Since April 23rd, 2007 I have been on a collision course with this goal. I wanted to pass the 50,000 gamerscore plateau. I don’t know why this became a goal but it did. It took a year and 5 months but I finally completed my quest. It took 135 days to go from 40,000K to 50,000K with an average gain of 74 points per day. So I thought I would take a moment and archive some fun facts from the beginning and this latest and final points quest. I look forward to finally playing only games I am interested in playing and spending more time on other hobbies (Running, etc….).
1) Longest Consecutive Days Played Streak – 72
2) Retail Titles Completed – 14
3) World Gamerscore Ranking – 2501 (As of September 30th – 360voice.com)
4) Achievements Gained since the beginning – 1879 (Avg. 27 points per achievement)
5) Completion Percentage (0 score games removed) – 48%
8) Total Games Retail (118)/Arcade (44) Owned – 162

I will still play the titles that interest me but I am no longer just playing for score.
The fact that you know all this stuff and keep track of it is just plain sick. You sir, are a strange man. :-) And I dont believe for one second that you wont keep playing games for points.
Hahaha, nice Eric. I will do my best to play for entertainment vs. points. 60K just does not have the ring of 50K to me. 75 to 100…. that is a different story ;)
Only way you can prove that you won’t play for score is to pick up COD4 and play multiplayer to get all the weapon unlocks. No points will be awarded for that feat.
I don’t know about you but I am driven by achievements. Yes I hear the laughter now and see the nodding
