Miscellany: Gamerscore Whore

Your Xbox Live gamerscore, also known as "Achievement Points" and "Nerd Points," is a completely meaningless number that keeps rising as you earn achievements in Xbox 360 games. The average game awards you around 300 to 500 points (this is a very rough estimate - games can be either miserly or generous with the points).

My gamerscore is now over 9000.
