The Game Within a Game


I own multiple systems and have a collection of games that spans the history of video gaming (not a lot, just a variety). An XBox360 did not enter my life until late 2009. In 2009, my Gamerscore went from 0 to 595. I discovered the joy of Achievements, Googled Achievements and discovered 360Voice.com
I was briefly hooked on Achievements and ran my gamerscore up to 5,290 by the end of October. The gamerscore bug did not stick. My gamerscore crawled it's way to 9,600 in late October of this year. More than two years since my XBOX360 purchase.
Two things happened this year.
1. I rediscovered the feeling I get when I here an Achievement pop.
2. I was closing in on a milestone. 10,000 Gamerscore.

I made a quick run at the milestone and reached 10,000 on November 9th. On December 3rd I hit a new gamerscore milestone.....15,000!

My gamerscore goal at the moment is to reach 20,000 by the end of the year and as I head into 2012, I want to go back and clean up some achievements on some of the games I've played. I think I may be able to make a run at 100K by the end of 2012.
