So this is a blog...

Well hello there! This is my first blog I have ever written, and I'm sure you already know it is about my obsession, love, and hobby. The xbox 360 and its wonderful achievement system! I will generally be writing about my progress in games and my experiences with my friends on XBL. I have recently given up on pure gamerscore whoring. My attitude has shifted towards completion percent. I am trying to get as high a score as I can while completing all my games.  

At the moment I am fueled by competition through my great friend Marx0r. Him and I are quite close in Gamerscore and have similar goals. Prior to today we were both at 34 retail completions. But, today I finished up Mass Effect and did Jumper and NHL 2K6 in one sitting. So, that brings me to 37 and Marc still at 34. It is just a friendly competition, but the first to 50 retail completions wins a cookie... so keep that in mind.  

Just for the sake of tooting my own horn I'm going to throw some quick numbers your way. At the time of writing this I have:  

92% completion with 49,525 Gamerscore.  

A few impressive 100% games I have done: 

Guitar Hero II

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith

Rock Band

Rock Band 2

Gears of War

Gears of War 2

Rainbow Six Vegas

Tony Hawk's Project 8

Skate

Contra (XBLA)

Undertow (XBLA)

So, stay tuned for future updates in the world of Birk and achievements. Thanks for reading, keep it real.  

PS- Thanks to Marc and Stall for inspiring me to make one of these blog thing-a-mah-jigs!
