Well, David Harr (gamertag Diego Knyte) would -- that is, if you consider automatic gamerscore point-building via advanced robotics evil*.

David's robot, dubbed xBot, completes a simple task: it restarts a match after the current one ends in Perfect Dark: Zero, allowing him to gain the "Played 1000 Dark Ops Games" and "Played 1000 Deathmatch Games" achievements. If gamerscores weren't worthless before, they definitely are now.

And this also leaves his hands free to do, well ... whatever. 

One has to admire his dedication to a higher gamerscore. It's reported that this device took ten hours to build. That my seem excessive, but the time (and wrist pain) saved allows cheaters clever gamers like David to do more evil things in life.

About all this points to is just how lame some of the achievements are..... bravo for him to actually waste 10 hours of his life getting 2 achievements.... and who the hell owns perfect dark anyway?

This is the solution to not having bots in certain games. Now all you need to do is work up some controls for the thumb sticks, and program a visual recognition program and quicker then you can say frag, you've got yourself an opponent.

So what was that humping robot video about on Friday then huh? That robot sure looked like he was forcing himself on that lamp.

Pshhhh if I had robot skills I'd make one that cooks breakfast for me. there has to be a live chicken in it somewhere dropping the eggs, and toast continually popping up and down all burnt.

I've had my 360 since launch day. and in one year I have only collected a paltry 7000 Gamerscore. im proud of every damn point. every single one of them were earned and I never bought a single EA game for a quick 1K points. It's hard to hate them when I don't compete in the pointless pissing match that is gamerscore cred

Is it that hard to get it up there? I remember Super Smash Bros. Melee had some unlockable option after 5000 matches, and I had no problem playing the games with friends and enjoying myself in the process.

Everyone knows it's implossible for any human to actually sit through more than 2 games of Perfect Dark Zero. The game is just that bad.

I would hate him if there was actually any possibility of anyone ACTUALLY playing 2000 matches of Perfect Dark. What a piece of crap.

I think I only used the Final Fantasy cheat on the river once, where you could keep going in a circle and only for a night since I didn't have the time to grind. Generally I'm against cheating.
