Rooster Teeth creates Achievement/Trophy database site
Rooster Teeth, best known for the machinima series Red Vs. Blue, is looking to catalog "achievements" across various consoles (including iPhones) with its new site, Achievement Hunter. The site was founded by former X3F achiev-oholic writer David "Knuckles Dawson" Dreger and Rooster Teeth's Corporate Banana (yes, that's on his business card) Geoff Ramsey.Achievement Hunter currently lists Achievements (or Trophies, or whatever) for each game with a hit-or-miss YouTube aggregator link next to each listing. Dreger tells us that each day a video will be featured on the splash page showcasing an achievement and videos for particularly difficult "ch33vos" will be added to the database as "Hunted." We wish Knuckles all the best in keeping the site going longer than his 681-day achievement streak.
How a 681-day achievement streak comes to an end
David Dreger, better known to the Xbox community by his gamertag "Knuckles Dawson," finally saw the end to his 681-day Xbox achievement streak on Oct. 4. Dreger tells why it happened in his latest Achievement 101 feature on sister-site X3F. After receiving MVP status from Microsoft on Oct. 1., he finally made the decision to stop -- but it took another few days for it to actually happen. Dreger received at least one achievement on his Xbox 360 gamertag every day from Nov. 22, 2005 until Oct. 4, 2007. Dreger, who is also a co-host on sister-site X3F's podcast, says he's accomplished all that he wanted to with the achievement streak. What finally made him stop his streak was a good game of Halo 3 with a friend while they were on the level "The Way the World Ends." Dreger says he's still interested in getting achievements as he is a self-proclaimed "achievement whore," but now is focusing on simpler tasks like getting his score to 54,321, to mirror when he had 12,345. Y'know, just for the heck of it.
