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.

If you've been curious about how polite bumbling and cheese lust translate into game mechanics, now's your chance to find out. This offer applies to the PC version.<br />
<br />
The company is also marking the auspicious occasion by discounting the full season of the PC version to $20 (from $35), releasing the whole set on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/11/02/this-wednesday-wallace-and-gromit-episodes-2-3-and-4-on-xbla/">Xbox Live Arcade</a>, taking orders for a Collector's DVD, and participating in a charity drive with <span class="il">the Wallace</span> &amp; Gromit Children's Foundation and Penny Arcade (to which your full-season purchase will contribute). The discount and free game will only be available until November 8.<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/2009/11/04/free-wallace-and-gromit-episode-and-more-for-20th-anniversary-of-s/">Free Wallace &amp; Gromit episode and more for 20th anniversary of series</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 04 Nov 2009 09:15:00 EST.
