Dare I Say... Epic?
Joe Burling | 2:33 PM on 06.29.2007 30 comments


Like many, I have a massive number of achievements on my 360. Most of them have long been forgotten but an important few still give me skeet-possibilities when I think about them.

At the top of that omnipotent list of epic achievements sits my proof that I scored 1,000,000 in Geometry Wars. Actually, 1,133,965 to be exact. This is my proudest achievement. It took me a couple months of playing almost daily to break 1,000,000. If I reminisce hard enough I can still remember a time when scoring 100,000 seemed impossible. There may be 25,649 players out there better than me, but I'm still #1 on my friends list. (INSIPIDNEIL is #1 on the world leaderboard with a girl-repelling score 400,001,005.)

Another memorable achievement, despite how easy it was to get, is my Close Quarter Combatant achievement in Call of Duty 3. To get this 100G monster, one must simply get through an entire level without firing a single shot. I worked my way through an earlier level using only grenades and the butt of my gun. What made this achievement so memorable for me was that it challenged me to play the game differently and gave it a fresh new feel. It's like getting strange but in a video game. I think every game should have at least one or two achievements like this.

Providing even more proof that my love knife has not punctured the heart of any sexy female wolves recently are my achievements for finding all agility orbs and hidden orbs in Crackdown. Yes, I used the map to help me find the last few hidden orbs, but I did find all agility orbs on my own. Look, I'll be the first to rip on myself for using a map, but it was necessary to prevent damage to my 360 (which is more than capable of breaking on its own). As far as I know, I'm the only person on my friends list who has found all orbs.

What about you? Which virtual bedpost notches are you most proud of?

If I had access to my 360 achievements from the computer I would tell all.

No, you guys don't understand, I can't sign into xbox.com with my info from my 360. It keeps telling me that name has been taken and other crap. I've contacted Msoft to reset everything but they are dbags.

Zombie Genocider I guess. Killing 53,000+ zombies is never a bad thing.

My pistol achievement in Gears is niffty, because everyone bitches about using pistols.


And the psych out achievement in Crackdown for 100 pnts was well worth the 2 1/2 hours of play for it. Plus I had alot of fun.

Chain Banger

Blow up 100 explosive objects in 60 seconds


hahahahaha that one was fun too.

I think Dead Rising, Gears, The Darkness, and Dead or Alive had the best achievements for the 360. Not the easiest, just fun and humorous.

Snaileb, you have the Zombie Genocider achievement? You are the only person that I know of that has it.


Grim helped me get my Psych Out achievement in Crackdown. Thanks again, Grim!

Once I saw the achievement and got it, I told myself I could re-gain the confidence to stand up to pee.

I wish I was like Tazar, crushing babies with my manly wang.

The Psych Out achievement was a bitch, but we had a lot of fun in the process.

I beat Darkness before Snail, so getting Anti Hero before him is my proudest moment.

Seriously, I have simple achievements I don't have anything amazing.

Zombie Genocider...when you down the equivalent of the popluation of a zombie infested town, you know a motherfucker is just getting warmed up.

Sandbox Hero: Five star the entire easy mode was an achievement for me because I came into the whole Guitar Hero scene late.

All Normal Stages cleared: Finishing the trek that is Earth Defense Force 2017 witha co-op buddy was the best way to wrap a 24 hour gaming fest.

Dang, come to think of it I have no really good achievements. I guess my total payback achievement in Burnout was pretty cool. Not that it was difficult, I just think it was a good achievement for me. That's crazy 4700 gamerscore, but no really tough achievements. Gotta do something memorable. At least get one flipping achievement that Joe doesn't have!

Wow, I'm totally going after that 100 pointer in COD3 when I get out of work today. I didn't even know that existed.
