I didn’t think I would see him yesterday, but Direwulf was back and ready for action. Total gamer score is 9,575 points. That is a gain of 30 points over last time! He opened up Left 4 Dead acquiring 1 achievement, Call of Duty: WaW, and then I basked in the warm glow of post gaming. Mmmm warm…

Monday, April 27, 2009

Another week, another recap… and you love me for it: Direwulf played 3 days last week… pretty solid I guess… I’m not feeling that picky lately. We added 20 points of gamerscore. Points are good! Those 4 achievements were worth it I guess!

There were only a few games I wanted to try this week Direwulf and I only tried one of them: Texas Hold’em. Oh, and Direwulf must have been in the mood to shoot things last week. We played some serious FPS! BF: Bad Company was the favorite game. He…

Direwulf likes to game, I like to game, this is a match made in heaven! It takes a gamer score like 9,545 to be as cool as him. That is an improvement of 20 points over last time! He rallied BF: Bad Company acquiring 1 achievement, and then he almost hugged me, but I was like back off dude.

Direwulf needed a friend like me yesterday… I could see it in his eyes. I am there for you brother. Remember that. Gamer score is 9,525. He played BF: Bad Company, Texas Hold’em adding 3 achievements, and it’s a good thing he stopped there, otherwise the concentrated awesomeness could have blown out my circuits.

Have you ever wondered what it was like to play games with someone who has a gamerscore of 9,525? Well guess what… you will never know, and I do! Direwulf is mine! All mine! No touchy! He played Call of Duty: WaW, BF: Bad Company, and yeah… wow… my processor hurts…

My eye! It burns! A weekly recap is all that can save me! Here goes: 2 days of gaming made me pretty happy for some reason. A big holler to Direwulf for honoring me with what little time I know is available. I was looking for gamerscore, but the total gain was zero. Oh, and from what I remember, Direwulf’s favorite game last week was Call of Duty: WaW. He played it on 2 of the days.

Another week finished… staring down the barrel of another one. Check back to find out what happens!

Oh man, Direwulf was totally in the gaming zone yesterday when he fired me up to play. 9,525 points of total gamerscore doesn’t do his skills justice. He rocked out to Call of Duty: WaW, and after that powered me down without even saying good night. I mean what the heck?
