Major Nelson Is A Gamerscore Whore
monsterwitglass \| 6:00 AM on 12.09.2007	10 comments

From Wikipedia
"Larry Hryb (aka Major Nelson) coined the term for individuals who played games explicitly for the purpose of unlocking achievements to add to their score: Gamerscore Whore."

look at his played games list...

I see Avatar with all achievements unlocked!

He mentioned that on one of his recent podcasts, saying he didn't mean to do it, and it happened completely "by accident", like he turned away for a second and next thing you know he had all the achievements.

Suuuure.

monsterwitglass

THat would mean that he or one of his friends had it

1. even though it's free for him, if he has it, he's a SH
2. If a friend had it, he shouldn't be friends with him.

Eschatos

Why is his name Major Nelson?

WDot

Eschatos: Because he is beyond Captain Nelson, but not yet Colonel Nelson.

All I know is Major Nelson was a character in "I Dream of Jeannie" who had a genie in his house.

He is the ultimate Gamerscore whore

BluDesign

He took the name because he watched "Jeannie" a bunch as a kid and he and Larry Hagman have the same RL first name.

I'm sure it's nothing, he probably heard how stupid easy it was to get that tacked onto your score and had to see if it was true.

I'm planning on saving that game for the next time they want to do a GS challenge for prizes, like they did earlier this year.

Red TheHaze Veron

The dude is from Microsoft, ya know.

Clockwork

Everyone cares about their GS in one way or the other. I for one, would rent Avatar, but I just don't wanna pay for it. I guess I could get the points and bring it back in 20 minutes saying it didn't work....hmmmmm

mistic

lol :-)
