I don’t play it so 0 points for me, but if you do head on over to www.wow-achievements.com where you can see your achievement points and your standing amongst other players. They have a RSS feed too.
Couldn’t find Leeroy Jenkins on there though

Not a bad game. I enjoyed the previous Xbox titles, and whilst this one lacks graphically, and at times feels a little barren and sterile; its worth a punt. The cut scenes though, I swear some of them are longer than the actual missions. Playing through it, it does however really make me want to see a next gen Full Spectrum Warrior.
Achievements wise, its pretty straight forward, I manage to grab 890 gs in one playthrough. With a bit of time travel shindiggery its possible to bag the Obsessive (Played the game on 100 different days) and Committed (While connected to Xbox LIVE, played the game once a week for three months) without actually doing either.
The Remember September ’44 (While connected to Xbox LIVE, play the game on September 17th) achievement cant be fooled however as it requires a connection to Xbox Live, so (providing I can grab it of my mate again) Il be booting this up on September 17th. Thinking about it, ill set up a automatic post and tweet for the September 17th so I remember to do so.
ta ta for now.
After around 67 hours I finally finished Fallout 3 over the weekend, grabbing 810 of the 1100 points available (including the achievements from he premium DLC Operation: Anchorage)
I thoroughly enjoyed it, even if it did seem to end a bit suddenly… I managed to finish all the side quests with caried achievements using some nifty save game management, and I will definitely being going back to it at some point to get the remaining bobbleheads (found about 5/20) but I’ll hold back until the new DLC appears.
On the next game…
Stats. I like them. Particularly game related stats. I guess its why gamerscore is such a pull for me, and one of the reasons I put together the weekly gamerscore updates each week right here.
These days with console online connectivity being available right out of the box, systems such as Achievements, Trophies and Steam all provide accessible solutions for developers and publishers to gather some insightful data, stats, on their respective communities and player gaming habits.
Some forward thinking when deciding how achievements and Trophies are awarded, can provide some insightful data once a game is released, and in the hands of the player. What map is most popular? What percentage of people play on difficulty X? What percentage of people have purchased downloadable content? What percentage of people actually finish the game? All of these are pretty straight forward to track, and with a little creativity, more specific data could be tapped into also, which in turn could (and should IMO) influence and feed into the decision making process about what direction possible sequels and updates could take.
Anyway, back on to the stats. Ive been revisiting giantbomb.com over the last couple of days, as I’ve decided to give their podcast a go after several recommendations, particularly now that the 1up series of podcasts are to be no more.
Browsing giantbomb.com I noticed a link to the blog of Robert Bowling – AKA Fourzerotwo – Director of Communications/Community Manager over at Infinity Ward. He recently posted some interesting stats for Call of Duty 4, after hitting a mammoth 10,006,606 unique users who have ever played on CoD4 on Xbox 360 and have connected to Xbox Live at least once:
That number got us curious as to how many of those 10 Million+users finished the F.N.G. mission, or beat Airplane on Veteran (among other things). Well, it turns out:
71.1%, or 7,111,508 people have completed F.N.G. – That’s more than the entire population of Hong Kong (which is 7 Million).
68.8%, or 6,886,509 people have completed Cargo Ship. – This is the same number of adults in the US who were morbidly obese in 2005.
46.5%, or 5,654,643 people have beaten the game on any difficulty. – This is more than the current population of Finland!
2.8%, or 283,632 people have completed Airplane on Veteran difficulty. – The population of Stockton, CA is 280,000.
So if you have one of these on your gamercard:
You can sleep sound in the knowledge your are in the 2.8% of players around the world who have achieved such a feat 
(well at least of those players connected to Live) Additionally if you managed to finish the first level (Cargo Ship) you can also proudly say you are not in the 31.2% who didn’t.
A few of the members of the l337sheet right here actually have their own wiki page on giantbomb by the way, head on over to the site, go to the search box and enter you name to see if you there!
I got my 360 around launch day, and although that has since suffered a RROD and was replaced last year, I still have and use the same controller from my original deck.
When I brought a new up 360 controller earlier this week, I immediately noticed this new controller felt a bit, different … Check it out:
n00b 360 Controller
VS
Veteran 360 Controller
Yep after years of play, the nubs on the left thumbsticks on the old controller have actually been worn down… the right nub has more or less completely gone. Master Chief himself would be proud of this battle scarred veteran.
