Another month down, another month over. More people showed up and brought down the house with lots of ease. Bfeld managed to clear the whole month on Day 1.
This month, we're going to our normally scheduled format for the remainder. This will also put us at the half way point at the end of the month.
Again, a reminder, you guys are tussling over the winner's choice of a 4000 MS point card or a free year of Xbox Live.
To carry over from last month, we're going to have a breakdown of achievements by points, get the points to complete the challenges. Do part of one and be assigned partial credit for your efforts.
How the tally at the end will work is that the entrant with the highest score will win the prize. In the event of a tie, a randomizer will be used to determine a winner from the pool of tied scores.
The scoreboard so far for our entrants! (if you see any discrepancies, please email me @gmail)
I'd like to stress that it's still quite possible to win this thing. We still have 4 months of challenges left to go and so far we have a relatively early start from 3 contenders. POINT VALUES WILL CONTINUE TO CLIMB TO KEEP PEOPLE IN THE LEAD ON THEIR TOES!
This month's Challenges are...
PREY - 15 Points
Clear all three hidden minigame achievements in Prey, and clear 12 multiplayer achievements
This would be too easy if I just told you what the minigame achievements are... See, with this month, you guys are going to have to work together AND work against each other. Sure you could post in the comments below what the minigames are, but then you'd be helping your opponents.
Oh wait. Multiplayer achievements. Who the fuck still plays Prey? Who could you use as your pool of potential victims to get these achievements. Maybe email Snaileb and ask him to make Prey a FNF game? Perhaps? I noticed that a few of the multiplayer achievements are awarded for 250 kills? That's a lot of trust...
One point for each of the minigames, One point per multiplayer achievement.
*** - If for some reason, you do not have Live Gold, email me for alternate means of entry for Prey.
PAC-MAN: Championship Edition - 10 points + 1 bonus point
Clear 200/200 Gamerscore points
Not as bad as it sounds. All you really have to do is not die, and finish all the modes in the game. Everything else just kinda falls into place. CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP!!!
Bonus point if you beat my high score on Championship Mode!
And the bonus challenge...
Suck it up fuckers, you'll live through this...
Yaris - Double your point total for the month
Easily the worst game in the entire Xbox library, this piece of crap was largely downloaded and then ignored for it's inane attempts to try to make us buy uncomfortably small and ugly cars under the premise that there's tentacle sex with the fuel lines and flaming wheels to attack you on the street. I thought long and hard about how to include this as a challenge, but ultimately, it seemed just too juicy to pass up as a bonus challenge given the banality, poor steering, and lack of enthusiasm Destructoid showed towards this title.
Sit down for this one.
You must clear any 7 achievements in Yaris
So there's a potential 26 points up for grabs this month.
Entries for this month must be completed either by the end of the month, or before the last person to contact me finishes the challenges. If a new entrant joins the contest, they must notify me via email @gmail.com for entry to extend your deadline until the end of the month.
All you have to do is want it bad enough. Next month, the challenges get harder, more intense, and more valuable to winning. I've got some really mean shit lined up for April, so I wish you guys the best of luck for March.
now that I look at it, this might be cake. I only need 2 more Prey achievements to max out that, 5 more HORRIBLE YARIS ACHIEVEMENTS, and now I'll finally buy Pacman championship edition.
Hey, play the game for 40 minutes and you'll likely have at least 3-4 of them.
Props to anyone that gets the million credits achievement.
I'd like to point out to everyone...
If you ever dial up my gamercard, you'll see that I plan these things out by trying these games well in advance...
That said, Carcassone will likely not be on the list as it's boring as piss to me and I don't even think I'd find enough there to try and create a challenge out of it.
I'm just saying though... You could piece the challenges together by keeping an eye on that gamercard from time to time...
Didn't I get some points for last month? Or is it only if you win that month? I guess I don't really understand how the whole point thing works... I think I'm just really tired and out of it.
Note: My score is now 22, as I posted my Portal review last night, and I just finished that damn Little Rocket Man achievement (and the other necessary Episode Two ones) today. Last months points (20) + January's points (2) = 22.
This gives me an excuse to finally download Pac-Man CE, but screw Yaris. I don't even care if it'll double my points, I am never going to play that game again.

about me
I own a FamPuter, which is a 100% fake Famicom. And I do own Super Mario Bros. and Rockman 2 for it, which you don't. :P
I'm a 32 year old gamer. I cannot hang out with most of you, and you should not contact me to buy you cheap wine or cigarettes. I do not like jail. Seriously, I own all three consoles and I don't discriminate. Gaming is for fun, not for sissy slapfights. If you consider yourself partial to a particular console, I don't care why you don't own other consoles, I don't want to hear about it. If you're going to bitch about something, you'd better bring some hard evidence of why you're complaining if you want to cry on my shoulder.
Enjoy this wonderful picture of 2 generations coming together at last...
PS - I eat trolls.
PPS - I've been to Japan. Maybe you've heard about it? If not, read up here:

You are a sick, sick man.
I don't know if I can handle this Yaris business. D:
I think i have all of the Prey ones but one of the minigames...
Awwww fuck you man...I hate playing those stupid minigames. On the plus side I have most of the multi-player achievements.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!
That's precisely why I stuck them in there. It is a challenge after all. One of 'em took me over a half hour to get.
and if anyone wants to play PREY tonight, I'll bring it to the fights with me. Message me on LIVE.
ahahaha, I knew about Yaris.
Prey, I've got to go find somewhere.
DAMMIT MAN!!!!
Fuck you and your Yaris. At least it's any 7 achievements. Still, that's gonna be a bitch.
now that I look at it, this might be cake. I only need 2 more Prey achievements to max out that, 5 more HORRIBLE YARIS ACHIEVEMENTS, and now I'll finally buy Pacman championship edition.

Prey? jeez... gotta buy it
Pacman? Good thing I have 800 points saved
Yaris? Fuck you dvd, fuck you.
Prey? jeez... gotta buy it
Pacman? Good thing I have 800 points saved
Yaris? Fuck you dvd, fuck you in the goatass.
Prey is a good single player campaign...multi can be laggy and if you are an achievement whore, it is pretty easy to rack some up.
God I hate you and your damn FPS games.
But give me those Pac Man points baby cause I have all 200...
Didn't I get some points for last month? Or is it only if you win that month? I guess I don't really understand how the whole point thing works... I think I'm just really tired and out of it.
Fuck you guys this month. Suckers gonna burn.
Evil...

:D
Also, once again: fuck Yaris.
I don't want it badly enough.
This gives me an excuse to finally download Pac-Man CE, but screw Yaris. I don't even care if it'll double my points, I am never going to play that game again.
HAHAH, nice :D
Also... what did i get a point for?
Thank you for getting me to rediscover the joy that is Pac-Man C.E. Seriously fun game and I can't believe I haven't played it more since I bought it.
