Gaming
- One of my favorite things to do is play video games. I currently have a Xbox 360, but I still love to play the classics on my NES, and GCN. I love a lot of different genres, my favorite being FPS and RPG. As mentioned before in the About Me section, my favorite games are Skyrim, GTA V, Farcry 3, and Minecraft. Here's the trailer or some gameplay of those games, to help you realize how awesome they are.

- Now that you've watched the trailers of those games, you see why I love them so much, and why I love gaming in general. But there's more than just simply playing the game, there's achievements. Achievements are little in-game goals that unlock once you complete a certain task. They can range from killing a certain boss, beating the game, or something unique, like collecting certain items. In every game there are 1000 points worth of achievements, normal equaling out to around 50 or 60 different achievements. One of my favorite things about gaming, is trying to get all 1000 points worth of achievements in a game.
- As of now, I currently have 16140 points of achievements, or as we call it "gamer score". With that 16140 gamer score, I have fully completed the achievement list of 4 games. Those 4 games are, Harm's Way, Assassin's Creed 2, Minecraft, and my proudest of the 4, Skyrim. The reason I'm so proud of completing Skyrim, is that it is a huge game, that require skill, and time to complete. But I even managed to complete all the DLC achievements, adding another 550 gamer score to try to unlock. And with such an amazing game like Skyrim I enjoyed every minute of the 152 hours I racked up over the course of a few months.

- A picture of my avatar, the character that represents me on Xbox Live. As you can see he is wearing a tuxedo, and a helmet from the game series, Halo. This helmet was a reward for beating the main campaign of Halo 4. I find the two pieces of clothing go well together, giving my avatar a unique look, and showing of my love for the Halo series.
- The picture also includes my "gamer tag", or name of my avatar. Mine is kyster9, a throwback to my username from previous consoles, and games. Under my gamer tag, is my current gamer score, as mentioned before it's 16140. And under that, is a few of my most recent achievements I've unlocked, all of those are from Minecraft.

Unfortunately I can't get all the achievements in some games. Some achievements are buggy or broken, others require online services that are no longer available, and in most cases, there too hard, or too time consuming. In some games I've come very close to getting all the gamer score, just one or two achievements stand in my way. What I love about achievement hunting is, there is always an achievement to go for, it always keeps me busy and entertained, the main purpose of gaming.
