My new comitment!

KontenderDon announcements

Hello guys! It has been a while since I posted here. People are still finding and visiting this blog mostly from my post about AC Valhalla tombs. It’s funny. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I have decided to start working towards #1 Achievement Hunter in Xbox history. Yes, current 2 leaders have over 6 million Gamerscore. That would mean I would have to add 4.6 million GS instantly to be #1. Of course it’s impossible, however, I decided to commit to at least 10K GS a day. By the end of this year, I shall add extra 1,610,000 GS (161 days left if started tomorrow – 24th of July).

Obviously, then I would have over 3 million GS (basically, I would double what I attained over 6 years (since November, 2018)). Throughout entirew 2026 I would add extra 3,650,000 which would make it 6.6 million GS to my name (obviously, a lot of guys who have 4 or 5 million would probably reach 7 million). Anyway, it’s a long term but doable.

So here’s what I am committing to:

  • 10K GS / day
  • at least 2 INDIE completions a month (one old, another new that is being released that particular month)
  • finish a game or two before the new game is released in the series (I’ll explain later)
  • keep working out at the gym (3 times a week)
  • keep walking/running (5 times a week)

Let me explain.

Before Saints Row 2022 came out, I played and finished Saints Row 3 Remastered, Saints Row IV Re-elected and Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell. Then I completed Saints Row (2022) with all the upcoming DLCs. That means I finish the last 4 Games in Saints Row series. When/If another Saints Row comes out, I will see if I can play and complete another older SR game before the new one comes out.

I will be doing the same with Assassin’s Creed series. I have platinum on AC Shadows on PS5. However, only 3 achievements on Xbox (don’t ask me why). So I will see if I can complete it before the new one comes out (rumours say it that AC BF remaster is coming later this year). Ideally, I’d like to work out another AC game (perhaps, Ezio Collection as I got all achievements for AC II and almost all achievements on ACB (got platinum on PS5 (again, don’t ask me why or how even though this one is considered one of the (if not the) hardest AC games to platinum/complete) and no achievements for ACR). I already got all achievements for Mirage, Valhalla (400 hours spent), Odyssey, Origins, Syndicate, AC II (Xbox 360 version) and AC 1 (yup, the one that started it all).

Currently going through Mafia series. It’s quite naive to expect I’d finish all 3 games before Old Country comes out in 2 weeks. Although, I only have to finish Mafia on Classic difficulty (damn you that stupid race) and some achievements on Mafia II (not even difficulty related). I also have a few achievements on Mafia III. But then again … there is Killing Floor III and Wuchang coming out later this week so might be putting Mafia series aside (I will play Old Country day 1, of course).

Explanation regarding Indie GAMES

In August 2025, a game called Viewfinder is coming out. It has been already released for PS5 and Steam but Xbox release is happening on 12th of August, 2025. So I might decide to play that one for August as a new game. And thenm, perhaps, Lake or Jusaint as an older Indie game for August.

Or, perhaps, decide to play 2 brand new Indie games in one month. Who knows …

My exercising commitments

Obviously, assuming my SEO business stays the same – 5 figures a month for couple of hours a day of work … it should NOT impact my achievement/Gamerscore hunting … however, sitting at my desk for work and staring at the monitor/TV for gaming is not good for my health.

Therefore, I commit that I will keep working out at the gym 3 times a week and also do my running/walking excerise at least 5 times a week. Also, while I stopped dancing for the time being (adjusting to type 2 diabetes and other things (I am 150 days sober, whoop) I still plan on coming back to dancing. So I promise that I will keep swing dancing … restarting in August.

Other blogging commitments

I also commit to keep blogging … and on daily basis. No, posts will NOT be generated with ChatGPT because this is my own blog, got nothing to do with business … therefore, I’d like to be me and keep my personal style for this blog. In this blog I will:

  • post daily, every morning, telling you about last night’s progress
  • write my reviews … my The Crew Motorfest review I did couple years ago still gets views and visits from big G!
  • write monthly posts of games I look forward to completed (100% achievements) and previous month’s highlights (amount of GS earned, best games played, etc …)

However, with this, at the moment I will NOT do:

  • write walkthroughs/achievement guides – I want to earn them so I won’t have time to write my own
  • do YouTube/Video content

Alright, I just said everything I wanted to say. I guess … see you tomorrow.
