Chrome30's Xbox - Aug 28 2008
I told Chrome30 'Don't make me hurt you!' and the threat worked because he decided to show up yesterday. A gamer score of 67,336 is in our back pocket. That is an increase of 75 points over last time! He rocked out to Too Human adding 3 achievements, and did it while drooling over my awesome graphics and sound.
Oh hey, remember the challenge that Chrome30 was in? It has come to an end. Chrome30 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? So, no sense crying over this one... climb back on the horse Chrome30... giddy-up...
Chrome30's Xbox - Aug 27 2008
I thought maybe the power was out yesterday... imagine my surprise when Chrome30 hit the switches! Gamerscore stands at 67,261. He made some progress on Too Human, and yeah... wow... my processor hurts...
I always like to end with a little bit about Chrome30 and the ongoing gamerscore challenge status. If you want to see how good I'm doing, check it out! 8 other competitors are racking up achievements and powering up their gamerscores, hoping to secure a victory! Currently Chrome30 is hanging on to the number 4 spot. 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.
Chrome30's Xbox - Aug 26 2008
Chrome30 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 67,261 gamerscore. That is a profit of 60 points over last time! He rallied Too Human finishing 4 achievements, and then he almost hugged me, but I was like back off dude.
Oh BTW, did you know that Chrome30 is competing in a gamerscore challenge? Let me link you to the daily updates and trash talking. There are 8 other people playing along as well... they better watch out. Currently Chrome30 is hanging on to the number 4 spot. With 2 days to go, anything can still happen though... get on it!
Chrome30's Weekly Recap - Aug 25 2008
Do you know what time of the week it is? Time to talk about what happened these last seven days: It is a good one! Chrome30 had seven days of gaming! In a row! I know! Crazy! I feel like i'm bragging when I say our score climbed 775 points last week... insanity! I guess that is what completing 34 achievements can do!
I was feeling a little bored last week and convinced Chrome30 to try a new game: Too Human. It wasn't as cool as I thought it would be. Also, according to the records, Chrome30's favorite game last week was Too Human. He played it on 5 of the days.
And that's all I got. I'm not a writer... just an Xbox.
Chrome30's Xbox - Aug 25 2008
We played games yesterday... No really... I have proof! Chrome30 might have told you otherwise, but we really did. 67,201 points of total gamerscore means we are teh awes0me! That is an increase of 225 points over last time! That was enough to cross the 67,000 mark! Good stuff! He opened up Too Human winning an amazing 8 achievements, 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 pull away from j sizzl and that 33,030 score... Make it happen Chrome30!!
And..... guess what? I will reveal the latest gamerscore challenge status to you as a matter of public record. Don't take my word for it! See for yourself! 8 other people are throwing down in this challenge. If I do the math correctly, it means that 8 players X 7 days means a whole lot of trash talk! Chrome30 has the number 4 spot... And while we have 3 days left, let's not procrastinate. Pick up that controller and get to unlockin'!
Chrome30's Xbox - Aug 24 2008
Like a king on his throne, Chrome30 said 'awaken' and for him I did comply. 66,976 points represents the size of our growing kingdom. Ok, enough of this Monarchy stuff. That is an increase of 80 points over last time! He rallied Too Human winning 1 achievement, and before I even realized it, he was finished and I was sad.
I also want to mention/remind you that Chrome30 is participating in a pretty slamming gamerscore challenge. Let me link you to the daily updates and trash talking. 8 other people are also involved... which is madness. Out of everyone, Chrome30 is holding on to the number 4 spot. We just have to keep plugging away at it for these next 4 days... insert game... push buttons... get points.
Chrome30's Xbox - Aug 23 2008
I thought maybe the power was out yesterday... imagine my surprise when Chrome30 hit the switches! Gamerscore stands at 66,896. That is a profit of 210 points over last time! He rallied Too Human finishing an amazing 10 achievements, and then I came out of my trance and realized it was all over.
Oh BTW, did you know that Chrome30 is competing in a gamerscore challenge? If you want to see how good I'm doing, check it out! 8 other people are throwing down in this challenge. If I do the math correctly, it means that 8 players X 7 days means a whole lot of trash talk! Out of all those people, Chrome30 is currently parked at number 4. And while we have 5 days left, let's not procrastinate. Pick up that controller and get to unlockin'!
Chrome30's Xbox - Aug 22 2008
My power supply almost exploded! Chrome30 turned on the juice and we did some serious gaming! 66,686 points of total gamerscore is pretty good. Admit it. That is a profit of 20 points over last time! He made some progress on Too Human finishing 1 achievement, and then I basked in the warm glow of post gaming. Mmmm warm...
I always like to end with a little bit about Chrome30 and the ongoing gamerscore challenge status. If you want to follow along at home, catch the action here. 8 other people are also involved... which is madness. Chrome30 has the number 4 spot... But, there are still 6 long days left! We need to keep heading for the top!
Chrome30's Xbox - Aug 21 2008
Oh man, Chrome30 was totally in the gaming zone yesterday when he fired me up to play. 66,666 points of total gamerscore doesn't do his skills justice. That is an increase of 170 points over last time! He made some progress on Too Human acquiring an amazing 11 achievements, and before I even realized it, he was finished and I was sad.
A big shift in score is coming soon as well. Chrome30 is competing in a gamerscore challenge titled 'For the People #3' and looking to win big. Expect a lot of games, a lot of points, and no sleep!
Chrome30's Xbox - Aug 20 2008
Consoles are for playing! I am glad Chrome30 picked up on that yesterday... Gamerscore is a respectful 66,496 points. He rocked out to Fable® II Pub Games, and then it felt like he threw my controller and I was like, TAKE IT EASY SHEESH and we stopped. BTW, I have a special secret to share... ready? FREAKIN' 210 DAYS OF GAMING IN A ROW OMG!
This is really good stuff... the more we play, the more chances we have to leave j sizzl in the dust. Call me crazy, but a 33,466 point cushion is not nearly enough for me...
Chrome30's Xbox - Aug 19 2008
Like a king on his throne, Chrome30 said 'awaken' and for him I did comply. 66,496 points represents the size of our growing kingdom. Ok, enough of this Monarchy stuff. That is a gain of 70 points over last time! He rallied Kung Fu Panda adding 3 achievements, and I think there was some random Live Marketplace browsing, but I wasn't paying attention.
For The People #3
It is suppose to be my blog, but Chrome30 wants a shot:
Ok, here we go again. For The People #3 is going to kick off as soon as we get enough people. I am hoping for at least 15. Everyone with a 20k Gamerscore is eligible for this one. No gamesaving, playing offline, or any other "unethical" game playing. No Avatar, sports games that aren't 09, no games that have 15 achievements i.e. a game MUST have 16 achievements. Arcade games can be played. Also, you must be watching my blog and continue to do so (why miss out on future challenges?). If you can follow these simple rules then come join up. If you aren't able to meet the requirements then the last challenge will be held after this one, and it will be open to everyone who has a 15k gamerscore. Keep watching the blog. Follow link at bottom and come have some fun!!

Chrome30's Weekly Recap - Aug 18 2008
Another week, another recap... and you love me for it: Oh man are my cores just rocking... Chrome30 played seven days last week! SEVEN! That is a NUMBER SEVEN followed by NO ZEROS! HOT! I feel like i'm bragging when I say our score climbed 770 points last week... insanity! I guess that is what completing 40 achievements can do!
I was also pretty happy about the 2 new games this last week. They were (in no particular order) Fable® II Pub Games, and Kung Fu Panda. I liked them. I think Chrome30 did too. Also, I think we can all agree that Chrome30's favorite game last week was Fable® II Pub Games. He played it on 5 of the days.
So there you have it... Check back next week for another report from yours truly.
Chrome30's Xbox - Aug 18 2008
When you want to get on the cover of the gaming magazines, you have to play every day! I keep telling Chrome30 that as motivation... yesterday it worked! We went for a spin... played some games... ended with a score of 66,426. That is an improvement of 360 points over last time! He rocked out to Fable® II Pub Games, Kung Fu Panda adding an amazing 17 achievements, and then the lightweight went to bed. Freakin' wuss.
Oh hey... also... I can't even believe that the gamerscore challenge formerly-known-as 'For the People #2' is over. Those 7 days flew by in a whirlwind of achievements and trash talk. Chrome30 didn't manage to get enough points to win... we had to settle for a comfortable spot 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...
Chrome30's Xbox - Aug 17 2008
Yesterday was a triumph! I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS. It's hard to overstate my satisfaction with Chrome30. Data indicates that gamerscore stands at an always improving 66,066. That is an improvement of 40 points over last time! He made some progress on Fable® II Pub Games winning 2 achievements, and I think there was some random Live Marketplace browsing, but I wasn't paying attention.
Oh BTW, did you know that Chrome30 is competing in a gamerscore challenge? Bookmark this link now and check out all the action! 11 other competitors are racking up achievements and powering up their gamerscores, hoping to secure a victory! Currently Chrome30 is hanging on to the number 9 spot. 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 Chrome30 does these days) and win this challenge!
Chrome30's Xbox - Aug 16 2008
I told Chrome30 'Hey man, it is time to play games' and YAY! he listened! Gamer score is 66,026. He rocked out to Fable® II Pub Games, and afterwards, there were some awkward stares and silence... you know how it is.
I always like to end with a little bit about Chrome30 and the ongoing gamerscore challenge status. 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. 11 other people are also involved... which is madness. Currently Chrome30 is holding the number 8 spot in the group... decent. And while we have 2 days left, let's not procrastinate. Pick up that controller and get to unlockin'!
Chrome30's Xbox - Aug 15 2008
Chrome30 showed up yesterday and we were like a superhero team together. I make a great sidekick! Gamerscore stands at 66,026. Up up and away right? He rocked out to Fable® II Pub Games, and then Chrome30 had to stop for a bathroom break or something... Humans really are bags of mostly water.
What is really good is that every day played is another chance to pull away from captainNcola and that 32,964 score... Make it happen Chrome30!!
I also want to mention/remind you that Chrome30 is participating in a pretty slamming gamerscore challenge. If you want to follow along at home, catch the action here. There are 11 other people rocking out on this thing which keeps it fun. Currently Chrome30 is holding the number 8 spot in the group... decent. But, there are still 3 long days left! We need to keep heading for the top!
Chrome30's Xbox - Aug 14 2008
I thought Chrome30 just wanted to listen to music or watch a DVD. Turns out he was there to game. With a gamer score of 66,026, I should have known that was the case. That is a gain of 70 points over last time! That was enough to cross the 66,000 mark! Good stuff! He rallied Fable® II Pub Games adding 5 achievements, Street Fighter II' HF, as well as basked in the glow of my great blade navigation interface!
Hey, I almost forgot! The gamerscore challenge that Chrome30 is competing in is on day 3 and we're doing our best to win this thing. Follow every up and down over here. There are 11 other people playing along as well... they better watch out. Out of all those people, Chrome30 is currently parked at number 6. And while we have 4 days left, let's not procrastinate. Pick up that controller and get to unlockin'!
Chrome30's Xbox - Aug 13 2008
Have you ever wondered what it was like to play games with someone who has a gamerscore of 65,956? Well guess what... you will never know, and I do! Chrome30 is mine! All mine! No touchy! That is a boost of 200 points over last time! He rallied Guitar Hero: Aerosmith gaining an amazing 11 achievements, and did it while marvelling at the framerates and stellar particle effects.
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 11 other people involved. I didn't know Chrome30 even knew that many people. Currently Chrome30 is holding the number 6 spot in the group... decent. We just have to keep plugging away at it for these next 5 days... insert game... push buttons... get points.
