Last night I went back to Carbon and picked up another achievement. I was so stoked at making progress in the bottomless online tasks that I disconnected from Live and simulated the last of the 1000 deathmatch sessions in PD0 before going to bed. Now all I have left on my achievements to-do list is finish off the 1000 sniper kills. I am guesstimating I am at least half way there. I really don't have any way of measuring, but I know I have played at least six 50-kill matches. Add those matches to the existing 100, and then expect I have another 100 somewhere, and I can delude myself into thinking I only have 10 more 50-kill matches to go.

:cry:

That just might be the last achievement I pursue in that game. I do have a few other games with only one achievement left to harvest. I really need to collect these:

Pocketbike Racer - Career King

Alien Hominid - Mad Hatter (may be broken)

Time Pilot - Perfection

Paperboy - Easy Week

Burnout Revenge - Should Be Autographs! [sic]

Alaskan Adventures - Southeastern Platinum medal (curse you indestructible squirrels!)

Lego Star Wars II - Death Star II- undefeated (Not even Lando Calrisian could escape unscathed)

Scramble - Perfection

Pac-Man - Perfect (maybe listening to the Smashing Pumpkins song of the same name would help)

Oh, the pains of being a completionist!
