    LATEST AVATAR AWARDS

    This is going to be a new section that I will add to every Achievement Update. I got my first Avatar Award the other day in Halo: Waypoint. It's not a game but they have Avatar Awards so it counts on that front. Obviously, I won't get an Avatar Award every week but it's still a cool section. Also, if you're wondering why I have access to Waypoint, it's because I'm in the Beta program for the new update. Everyone else has to wait a little while.

    So that is that. Right now, I'm just playing some Borderlands. That should hold me off until next Tuesday when MW2 comes out. Too bad I have classes from 9-9 on Tuesday so I won't get to play until 10PM Tuesday night. Oh well, I still can't wait!

    I got the full thousand in Borderlands, and it really wasn't that hard. As long as none glitch for you, you could have them all in no time.
     
    I also have been trying to get my Tour of Duty II achievement in 1943, and just can't seem to play that 100th game. It's the last achievement I need. ;__;

    I feel ya on the 1943 achievement.  The game is great, but I just personally don't feel like playing 100 matches of the same bullshit.  I need more maps.  Hell, I just need Karkand.  lol 
     
    So, GamerGeek, it's good to see you're getting into Borderlands.  The full 1000 on that, as Zell said, isn't too hard.  It is fun, though, which is what matters.  Hope you have fun blasting away through that!!! 
     
    Unfortunately, the 360 I play on all the time at work is dead right now, so we've gotta wait for the replacement to come in.  I'm only 600+ points off from 40K!!!  Good thing I've got comics and Borderlands on PC to keep me occupied until then! 
     
    Piece out, bro.  Cya next week!

    @jakob187: It's not just that it's the same maps, it's that it's been REALLY laggy lately. It's really annoying when I unload into a guy, and he turns around and noob tubes me. I just want my 20G and 200/200.. ;__;

    Oh man I LOVE Borderlands! I don't even care about the achievements (I can't believe I just said that) I just love playing the game! As for Battlefield, I just pick it up and play every once in a while so I don't mind about the map situation. Dice said they plan on doing DLC later but were surprised by the success so none are ready right now. That should help the situation a bit.

    Maybe you shouldn't suck! lol I'm just messing man. Battlefield isn't too laggy for me lately but I don't play it too much so I don't know.

    I S ranked Battlefield 1943 during the summer and haven't played it too much since.  If I remember correctly I stopped playing after 101 games. 
     
    Great game, but there just isn't enough content to keep it worthwhile.

    Dropping in to share some of that Borderlands love. I got the Platinum and loved playing through it. I actually leveled a character to 50 playing through normally and then have been powerleveling another to 50 to see the differences.

    @Claude: Because I did. Remember shortly after that I was out of an Xbox for a month and half (roughly). Also, I just am not getting achievements as much as I used to. My gaming time has dropped greatly since college started.

    Yes, in certain situations that is true. Others, not so sure.
