Hmm… I don’t know if the achievements are live yet. Or maybe I just didn’t qualify for any in my 30 minute round. It is still a beta, so I gather they’re working out the kinks. I’m not sure I’d pay all that much to play this. I’d love for it be included in the Xbox Live Gold subscription… they can show real commercials in the commercial breaks if they want. That gives me time to get up and stretch my legs. ;)

NewTeeVee could use you more often. ;)

1 vs 100 is crazy. It reminds me of that old, original EPCOT Center exhibit of interacting with the news as a vision of the future. What I can't figure out is what I need to do to get Achievements? I've had a perfect round and answered 15 straight across two rounds, still no Achievements. And being in Maryland, I'm excluded from winning Microsoft Points or other prizes. Since this is still 'beta' I'm wondering what the real version will cost/charge to participate? (If anything.) By the way, it looks like The One no longer can chat live while on the stage - I expect that had people saying things they didn't want to hear.
