Achievement hunter Raymond Cox, aka Stallion83, has become the first person in human history to hit a million Gamerscore. He did it while broadcasting live on Twitch, playing Titanfall and by earning the game's "I Like a Challenge" achievement, amusingly enough. He hit the number right on the head, too, earning the last achievement he will ever earn by completing all challenges for a specific weapon.
This has been Cox's goal for a long, long time- he became the first person to hit 500,000G in 2010, starting a website that documented his digital exploits and earning a Guiness Book of World Records nod for his unsurpassed achievement.
To put this feat into perspective, each retail game allows for 1,000G. Downloadable Xbox Live Arcade titles offer 200G, although some more recent ones (like State of Decay) offer more. Considering that so many achievements are hard-fought, this is an absolutely ridiculous amount of time spent hunting down achievements.
You can witness the moment below. Cox gets a little excited after his achievement and talks about how he will tell his grandkids about this day, how he had put his heart and soul into this, into each and every achievement. He states that he doesn't know where he's going to go from here but apparently he's hanging up his controller.
As for now, now he can seek digital pleasures of another sort. "I can finally watch TV and movies again! You'll sacrifice everything if you want it bad enough." he stated on Twitter.
It's important to have goals, kids, even if they are completely arbitrary and ultimately meaningless! Perhaps Microsoft will do the right thing and honor this man for his hours (and days, and months, and years) of service in some way. Check out the moment he does it at the 03:36:00 mark below.
