60 Gamer points in Perfect Dark Zero, automated |
Ó
With an erector set, a couple of solenoids, some other electronic stuff, and time to waste, he built the xBot (not the pejorative term), which automates the process of getting those 60 points for him. His full description of how the thing works can be found at the source (Read link), but what it does is simply presses the Start and B buttons at timed intervals, as demoed by his video below.
For him, perhaps, the satisfaction comes from creating the device, and not really on obtaining two Achievements and 60 points. On the other hand, it only took him 40 hours to Achieve 60 points - and in those 40 hours, his hands were free. Heck, HE was free. Doing some math, that's 1 hour of work for 4 hours of not having to play the game, and about 6 points per hour, that equals to... 60 Gamer points.
It's not much, and so far, it seems only applicable to Perfect Dark Zero. And it's a one-shot deal - Achievements earned, mission accomplished, no further need of device (unless it can be programmed for another game). It's still break-even territory, in economic terms.
But here's the kicker. His little 10-hour side project earned him a little publicity, via a 2-page spread in Official Xbox Magazine. In Mastercard mathematics, that's priceless.

what an idiot, he could have done exactly the same if he had just opened the controller and wired some things to a small circuit board.. costs maybe 1 hour instead of 10? its pretty cool looking like this though...
He caused 2000 matches to have an AFK in them so he could get points, and OXBM does a feature on him.....hmmm.
