Boosting to Boost

You take a look at Pixel Response and what do you see? If the answer was reviews of video games and music, you're a smart mother fucker.

Me, well, I'm not a review guy. I mean hell, I'll write you a review, but later. Right now, I'm more concerned with earning achievements.

Gamerscore. My nemesis and best friend. The ultimate virtual dick measuring contest of the 21st Century so far. At first, I was determined to beat my best friend and I did. I made a decision in the beginning of my 360 ownership to play crappy games, like King Kong or CSI, to boost my score. Easy points right? Wrong. King Kong made me want to light my balls on fire and I actually fell asleep while playing CSI and I still beat it.

As time wore on, I started playing real games with real challenges mostly. Still, I was drawn to boosting my score. I constantly checked online guides just so I could find inane treasures or feathers.

If you're on my friend's list on Xbox Live and I notice you're ahead of me in gamerscore, I will do stupid shit just to catch up to. Like play NHL 07 by myself with the second controller turned on to eliminate any challenge.

I'm a Gamerscore Whore. And it's awesome.
