Tenlo's XBLA Bragging Contest

First topic message reminder :


With the recent announcement of next month's Xbox Live Rewards event (check Graham's post here) I thought what the hell let's have an impromptu contest for all those XBLA titles cluttering up our hard drives.

So throughout April I challenge you all to complete as many XBLA achievements as you can on as many different games as possible! Who will win out, who will falter first, who has some right bizarre stuff backed up in their backlog? All will be revealed over the month.

At the moment all the prizes we have are pure bragging rights, but I will try and scavenge some codes and gifts from companies over the month, but no guarantees! As it's all fun there will be several categories to win in. Obvious categories will be most GS and most achievements earned, but I will also be announcing more random categories such as least GS and achievements earned, most and least amount of games you've earned achievements in as well as most completed games. Plus any more bizarre ones that pop into my head.

All in all it's going to be a good chuckle and gives us all an excuse to tackle some of those games lurking in our backlogs! Plus with the variety of categories I can think of, I can imagine everyone has a chance of winning something (thought it may take me a couple of days to write up the final victor's posts).

To enter all you have to do is join the leaderboard here (if the link doesn't work just follow the leaderboard on my TA page. If you're not on TA or just want to make my life a living nightmare, then just PM me your gamertag and I'll shift through your game list and do it manually (and prepare for some cursing and blaspheming of your name - no Xmas cards for you!!!). I'll take note of everyone's scores around midnight 31st March and keep tabs from there. If you join late don't worry I'll just keep tabs from when you do start.

So apologies for the suddenness of the comp but it's a moment of inspiration, hence the slapdash logo and lack of organisation, but I'm sure it'll come together. So let's clear that XBLA backlog together and earn some bragging rights and possible forum badges (just came to me that idea - I told you this was in the process of being made!) plus don't forget to sign up to Xbox rewards as you may as well get some free stuff from them too!

Ooh! Nice scoring! A couple of tight personal duels in the offing too! Good work chaps! It's been a good laugh has all this! I look forward to more shenanigans!

I did one this month already, could have used that time to be 400MSP ahead of where I am now and not second.

But don't worry, I'll try my best not to earn any more gamerscore tonight and tomorrow!

Final day peoples get those scores in.

What do points make?
prizes!
gggggggggood game my love

Aye got to sneak in some extra titles just to keep Kent away from butt!!

Thats the spirit tenners!

Looks like the Hammer is gonna "Take Me" on the final day! (Gigiddy!) The devious southern bastard!!!!! I bet he planned this all along!!! He'll be happy as long as he sticks one up at CLONE!!!

I've spent all day finishing off my Poker Night review among other real life things, so not had the chance to do any gaming at all.....oh well. I'm actually looking forward to firing up some retail titles for a few days. Might get back in to Injustice, or maybe Bioshock Infinite 1999 playthrough.

It's ironic that since I got my new telly, i've only played XBLA, ps2 and Megadrive on it! LoL! I'm looking forward to some Farcry 3 and such like!

Me too - don't think I'll be touching XBLA for a couple of weeks after this (once I finish off Dust of course!)

God damn it!

We've had a power cut in the village all evening! It's just come back on now! I was gonna have one final scoring blast!! :-(

Good luck with the final scores guys!

Well, it's all over.....

Congrats to Markav. He's been at the top for the majority of the contest, but Waggly Bean has kept him on his toes. A nice bit of tactical play from Kent there as well. Keeping the three Sega fighters back until the final day for a 1200 point boost.

Top competition well done guys it has been great fun going back through my backlog of unfinished games like trine 2 and markav the ninja and also finding some new gems like dogfight 1942 which I will go back and get the DLC for. I think I will have a night off then probably get far cry 3 blood dragon.

Especially well done to waggles. We really went for it pal I don't know about you but I was exhuasted from playing some whorers. I just wanted some social gaming last night and Kent was kind enough to join me for some god mode. It was pretty funny hearing Kent screaming as we played on gold difficulty but we bagged a few cheevs and had good fun with that game.



Kent!

We beat the Clone!We beat the Clone!We beat the Clone!We beat the Clone!We beat the Clone!We beat the Clone!We beat the Clone!We beat the Clone!We beat the Clone!

Well done Markav, EPIC effort you filthy team of whores!!!

Mark wins a shiny new copy of Defiance, please pm Tenlo your address details mate.

Also Everton will be in touch with your M$ points prize too!

Great effort from Waggly pushing you all the way to the end, he wins a copy of Dishonoured kindly donated by TreeMunky and some M$ points kindly donated by Everton.

I am well happy with a 5th place finish myself as 1 week ago I was 3rd bottom.

The following losers got their ASS handed to them by the HAMMERS late push.

LOSERS!!!!!

I will also be awarding some XBLA codes to some of you for galant efforts, but for now lets all admire the easy open legged whores that are Team Mark and Waggly bum.

I salute the filth!

Nice work Markav!! Congrats on your win

I have enjoyed the contest, I rarely play XBLA so this was good for my completions!

Great effort Waggly, and well done Kent for a galant late push!!

Now that everyone's whored those Sega fighters we should do this again some time.

Also a big thanks to Tenlo and Graham for the hard work put into the updates

Well done Markav and Waggly sterling effort from both Hats off to Tenlo and GOTD. Waggly pm me your address fella and I'll stick your prize in the post, p&p isn't included and comes to about £14.99

I still have the Sega whorers to do

I'm happy with my 960 points tbh, I don't have many xbla games so didn't even expect to make that much. Congrats to everyone who won

Congrats Markav and Waggly! And good to see Kent has such graciousness in coming in 5th!

Thanks for everyone who took part and big thanks to GOTD for taking over in my absence. I don't want to see another XBLA game for at least a couple of weeks, time for Sleeping Dogs and Tales of Vesperia
now!

Don't forget to PM me your address Markav and I'll send the game to you!

Ok mate will do.

[quote="Tenlo" And good to see Kent has such graciousness in coming in 5th! [/quote]

wa wa wa, cry me a river you LOSER!!

Only 4 heroic GSA legends managed to beat me

Well done Markav! You deserved it mate! Well done to Waggles for pushing you all the way, and to everyone who made an effort to join in the banter, which is ultimately what makes it all the more fun! Nice one to the Hammer for his tactical comeback!

Many thanks to Tenlo for conceiving the idea and putting in all that work. Cheers also to Graham for keeping it going when needed! Congrats to Tree and Everton for prizes!! It's been a great laugh! Look forward to the next one when I shall book a month off work to try and compete!

After all is said and done though, I think we all know that the real winner here is the elegant and masterful Colne Crusader who walks away with a reasonable score, but also uniquely, with dignity and integrity intact unlike all you cheap and filthy Sega and Kinect hussies!!

Thank-you very much. You will never know what it's like to maintain such a regal status in gaming with your taunts and jibes!!


P.S. Enjoy your prizes you jammy goats!!

Congrats Markav, didn't think I could get the lead back, but managed to keep you working for it anyway!

Thanks Tenlo and GOTD for keeping us all up to date, and to everyone else who took part and made it a lot of fun! Having said that, I think I'll definitely be taking a few days off XBLA games now...
