About Me

edit

I will do this properly soon...

The short of it is: I started on an Atari ST back in the 80's as a little kid playing Fun School 4 (which I will still stand by as the best educational video game EVAR!) and James Pond with my little brother. Eventually I moved on to PC, specifically Lucas Arts point and click games, The Incredible Machine and Prince of Persia...cd\games\prince :D yay!

However I was converted to Nintendo upon winning a NES shortly after they had just come out. I will forever be in the debt of Golden Grahams for making me the kid who owned Super Mario Bros.

I then stood by Nintendo religiously, especially during the dark ages of N64 and Gamecube , idolizing Shigeru Miomoto as my Jesus and creator of everything fantastic. It was only when Rare were bought by Microsoft, I gave in and submitted my Gamecube to EXT3 on the back of my telly to make space for my new, shiny, bought-on-my-credit-card-and-probably-still-haven't-paid-off-credit-card Xbox.

Oh I also owned a PS2 in brief amounts to play the GTAs, and would sell it as soon as I had raped them. Seriously, I felt like I was sitting in the house with someone who had murdered my family so I just couldn't bring myself to keep the thing. Fucking aids ridden monstrosity of a chav console...

I say that, but then Little Big Planet came out and stole my heart and I now own a PS3 as well. Madness. However, even LBP has taken a backseat to Fat Princess (the only game I play on PS3, and what a game!)

OMG! My proudest achievement ever - Meet Your Maker!
double2 \| 5:42 PM on 11.25.2007	14 comments

Last night something very special happened - I earned the "Meet Your Maker" achievement on Guitar Hero III. For those not in the know; this means that by some coincidence, I just so happened to get matched online against one of the development team from guitar hero and I beat them. What makes it even sweeter is that it was on a song I'd not even got to on career, so it was the first time I'd ever had a go at it! Whoop-de-whoop!

I have quite a modest gamerscore but this single achievement means much, much more to me than the 20G I got for it as I haven't actually seen anyone else with it just yet. I invite the destructoid community to make haste and piss on my parade by telling me that everyone has this achievement and I should shut up. Or failing that I leave the open question: what's your favorite achievement that you've earned and why?

Anyway, I need to go call my grandma and tell her the good news!

I read that that achievement is viral, meaning you can also get it from playing someone who has that achievement.

Anyone out there confirm/deny this? Sorry to pee on your parade if this is true :(

Excremento

Hate to burst your bubble man, but I got one of those too. I immediately contacted the person who lost afterwards and asked if he was in fact part of the development team...turns out that he wasn't, and he got the same achievement from someone else who wasn't a developer either.

Like I said, sorry. I thought I was the shit too until I found out that it wasn't quite as cool...

Buddha

lucky you go piss on yerself fool!

just joking, i suck at that game so i would never ina million years be able to do that so, congrats!

I've beat Pokemon Puzzle League on Super Hard mode. It's an N64 game that is the sequel of Tetris Attack. I've never met anyone who has beat that game on the hardest difficulty besides myself... and it was the hardest thing I ever had to do involving video games.

double2

Buttocks. Well I won't tell any of my mates in the real world that...yea man, i beat one of the developers of guitar hero! (damn their mis-leading achievement descriptions!)

Little Burro

IVE SEEN SOME SHOOPS IN MY TIME AND THAT IS A SHOOP!!!11!!1!!!
But seriously, good job.

@holyetheline

I'm only saying this as I've just been ridiculed and therefore I am trying to deflect attention to yourself BUUUT how many people do you actually know who had Pokemon Puzzle League?

To be absolutely honest, it sounds impressive anyway. Tetris is fun, but I can't get past like level 10 or something stupid. It's for reobots and chinese people I tell you.

BFeld13

It's probably viral

Even so, you would be playing against some guy from Neversoft. I'm quite sure they would not be as good as guys from the original Harmonix team. Still, practice can make perfect, so you never know.

Clockwork

What song??

Before I Forget - which I really would have thought should have been opened up sooner, it's not that hard. It's easier than One by far!

Yea, that achievement is so faulty it's funny XD Not only did I not play one of the makers of the game, I didn't win the match either XD I lost first round, cult of personality first solo with crazy attacks against me. Next match I smashed him, can't remember. And the last match it went into death drain and I lost a split second before him. I got SO fuckin pissed until that achievement popped up, than I didn't even care I was just happy I got the achievement.
