Technically, just getting to the 13th page means that we merely completed filling up 12 pages. I think that recognition of improper inclusive counting warrants a cheevo.

Edit: And an extra cheevo for MaryUK for completing the said 12th page.

 

what I'm wanting is a twitter hashtag cheevos aggregator and crowdsourced approval. If I declared that I unlocked the 'shut my laptop cable in the door as I walk out of the room without unplugging it first' cheevo on twitter this morning, couldn't there be a way for a group of my peers to approve that as a real cheevo and add it to my gamertag and show me who else has also managed this feat? Surely this is the way cheevos will scale to real life?

Microsoft keeps it old-school with a pricey text adventure game

Microsoft has jumped onto the free-to-play bandwagon with its latest game, a text-driven adventure called Visual Studio 2010. The innovative new game marries the traditional interactive fiction text adventure with its arcane commands and exploration with the free-form, open-ended gaming pioneered by the likes of SimCity.

Actually, I want to thank Dan276 - he has given me a huge giggle on a rather grumpy day and stayed unfailingly cheerful as we've all piled in on him. There should be a cheevo for that!
