Stallion83 will be in the 2010 Guinness Book of World Records for having the highest achievement score....317,523. He said he's shooting for 1 million. You can see his blog here. And I thought I was cool for having nearly 38,000. :(
Guiness World Record: Highest Gamer Score awarded
Can you even get a million yet? But dayum, if it's totally legitimate (I don't mean, ZOMGz Avatar am not hardcore! or game glitches, I mean no gamesave hacking) ten fair fucking play to the guy. If I had the time and money i'd probably be up there with him, when I get addicted to gamerscore it usually shoots up 10k or so in a week then i'm bored and onto the next shiny thing i've seen.

People can do anything and someone will still say "Man, that guy needs to get a life/get laid" Besides, at least he's doing 'something' instead of lounging around getting stoned and just being a general menace to society or whatever it is the kids usually do these days.

Why is he being praised for this?
Achievments are cool, but when it gets to the point where you're not spending your money to enjoy a game, but to increase your score, then we have a problem.
Yet when some sportsman scores (I don't know sports, a large, record breaking number) of (insert score terminology here)'s then people are all over it. When it involves video games instead it's just sad... Apparently.
the guiness book of world records have long been reaching for material to put in their books though every year they keep selling less and less, why would any one wanna buy a book and read about how other people did some inane shit to get an award?

Have all the breaks you want. But I really don't see what the distinction is, some guys great at bowling, woop, some guys great at running, woop, some guys great at videogames? Boooooo. While I wouldn't directly compare having a high gamerscore to those events, I would still consider other similar events in competitive gaming to be of equal worth, we really hold sport in too high a regard, to the point where many cities economies come to depend on sport, it's ridiculous.
It's kinda stupid awarding this record just after they have released the book of Guinness World Records 2009 Gamers Edition. They should have worked hard at getting everything finalized before it came out, then it could be included in the book. Now they have to wait until next years 2010 edition to do it.
Yeah, that's true. By them i'm sure someone will have overtaken him, that or his score will be hella bigger.
It's a pretty epic achievement and such but saying he's cool is stupid
there is no way that a guy who spends all his time on an xbox is cool
i like playing xbox and stuff but all day everyday is too much
" Posting on a gaming forum with an avatar of wario- sayign that a dude is needing ot get a life because of his gamerscore - seems a little more like 'he needs to get a life' than 'cool' "Yeahhh...uh no. Posting on a forum takes approx. 5 seconds. Getting a maxed out gamerscore requires nearly every waking hour.
Posting on a game forum =/= spending ALL your time playing video games
Stallion is a regulare at 360voice :D
I remember him having not that much more than me, then I stopped paying attention and now he has 300k? djezz.
"Guiness should be ashamed of themselves, if this is in then how should the world's tallest man feel about his record now? Answer: Like shit."
The worlds tallest man feels like shit anyway, I highly doubt he gives a fuck about his record given he has major back problems, severe arthritis, trouble even standing up and has to use TWO walking stick at all times.
@RsistncE:
And natural selection isn't playing a part in our evolution anymore because of the way our society works nowadays, honestly, I could give a shit that a guy can run X many metres in X many seconds, it doesn't matter in todays society any more than having 300,000 gamerscore. Sure, so long as you are healthy that's awesome and plenty of people who spend a lot of time playing games are still healthy and even if not all of them are, so what? Not all athletes are healthy either, just ask all the ones with shrunken testes, bone disorders, and all the boxers with brain damage. Real smart guys huh?

Oh well forgive me for not being able to sense tone of voice through text.

However I can agree with that fact that atleast he's not out knifing and shooting people I guess.
" Does he have a life?And when he goes up to that person to impress them all he can say is "I'm in the Guiness book of world records.He needs to find himself a women or man, depends what his preferences are."
They'll say "for what"?
And he'll say "for getting the highest achievement score on the Xbox 360".
Then that's when they laugh in his face. So the moral of this story is choose your life wisely. Cause once you do then the other group will look down on you.
I feel like I should point out that Stallion83 happens to have a Giant Bomb account. = D
