I think I’m on my way to becoming a Galaga Superstar on Xbox Live.  Everyone that has me on their friends list can give witness to how many hours a day I dedicate to this game. I haven’t had an addiction so intense since original Rainbow Six 3 on Xbox.  Unlike Rainbow Six 3, Galaga doesn’t monitor the hours I’ve invested… Thank God!!  The last thing I want is facts about how much of a nerd I’m becoming.

Every since I was a little girl I was fascinated with the arcade game, Galaga.  Probably because the concept was simple; destroy all the enemy spaceships, while avoiding contact with them and their bullets.  When my mom would take me to the movies I would sneak out just to play Galaga.  Although the concept is easy the game really isn’t.  I remember thinking, “How can people get past stage seven.” The ships just fly way to fast.  So you can imagine the excitement I felt when I made it to stage 14 when first playing it on Xbox Live.  Looking back now, that number is quite embarrassing.  Now I’m smashing that number.  All it took was a little incentive.  Here’s a list of many motivations that helped me to achieve my goals.

• SethWho had the highest score on my friends list - I wasn’t going to allow this to happen.  Achieved!
• I wanted to make the top 100 on the leader board. Achieved!
• Top 75 on Leader board! Achieved!

It’s not just my own personal goals that are driving me to achieve the number one spot.  Anim8rJB has told me if I made top 30 he will buy me Mc Donald’s and I can even get cheese on my hamburger. YAY!  Isn’t my man charming?  Since I am currently ranked #30 (score 628,350) he has now upped the Ante.

• #25- a PF Chang’s dinner
• #1- $200.00 for Victoria’s Secret.

So you can see where my addiction is coming from now… promising a girl Victoria’s Secret will guarantee her to become a Galaga Superstaaaaaaaaaaaar…
