Achievements/Trophies - Waive Your E-Peen Here

Capt Howdy

Here is a thread to waggle your awesome e-peen in all our faces. Post your best achievements and trophies here! This can also be used for your wish that you had played a game on a different system to boost your gamer score or trophy collection. And no mocking the Wii since they are creating their star system starting with New Super Mario Bros Wii. (Or do mock, if it keeps the thread interesting)

I am quite proud of my Fallout 3 achievements, almost all unlocked, but I got distracted when Zeta dropped. I really wish I had purchased Dead Space on 360 since I unlocked almost all the trophies on PS3. I know the scoring system is just a e-peen measurement, but for some reason I wish I had boosted my gamer score with that one. Same goes for Lego Batman and Indiana Jones.

Anyway, post your best of the best, 5 stars, 100%, and system scoring regrets here. And remember, it's just a measurement of your awesomeness at our most beloved of hobbies!

More detailed listing of my greatest achievements coming soon.

I love me some achievements, as you can probably tell :P

I don't think they mean anything but they're really fun to try and go for. I'm pretty happy I got them all in Batman recently, and I tried to get them in every RPG but Star Ocean brought that dream crashing down.

What's the deal with this "star system"?

I don't necessarily try to go for trophies, as they'd just slow down the regular game. But if I can just do stuff and get them accidentally, that sounds good. I've actually been taking my time and solving the Riddler riddles in Arkham Asylum, so I guess I'm somewhat alright with needless praise.

Erm... I want to post here, but if I do according to the thread title I'll lose my e-peen.

Wait... shit.

Apparently if you do something great in NSMB Wii you get a Star on the title screen representing your greatness. I don't know if everyone gets to see it, but it is there. Like a personal pat on the back for doing better than most.

I don't put too much stock in achievements/trophies, but there really are some games I like to show my dominance on. Which is basically what they're for. But much like most of you, they aren't things I work towards, just accidental bits of trivia about my gaming ability.

We can't all be the gaming Peter North, but it's fun just to be in the biz; you dig?

My gamer score sucks, especially given how many games I own. If anything, my score is just a way for me to show that I own more games than you. Not that I am better at them than you are.

Fuck, my search skills are horrible. But I think mine might be more fleshed out, given the wish I had on this system option? Plus the Wii star attention.

Edit - that thread's title doesn't allow for trophies. It's very much 360 inclusive, and I want to provide a thread for all gamers.

I think he was referring to how the thread title says "waive", implying that by posting about them here you actually lose your e-peen, as oppose to "wave", meaning show it off which is probably what the OP meant.
