Well, let's say that when I bought my Wii last year I was plenty pissed when could not find any "points".

But then... I found out that the Wii has a calender that records how much time is spent playing a game. I thought "That's kinda like points, it's a number..."

I would wake up at 4 in the morning with my Wii Mote in hand twitching "How many hours on SMG now??"

What have I become?

 

LOL

Couldn't you just cheat the system by leaving your game paused overnight?

Wow, 389 hours you've played SMG! You are a gaming God.

I know what you are talking about. I played FIFA 06 for some easy 700 points. I feel so ashamed.

 

 It's okay, you're among friends.  :)

I must also confess that I spent an hour spamming the A button on 40 career years of non-played games in Madden 06 for 400 Points.

Truely a low point in my gaming life.

Achievements and Trophies are nice and a welcome addition but I could never see myself getting addicted to them like that. You should see a doctor, I'm serious.

I played Madden 06 too.  Simulated thirty seasons for a couple hundred points.

I felt like a sham.

And also I read somewhere (don't ask me for a link because I don't remember) that there are rumors that trophies might actually be rewarding, as in you might get something for getting to a certain level, like maybe a free movie download or something, remember rumor and I might just be talking out of my ass.

If you were addicted then you'd be insanely addicted now. Really, go see a doctor.

I did all the side missions in AC just for the achievement.

I threw old ladies around in AC for an achievement.

I replayed missions on splinter cell hundreds of times for achievements (getting spotted).

I almost bought King Kong and avatar for achievements.

Ever do 7-day Survivor for Dead Rising?  Good times.

Dear Lord,

Please don't be true.
