Powers of Ten

So this post marks two awesome simultaneous events.

First it is my 100th post on Click Nothing in just over 3 years. That puts me at not-terribly-respectable-but-not-terrible average of about one post every 10 days. When I started I had hoped to post minimum once a week, and there's no denying that I have enough data to say I have failed that objective. However, aside from a couple of specific windows where I didn't post for an entire month or so, I have been pretty close to once a week. Not bad. Maybe I can turn it up a bit and try to log my next 100 posts in a 2 year window... especially given the number of emails I send myself from work saying 'something to post' and then never get around to it.

So a good start... and room for improvement.

The other power-of-ten landmark to note today is that I hit the 10,000 Achievement Point mark on my X360. I landed it while doing co-op missions on GRAW2, so I'll thank my comrades in arms for covering my back while I racked up the points...

Alpha Team
Final1Option - Gunner
XL Burrito - Marksman

Bravo Team
Chuck Gagarin - Grenadier
MagnumPY - Rifleman
gregvw - Rifleman

I haven't had my 360 for quite as long as my blog - only 2 years and 5 months, minus about 2 months of downtime with the two RROD's, which is about 27 months. That's a measley 370 points a month - or just over 10/day. There is another ratio I need to improve. New target - 500 per month. That would be a significant 35% improvement, but I think I should be able to do it. It might be tricky as we move into the last half of this year with all the huge open world games I am expecting to play - Mercenaries 2, Fallout 3 and GTA IV... those games take a lot of time to harvest - I'll have to try and get a head start before I get sidetracked to all of those huge games.

Shameful. There's more to games than "winning" and "points" you know. What if GRAW were really about ghosts, and not just advancement. DID YOU EVER THINK OF THAT??!

Frank has a point. Ghosts, I say. Ghosts.

The achievement points have you in their evil grip...and you love it. Ya know, I downloaded Psychonauts and Indigo Prophecy for the 360 and I feel sorta disconnected from the world a bit when I'm playing and I don't get points for finishing levels. I guess I've been grabbed by them damn points as well. :)
