Well, I finally got my Gamerscore up to 50K on my new current primary account. My old has 37K. I think I had about 46.6K before new years. If you are wondering, I got it on Viva Piñata (got about 800 Gamerscore in the last 2 days on that game). If I were adventurous, I might go for 100K between the two this year (but that would be about 13K more)

Game Room: 2 Years Later
It has been a loooong two years since Game Room graced the world with Game Pack 013 (sadly, the last one released). Games like Midway Arcade Origins make me miss Game Room more. i would have preferred those games in Game Room format. So, what is the current state of leaderboards. If you are lucky, maybe i'll even eventually add graphs/charts - later, much later.
As of December 27, 2012, Game Room has some of the following stats.
* Total Leaderboard Number (Ranked Games): 495,388 (pretty safe bet to say overall it did 500K)
* Estimated Sales (at 87.5% of Leaderboard): 433,464
* Estimated Sales By Publisher (Ranked Games):
- Atari: 168,177
- Activision: 50,644
- Intellivision: 28,334
- Konami: 186,220
* Estimated Sales By Platform (Ranked Games)
- Arcade: 326,200
- Atari 2600: 78,841
- Intellivision: 28,334
* Predicted Gross Revenue For Game Room (Range - Ranked Games):
- $1.3 to $1.48. I guess it would be a fairly safe bet to say Game Room did $1.5 million in sales.
Year to Year Changes in Leaderboards:
- Apparently I only used charts, not data tables - that is unfortunate
Linkage to my SkyDrive Numbers: https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=c67fdccca0fc034e#!/edit.aspx?cid=C67FDCCCA0FC034E&resid=C67FDCCCA0FC034E%21683&app=Excel

Video Game Resolution #2 Complete, 20 games
Well, I finally completed my #2 video game resolution for 2013 (the first one is 50K cumulative Gamerscore)
Yes, I currently have 20 games on the list of my Xbox 360. The games with "*" will turn into uncompleted games the next time I run them (new DLC). All of these were completed in 2011 or later. They are (in reverse order of completion):

Video Game Resolutions 2013
2013, it still seems awkward saying it (i'm sure it would be more awkward writing it for a while).
So, what are my gaming related resolutions this year? I may have set my sights pretty low, but there is currently only one 2013 release (South Park: The Stick of Truth) that currently interests me.

My End of the Year Games Presents
Well, 2012 is coming to a close. Allegedly, the next generation will start towards the end of 2013 (no the WiiU doesn't really count for me). The only currently announced 2013 game I am interested in is the South Park: The Stick of Truth.
So what did I get for Xmas/the end of the year metropolitan policy. I guess these games have to last me a while, since I currently don't intend to go "next gen". Many of these were Black Friday deals (or online - I did take advantage of some Xmas XBLA points and Xbox Live sales), a few were presents.

Karaoke (Xbox 360 Apps): Impressions
Yesterday saw the release of an app on the Xbox 360 (i think you find it in the app section) titled "Karaoke". This seems to be an iNiS game (they did Lips on the 360) and a Karaoke Channel license. It is free to download and currently has 5 free songs per day.
So how is the app? Well, i would say middling.

Game Room Report for October 2012
It is closing in on a whole two years without any new content. i guess the odds of new content coming out are probably about the same as me winning a large (multi-state) lottery jackpot.
Observed Leaderboard Increases (October 11 - November 12, 2012):
* Battlantis (+10,000)
* Konami GT (+100)
* Missile Command (+1,000)
* Pinball (+1,000)
* Plaque Attack (+100)
* Quadrun (+100)
Summary:
For the last several weeks, i have observed 7 or so increases. Over this period i noticed only 6 increases for a leaderboard increase of 12,300. The big increase was Battlantis (a launch pack title) finally ascending to the 20,000 mark. Will there be any other new 20,000 leaderboard games in the future? i would say doubtful. Though if i did have to pick a few i would say Astrosmash, Lunar Lander and Red Baron have the best shots. No new titles passed the 1,000 leaderboard mark, though Konami GT and Plaque Attacked inched closer (the 800 mark).
Cumulative Stuff (maybe i'll get into more detail on the 2 year anniversary of the last pack):
* Estimated Ranked "Sales" (at 87.5% of leaderboard): 423,662
