Achievement hunting!

I used to be an achievement addict, then I stopped going for gamerscore and just played games because it's fun. Now I've started somewhat again, I'm competing with a friend and want to beat that person's score in the near future. Here's my progress in October, recorded by the excellent page trueachievements.com:
I was on 4375 gamerscore in the start of November (I happen to know that I've already beaten last month since I'm on 5500 now ^^), it'll be interesting to see what my score is in December.

My humble Gears of War collection

Finally getting sorted in the new flat. It's not as nerdy as the old one, but at least I have the arcade and games and stuff. These are my favourite  shelfs:
 And on my fridge:

 Here's an overview:

Comic Con / Gamex Stockholm!

Had such an awesome time last weekend at the Comic Con / Gamex exhibition!
You could try lots of games (but the queues were really long, so I didn't play anything).  They had Halo 5, Star Wars: Battlefront, Just Cause 3, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Mirror's Edge 2 etc. 
I found Gears of War: Ultimate and stood there watching people play and talked to a friend who works at Microsoft, that was nice.
I am so important I got to use the VIP Press entrance and didn't have to stand in line ^^
Besides being able to try new games, the fair also had lots of nerdy things to buy, illustrators who were there, Ian McEhlhinney and Ian Beattie (actors from Game of Thrones) were there giving autographs, there was a panel discussing games and comics, the Heavy Metal band Sabaton was there, lots of cosplayers etc.
It was just great fun!
