360 Blog?

WHAT? LOL

I don't understand that...

Lets say yesterday I noted down that your top five most recently played games are:

Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, Halo 3, Gears of War, Barbie Horse Adventures.

Today I note down that the top five games are in the same order. So does that mean that you have played Mass Effect again and so it is your top game, or perhaps you played fifty games yesterday but the last five were in exactly the same order as before, or lastly you haven't played at all so your top games haven't changed.

How do I record if you have spent any time playing games yesterday? It's a head scratcher.

Hmmm...I'm still not 100% what your getting at but I am in a bit of a world of my own right now.

How this blog works is pretty simple unfortunately.

Say I played Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, Halo 3, Gears of War, Barbie Horse Adventures on Monday so it will look like this...

Mass Effect - 1 day
Assassin's Creed - 1 day
Halo 3 - 1 day
Gears of War - 1 day
Barbie Horse Adventures. - 1 day

On the same next day I do the same it will obviously blog them as played again on another day so they'll be 2 days played.

IF I played Mass Effect 10 times during a day with 10 minute intervals, the blog would not record this and will just record it the one time played.

He understands that, he is trying to work out how they get the feed to see if the game has actually been played though. Theres picks it up via the last played online date i think and thus can see if you played Game x today, whereas at the moment he is picking it up from the last played list - i.e my last played game was SWOS - yet that was yesterday, so if his system ran today it would count SWOS being played today... even though it hasnt

Exactly. I am gathering all of my data from the Xbox Live gamercards (e.g. http://gamercard.xbox.com/en-GB/sid the turtle.card) which doesn't give me info such as last played time.

You could try emailing the site and asking? Or asking on the xbox forums?

I think I will. A couple of the huge sites that already do this kind of thing get the data feed directly from MS, but they don't let anyone apart from them access the feed

Anyway enough with the thread hijack
