Well, I tried playing Alaskan Adventure, and it would be pretty decent if it wasn't for some of the stupid gameplay mechanics like having to go get tags for each hunt. Not to mention how lame dog sled racing is. The actual hunting is kind of fun, but I'm not sure I am going to bother much with this one. I guess the African Safari one is supposed to be much better.

Stealth gaming, awesome! Couldn't you just check his gamertag though to keep up with his increases?

You can turn that on when you go on vacation so that your play percentage doesn't go down. Maybe he's actually going on vacation.

Hell yes they are!

Actually, I don't think he is doing anything nefarious. He is still logging in on his gamertag.

Seriously. Does it even matter? No one is going to catch up to me unless they start playing a ton of quick achievement point games anyway. So quit your fucking whining.

What exactly do you expect me to say? Some of you seem to have a hard time grasping the concept that this is a contest to score THE MOST achievement points within a given period.

Well, congrats, just don't expect to be invited to any future contests.

You forgot, this was supposed to be a contest for the most points scored within a 15 minute per day window, with a maximum of 4 days per week played.

Your score wouldn't even be close to first in most two week contests I've seen and a good amount of one week contests, I'm not sure why everyone thinks it is so untouchable, even this late in the contest.

The fact of the matter is, this was supposed to be a casual competition, with no cheesing, and as far as I'm concerned, you've played nothing but cheese since we've started.

Oh noes! What will I do without an invite from the royal Lord Wow!?

Seriously, this is stupid. Why do you expect me to follow some unofficial rules that I wasn't even aware of until well into the contest. Which even included adding Avatar to a imaginary "No play" list after the contest started. Way to be, Lord Wow, way to be.

So what if I was playing 24 hours a day, would you consider that to be "cheating"? Why not do like FusionX said and further limit it not only by "cheese" but the amount of time per day we can spend playing.

Why don't you go ahead and play Avatar, I know you're really looking forward to it.

No, I don't care how long people play. But look at your most played list of 360 games, it reads like the Worst Games on the XBox 360.

I'm totally in agreement with Flashburn. Unless the rules are implemented into the actual contest, then you can't force people not to play things. 360voice implemented a check for Avatar, so I'm in a contest the only people that have 1000 in Avatar can be in. I'm way behind as I don't have any easy games left, but I haven't said one word.

I just don't understand the need to bitch. You had just as much right to play King Kong or NHL 2K6 as anyone else did, and you could even get 1000 in those 2K sports games in your imaginary "15 minutes a day" limit. What the fuck kind of gamer plays a game for only 15 minutes a day? Maybe one of the XBLA games or a couple songs of RB/GH, sure. But you couldn't even get to a checkpoint in a lot of games in 15 minutes. That's ludicrous!

To defend FusionX, he was just being sarcastic about the whole 15 minutes a day thing. I'm sure Lord Wow would be all for that though.

Of course I was being sarcastic, its hilarious that people are upset over which games are played. As far as "casual," a 7K pick up in a month is quite casual by the usual 360Voice contest standards. I had to put almost 6K in a week run to win the one I was in. You're supposed to up your game in these contests, not play once a week and hope people do the same.

Whatever flashburn. Hope you enjoyed playing all those crappy games.

So what you plan on buying with your gift card?

I actually have had a pretty fun time playing some of these games. Cars is probably my favorite out of all of the "crappy" games. I like Spiderman Friend or Foe quite a bit, but I wouldn't lump that game in with the rest of the ones like Open Season and Fantastic Four.


I'll probably be getting a PSP if I win.
