So, uh, good news. Wait. Who am I even writing to? Who reads blogs, anyway? I can't imagine how a random ramble could interest anybody.

Anyway like I was saying, Good news. Kinda. That whole problem with the Naruto edits is resolved. They posted it all in Franchise, a word I can't even spell without a spell-checker let alone know how to edit that properly. I immediately saw them do it because I'm up working on DOAx2's page (God help me), and points when from 500 to over 3000. I edited it all away with a big delete. and explained it in the little 'To the edior' box.

To my surprise the delete was approved in about 5 seconds. I've got stuff 2 days in the hopper, but this was taken care of in less than a minute. This is really a good thing because for whatever reason I don't like my mistakes being posted out there. I bet it's the same impulse that makes me stop in the middle of a game, restart it, and play the beginning over again so I can do this or collect that or whatever it is I missed the first time around.

I'm pretty sure I shouldn't be working so hard playing games. That impulse usually is a boon when it comes to things like paperwork and organization, I guess. But man it can be a real pain sometimes.

The problem now is I got all the points for posting it in franchise and unless something really weird happens I'll get them all of them again when it goes up in naruto's character side. That's like 6000 points. As of right now I'm in the top 50 with 3000+, so... yeah. I shouldn't be getting these points twice. I don't think they should score by the word. Should be done by the quality. I don't know how you judge that, but that'd be a better system.

For the most part people who play games take this whole hobby way to serious, and points and consoles especially so. Points really don't matter.  And comes from a guy who knows points. I'm in the top 1% of Xbox 360 online point totals. 25k+ isn't a drop in the bucket to the guys at the top, but for the most part it's a pretty high amount. The only reason I go for the achievements is that I like to complete the games I play. And have you ever tried to explain points to somebody who dosn't know games? It's embarrasing.

"So, basically I spent over a thousand hours over the last few years building up this huge amount of gamerscore that really has no practical value to it. I dervie some fun in getting them, sure, but that's about it."

"Oh. HUH. That's great, man. I'm going to go walk over here now. Enjoy Tetris, or Mario, or whatever."

So that's why I hardly tell anybody about it. And if anyone asks? I'm big into Sky diving and Polar Bear wrestling, and other less Nerdy Hobbies.
