So you’re at work, or your Xbox is currently being resurrected, and you’ve got the Achievement Twitch ™ … what to do?
Use your time online to earn a different kind of Achievement, that’s what!
Launched on the 21st, Unlock The Achievement brings the thrill of hunting to your browser. 42 participating sites (including MGC!) have 5 ‘Achievements’ hidden among the various words and pictures of their pages, in varying difficulties.
Even though I’m just now posting about it doesn’t mean that there aren’t Achievements to find… Should I give hints?
Alright, just one — Get to know your Xbox MVPs! They are your biggest Community Advocates, recognized for their contributions and participation to the Community at large. Not just for website owners, many of the over 40 MVPs simply contribute to other online environments, giving strong, logical opinions and promoting positive interaction within the Community.
Fellow MVP DeaconBlade 360 posted 6 Myths of Being an Xbox MVP, if you’re interested in the subject.
As the week goes on, perhaps I’ll drop a few more hints on you poor unachieving souls. However, simply knowing MGC and paying attention should grab you most of them in short order. Good luck!
P.S. - Don’t be lame. What’s ‘lame’? Posting exact locations of Achievements is lame.
I can only find 2 on this site, but theyre definately 2 of the most creative. Im on 112 so far at 71st place, representin for MGC!
Holy crap. I found the 1 using the clue above. I have no idea where to start looking for the others. MGC is holding me back in my search, WTF!?!?
Finding the first one was fun though.
I swear I looked all over the site and I can't find the last one. Any hints Morgon?
I guess I got spoiled by the other sites.... I have 3 for MGC now and I think I have a grasp for what I need to do to find the others.
The only other hint I can give without spoiling anything is just simply apply your knowledge of MGC. You know what we're about, what we do. Just keep a keen eye out..
I did notice what some of the other sites were doing, sig. Do you dislike MGC's approach? Hopefully you wouldn't have rather me placed all 5 of them in this post. :-p
@die coward, I'm happy MGC is keeping with the size, unfortunately I know one website that had one about this large [ ] I didn't know that was one for a while...
No, I like the way MGC has done them. The one pertaining to the MVPs was real neat. But I think this site's was the first one that I really had to stop and kind of think about. I like that they aren't in broad daylight and you have to actually make some effort to find them.
I can't for the life of me find number 3. Good work on the ones here, a bit more elaborate than other sites, makes it an interesting challenge.
Not really getting into this event but am I the only one right now finding the unlocktheachievement website slow as mud in loading?
3/5 so far for me here... I liked the first three but the last two are nightmarishly hard!
I am extremely embarrassed to say I only managed to find 1 here.
I thought I knew MGC but obviously I don't.
Last night I went through every single page of the most & least popular gamerpics (200+) thinking one of them might be hidden somewhere in there. I found nothing
I found 3 just by Morgons hint about the MVPs, so currently I am now on 4,
I won't be getting any further as half the websites won't load for me or there is an error to say permission denied. *big boohoo*
i probably have around ten, if i have that many. and there are some people that were on 100+ on day one. they were halfway done on day 1!
this is diffiuclt i have over 120 so far with only two from here why is it so hard u need to post more hints
Because if it were easy, you'd be complaining about that, too
I definitely had to leave a comment for you, man. This site definitely has the most fun achievements to find. You not only hid them in very clever places, but even had to do some coding to get some of these to work so well, I'm sure.
However, it seems noone can find all of them...there must be one hidded in an extremely hard to find place. I haven't seen a single person with it, including #2 on the leaderboard. Maybe you could help us out with a small hint for that tough one?
