meaning fierce competition and some creative trash talk. Currently the dren is hanging on to the number 4 spot. While we're sad we can only compete for one more day, it means we can pull out all the stops to achieve complete victory!
the dren's Xbox - May 15 2013
Oh man, the dren was totally in the gaming zone yesterday when he fired me up to play. 107,460 points of total gamerscore doesn't do his skills justice. He made some progress on Angry Birds, Texas Hold'em, Team Crossword, Microsoft Taptiles, Modern Warfare® 3, and wished it would never end, but it did and that was sad.
Good thing the dren and I got some play time in! Every day we play is another opportunity to catch up to SmokenRocket and that 317,637 gamerscore!
Oh and it is time for a gamerscore challenge update... listen up... Bookmark this link now and check out all the action! There are 3 other people playing along as well... they better watch out. Currently the dren is hanging on to the number 4 spot. We just have to keep plugging away at it for these next 2 days... insert game... push buttons... get points.
the dren's Xbox - May 14 2013
the dren is making me proud and his opponents jealous... even if they are bots or mindless AI sometimes! Check out the 107,460 gamer score! That is a boost of 90 points over last time! He rocked out to Microsoft Taptiles, Modern Warfare® 3 acquiring 3 achievements, Texas Hold'em, and oh... man was it ever sweet!
Also, the dren went and accepted a gamerscore challenge, so I'm stocking up on coffee for the overtime I'll be working over the coming days. Check it out... the challenge is called 'raitchisons 2013 Viral Challenge #4'.
the dren's Weekly Recap - May 13 2013
Ok, here it is... your weekly recap of gaming: If your Xbox is depressed, try playing seven days in a row like the dren did last week. It has a way of making you a bit giddy... Our gamerscore jumped 50 points which was nice. Getting 4 achievements has that effect. Also, I think we can all agree that the dren's favorite game last week was Wordament. He played it on 7 of the days.
And that's it... short and sweet, just like my power cord.
the dren's Xbox - May 13 2013
the dren decided to play yesterday. Check out the 107,370 gamer score! He made some progress on Microsoft Taptiles, Fruit Ninja, Modern Warfare® 3, Texas Hold'em, and then I came out of my trance and realized it was all over.
Oh hey, remember the challenge that the dren was in? It has come to an end. I hear first place is nice this time of year, though I really wouldn't know, since we didn't get there in this challenge. Lucky for us, we can jump right into another challenge and compete for a bigger win. Plus, it just means more time spent on our favorite games and a bigger gamerscore! I guess we won something after all!
the dren's Xbox - May 12 2013
Pick it, pack it fire it up, come along, lets get the dren's gaming on! Gamer score is 107,370. That is a profit of 30 points over last time! He made some progress on Microsoft Taptiles, Plants vs. Zombies, Modern Warfare® 3 gaining 2 achievements, and almost cried with joy. I have that effect on people.
Oh BTW, did you know that the dren is competing in a gamerscore challenge? Don't take my word for it! See for yourself! There are 9 other people in the chase as well... so it's pretty cool. Currently the dren is hanging on to the number 7 spot. We only have one day to pull out a win... polish off those games and get to work.
the dren's Xbox - May 11 2013
the dren was looking kind of weepy... luckily I was here to 'console' him... heh heh get it? Our gamerscore is fan-frickin-tastic 107,340 . He opened up Angry Birds, Microsoft Taptiles, Modern Warfare® 3, and I think there was some random Live Marketplace browsing, but I wasn't paying attention.
I always like to end with a little bit about the dren and the ongoing gamerscore challenge status. If you want to follow along at home, catch the action here. 9 other people are also involved... which is madness. Out of everyone, the dren is holding on to the number 7 spot. We just have to keep plugging away at it for these next 2 days... insert game... push buttons... get points.
the dren's Xbox - May 10 2013
I thought maybe the power was out yesterday... imagine my surprise when the dren hit the switches! Gamerscore stands at 107,340. He made some progress on Monster Island, Microsoft Taptiles, Modern Warfare® 3, and it's a good thing he stopped there, otherwise the concentrated awesomeness could have blown out my circuits. It is worth mentioning that we have played 2450 days in a row!
This is really good stuff... the more we play, the more chances we have to prevent CMorrigu from leaving us in the dust. Call me crazy, but that 28,646 point deficit is totally doable...
And..... guess what? I will reveal the latest gamerscore challenge status to you as a matter of public record. Here is the link: check it. 9 other competitors are racking up achievements and powering up their gamerscores, hoping to secure a victory! the dren has the number 5 spot... We just have to keep plugging away at it for these next 3 days... insert game... push buttons... get points.
the dren's Xbox - May 9 2013

He played Wordament finishing 1 achievement to master the game, Microsoft Taptiles, Toy Soldiers, Wordament gaining 1 achievement to finish the game, and then... oh wait... no and then!!
I also want to mention/remind you that the dren is participating in a pretty slamming gamerscore challenge. Check out the progress right now! If I was you, I'd subscribe to the trash talk RSS feed for this one - 9 other competitors are battling with their skills and egos. Out of all those people, the dren is currently parked at number 2. But, there are still 4 long days left! We need to keep heading for the top!
the dren's Xbox - May 8 2013
Pick it, pack it fire it up, come along, lets get the dren's gaming on! Gamer score is 107,320. He rallied Microsoft Taptiles, Wreckateer, Pinball FX2, and wished it would never end, but it did and that was sad.

the dren's Xbox - May 7 2013
the dren likes to game, I like to game, this is a match made in heaven! It takes a gamer score like 107,320 to be as cool as him. He played Monster Island, Microsoft Taptiles, Pinball FX2, and then... oh wait... no and then!!
the dren's Weekly Recap - May 6 2013
Ok, here it is... your weekly recap of gaming: You can't ask for a better week than when the dren shows up to play Seven days in a row!! It was productive... Gamerscore went up 150 points so I am happy. Yay for 10 achievements! w00t!
For the record, we played 2 new games over the last week. They were Monster Island, and Shuffle Party. They were all fun... in their own little ways. Also, by my expert calculations, the dren's favorite game last week was Monster Island. He played it on 7 of the days.
So that's it. Thanks for reading. PM us for a game or something. We get lonely.
the dren's Xbox - May 6 2013
the dren really threw down yesterday. It was good to see! I wish you could have been there! Last time I checked, his gamer score is 107,320. That is an increase of 20 points over last time! He rallied Shuffle Party, Microsoft Taptiles adding 2 achievements, Monster Island, and then nothing... nothing at all...
Oh, remember the challenge that the dren was competing in? Well, it's over. I hear first place is nice this time of year, though I really wouldn't know, since we didn't get there in this challenge. But, there is always next time I guess... A special thanks to the other 9 people in the competion. Good times.

the dren really threw down yesterday. It was good to see! I wish you could have been there! Last time I checked, his gamer score is 107,300. That is an increase of 30 points over last time! He played Madden NFL 07 gaining 2 achievements, and before I even realized it, he was finished and I was sad.
This is really good stuff... the more we play, the more chances we have to leave Smutzig in the dust. Call me crazy, but a 51,123 point cushion is not nearly enough for me...

There are 9 other people rocking out on this thing which keeps it fun. Out of all those people, the dren is currently parked at number 4. We've only got one day left.
