Well, hello Giant Bomb world! This is my first blog post however i've been a member of the site since its conception. I've loved every single thing about the website, even Jeff and Ryan's microcasts on AudioBoo.

Well, hello Giant Bomb world! This is my first blog post however i've been a member of the site since its conception. I've loved every single thing about the website, even Jeff and Ryan's microcasts on AudioBoo. Basically, with the new achievements feature, I thought i'd use the blog to set (and hopefully complete) video game based challenges using the new achievements feature. I'm going to be honest - I will be starting small, however hopefully that will grow in size. At the minute, most of my aims will probably be rank-based, however expect that soon to move on to "gain all achievements" or "gain super-hard achievement", something like that. Of course, with the grade boundaries constantly changing, I might move back to the rank-based ones at some point. Now, with no further a do, let's move on to my first aim.

  • Get (and maintain) every game to at least a C rank.
At the minute, my D rank games include: Blue Dragon, EndWar, Skate, GTA IV PC, Need for Speed: Carbon, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Banjo-Kazooie and Joust. I plan on this for being a fairly long-term goal as i'm not a particually great fan of any of these games. I will admit, I love GTA IV, but i've already played it quite a lot on the Xbox 360 (however haven't completed it). Hopefully, i'll pull my finger out and get NFS: Most Wanted done by my next update, and possibly Joust.
