100,000 Gamerscore In a 31 day month

McTennisD has raised the highly debated topic I have brought up. 100,000 Gamerscore in a 31 day month. Many find this amazing feat impossible but I find it very likely with the right amount of games, time and dedication. What do you think?

CoolKidJoe: The Midnight Madness Asshole

Ok so when it comes to midnight video game releases, I have to be the biggest asshole there. I always have to get my shit first so my experience is always in, out, then home to play. Guitar Hero, Star Wars Force Unleashed II, and even Kinectimals, despite not even having the Kinect sensor yet. Aside from that, I wanna talk about Halo: Reach and Call of Duty: Black Ops the most. On 9/14, when Halo Reach was launched, I attended Gamestop's midnight launch of the game. I got all my stuff and was out at 11:58pm I felt the need to go before everyone else, seeing as though I was in fact spending the most money, grabbing a Halo: Reach Console, Legendary Edition, Normal Edition, and a copy of Truth or Lies for some easy Gamerscore. Everyone wanted the Halo: Reach countdown clock. Who got it? THIS GUY!
Next let's talk about Call of Duty: Black Ops. I had not reserved a copy of this game until 6pm on 11/8, the Monday before the launch. There was already 2 people in line. One had been there since 1pm and one since 4:30pm. I had a conversation with both asking why they were waiting because I didn't understand. There is no bonus for being first except saying "I'm the loser who's been waiting for 11 hours so I can say I was first." Anyways, I get there at around 11:45 at night, and there has to be around 350-400 people in line. I casually walked in front of the whole line and when they let people into the store I went first and walked out with my game at 11:56. So after 11 minutes of waiting, I got my game before someone who had been waiting 11 hours. Moral of this story: Don't wait so long for something I am interested in, I will cut you in line.
I am such an asshole but that is why you should never wait so long. Because of people like me. Sadly, I do this every midnight launch event, and no one ever says anything. The sad thing is, the Gamestop employees have picked up on what I do, and they think it's hilarious that I get away with it every time
