I know trying to get some achievements is hard but surely this is over kill?

lol, the funniest thing is, he did it for a game that is old, and acknowledged by many as bad.

lol, yeah I saw this a while ago. My view is that if you can build a robot or machine that can get achievements for you then you' ve earned them. Especially when you consider that this guy will never get laid in the rest of his existance.

It says volumes about the addictiveness of videogames and the potential for obsession over meaningless social achievements. It also says a lot about Perfect Dark. A game so bad that someone would rather make a machine to beat it, instead of actually playing the game himself.

I read this article as well. Its good that one can build a robot and make them do all of this but it' s his robot' s achievements. And it (the robot) has no need for it.

Does any robot " need" anything?

Other than to get to Tyrell in time...

Seeing that certain (ok well most) early 360' s have certain death weighing heavily abouve their heads - surely this is a waste of valuable " non dead" time! Leaving the console running itself for hours on end hehehe - I wonder if it breaches his warranty!?
