MAKE:blog has found this little gem, the automated Xbox 360 button masher, built specifically in order to hit Perfect Dark Zero's "two most tedious achievements: 1000 Death Match Games and 1000 Dark Ops Games worth 30 gamer points each (60 total)". See? This is what Achievements does to you.

Did it work? Course it did. David's machine ftw:

Both of these Achievements were successfully obtained by the xBot without having to sit there and push buttons for 40-50 some-odd hours. While it's running its course, nothing needs to be touched. Except for the occasional checking if I got my points.

Why, you may ask, did I build such a thing? Because I can!

Well, quite. And who in their right mind wants to spend 40 hours of their actual life hitting buttons? No, well, okay, apart from Kotaku commenters? Alice Taylor
