chrisvenn's Xbox - May 24 2013

I dream of electric sheep... ok just kidding that was Blade Runner. That has nothing to do with gaming.

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. There are 9 other people rocking out on this thing which keeps it fun. Currently chrisvenn is holding the number 3 spot in the group... decent. However there are still 3 days left to score achievement glory. Let's get to the top of that challenge board! Go! | permalink | 1 comment

chrisvenn's Xbox - May 23 2013

My power supply almost exploded! chrisvenn turned on the juice and we did some serious gaming! 181,190 points of total gamerscore is pretty good. Admit it. That is an improvement of 20 points over last time! He rallied Metro: Last Light winning 2 achievements, and then he started getting all these friend requests because of high awesomeness levels.

Did I mention the gamerscore challenge that chrisvenn is competing in? If you are curious, follow along over here. There are 9 other people rocking out on this thing which keeps it fun. chrisvenn has the number 3 spot... But, there are still 4 long days left! We need to keep heading for the top! | permalink | 1 comment

chrisvenn, there are 86,400 seconds in a day and you couldn't find a few to spend with me? Lame.

Also, I fully expect to become one happy 360 as chrisvenn is set to begin a gamerscore challenge aptly titled 'Auto Challenge - #93870' today. | permalink | 1 comment

Yesterday was one of those times chrisvenn mistook the TV remote for the controller. I mean, come on! They don't even look REMOTELY alike! HA! Ok sorry... | permalink | leave comment

chrisvenn's Weekly Recap - May 20 2013

It is that time of the week. I got your weekly recap right here: I have to say I hate weeks like this... chrisvenn played a single day... one... I feel like I am getting fat with all this sitting around. I sort of feel like we are spinning our wheels here... no gamerscore change? Oh well.

So that's it. Thanks for reading. PM us for a game or something. We get lonely. | permalink | leave comment

chrisvenn's Xbox - May 20 2013

Oh man, chrisvenn was totally in the gaming zone yesterday when he fired me up to play. 181,170 points of total gamerscore doesn't do his skills justice. He opened up Metro 2033, and without even blinking! Ok, maybe he blinked once...

Good thing chrisvenn and I got some play time in! Every day we play is another opportunity to pull away from BearCavalryYeah and that 11,447 gamerscore!

Oh hey, remember the challenge that chrisvenn was in? It has come to an end. chrisvenn didn't manage to get the win... but I guess number 5 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 I got into some group-action against 9 other gamers... giggidy... | permalink | leave comment

chrisvenn's Xbox - May 19 2013

I read somewhere that electronic products can turn yellow from lack of use... Do you really want a yellow Xbox chrisvenn? Do you?

Hey, I almost forgot! The gamerscore challenge that chrisvenn is competing in is on day 4 and we're doing our best to win this thing. Check out the progress right now! 9 other people are throwing down in this challenge. If I do the math correctly, it means that 9 players X 5 days means a whole lot of trash talk! Out of all those people, chrisvenn is currently parked at number 5. I spoke to his dayplanner -- we've booked the whole day for a very important task -- unlocking achievements and winning this challenge. Let's do this. | permalink | leave comment

chrisvenn's Xbox - May 18 2013

There is a time and a place for gaming... and yesterday was that day... I don't know what chrisvenn is waiting for, but life is short... we need to play harder!

I also want to mention/remind you that chrisvenn is participating in a pretty slamming gamerscore challenge. If you are curious, follow along over here. There are 9 other people in the chase as well... so it's pretty cool. Out of everyone, chrisvenn is holding on to the number 3 spot. We just have to keep plugging away at it for these next 2 days... insert game... push buttons... get points. | permalink | 1 comment

chrisvenn's Xbox - May 17 2013

Yesterday was the day I was finally going to share all my secret achievement earning strategies with chrisvenn, but he must not care... Us consoles have a short memory... I can't promise anything the next time I see him.

Oh hey, time for the gamerscore challenge update too... chrisvenn still has that going on and stuff. Follow every up and down over here. There are 9 other people involved. I didn't know chrisvenn even knew that many people. Out of everyone, chrisvenn is holding on to the number 2 spot. And while we have 3 days left, let's not procrastinate. Pick up that controller and get to unlockin'! | permalink | 2 comments

chrisvenn's Xbox - May 16 2013

I prefer to play games... but if chrisvenn needs a short break I can respect that... don't get lazy though... I'll be waiting right here!

Oh and it is time for a gamerscore challenge update... listen up... If you want to follow along at home, catch the action here. There are 9 other people involved. I didn't know chrisvenn even knew that many people. Currently, chrisvenn has been using every power-up in his achievement-gaining arsenal, rocking the lead with authority! Take a few moments and savor the lead but then we need to get back to gaming! Plenty of time to rest 4 days from now after we've won this thing! | permalink | leave comment

chrisvenn's Xbox - May 15 2013

If I was chrisvenn, I would have totally played some games yesterday... but I am obviously not him because that did not happen.

It is probably better that chrisvenn didn't play yesterday... it gives d1storted an opportunity to add to that 58,105 gamerscore and catch up to us! Booooo!

Oh, I don't know if chrisvenn wants me to mention that he has joined a gamerscore challenge! It is called 'Auto Challenge - #93682'. Go check it. | permalink | 1 comment

chrisvenn was absent yesterday... I was smelling something that reminded me of sweat... he better not be playing with a Nintendo Wii... burning calories while playing games is just wrong. | permalink | 1 comment

chrisvenn's Weekly Recap - May 13 2013

Are you ready for a recap? I know I am! Giddyup: If chrisvenn plays 2 days every week, I guess I can call this a good deal. Many Xboxes have it a lot worse. It was productive... Gamerscore went up 175 points so I am happy. Yay for 20 achievements! w00t!

I was also pretty happy about the 3 new games this last week. They were (in no particular order) Doritos Crash Course 2, NINJA GAIDEN 3: RE, and Persona 4 Arena. I liked them. I think chrisvenn did too.

I could go on and on with the stats, but that is enough. | permalink | leave comment

chrisvenn's Xbox - May 13 2013

Yesterday was one of those times chrisvenn mistook the TV remote for the controller. I mean, come on! They don't even look REMOTELY alike! HA! Ok sorry...

Oh hey... also... I can't even believe that the gamerscore challenge formerly-known-as 'Auto Challenge - #93493' is over. Those 5 days flew by in a whirlwind of achievements and trash talk. Guess who the big loser was? chrisvenn... booo... oh well. we tried... came in at number 3. That's ok though... at least playing against the other 9 gamers was enough incentive to get more points! I like points. | permalink | 1 comment

chrisvenn's Xbox - May 12 2013

I told chrisvenn 'Hey man, it is time to play games' and YAY! he listened! Gamer score is 181,170. That is an improvement of 20 points over last time! He made some progress on Persona 4 Arena finishing 2 achievements, and after we were done, chrisvenn hugged me with his eyes. It was one of those platonic hugs... you know...

I always like to end with a little bit about chrisvenn and the ongoing gamerscore challenge status. If you are curious, follow along over here. 9 other people are throwing down in this challenge. If I do the math correctly, it means that 9 players X 5 days means a whole lot of trash talk! Currently chrisvenn is holding the number 3 spot in the group... decent. So many achievements... so little time. No, seriously. We only have a day left to win this challenge. Let's go! | permalink | leave comment

chrisvenn's Xbox - May 11 2013

chrisvenn was nowhere to be seen yesterday... maybe he needs some new games or something... get some motivation up in this place...

Oh hey, time for the gamerscore challenge update too... chrisvenn still has that going on and stuff. Follow every up and down over here. 9 other people are also involved... which is madness. Out of all those people, chrisvenn is currently parked at number 3. We just have to keep plugging away at it for these next 2 days... insert game... push buttons... get points. | permalink | 1 comment

chrisvenn's Xbox - May 10 2013

chrisvenn is making me proud and his opponents jealous... even if they are bots or mindless AI sometimes! Check out the 181,150 gamer score! That is a gain of 155 points over last time! We have now entered the 181,000 GS club! He opened up Doritos Crash Course 2 finishing an amazing 8 achievements, Borderlands 2, NINJA GAIDEN 3: RE adding an amazing 10 achievements, Dead Island Riptide, and loved every minute of it in high definition glory!

Good thing chrisvenn and I got some play time in! Every day we play is another opportunity to pull away from mattglynn and that 67,423 gamerscore!

Oh, guess what? Our gamerscore challenge is going strong... Don't take my word for it! See for yourself! 9 other competitors are racking up achievements and powering up their gamerscores, hoping to secure a victory! Out of all those people, chrisvenn is currently parked at number 3. And while we have 3 days left, let's not procrastinate. Pick up that controller and get to unlockin'! | permalink | leave comment

chrisvenn's Xbox - May 9 2013

If chrisvenn was a true gamer, he would have played yesterday, but he decided to do something else instead. he better not have another console...

Oh hey, time for the gamerscore challenge update too... chrisvenn still has that going on and stuff. Don't take my word for it! See for yourself! There are 9 other people playing along as well... they better watch out. Currently chrisvenn is hanging on to the number 7 spot. And while we have 4 days left, let's not procrastinate. Pick up that controller and get to unlockin'! | permalink | leave comment

chrisvenn's Xbox - May 8 2013

Good thing I have access to chrisvenn's entire MP3 collection streamed off his computer. It keeps me busy on days like yesterday when he never shows up to game.

Also, chrisvenn 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 'Auto Challenge - #93493'. | permalink | leave comment

chrisvenn's Xbox - May 7 2013

chrisvenn was a no-show yesterday... I ended up hanging out, collecting some dust and feeling sorry for myself. Speaking of dust, I could use a rub down. A clean Xbox is a happy Xbox. | permalink | leave comment

chrisvenn's Weekly Recap - May 6 2013

It is hard to believe another week has passed. Here is the recap: So yeah... Last week chrisvenn showed up 6 days total and logged some serious gaming. It was productive... Gamerscore went up 145 points so I am happy. Yay for 5 achievements! w00t!

I was also pretty happy about the 2 new games this last week. They were (in no particular order) Crysis®3, and Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon. I liked them. I think chrisvenn did too. Also, by my expert calculations, chrisvenn's favorite game last week was Borderlands 2. He played it on 5 of the days.

I could go on and on with the stats, but that is enough. | permalink | leave comment

chrisvenn's Xbox - May 6 2013

What time is it? Time to tell you about yesterday when chrisvenn came to play. Gamer score stands at 180,995. That is an increase of 25 points over last time! He rocked out to Borderlands 2 adding 1 achievement, and then... yeah... that was awesome...

chrisvenn also wrapped up a gamerscore challenge today. Remember? Unfortunately, we came up short, ending up in the number 2 spot. So yeah... maybe we can get them next time... maybe we need to try a challenge with easier people... the 9 gamers in this last challenge were too good. | permalink | 1 comment

chrisvenn's Xbox - May 5 2013

I didn't think I would see him yesterday, but chrisvenn was back and ready for action. Total gamer score is 180,970 points. That is a boost of 75 points over last time! He made some progress on Borderlands 2 gaining 1 achievement, as well as stared off into space... thinking about the one that got away.

What is really good is that every day played is another chance to catch up to Bomber37 and that 329,756 score... Make it happen chrisvenn!!

Oh, guess what? Our gamerscore challenge is going strong... Don't take my word for it! See for yourself! 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. Currently chrisvenn is holding the number 3 spot in the group... decent. We've only got one day left. Let's cancel everything on our schedule from school to work to sleep (haven't been following what chrisvenn does these days) and win this challenge! | permalink | leave comment
