Just a very quick update, I am still doing my 100k challenge and am currently at 60807, I know I promised regular updates but I have been in hospital alot with my heart condition and have not had a chance to post so I apologise..
Anyway the deadline has been moved back to the end of September since I missed a good month of gaming with my hospital trips and I intend on reaching my target by then.
I will update you all soon with my progress!
Take care.

The red ring of what?
Typical huh? what would you expect to happen when you set yourself to go for a challenge like I am? Not a red ring of death right? WRONG! Yes unfortunatley I have fell victim to the ring once again, but fear not for I am going to purchase a new xbox tommorrow as I cannot afford to wait for a replacement.
On a lighter note I am halfway through lost and spiderman, my normal turn around on games like these (easy games lol) would normally be 2 days max, but due to recent incidents and now this red ring (dammit lol) I am taking a bit longer, fear not though as mathmatically with the games I'm planning to play in the next few weeks I should be well on track for the 100k.
Thanks to everyone who donated and sent me nice messages, I really do appreciate your support people, I try to blog everyday but if I stop gaming I lose time so forgive me I'f I'm not updating everyday.
I have also had a few messages worrying if I can do this challenge and where I'm getting the games from to do it, well basically I have barely touched the easy 1000g games so I have a lot in mind (thanks to people suggesting titles to me also) and I get my games from the rental service at lovefilm.com although most of the games already on my card I own.
Ok here is a good question for everyone, what is the worst game you have played and why?
Drop your answer in the comments bar below!
You know the worst thing about doing a challenge like this? You seem to constantly run out of food haha...what I would do for a cheese toastie right now....

Sorry for the lack of updates :)
After the agony of Matt Hazard which I still have yet to complete (I know I know lol) I unfortunatley ended up in hospital with my heart condition! (yea that's how much that game sucks haha)
Today however I am a free man! Lol, and I have just found out I was featured on xbox lives "Monday Musing"
First of all I want to thank the people that have donated to my cause and everyone who is wishing me well for the challenge.
I am also aware that this is extremely hard but I am going to try my upmost to complete the task and I am confident I can achieve it, tonight I am going to finally indulge in some "lost the videogame" so wish me luck and pray that I do not fall asleep while playing it.
I also want to thank xbox for having me featured as it's such a worthwhile cause an I truly belive we as gamers can make a huge difference with our hobby!

It's hazard time!....or maybe not lol
Well what a day it has been so far after watching my beloved football team spurs crumble to a 3-1 defeat against a relegation candidate, I am now stuck playing a game what can only be described as well...shit.
Well what is there to say about Eat lead Matt Hazard? Which includes memorable lines such as "You bring a gun to a watergun fight?" and "Eat my hard hazard lead"
This game is awful, the gameplay is like trying to ride a bull in a rodeo only you have one leg and the bull is out to kill you...yes it's that painful.
But it is a "easy" 1000 points I use the term "easy" very loosely as currently the top difficulty "maximum hazard" is cheating me so bad that I actually feel like calling the developers and asking them if they would be better off making Tupperware than videogames.
On the plus side the graphics are somewhat ok but still this game has next to no redeeming factors the only one being that it had a guy who impersonates Arnold "the guvenator" swarzenegger (sorry if I spelt your last name wrong arnie) and he does a pretty good job at it.
Well I suppose it's time for me to strap on the boots and get back to killing random enemies with water pistols and terrible one liners...its hazard time for sure the only hazard being my xbox may blow up from this game exploding crap into the disc tray lol.
Wish me luck
Pzzz

It's just 40 points!!!
I don't even know where to begin with this one...."Trials HD" two words that strike fear into the heart of every gamer walking the planet lol.
I honestly have been trying for days inbetween other games to get one damn achievement on this game and guess how much it's worth? Yup you guessed right unless you missed the title it's just 40 f'n points!
Now I know it's stupid to chase 40 points and waste time when I'm against the clock as it is but this one has become an obsession haha I will not let it defeat me!
Basically what you have to do is ride a moto-x bike over 20 tracks without making any mistakes now as simple as that sounds believe me it's enough to make a priest join a satanic cult It is stupidly hard!
what makes it even more funny is the people who made this game released a game update to make it easier...EASIER? Lmao!
Well I think at this point in time it may be easier to crack the da Vinci code than beat this but I refuse to give up dammit! lol.
Expect some epic fail vids of me spending hours on this to be posted which I can promise will bring some laughs at my expense lol.
Anyway I have two games that I am ashamed to play arriving on my doorstep soon spiderman web of shadows (trust me not as good as the movies) and lost via domus (based on the hit or should I say *hit tv show, please don't flame me lol) so 2000 easy points are looking pretty certain :D.
On a side note thanks to everyone that has been willing to help towards the 100k so far!
Now I'm off to eat some bacon and get my gameface on which looks like this :| lol pzzzz
