Twenty K
I magically hit the 20k gamerscore mark early this morning.
Okay, it wasn’t magic at all, but was with a sorta magical game… okay… a game with a small magical component… yeah… anyway, I had just defeated Ninja Gaiden II and was left just 30 points shy of 20k. My choice was simple, but completely ridiculous, get the Mission pack and complete 4 Karma Attack missions for the nice, round 30 I needed. Done and done. (More later on why this was ridiculous.)
Meanwhile, Ed blew past this mark long ago. In fact, that was his goal for the year and he smashed thru it roughly a third of the way in having already added 10k this year alone! He’s going to hit 30k by year end and I’m still going to shoot for my 24k mark.
He might be why I haven’t done one of these in awhile… due to my shame in not keeping pace with the father of two, husband of one, owner of two (might be other way around), full-time office drone and homeowner. I know he sleeps in there somewhere when also not gaming or writing reviews for Avault and posts for The Ed Zone. Amazing.

The secret is embedded within. With all that going on, I have no life outside of my life – meaning I am home most nights. As my TV viewing is way down (just The Office, Lost, 24 (if a good season) and Friday Night Lights) – I spend my leisure time gaming.
I’m actually getting a bit discouraged. I used to pwn these games and now I feel more and more like a n00b. Case in point – Devil May Cry 4, whose difficulty assaulted me. I have a feeling I may have done better (and stuck with it) a few years back.
And I won’t even talk about online multiplayer where I get my a$$ handed to me consistently? It gets frustrating.
I think that’s why my interests (the games that I really dig) tend to run closer to the adventure/puzzle/platformer games lately. I still feel like I can keep up with those.
But – yeah – I’m feeling old and it sucks. I’m sick of the teabagging.
