I whip out my score at the bar and as a result take home so many chicks. Try it.

I showed mine off to friends. They immediately called me the Supreme God Of Man, and I'm due to be elected for Emperor of The World tomorrow. I'm also going to play poker with Jesus this weekend. All as a result of my achievements in gaming.

This is why there's forums on xbox.com man, people here aren't going to be any help unless you want to banter about how bad Gears 2's multiplayer sucks. And to answer your question, your gamerscore is like your virtual penis 10k is about 6 inches, anything less won't get you any (virtual) respect.

Some young man named George Lucas asked me if I wanted to invest in his company called Lucasfilms. He said something about wanting to make some sort of film about wars in the stars, so I invested my gamerscore in him, and now I am rich.

That's rough, luckily for me my girlfriend is just as much into it as I am. She takes care of all the arcade games & other games like Crash Bandicoot & Scene It.

I thought they were there to show how cool I was and now I realize all it shows is how pathetic I am.

The obvious aside, gamerscore can be a good indicator of how much or little some one actually games. Even if you aren't an achievement junkie, you still pick up a good amount of achievements per playthrough of a game.
