Getting all Dark Souls 1 achievements.

I’ve finished mario kart in 4 different platforms. Not exactly hard but it does take some time so I’ll consider it an achievement.

I beat Factorio without using belts.

…

No, I’m not a masochist, why do you ask?

I think, probably…spending many hours over a few weeks helping people experience and love Journey after I got my White Robe. Twirling around on the sand dunes, exploring strange places, avoiding danger, and finally seeing them pass through that mountain.

For me every time someone stuck it out added to the memories and I hope each of them remembers that chirpy white robed player who made the game just a little more fun.

6 solo wins in a row on Fortnite. Decided thst i couldn’t stop playing until I lost after the second win.

Got stuck in a glitch Fortnite game with NO STORM. Took over an hour to find everyone and get the win. Had to just fly around in a helicopter until the last dude shot at me.

I beat Dot Hack Infection, Mutation, Outbreak, and Quarantine in order back when they were first releasing on the PS2 in the US. And importing my memory card save every time.

My friend witnessed me defeat the final boss in Quarantine. It was such a long and crazy fight. And the whole thing was just mindblowing.

Sadly I don’t have any pictures or videos of it. And I traded in my PS2 a long time ago.

I have been considering revisiting the game but it’s a big game with ALOT of content. I don’t know when I’ll get around to it.

Good times and Good memories.

I beat Mario Lost Levels once. On the SNES with saves, but I beat it.

I managed a cyber cafe many years ago. Mostly filled with regulars that I knew on a first name basis and would usually sit in for a CS match if it was slow.

I wouldn’t call myself great but I could take down middle schoolers. That’s not what this post is about though.

A girl walks in, has some sweats on from the big university that’s not too close but still in the area.

She wipes all those kids out repeatedly. They start yelling, asking me to help them out so I do. I’m effectively going 50% with this person.

Before she leaves she reveals that’s she’s visiting her parents for the weekend and that she was on a team that was ranked or otherwise played professionally.

I asked her if I was good enough to play competitively.

She said no, she hadn’t played at all for a few months because of school and she was going easy.

Felt pretty proud that I was able to keep up with an out-of-shape pro.

I used to be a (semi)pro gamer! Basically the college football of gaming… But like… It was Team Fortress 2 so it’s more like the college mens Volleyball of gaming…

Anyway!

RGL Advanced Highlander Season 5 - Grand Finals.

lay civ 5 vs I Hate Mondays

Neither team was favored to win the season but after multiple upsets during playoffs, they both ended up there.

It was EXTREMELY close!

The first round on Ashville went to I Hate Mondays with every round being almost dead even.

The second round, on vigil, went to a tie breaker within the round as lay civ 5 and I Hate Mondays trade blows. Eventually lay civ 5 got the points.

With a score of 1-1 the game went to a tie breaker on swiftwater…

Round 1 went to I Hate Mondays by about 30 seconds.

Round 2 was incredibly close. Both teams had better scores but ultimately lay civ 5 won with literally 0 seconds left on the clock.

The final round… The tie breaker of the tie breaker…

Lay civ 5 starts and gets a solid time. About the same as round 1…

And just like round 1, I Hate Mondays manages to sneak away with an extremely close victory. Making them the unlikely champions of Season 5 Advanced!

Despite division dysphoria having an undefeated score and even Home Depot Esports having more wins than both of the teams in grands… I Hate Mondays took home the gold and I firmly take the credit for it!

Of course… I was playing for lay civ 5… But I promise you… I was the reason that I Hate Mondays won.

Long time ago, I would play Transport Tycoon (Deluxe?) all the time. I had this just about fully built map, I was forced to optimize everything because the game didn’t allow any more railway stations or depots to be built.

One day, the news pops up that my company will go bankrupt if performance doesn’t improve, I find myself in a balance of some number starting with -2.147… I couldn’t find a way to the positives to save my company so I reloaded last save, I purchased the max amount of trains and carriages to sell when the apocalypse happens, I would build a significant amount of the map in railway that I could get refunded. No way I could achieve over 2 billion in one year.

Eventually I learn that the max value a 32 bit processor can have is 2,147,483,647, until it flips over to -2,147,483,647. I had become so successful that the hardware in my PC couldn’t handle it! I take plenty of pride in this achievement. I actually beat an endless game.

I realize that this is only an achievement to me, but when I got the Poeples Hero achievement for Skyrim. I was playing through as myself, trying to help everyone I could. I just wiped out the Dark Botherhood and it popped up. I was honestly touched, as I really cared about those stupid digital poeple I was saving. It made me feel like I was really making a difference.

When I was a kid in the 80’s and 90’s, you only owned a few games if you had an NES or SNES (or Sega equivalent) even if you rented/played a lot of them. So, I got insanely good at the few games I owned. After I beat Street Fighter II with every character on the highest difficulty, I decided to beat the game using only one button (plus the D pad, obviously). Finally did it with Chun Li and X button.

With Super Mario World, the hardest personal challenge I did was beating every level except the switch blocks. There’s a bunch of secret exits where switch blocks are supposed to be the way. It took a lot of cape+blue Yoshi shenanigans to get that one done.

Now that I’m old (or least older) and games are way longer, my biggest accomplishment is actually finding time to play a game all the way through, much less do side quests. I made time for BoTW, Horizon Zero Dawn, Nier: Automata, and Hades. But if I stop playing a game for awhile, I forget all the controls and that’s the end of that game.

Thousands of hours in Skyrim and I’ve yet to kill a bunny once. To be clear, this is intentional. I wish no ill on the bunnies. Just happy that I’ve somehow managed to not kill one accidentally.

I have 2 and they both relate to FarCry 2.

Playing a game of team death-match in FarCry 2 at a LAN party. first team to 100 kills win. When it got down to the last 10 kills someone looks at the scoreboard and realises that I had more than 50 kills. The next closest player was 27 kills on the other team. After that match, I was no longer permitted to use the sniper class.

At a completely separate LAN party playing FarCry 2 before I was banned from snipering I was playing my usual strat of hiding and sniping. After about 20 min of gameplay the son of the LANs organizer , who was about 5 at the time, shouted out “Who is PedoBear?” those who heard it started laughing their asses off including the kids dad. We had to pause the match while we settled down. Yes, my display name was Pedobear.

A couple years ago I won 2048
