I'll give the details by PM in case you are interested in buying something. I recommend buying 3 games together as the shipping price is the same for 1-3 games.

PermalinkThoughts before vacations
Hi everyone,

It’s been a long time since my last blog post when I hit 99% completion. It’s been two really crazy months with lot of work and some other unexpected things that kept me really busy. I’ve almost not played games these days but it’s been for a good cause.

I’m taking my vacations next week, the school year ends and I cannot wait to enjoy the summer. It’s been a tough year, probably one of the toughest of my life but it’s over now. I’ve finally finished the master degree I was doing about musical pedagogy, the final exams and the thesis kept me very busy this year, and if we add my work and musical projects to my daily schedule, I really had not much time left for gaming.

Hopefully, now on I’ll have a lot more free time but to be honest, even when the summer vacations end, I’m not sure if I’ll use it for gaming as I’ve many plans and things to do. Anyway, at least I’ll keep gaming as much as I can till the AHPM contest ends, then I’ll think what to do.
The new generation is about to be released and I’m not excited at all. I really don’t understand all the debates and discussions about the different choices that the customers will have. I think it is unnecessary to do it when we are talking about some private corporations that are releasing products. If you like something and can afford it, go ahead and buy it. It seems that people needs to justify its choices by talking shit about the others. C’mon guys, Sony, MS ad Nintendo want to make money, that’s their business. If you like the product, go ahead, buy it and enjoy it. But your choice doesn’t make you smarter or cooler.

Even that probably my gamertag says something different to most people, I’m not a MS fanboy. I’ve enjoyed this generation a lot and to be honest I’m not ready to leave it behind. My backlog is really huge and I feel that I’m going to stick to this generation longer than any other generation before. I’m not a hype junkie, the only thing that I care about games is not how they look but how they play when I’m controlling it and the story behind them. I’ve seen both Sony and MS conferences on the E3 and I think both have good and bad points. It’s still very soon to make a choice and I think that it is better to wait and not pick any of them on release date. Probably those consoles will give more troubles than anything else and the price will be really high. Anyway, I’m not going to criticize those who are doing it. It’s your money, your time, your life, do whatever makes you feel good.

At this moment, I’m not sure yet which console I’ll buy, maybe none, maybe all, maybe just one. I bought all the consoles from the previous generations but I ended up sticking basically with the Xbox. This time maybe it’s different as I’m a different person now and the economic situation of my country is not the best right now and not sure how it is going to be in the present future.

To be honest, I don’t like most of the things I’ve read about the new Xbox, but I’m sure that things will change, the same way that the Xbox 360 has nothing to do when you look at it now comparing to what it was on release date.

I know that I’m not going to leave my gamertag behind, even if I don’t get an Xbox One. The gamertag has become something bigger than it was when I made it for the old Xbox. Now it is linked to almost everything I do on my PC, mobile and tablet. So even if I don’t get the new console, I’ll keep using it, playing with it and getting more achievements on it. I still want to know how we can move the gamertag between both consoles (360 and One). If it’s going to be as simple as it is now, with a USB or if the gamertag can be on both consoles at the same time.

Even the achievements system will evolve into something different and I’m really looking forward to see how it’ll work. Maybe it’s a nightmare for the completionists but I wouldn’t care if that’s the case. Maybe I’ll be happy because sometimes it is horrible to be a completionist and I can go back to starting games without caring about the overall look of my gamertag.
The truth is that I have a huge backlog and I really want to play, and if it’s possible, complete most of those games as I don’t want to feel like I wasted my money in all those games.

The future is here and changes are always painful but hopefully it’ll be for good. The same way that we accept things now that we thought we’ll never do in the past, the next generation it’s being criticized but it’ll probably be loved in the future. That’s the human nature. Wish I had the same time to play games as I had before but that’s not the situation, life of an adult is quite different and I’ve future plans with my girlfriend that won’t let me play as much as before, but I know that I’ll stick around as this is my primary hobby and something I really love doing.

But now is still the time to enjoy the Xbox 360, I got plenty of stuff to play. I’ll try to get most of the online achievements in the games I own and left only the offline ones so I can get them by myself in the future. So basically I’ll try to boost the online as much as I can. Not sure if I’ll keep completing games as I did before. I also want to play some of the greatest games from this generation that I’ve yet to play. Really looking forward for Skyrims GOTY edition but that’ll be when the competition ends. Now is the time for online boosting and playing the easy stuff I got left.

Have a nice summer everyone!

Take care!

PermalinkA quest for 99% - Completed!
Finally the quest is over!!! clap

After a long journey, cleaning old stuff in my card, I've reached the final goal. 99% is more than enough for me, as I cannot go for the 100%.

I'd like to thank all my friends for their help and support during these years, it could have been imposible without you. Thanks a bunch!

When I started playing with my Xbox and caring about achievements I had about 60% completion on my first 100K. At that time, didn't really care about putting games on my card. After I got that one, I decided to start completing the games instead of going just for the easy G.

I have way too much unobtainables and discontinued achievements, also tough ones and games I really don't want to play anymore. So aiming for a higher % is quite complicated. Anyway I know someday I'll comeback to clean old stuff as I have some easy achievements I can get. Also, I'll try to keep completing every new game I start, so my completion % will keep rising. I'll like to get to a comfortable 99,5%, so I don't lose it when I start new games and also, I still need to rise my gamerscore % to 99. Anyway, I hope to get there eventually.

I broke my schedule once again to get the 99% before the 7th of April instead of the 7th of June. The main reason is that I've got invited by "Mr. Logistic" aka A 0 Monkey, to be part of his team in the newly started gamerscore competition. So I wanted to get there before the competition started.

I'm not a competitive person and have never been part of something like this. But I needed a good excuse to end this quest and start cleaning my retail games backlog. So probably, until the competition lasts, I'll keep playing those retail games that are not really hard to complete but take some time and never started them. Those games have been shitting on the shelver for way too long and never been motivated to play them. I've already played most of the easiest stuff, but I've still got plenty of medium-easy games to play. Most of them are not very good games so I hope that the competition keeps me motivated.

The team has also TJ and Monkeys friend Jeremy on it. I think that overall we are a good team. We don't have many easy games to play but with a good team job I think that we can be competitive enough. Especially to survive the first cut which is the 7th of July. This ain't goona be easy, as both Monkey and I are really busy till summer, but if we make it, we'll aim higher on the second round of the competition.

So now on I'll play only new stuff and basically retail games, except maybe some easy arcades and phone games. Not sure if I'll go just for score or keep aiming for completions, it'll depend on how the competition goes. Probably my completion % will lower during but I'll clean it back when the competition ends.

I'll start completing all the Conan versions and after I'm done with it I'll boost as much games as I can before going for the offline achievements. I'll also play Taptiles once in a while as this will be the only already started game I'll play during the competition. Want to get the medals as soon as possible. I'm already half way through it.

Thanks again to everyone!!

Hope you guys and girls have a great week!
