Woohoo!
Boy am I excited to tell you about the two latest features Ben has implemented for Achievement Hunter!

• Gamerscore Leaderboards
• Achievement Races

Leaderboards is fairly self-explanatory, but I’m so excited I still have to talk about it. Our site now has Leaderboards (updated from Xbox every 60 minutes). You can view every user on the site, RT Staff, AH Staff, and your Friends List. Now you can instantly feel better about yourself by seeing how much higher your Gamerscore is than your “friends”. Take for instance Jack, who’s Gamerscore is barely 26,000. Hahahahaha. It works! Now I feel great!

Moving along to the coolest feature ever, Achievement Races. You can now create your own Achievement races in one of three ways. You can chose to have a race for total Gamerscore (ie. first user to a 100,00 gamerscore), an incremental amount (like first to 1,000 pts), or game specific (like first to get 1,000 pts in Modern Warfare 2). The races are also updated every 60 minutes, and will allow all users to go nuts competing with each other.

To start things off, we’ve created a staff race to 1,000 pts. I feel sorry for the competition. Either they lose and look like chumps, or beat me and get fired.

Please take a look at these new features (located under the games dropdown tab), and let us know what you think, there’s bound to be a bug here or there, and you might think of cool ways to use these features that we haven’t yet. Oh, and if you see a game missing from the race dropdown, be sure to let us know. We can add it in in about two seconds.

Better late than never, right? This week’s episode is a little behind schedule but full of awesome. This week we talk Army of Two: 40th Day, Knuckles’ experience finishing World at War on Veteran, a little Super Mario Brother’s Wii, and the rest of the banter and shenanigans you know and love.

Your Hosts Are: Lono, Knuckles Dawson, & 8bitbass.

You know you love it…today I bring you even more videos from The Saboteur!! Don’t say I never gave you anything.

We’ll start with a couple of achievements based around the Eiffel Tower. I like this one because Geoff goes “splat.”

Next up is Geoff’s favorite achievement in the game, “Chain Smoker.” All you do is stand around, drink and smoke. What a life.

New features? New features!
