People say "Gamerscore whore" like it's a bad thing. Hey, if some kiddie game gives you 1000 Gamerscore in five minutes, or some sports game lets you simulate your way to Gamerscore greatness, where's the shame?

Oh, well in fact, between Forza and Madden, I mean, technically the points are the same
And now I get to boast with my online nickname
Oh! Well in fact, between Chromehounds and Uno, I mean, technically the points are the same
And now I've got the most because I've got no shame, less than no shame
