2013 videogame targets update and 2014 videogame targets

Fail

I made three posts in January of 2013 outlining some targets I had for the coming year, and all of them started well, but fizzled out towards the end. I reckon that if I acknowledge my mistakes, I can learn from them. I’m tackling the videogame targets in this post – You can find the original one here, if you’re interested.

As you can see if you follow that link – I failed my attempt at reaching 100,000 Gamerscore in 2013. I’m not really bothered by this, as I (finally) learned that my time is worth more than some arbitrary number, and I had fun playing some great games in 2013, and that’s what counts. Still, I have made a new target, which roughly works out at 50% of the Achievement score of all the games in my pile of shame, I think. I reckon 50% is about right for any story or Campaign related Achievements in all the games on the list.

Goodbye 2013

So what happened in 2013 then? It was another mixed bag. The best thing ever happened: I stopped smoking. And I don't even miss it. I'm not suffering from some black depression because I'm holding myself back from smoking my precious cigarettes, I'm not deluding myself by switching to an eCigarette, I'm not counting down the hours until I can…

Friday Update 27/12/13

I have pretty much been sat on my arse watching classic old movies and decent new movies, as well as some general Christmas programmes on the idiot box. The Great Escape, a few Star Wars films, and the Doctor Who Christmas special was quite... special. I had really bad diarrhoea on Christmas Day and Boxing Day (it's only really clearing…
Cookie Clicker

Cookie Clicker

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. Hi there, RGFers! This week, I am playing Cookie Clicker. Well, I'm participating in it, erm, I guess. I'm not really sure what I'm doing with this game to be honest. Am I watching? I do occasionally click, but I don't feel particularly instrumental in the outcome. The aim…
Nanaca Crash

Nanaca Crash

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. This weeks random game is an old favourite of mine - Nanaca Crash. We used to have a high-score table in The Arena on an old iteration of the forum, I cannot recall who was top and with what score. The aim of the game is to use Nanaca…

Friday Update 20/12/13

I've been playing a little Street Fighter X Tekken this week, learning the ropes as it were, and it's not as fun as Super Street Fighter IV. It feels too tight and a little shonky. I've also been playing some Adventure Time: Explore The Dungeon Because I Don't Know (yes, that is the actual title). I've covered my affection for…
Hyperpath

Hyperpath

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. Random Game Friday: Hyperpath. So, in this game, I guess you are some kind of General in charge of a fleet of colonizing spacecraft that can turn barren planets into ones that are ideal for you to inhabit. You can also terraform other races planets as well, which is…
Infectionator Hot Chase

Infectionator Hot Chase

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. A little later than usual, but here it is. This week's random game is Infectionator Hot Chase, which is kind of a mix between an endless-runner and a Nanaca Crash-style long-jump game in that you have to avoid certain things to run further, but also collect other things to…
