Crazy Gaming Accomplishments

The only remarkable achievements I've pulled off have been beating chaotic games at extreme levels of intoxication. A buddy and I marathoned Left 4 Dead 2 and beat the entire game while finishing off damn near a refrigerator of leftover half bottles and assorted beers from a party. Myself and this individual alongside 3 other friends also managed to beat the original Little Big Planet while simultaneously finishing a pony keg and about 3 bottles of liquor. The odd man was the dude that either needed to take a piss or make a new drink.

We are only absolutely certain that we beat these games because they had not been played on my friends systems prior to these nights, and we found completed save files the next morning. No one really remembers actually finishing them.

Today I started ME3 with my feet. So far it is very very very very very difficult. I'm on the lowest difficutly.

I have an FFVII file on an old PS1 memory card where, in addition to doing everything else conceivable that the game has to offer, I mastered every single materia in the game, got three sets of the Master Summon/Spell/Command materia and I mastered the KotR materia eight times. I did this legitimately, with no cheating devices.

I fell for a very elaborate "revive Aeris" rumor back in middle school, because I saw it on the internet so IT MUST HAVE BEEN TRUE! :|

That's actually a pretty genius tactic.

Ratchet and clank, going commando. No armor run, holy jesus the second half of the game kicked my ass over and over and over again. The level with all the protopets took maybe 50billion attempts before finally getting lucky.
I'm debating on doing a new game + no armor run.
Oh, also, I dont use the shield charger.

It doesn't get much easier for the first few weeks.

Yeah, I don't get it though. Did your friend suck balls at Halo so you just killed him so he wasn't a target? Because if he was being attacked by the other team and your friend finished him off, the other team gets the point.

My two greatest accomplishments are getting all 700 stickers in Super Smash Bros Brawl (took over 5 years) and beating I Wanna Be the Guy on Hard Mode.

I beat it on Very Hard once. Once. I am never playing that game ever again.

I gave up after 2 hours. I couldn't get past earth.

Now playing: ME3 regular run.
Sound shapes.
WO2 chaos runthrough restricted level level one weapons only, no magic, no abilities.
Pretty difficult, but not impossible.

I beat all of the original five campaigns for Left 4 Dead 2 on Expert a few months back. I also beat Dead Center on Expert Realism with help from a few good friends.

As for competitive games, I was playing a match of King of the Hill on Academy in Gears of War 3. The score was 142-140 when the other team spawned at the final hill of the game and captured it. As doing nothing meant my team lost, I threw my smoke grenade and managed to stun the entire other team. I was able to roadie run between the four Locust there, break the hill at 149 points, and kill one of them with my shotgun before I went down. However, I bought enough time for my team to arrive at the hill and clean up the enemy team to win the match.

To be honest, I never really knew the exact details of that part since I wasn't on the betrayal part of things. I do remember that they have to damage you enough to get credit for a kill though.

Watching the every non-optional level in bomberman speed-run'd in 24 minutes made me feel worthless as a gamer xD

I've seen some things, man... and some stuff. I don't store it in memory though.

My best gaming accomplishment was something akin to finishing StH2 in 45m. That's pretty much the only significant accomplishment from my gaming life. Also, it was not my first playthrough. I'd had plenty of practice, so I don't know that it actually counts.

I unlocked Enigma on JetMoto2. Don't know how great that is, but it was great for me. I still have the save data despite not owning the game. I also have the DirectPlaythrough and Uninterrupted Season (Professional) pins.

Last night, I completed what is probably my single most awesome game-related accomplishment of all time.

I defeated Margaret in Persona 3 Portable, using just my main character.

Why is this awesome? Because, as far as I have been able to tell, no one on the internet has been able to do this so far. I have heard strategies, and "well, it might possible if you can get really lucky on such and such", but everyone saying that it is not actually something that can be done.

See, unlike P3's Elizabeth, P4's Margaret was designed to be taken on by your entire team. As such, she is much, much more forgiving. For example, if you would absorb one of her attacks, she doesn't care. She also doesn't toss in 9999 Megidolaons. Though she still gets upset if you use the Omnipotent Orb, but that's about it.

As such, with a solid setup, you can solo her with no real problem. You have plenty of powerful skills, including the all buffs/all debuffs, and a number of multi hit physical moves.

In Persona 3 Portable, howevoer, she's harder. Much, much harder. First, the addition of the 3 types of physical combat back to the game means that during phase 1, she isn't always vulnerable to your best physical moves. Second, she now takes two turns per round, meaning that your debuffs only last half as long (the expire after three turns, and she now takes two turns per round). Third, you lose Persona 4's heavier attacking skills. And, Fourth, and perhaps most importantly, she now has a damage enrage. You have to do at least 5000 damage every 10 turns, or she kills you (Cumulative. If you do 10000 in the first 10 turns, you technically wouldn't have to do any damage during turns 11-20).

That damage limitation seems to be designed specifically to prevent soloing, as the most damage you can reliably do to her on an average turn is 450, which leaves you short in the course of ten turns.

But, with some good old strategy, tactics, and a bit of luck, I did it. Completely and totally.
