I was getting points all over the place today on Xbox Live, and I wasn’t even playing for that long. After popping in a rental copy of Halo 3: ODST, I managed to unlock 10 achievements just by playing through a few levels in a Normal Campaign. The cool thing about that is two Achievements got me two new clothing items as Avatar Awards on Halo Waypoint. It’s kind of weird that playing one game unlocks something in another game (Halo Waypoint is really more of Halo dedicated website on Xbox, but it’s cool because it lets you follow your campaign over several games, and gives you a score based on your total progress. Imagine if they had something like this for Super Mario. Honestly: have you ever wondered how many goombas you’ve bopped or how many times you’ve saved the Princess? Nintendo needs to get on this.) Here I am, wearing my new hoodie and shirt combo.
…And my 2010 New Year’s glasses. They were free yesterday.
The Halo clothing line for Avatars is horrendous, honestly, so I’m glad I didn’t pay for that. The coolest is the floating eye droid, but with props you can only see them on your own dashboard. You can’t bring them into 1 vs. 100.
Anyway: none of these Achievements can touch the one I got playing The Ballad of Gay Tony this morning. Catch the Bus is a relatively easy Achievement to get, but it involves dancing perfectly (within reason) at two clubs in the game. Think about it: an Achievement based on dancing in a game about getting a BJ from a hooker and then blowing that hooker’s brains out with a shotgun and running over her body as you escape from police. Not only that, but it involves going to a gay club. With dudes. You even have to have a dance-off with an angry gay dude to prove your “manliness.” You’re dancing at a gay club in a game called “Gay Tony.”
You know what that calls for, don’t you?
