After seventeen years through Xbox Live, I finally reached a 100K gamer score.

I’ve never been much of an achievement hunter — only casually going for achievements with what I’ve enjoyed playing throughout all these years. It’s fascinating to know that my account has been been through my toughest breakup when I was in college and pouring hours into Fallout 3 to break my mind away, or the countless couch co-op titles I’d played with my closest friends — sometimes bringing my console on business trips and hooking it up in hotel rooms across the globe. All of our gamer scores are essentially histories of our love of gaming and (for the most part) seeing date-stamps of when we completed them.
