Looks like the gamesavers days are numbered. For people who own a 360 and like to play for achievements we have been waiting a long time for this.
Gamerscore Corrections
About Gamerscore corrections
A gamerscore correction occurs on a player's LIVE account when they gain achievements through avoiding game play and the use of external tools. LIVE is committed to keeping the service free of this type of behavior as it violates the LIVE Terms of Use. When abnormal achievement or gamerscore activity is found, LIVE modifies the gamerscore of players who meet specific and automated criteria.
A LIVE player who obtained their gamerscore in this abnormal way will- Find their gamerscore reset to zero, and
- Be unable to regain all previously earned achievements, and
- Be labeled as a "cheater" for the community to view.
Questions and answers
Under what circumstances does LIVE correct a specific gamerscore?Specific and automated criteria are used to determine if a player has earned achievements by using tools that circumvent the game or avoid game play entirely. A player who meets these criteria has their gamerscore corrected.
How does LIVE know a player has been cheating on their gamerscore versus another player?We look for abnormal achievement and gamerscore activity using criteria that identifies users who have used external means to earn achievements without really playing the game. Users who play games legitimately to earn an achievements are unaffected by this.
Does being a "cheater" change a player's experience on LIVE?We only correct the player's current gamerscore and label them as a "cheater." This label can be observed on Xbox.com, and through the player's view of their gamercard on a console or PC connected to LIVE. They are still allowed to legitimately gain future achievements and the player's experience doesn't change in any other way.
I think I know someone who has been "cheating" – why haven't you corrected their gamerscore?For gamerscore corrections, cheating is when you gain achievements through avoiding game play and the use of external tools. If a player hasn't met specific criteria then we don't correct their gamerscore. If your definition of cheating is different, then gamerscore correction isn't the answer – you should consider reporting the user through the feedback reporting system. It is also possible that the player is not cheating at all.
I've had my gamerscore corrected, is there any way to appeal the decision?There is no way to appeal a gamerscore correction. We only correct gamerscores for players who meet the criteria 100%. Your best choice is to show the community you won't do it again.
But it was my little brother/roommate/guest that did this using my gamertag. Can I appeal? No. As is outlined in the Terms of Use you are responsible for all activity on your account.I'm worried I might get my gamerscore corrected. What should I do?Like the vast majority of Xbox LIVE members, if you earn achievements by playing through games like any other player, then you have nothing to worry about. Gamerscore correction only applies to players who use external means or avoid game play to earn achievements.
I've heard of other players getting banned. Why don't you just ban these gamertags?We believe in players reforming themselves, which is why gamerscore correction only applies to previously earned achievements. This allows these players to earn achievements like other "fair" players without having to get banned from LIVE. However, any user who violates the LIVE Terms of Use is subject to having their gamertag banned.Here is the infamous StripClubDJ

I'm so happy now. Formula 1 is back on TV again. I stayed up to watch the season opener in Melboure and it was a cracker.
I got a clip of testing session at Silverstone. This isnt mine I found it on youtube.
I used to live about 8 miles from Silverstone before I moved to Lincolnshire, I used to go with some mates on our bikes to watch the cars test. It was awesome.
EDIT: Scratch the vid, it doesnt want to embed and vixy.net cant connect to the server to download it so I got upload it here. I will try again later.

I'm really sorry guys and girls, its time for a rant. I was (and still am when writing this) watching "The most annoying TV moments we love to hate part 2 on BBC 3. And something came up that really annoys me. The thing(s) in question is Global Warming, Green Peace and 4x4s.
Ill start with Global Warming: I dont get the whole deal with it. Its plastered all over TV, "we're destorying the planet etc". If its that bad, why havent NASA invented a machine that takes in CO2 and pumps out good clean O2. Why (and this is where Green Peace come into this) then are people jumping on the "save the planet" bandwagon. Every time I walk down to college I get pestered from people who have slighty unkept beards, who have slighty too short trousers, who have a slighty strange smell about them. Now dont get me wrong, more wind farms are great and I'm all for cleaner energy sources as being asmatic. But what is the deal with attacking cars, 4x4's in particular. I'm a petrol head through and through, my first word was car for petes sake. the internal combustion engine has been with us for about 100 years give or take, why start attacking it now. yes cars are bad but only when you give numbskulls licenses. a car on its own does not hurt people. The moment you give someone who you know shouldnt be at the wheel a set for keys then its a recipe for disaster. But thats not worrying Green Peace, according to them we should be driving G Wizz's. So if we crash into each other all that would happen is if we're lucky is a piece of cracked plastic. This will turn British roads into a giant bumber car arena. The governmen is allowing them to bend and twist their arms by slapping cars that fall within the "gas guzzling" range with increased tax (was 200GBP but now I believe gone up to 400GBP). This includes most cars but more importly the 4x4, the farmers car of choice.
The car that was been a symbol of manliness. If you havent taken a 4x4 through a field then your a wuss. As of a few years ago 4x4s were found in area's where farming in a major business, out of Green Piece's sights. The moment some muppet decided to take little johhny to school in the husbands big landrover killed the 4x4 and its tough image. Then within a week every mum were jocking for postion outside the school gates in their Chelsea Tractors. The BMW X5 is just one the namby pamby "4x4s". These mums sit outside the school in these big cars that they cant see over the dam bonnet, gabbing on their mobile phone, pumping the air with nastiness. Now I'm not calling for 4x4s to be banned, just for them to be returned the place they once were, the place where they were loved not loathed. The place where you saw your local farmer and you smiled because you know he wa using his 4x4 to trek across his fields to get to his cattle, to herd the cattle back to the farm so they could be milked ready for your breakfast ceral the next day. The only time you saw a 4x4 it was caked in mud. However these new "soft roaders" run away and hide at the site of a puddle!
TopGear tried to show the people of Gloucesterhire that you dont need a 4x4 by going across Botswana in 2 wheel drive cars that really shouldnt of been working, they are still the only people to drive across the Makgadikgadi Pan non stop. I'm really sorry about that,
I justed needed to get that off my chest, and I know its Italics I pressed a button and couldn't get it to go back, I'm using my mums laptop and its dark.

I got two new items to add to my ever expanding collection. My free wireless headset arrived a couple of days ago, its very nice to use however the sound quailty is not as good as my wired mic, still it was free so must'n complain. The second item is a new faceplate, not just any faceplate mind. A very special one I won from Jam of the Fragdolls UK. I've never taken the faceplate off my 360 before so I was abit careful pulling it off, however getting the new plate back on was the hard part. I didnt want to break so I didnt push the clips in very hard. It took me 20 minutes! to work out how to get it on, but its now on and it looks very nice. Cannot wait for RSV2 next week.
P.S. I'd like to say a big thankyou to Jam, the Fragdolls and Ubisoft for these faceplates. I hope the other winners are enjoying them as much as me. Here are some pics

As many for you know games are very expensive, but how much do you spend on games. More importantly how much did you spend on games. I've totted up my collection and how much it would be worth if it were still full retail price. *prepare to be shocked*
(this is just for the 360) (Also as the pound symbol isnt working all currency will be refered to as GBP- Great British Pounds)
Xbox 360 Bundle = 320GBP- included Tomb Raide:Legend, PGR3 and second controller.
Play and Charge Kit- 15GBP
XBL GOLD 1yr= 40GBP
2100 MS points= 18GBP (x3)
XBL Vision Cam= 35GBP
Wireless Headset= Free
Now we're on to games (In no particular order)
Saints Row= 40GBP
Skate= 40GBP
Mass Effect (LCD)= 40GBP
Devil May Cry 4 (LD)= 40GBP
The Orange Box= 29.98 (sale price)
StrangleHold= 19.99GBP (sale price)
Army Of Two= 40GBP
Call Of Duty 4= 40GBP
Halo 3= 40GBP
Command & Conquer 3= 20GBP (pre-owned)
Forza 2= 40GBP
Beautiful Katamari= 40GBP
Burnout Paradise= 40GBP
King Kong= 25GBP
Fight Night R3= 40GBP
Fear= 10GBP
Star Trek Legacy= 30GBP
Lego Star Wars II= 20GBP
Flatout UC= 30GBP
Battle Stations Midway= 25GBP
Test Drive Unlimited= 30GBP
Bioshock= 40GBP
Crackdown= 40GBP
Assassin's Creed= 40GBP
Dead Rising= 40GBP
Now that makes a total of = 1,263.97
Now if we factor in any A/V equipment
PC monitor= 155GBP
Speakers= 30GBP
VGA Cable= 20GBP
The total amount= 1,473.97GBP (2,966.96 US$) (1,924.48 Euros)
Thats a lot of money, but thats over the entire course of owning a 360 since January 07.

3Mar 08Well I had my GCSE maths module 5 exam today, and I can safely say I hated every single minute of it.
. The first paper was the calculator paper, that was ok, hard but ok, the non calculator paper i might as well of been banging my head on the desk. The amount of practise papers and revision did not prepare me for the horrors that lay in store for me on that paper. Even my maths teacher said it was the hardest paper he'd ever seen and hes been teaching maths for 15! years! I ended up doing about 3 questions on that dam paper. Anyway, I got some GREAT news. MY 360 HAS RETURNED TO ME! It arrived today and was signed for by the old (nice) lady next door. I shall make a less than restrained dive back into the screaming (at times) cesspool that is XBL.- Posted Mar 3, 2008 10:33 am PT

Well its been a bit of an up-down week for me. I had two asignments to give in last week, I have an maths GCSE exam tomorrow ( I failed it back in school, I got a D) I'm currently at B level at the moment and its the higher tier
. Weather's been terrible, really high winds making something squeak in the chimmy was is driving me crazy. I hope to be getting a job in a new GAME store, just got to write my CV tonight and stick it in the post, hopefully this can get my mum to stop nagging me about it. Also I could start driving lessons by the end of March, beginning of April. RESULT! During one of my many interwebz trawls I've stumble upon Lastfm, its a great site for discovering new music. Just type in band or type of music you like and it brings up alsorts all stuff you might "also" like. Ive been trying out a pic of me as my avatar, I've been getting a few responses to it but do you guys like it?

Its a perfect time to update my blog. My sleep pattern has been really messed, because i get two days off college which are on stupid days (tuesday and thursday), so i go to sleep really late and wake up at miday. Anyway moving swiftling onwards.
Wednesday night, i experienced like many others in England, a earthquake!
. Dang that was scary stuff. sorry if this blog seems to be rambling its because im short of ideas. I should be getting a new game for my currently MIA 360, I say should because the people at my local GAME may not have it in. The game in question is Beautiful Katamari. Now ive been "dissed" constanly by the "3 stooges" on my course over this game. They think Im getting this game for achievement points but thats not the case. Every since I downloaded this from the US marketplace last year I fell in love with this game, its quikyness, its acid trip style graphics, the crazy idea of actually rolling a ball made up from bits of the level. Why is it when a game isnit boom filled shooter' em' up or a balls out racing game, it having "kid" graphics it is considered stupid and wussy and only worth whoring it for the points. They complain that the 360 doesnt have enough vartiy, that its filled with shooters. When given a game thats different , its labeled as crap and childness and people who bought it are ridiculed. Im sorry about that outburst I just needed that off my chest.Good news on my MIA 360, I rang M$ today and they told me it was waiting at the service centre waiting for UPS to pick it up. So depending on how fast UPS are, it could be back in my tender loving care on friday (thats actually the day now since its past midnight lol) saturday, or anytime next week. When it arrives home ill let you guys know.

So you may (or not) of wondered why im called "clyde46". A strange name for modern times. Well if you can see the pic of the cat just above this post, that is or now was "clyde". Sadly hes been put to sleep. I needed a name for when i signed up and that was the first thing i thought of.
Still no news on my 360, but as my mum keeps telling me. "Its only been a week". So aside from that nothing has happened to me. Hope everybody else is having fun.

Ok this may sound odd, but as i sit here, bored stiff ive been thinking. What did i do for entertainment before i had my 360. It propbly doesnt help that its so cold outside, so i cant really go outside. Anyway lets move on.
On monday, the bus i go on to college has reenforced the idea of hating public transport. the timings are unpredictable so i have to get to the bus at least 10 mins before just to wait a further 20mins in the cold, this may not be so bad if the bus got there at 8:30am but due Grantham's bad traffic management it gets to my villiage at 7:45 which means (due to my laziness) i have to fall out of bed at 7:30, throw my clothes on (dont worry i have a shower evey night), miss having my breakfast
and stumble out the door all in 10mins and still half asleep (forget to mention to have to clean my teeth aswell in that time period). things get worse when the bus finally does arrive. The bus also picks up the secondary school kids. Jesus Christ on a bike they are annoying, loud and downright disgusting. again this wouldnt be so bad it the bus could seat all of them. But even a double decker can fit all them on. Luckly i get on early so i get a seat. The problems dont stop there, because the bus is old the seats can be mistaken for concrete blocks so when we do finally get into Grantham i have a numb backside. So it arrives at stupid times, crowded and uncomfortable and it leaves at stupid times. Most of my courses end at around 3 so you'd think i could get on the school back, but nooo, it seems that the schools have a contract on it, which means i cant get on it So i have to wait to 16:55 as thats the only bus back to my villiage.Thankyou for reading my rant and sorry of the first bit, it didnt make sense to me either
