newcomers newcoming

ok after some forum posting we have some applicants that are interested in joining up. look for them to appear in the upcoming posts and updates to the chart. and of course the weekly update has been completed as well. on a personal note, i have officially conquered the 10k mark. w00t! i have to give some credit to Kiraa who joined or recent 360voice challenge. not only has he challenged me far beyond what i am capable of, he has provided me with some useful game leads for future. so a big thanks for that. if you actually check on the challenge, you may note that he is doing an incredible job of owning the board. i am slowly trailing, but i do not know if i have enough time to even catch up to him.
two new games to add to my retail completion: Robert Ludlum's: The Bourne Conspiracy; Sonic's Ultimate Game Collection

i would add both to being reasonably easy to complete to 100% no-online achievements. there is a glitch that helps with the Bourne Conspiracy that makes the difficulty achievements considerably more maleable than they appear. and with the exception of one particular game in Sonic's UGC (i'm looking at you Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine), the other achievements are generically easy, and involve almost natural game playthrough.

also, as soon as i figure out how, we are going to be adding some sigs to our post. to fancy pants this place up a bit. they will include, but not be limited to, our chosen pic as well as one of these handy little do-hickies

sure, i could manually add this to each post manually, but what's the point of coding if you aren't going to bother to use it.
