10,000 Gamerscore

I love my 360, i really do. I’m a hard core PC Gamer at heart but the xbox 360 has broken down my fan boy like hate for consoles. It’s become the first console ever to get my full attention. Everything just feels so natural. Maybe this is what Microsoft intended, to get us PC Gamers into another market. If so i think they did a damn good job.
Recently i hit the 10,000 gamer points mark, so i figured i have the clout to now write a little about my opinions on gamer points and achievements. I think achievements are a fantastic idea but they need some solid rules behind them. My idea of achievements is to show gamer skill and accomplishment of a game. An Achievement point for killing 500 people online is ridicules and for most near unachievable within a month or two. This i imagine was added in by the publishers in the hope of prolonging the life of a game. It does not show an ounce of skill at a game, just that you have way to much free time. It helps fuel peoples epenis size. For anyone who hasn’t put a headset on in awhile epenis size is massive on public servers.
KingKong might be a bad example and has without doubt earned the name of Easiest 1000 gamer points, but the achievements are given out to you for completing the game. What it does not do is dictate how you should play the game. For example “Get 100 Head shots with a Pistol”, great so i have to carefully aim 100 shots to get an achievement and most likely miss out on some fun in the game. I might not even want to use a pistol. Achievements should all be achievable from a single play from the start of a game to end, with the expectations of difficulty levels. In fact that leads me onto another point. If i complete a game on hard should it not also unlock the achievement for finishing it on easy and normal? Why should i have to play the game twice more.
It would be nice to see some rules from microsoft on how achievements get dished out and the complete destruction of unachievable points, “Play against the Dev’s” has always been a favourite of mine.
“What about the PS3?” Simple, i can’t afford it. I’m sure it’s an awesome console but the price is out of my range for something that only plays games (as a games pc owner blueray is pointless to me, i stream everything from my PC to my TV).
