marathondad's Xbox - May 22 2013

marathondad is making me proud and his opponents jealous... even if they are bots or mindless AI sometimes! Check out the 114,567 gamer score! He rallied Minecraft, Borderlands 2, and did it while marvelling at the framerates and stellar particle effects.

Oh, also... we're probably going to see a lot more of marathondad over the next few days as well. It is because he is in a gamerscore challenge titled 'Auto Challenge - #93814'. BRING IT ON! | permalink | leave comment

marathondad's Xbox - May 21 2013

marathondad likes to game, I like to game, this is a match made in heaven! It takes a gamer score like 114,567 to be as cool as him. He rocked out to Minecraft, Borderlands 2, and loved every minute of it in high definition glory! | permalink | leave comment

marathondad's Weekly Recap - May 20 2013

Another week, another recap... and you love me for it: It is a good one! marathondad had seven days of gaming! In a row! I know! Crazy! Our gamerscore saw a 170 point boost which is good. I guess that is what completing 16 achievements can do!

I was lucky enough to sample 3 new tasty treats during the week! Game names are Army of TWO™: TDC, Monster Island, and Sanctum 2. Look for us in the leaderboards... maybe... Also, according to the records, marathondad'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

marathondad's Xbox - May 20 2013

You would think I had died and gone to heaven when marathondad showed up to play. Gamer score stands at 114,567. He rocked out to Minecraft, LEGO® Pirates, Borderlands 2, and it's a good thing he stopped there, otherwise the concentrated awesomeness could have blown out my circuits.

Oh hey, remember the challenge that marathondad was in? It has come to an end. Guess who the big loser was? marathondad... booo... oh well. we tried... came in at number 6. We may have lost, but we're no quitters. Nothing is over until we say it is! We're going to dust off that controller, hold our head high and get our game on! We're marching right into another challenge and this time, we'll be taking home the gold! At least I think that is the plan... | permalink | leave comment

Crazy humans...

Oh, guess what? Our gamerscore challenge is going strong... There's so much action in this one, you may pay for the whole seat, but you'll only need the edge!!111! Witness the spectacle. There are 9 other people involved. I didn't know marathondad even knew that many people. Out of everyone, marathondad is holding on to the number 4 spot.

Like a king on his throne, marathondad said 'awaken' and for him I did comply. 114,402 points represents the size of our growing kingdom. Ok, enough of this Monarchy stuff. He opened up Minecraft, Borderlands 2, and loved every minute of it in high definition glory!

marathondad's Xbox - May 14 2013

I told marathondad 'Don't make me hurt you!' and the threat worked because he decided to show up yesterday. A gamer score of 114,402 is in our back pocket. That is a gain of 5 points over last time! He opened up Doritos Crash Course 2, Runner2 picking up 1 achievement, Minecraft, and I thought marathondad injured himself in the process... but I was wrong... he lives to fight another day! | permalink | leave comment

marathondad's Weekly Recap - May 13 2013

Another week, another recap... and you love me for it: It is a good one! marathondad had seven days of gaming! In a row! I know! Crazy! Our gamerscore saw a 450 point boost which is good. I guess that is what completing 19 achievements can do!

I was also pretty happy about the 5 new games this last week. They were (in no particular order) Doritos Crash Course 2, Monaco, Monster Burner, Serious Sam 3: BFE, and Serious Sam DD XXL. I liked them. I think marathondad did too. Also, by my expert calculations, marathondad's favorite game last week was Minecraft. He played it on 6 of the days.

So that's it for now. It was a good week. On to the next one. | permalink | leave comment

He opened up Trials Evolution, Rayman 3 HD adding 1 achievement, Minecraft, Assassin's Creed® III, and after that powered me down without even saying good night. I mean what the heck?
