I hit 10,000 nerd points last night.

The very first time playing through 'Viva Pinata Party Animals', I scored 200 points... sheesh. Conceivably, I could have had nearly double that had I been trying to get the points. After every round 2-3 achievements popped up... I guess it's a kids game, so I'm not real surprised... but i was sorta surprised.

It's the xbox rip-off of Mario Party, so maybe it makes sense. I mean, at the end of mario party they always say 'played the game? here's a star!', 'lost the game? here's a star!'... this is sort of the the same thing. 'finished a race? here's some points!', 'hit a target in a target shooting game? have some points!'...

i thought it was mostly fun, but mike and fotini didnt seem real impressed.
