marklynx's Weekly Recap - May 20 2013

Another week, another recap... and you love me for it: If your Xbox is depressed, try playing seven days in a row like marklynx did last week. It has a way of making you a bit giddy... I feel like i'm bragging when I say our score climbed 1685 points last week... insanity! I guess that is what completing 75 achievements can do!

Out of all the possible new games we could have tried this last week, marklynx and I only tried one of them: Kung-Fu High Impact. Pretty fun I guess... Also, according to the records, marklynx's favorite game last week was Monsters Love Candy. He played it on 7 of the days.

And that is all I got... it's not much, but it is interesting. | permalink

marklynx's Xbox - May 20 2013

I thought marklynx just wanted to listen to music or watch a DVD. Turns out he was there to game. With a gamer score of 212,470, I should have known that was the case. That is an increase of 75 points over last time! He opened up Monsters Love Candy acquiring 1 achievement to defeat the game, Crash Time 5 gaining 1 achievement, and oh... remember to check out my avatar. Isn't he looking awesome lately?

marklynx also wrapped up a gamerscore challenge today. Remember? Despite 5 days and nights of gaming goodness though, we couldn't take the lead and ended up finishing at number 5. But, there is always next time I guess... A special thanks to the other 9 people in the competion. Good times. | permalink

marklynx's Xbox - May 19 2013

marklynx held the Xbox button on his controller down for a few seconds and our adventure began! A gamer score of 212,395 is lighting the way. That is an improvement of 285 points over last time! He rocked out to Doodle Jump, Crash Time 5 winning an amazing 12 achievements, Monsters Love Candy, and loved every minute of it in high definition glory!

Oh and it is time for a gamerscore challenge update... listen up... Follow every up and down 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! marklynx has the number 7 spot... With only one day left though, we need to make that last big push! | permalink

marklynx's Xbox - May 18 2013

marklynx must have heard my calling... I was practically startled when his greasy finger pounded my power button. I mean come on... be a little gentle... I am fragile. Just some helpful advice for someone with a 212,110 gamerscore. That is a gain of 100 points over last time! He opened up Home Run Stars, Just Dance: Disney finishing 5 achievements, Monsters Love Candy winning 1 achievement, WWE '13, Doodle Jump, Microsoft Taptiles, and oh... man was it ever sweet!

I always like to end with a little bit about marklynx and the ongoing gamerscore challenge status. Let me link you to the daily updates and trash talking. There are 9 other people playing along as well... they better watch out. Out of all those people, marklynx is currently parked at number 6. And while we have 2 days left, let's not procrastinate. Pick up that controller and get to unlockin'! | permalink

marklynx's Xbox - May 17 2013

I thought marklynx just wanted to listen to music or watch a DVD. Turns out he was there to game. With a gamer score of 212,010, I should have known that was the case. That is an improvement of 420 points over last time! Welcome to 212,000!! He made some progress on Winter Stars acquiring 1 achievement to complete the game, Monsters Love Candy, Kung-Fu High Impact picking up an amazing 15 achievements to defeat the game, and then he had to stop because we both couldn't take it anymore... we were spent. In the now-you-know department, I really thought that gaming 20 days in a row would hurt... but it actually felt good... it felt warm... like butter straight out of the microwave. If I understand the rules, I think we are getting a streak badge...

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. There are 9 other people in the chase as well... so it's pretty cool. Currently marklynx is hanging on to the number 4 spot. But, there are still 3 long days left! We need to keep heading for the top! | permalink

Oh and it is time for a gamerscore challenge update... listen up... 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! Currently marklynx is holding the number 9 spot in the group... decent. With 4 days to go, anything can still happen though... get on it! | permalink

marklynx's Weekly Recap - May 13 2013

It is hard to believe another week has passed. Here is the recap: It is a good one! marklynx had seven days of gaming! In a row! I know! Crazy! The gamerscore increase was just insane. I didn't think it would be possible to get 705 points in such a short span of time but we did. Who knew 40 achievements could be worth that much? Ok I knew that...

I was feeling a little bored last week and prodded marklynx to try a new game: Monsters Love Candy. It wasn't as cool as I thought it would be. Oh, and from what I remember, marklynx's favorite game last week was Monsters Love Candy. He played it on 6 of the days.

And that is the news for now... Check back next week... same bat time, same bat channel... | permalink

Hey, remember that challenge I was talking about a few days ago? The one called 'Auto Challenge - #93399'? 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 7. Someone once said, 'Winning isn't everything.' Although, losing isn't anything. marklynx, I want you to think about this while you go sign us up for another challenge. | permalink

marklynx's Weekly Recap - May 6 2013

It is that time of the week. I got your weekly recap right here: Not many Xboxes can claim seven days of gaming in a row. Last week marklynx and I can... and we will... and it feels so good! Ready for this? Last week saw an increase of 4360 points! My eye almost bleeds looking at a number that large! Getting 214 achievements can do that to you. I was there. I saw it!

I feel a little spoiled getting 5 new games to play in the same week. With titles like Crash Course Go! , Cut the Rope: Exp., Disney Fairies, Fable® II Pub Games, and Your Shape: FE 2012, who can go wrong with that right? Also, I think marklynx's favorite game last week was Plants vs. Zombies. He played it on 7 of the days.

Another week finished... staring down the barrel of another one. Check back to find out what happens! | permalink

Oh hey... also... I can't even believe that the gamerscore challenge formerly-known-as 'Auto Challenge - #93211' is over. Those 5 days flew by in a whirlwind of achievements and trash talk. Guess who the big winner was? marklynx WAS!!! Can you say domination? Hopefully, we can get a rematch against the other 9 challengers and prove that this win was no fluke! Plus, it'll be fun to do this again. Keeps me active! | permalink
