A real Xbot grabs PDZ achievements

by Richard Mitchell { Feb 19th 2007 at 12:30PM }

360 Fanboys, Xbots, Micro$ux, these are all words that are bandied about on your typical Microsoft/Sony flame war. We're naturally fond of the fanboy moniker (we're taking it back), but we've got a soft spot for Xbot, too. Xbot evokes the image of Bill Gates leading his robot army towards the impending Robot Apocalypse®, and that makes us smile. Imagine our excitement when we saw this video of a working Xbot. Unfortunately, it doesn't conquer the world, it just plays Perfect Dark: Zero. In fact, it doesn't really even play per se. Created by David Harr (gamertag: Diego Knyte), it just starts another match once the current match ends. Why, you ask? To earn 60 gamerscore points, of course! The robot was built specifically to complete the "Played 1000 Dark Ops Games" and "Played 1000 Deathmatch Games" achievements. It supposedly took 10 hours to design and build. All this to avoid 40 hours of gameplay. That's 30 hours saved! Good job, Diego Knyte!

Another nail in the coffin of playing games for the sake of playing...all thanks to gamerscore achievements and the people who covet them this much.

Im sure all those gamerscore whores, no, sluts?...no...PROSTITUTES! are sure wanting one of those for their accounts.

BTW i mean prostitutes as a more serious word for those X-Treme gamerscore addicts

P.S.- I spell extreme with an X up above cause those people are over the edge
