The only <em>slightly</em> avid gamer <a href="http://live.xbox.com/en-US/profile/profile.aspx?pp=0&amp;GamerTag=Stallion83">Stallion83</a> (we can only assume Stallion1 through 82 died due to severe thumb inflammation) is half-way to his goal of achieving one million Gamerscore on Xbox 360, having hit the 500,000 mark in Achievement points on Friday. The (long) journey to the half-million milestone began in "early 2006," according to <a href="http://www.1milliongamerscore.com/2010/10/500000-gamerscore.html">his blog</a>, and ended by unlocking the "Tournament of Chumps" cheevo in <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/Wallace-and-Gromits-Grand-Adventures"><em>Wallace &amp; Gromit's Grand Adventures</em></a> for XBLA. (In the fourth episode, "The Bogey Man," specifically.)<br />
<br />
You can see a replay of the moment in the video we've popped in after the break. As for one million Gamerscore, Stallion83 writes that, "It's going to be a long process getting to 1,000,000, but hopefully I can make it there someday." Best of luck, and we'll be sure to post about your descendant, Stallion166, when he makes it!<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/10/17/the-guy-with-the-half-million-gamerscore/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>The guy with the half-million Gamerscore</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/10/17/the-guy-with-the-half-million-gamerscore/">The guy with the half-million Gamerscore</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Sun, 17 Oct 2010 19:30:00 EST.

Xbox 360 Achievements for <em>Wallace &amp; Gromit</em>'s adventure (already <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/05/05/second-wallace-and-gromit-episode-the-last-resort-available-n/">ongoing</a> on PC) have surfaced and <a href="http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/wallace-and-gromit-episode-1/achievements/">X360A.org</a> have scooped them up. Like any other XBLA title, <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/wallace-and-gromit">Wallace &amp; Gromit's Fright of the Bumblebees</a> </em>includes a possible 200 Gamerscore points to help players pad their personal Xbox profile "baseball card" statistics.<br /> <br /> Fans of the famous British-born, stop-motion clay animation series will notice the careful attention <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/Telltale">Telltale Games</a> put into the achievements -- primarily the the multiple achievements referencing Wallace's love for cheese. Here's hoping the XBLA translation for the adventure game turns out as <em><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gouda_%28cheese%29">Gouda</a></em> as the <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/03/30/joystiq-review-wallace-and-gromits-fright-of-the-bumble-bees/">PC version</a>. <a href="http://www.instantrimshot.com/">Amirite</a>?<br /> <div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/wallace-and-gromits-grand-adventures/">Wallace &amp; Gromit's Grand Adventures</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/wallace-and-gromits-grand-adventures/#1241573"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2008/12/wg_-screen_basement_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/wallace-and-gromits-grand-adventures/#1241572"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2008/12/wg_screen_gromit_mixer_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/wallace-and-gromits-grand-adventures/#1241575"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2008/12/wg_screen_squirrel_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/wallace-and-gromits-grand-adventures/#1241576"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2008/12/wg_screen_street_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/wallace-and-gromits-grand-adventures/#1241574"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2008/12/wg_screen_tanker_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/05/21/achievements-spotted-for-wallace-and-gromits-first-xbla-bound-epi/">Achievements spotted for Wallace &amp; Gromit's first XBLA-bound episode</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 21 May 2009 14:30:00 EST.
