The "Smile" achievement in Geometry Wars 2 seems to giving people a run for their 800 MS points. Rooster Teeth's new achievement site, Achievement Hunter, has produced a spiffy little walkthrough vid of how to painlessly get attempt to get the 25 gamer point reward. Nobody says it's going to be easy, but then the best rewards in life (that leave you feeling alone and used at the end of the day) never are.

Rooster Teeth creates Achievement/Trophy database site

by Alexander Sliwinski { Jul 28th 2008 at 10:30PM }

Rooster Teeth, best known for the machinima series Red Vs. Blue, is looking to catalog "achievements" across various consoles (including iPhones) with its new site, Achievement Hunter. The site was founded by former X3F achiev-oholic writer David "Knuckles Dawson" Dreger and Rooster Teeth's Corporate Banana (yes, that's on his business card) Geoff Ramsey.

Achievement Hunter currently lists Achievements (or Trophies, or whatever) for each game with a hit-or-miss YouTube aggregator link next to each listing. Dreger tells us that each day a video will be featured on the splash page showcasing an achievement and videos for particularly difficult "ch33vos" will be added to the database as "Hunted." We wish Knuckles all the best in keeping the site going longer than his 681-day achievement streak.

Our Red vs. Blue pals over at RoosterTeeth.com just launched a new section of their website dedicated to those who suffer from borderline achievement unlocking OCD. Achievement Hunter is the site's name and achievement news, lists, discussion and unlocking strategy is the site's game. Check out the website itself and the announcement PSA "Small Rewards" (embedded above) featuring familiar faces from the RvB gang including Caboose. He unlocks his own "achievables" ... we can't explain, you'll just have to watch. BLEEP-BLOOP! BLEEP-BLOOP! BLEEP-BLOOP!
