Hmm.

I think I have more sighs of relief than accomplishments.

Having a perfect game of Ninja Gaiden in under thirty minutes was something

Just beating Castlevania felt like a load off my mind.

Getting my high score in GRAND PRIX published in a gaming magazine when I was a kid was neat.

Finally making it to the Ice Level in Battletoads made me feel pretty good about myself.

Beating Ghosts n' Goblins, twice, was a weight off my chest.

Destroying my college roommate in NHL 2002 while balancing an open beer can on my head.

Always feel like a winner when I complete Earthworm Jim.

Turning off a console instead of throwing a hissy fit.

That first time beating a multi-player aracde game with complete strangers and forming an instant bond (X-Men Arcade for me, tmnt and simpsons soon followed).

Getting the number one ranking on a Dig Dug cab in a Chuck E Cheese when I was seven years old.

Please never bring that game up again.

The agony that game provided was completely uncalled for. All I accomplished was making myself miserable and frustrated. I wasn't even happy that I beat the game, I was more happy that I could finally take that game out of the console.

...I'll probably play it again next year.

LMAO!!!

The only thing I remember about that game is the commanding voice on the title screen and his declaration of the game title.

If this thread's gonna be a thing now, why not!

- Last year for the month of April, Together Retro's game was Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. I played it on the Dreamcast with no prior experience and not having played any game in the series and completed it with all gold medals, SKATE letters, tapes, and goals complete in 30 days with my custom character, finishing the final medal on April 30.

- Beat Mega Man 7 & 8 for the first time on the Mega Man Anniversary Collection, also last year. Both times I was down to my final hit.

Hahaha, that's hilarious.

And also reminds me of an accomplishment that I'm proud of.

When I was playing Goldeneye (Wii) online, I started to kick major ass after a while. I was kicking ass and taking names, and then giving those names to other people whose ass I kicked. Anyway, I had a standard death match round will the max amount of players and got 20 kills and 0 deaths. I was pretty proud of that.

I once beat the Mavericks in NBA Jam T.E.

Oh, and I did manage to beat Street Fighter 2010. Sadly it's not as hard as some people make it out to be.

1. Took out a helicopter with a gas truck in Battlefield 1942 Desert Combat
2. Triple conc jumped in TFC
3. Conc juggled a heavy and killed him with a caltrop in TFC
4. Won a UT2k4 tournament with only using the translocator and shieldgun
5. Beat someone to death in Call of Duty United Offensive with the Binoculars (it says OWNED instead of killed in the upper left).
6. Three species disc kill in AvP Gold before the patch where they took out the super disc.
Hmm...comparison time.
1. Took out a helicopter with a gas truck in Battlefield 1942 Desert Combat
I was also in the truck. We jumped out at the same time. He team killed me to celebrate.
2. Triple conc jumped in TFC
Seen him do it. Also done it. Never want to do it again.
3. Conc juggled a heavy and killed him with a caltrop in TFC
Didn't see this, but it's up there with the time he conc jumped over a bunker and managed to get a melee kill in mid-air with a crowbar against a rocket jumping soldier. The whole server saw it, with the sole exception of the guy playing the soldier.
4. Won a UT2k4 tournament with only using the translocator and shieldgun
If playing a game with Fastbilly, and he declares, "Hey, be a pal," do NOT stop moving. He's behind you with one of these.
5. Beat someone to death in Call of Duty United Offensive with the Binoculars
He only did this to me once, and I beat him to death with a smoke grenade at the same time. Both take the same number of hits to kill.
6. Three species disc kill in AvP Gold before the patch where they took out the super disc.
Seen him do this too.

Hmm, for me...

1. Killed one of the Top 10 players in the world with a knife in Battlefield 2142 (among many other fun things I did with that knife).
2. Starting a roller derby using the sedans in Battlefield 1942.
3. Created a super hero in an MMORPG. The town I did it in now has a statue of me.
4. Winning a PC tournament in Halo 2 despite my computer having a framerate of about 5 fps.
5. Getting my clan and my name posted onto BF2142 forums as proof of hackers (and I quote "Because nobody is that good.")

There's a lot of other stuff. I'm proud of repeatedly AIDS-wiping teams in TFC, learning Natural Selection from a guy considered one of the world's best commanders, and once starting a PvP skirmish which lasted 3 days in World of Warcraft.

I got all 150 Pokemon on the original Pokemon Red.
I 100% completed TimeSplitters 2.
I 100% completed Super Mario Sunshine, and did so in only a month or two of buying it.

Those are probably my three biggest ones, off the top of my head.

100% completed TimeSplitters 2.
Very impressive. I have so many fond memories of playing that and Future Perfect for hours on end.
