I’m an avid gamer and (possibly) a gamerscore whore

What is gamerscore you ask? Well Microsoft and XBOX in their infinite wisdom () decided that it would give players a way to measure their apparent NERD CRED by affixing a number to your gamertag. This number is supposed to relate to others your AWESOMENESS. Well, once I got my own Elite system…I was bitten by the bug. Just ask my long suffering fiance, my gs hunting reached a crazy frenzied level. I was consumed with the need to increase my score. I kept telling myself (much like an alcoholic or junkie fiendin for that next hit) when I get to this number, I’ll calm down. No when I get to this number I’ll stop. Well, sadly, that did not really happen. First it was 5000, then it was 10000, and then I swore that 20k was going to see me really slow down because I was enjoying my gaming less and less. Not to mention the fact that my fiance decided that I was hopeless and that he wanted no parts of this gamerscore addiction that had me plotting which games I would play and how I would play them to best maximize my gamerscore. Well, in under a year, I managed 20k gamerscore. Yay me! And I did slow down for a while and then I noticed that hey, I can probably make 25k before the year is out. And so this is my quest now, to get approximately 400 points before year’s end. I’m sure I can do it easily but I wonder where my gamerscore whoring will end. At least I can say, that there are some games that I will not play no matter what or how easy it is to achieve gs. I am very happy to say that I managed a full 1000 in &

I’m also heading towards 1000 in (I have 875 now, fingers crossed on this one as I have to play it through 2 times and have already played the game 3x thru).

Maybe it’s time to start a GS Anonymous chapter. I wonder if MS/Xbox will sponsor us. I wonder if I can sue them and get some $$$. I’m not kidding–It’s a RECESSION!!

Hello world!

Get Your Minx On! Take One! ACTION!!

Hmmm, I don’t think I’m much of a blogger. While I feel I have plenty of ideas and things to say, I don’t necessarily like to share them with total strangers. Then I think, what could I possibly have to say that would interest someone enough to want to read and/or comment on said musings? Well I suppose that is the beauty of the blogosphere…no one has to read it, or comment, but it’s enough that your thoughts are out into the world and perhaps someone can benefit or just think, damn I’m glad my life doesn’t suck like her’s does. Ahh schadenfreude!! Well here goes…Get Your Minx On…Take One…ACTION!
