This was a thread that I had going for some time before the forum crash that occured a few months ago. During the time in which this thread was around it had eventually managed to accumulate a rather impressive list of gaming accomplishments thanks to contributions that were made by a number of forumers here. Note too that when I say "rather impressive" it should actually be taken as quite the understatement considering many of the posts that you guys made in that thread. There are some names and quite a few achievements that still stick out in my mind from that but I will refrain from mentioning any here because I would hate to leave anyone out. That and I suck at names to begin with and there were far too many listed toward the end there for one to possibly hope to recall. Anyway . . .
The posts here can basically be as simple or elaborate as you want them to be. You could simply say "beat (game name) on (difficulty setting)" or post a screenshot of your accomplishment if you want to do so. However, if you set out to achieve something specific in a game that would require that you play the game to fully comprehend it, you should explain things in a bit more detail. The same goes for any case in which you set out to beat a game under special conditions which are not necessarily required but you wanted to aim for anyway. This could include completion time, a certain strategy used, beating the game within a certain number of lives or coins, limitations that you set on yourself (never saving, never using certain items or weapons), or anything similar you may like to point out.
Also, to make the thread easier to read I will routinely update the OP with brief descriptions of accomplishments that people have made throughout the thread along with their user name. I will also be doing this with any of the screenshots that are posted unless I eventually run out of room here. If that becomes the case at some point, I will still have something within one of these initial posts pointing out the page the screenshot is on, who had posted it, and what game it came from. If I accidentally forget to add anyone to the list that I will have going once I have updated to a certain point (for instance I might post that I have updated up to page 5) feel free to send me a PM so that I can go back and add you. If you think that I need to add more to the description of your accomplishment because a detail had been left out or you want to go back and add something feel free to send me a PM for that as well. And finally, this time around I will be starting off with some on-topic posts that I found from another thread.
All of the forumers and achievements that I already have listed below were taken from the Your Greatest Gaming Moments thread that Duchess Prozac made awhile ago. This was a thread where you could post your greatest and/or coolest moments in gaming, which is to say that it contained a number of stories and mentionings of gaming experiences that people here have had. I simply went through and gathered all of the unintentionally off-topic posts that the thread had acquired having to do with achievements so that they could be reposted here as on-topic posts. So first off, I would like to thank Duchess Prozac and everyone who had accidentally misinterpreted her thread for the starting material. Also, if you have any great gaming moments that you would like to mention you could certainly post them there if you think it would be more fitting.

Created a Fendazon in D2 that could survive 8 player Hell Cows, Diablo and Baal, around 1.07-9. With the same character killed NM Diablo in 1 hit (well, 2: had the maul with % chance to cast amp, hit him with that once and he amped. Then he switched to his spear and killed him in 1 hit). Was helping a friend concentration paladin rush through NM, so he had that, the amp, deadly strike/critical hit, etc. Unofficial high score of around 23,000,000 points in Tetris DS but while playing, someone else turned the game off so the score was never recorded.

Also got as close as one could possibly get to ghosting Splinter Cell 3 on the hardest difficulty while getting 100% on every mission (Ghosting involves no alerts, no knocked out or killed guards, and, ideally, no destroyed lights or distracted guards. As close to a perfect run of the game as you can get, basically. But since the game was obviously not designed with such things in mind, it was necessary to at least distract guards and remove lights [with the OCP at the very least] in many instances, and some guards have to be knocked out to complete mission objectives required to get 100%).

THREAD IS COMPLETELY UPDATED TO PAGE 13
the numbers only got higher after that. I also had a 1005 skill multiplier, which I didn't get a picture of since I've returned Fable to my brother for now. Lionhead owes me new thumbs.
[spoiler:7c6afd0bdb]It took forever to run down the multiplier, too. I teleported like 3 times and it was still at 300 or so. But the best part was waiting to get that high, and then using Age potions to get 1000 x 1000 XP points.. I really need to get an updated picture[/spoiler:7c6afd0bdb]
Nowhere near a quick run, I just thought it was funny :P

You should link to the save that you have on GFaqs as long as it is out there. That does sound pretty cool too seeing as you had to go through the game several times in order to do this. I have gotten pretty close to getting everything in the Wind Waker during the second time around myself but I had one figurine missing from the gallery. But yeah, if you link to the page your score is on I will definetly add it along with your post when I update later one.
Undead, you certainly went through Half-Life 2 rather fast so congrats on that. I take it that you liked that game. Wezoin, I'll admit that I really don't know too much about Halo but I know that is quite impressive. I have seen people play on Heroic before and it is certainly challenging to say the least. However, you really don't need to be blantantly cocky about it though. :P
Beating Fallout2 with nothing but hand-to-hand combat? Beating Karnov on the NES without cheats when I was a kid was pretty god damned hard. Same with Kid Icarus. Beating MGS3 on Extreme.
The page is: http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/psp/save/920798.html
And the actual file is (dunno if linking straight to the file works): http://db.gamefaqs.com/portable/psp/save/syphon_filter.zip
Anyway, a few years ago I loaded up Ultima I from the compendium or whatever that Origin released, and...I beat it in an hour and twelve minutes :P
How in the hell did you get it that high? I only ever got to like... 40 or 50.
Graned this was TLC and on the PC.

Thorpe, happen to know the time on that speedrun? That you were even able to do a speedrun of Doom 3 on Nightmare is fucking awesome of course. I actually do not know if it was tiered exactly like the first Doom which had something ridiculous like Hell as the hardest difficulty but that can't be easy.
I have no idea. Speed-run is a relative term in this case. By any normal Doom standards, it would be "really-fucking-slow", so a better title would be "Doom 3 Nightmare without stopping."
(or dying)
Hitman: Blood Money. Beaten on all difficulties with at least 5 silent assassin ratings on each.
Call of duty2 on Veteran.
Alright, that sound fair enough. Most of what I do know about Doom 3 comes from having watched my brother play the game a bit and just from that I can tell that the game is 1) really difficult in quite a few places, 2) a decent sized game in terms of length, and 3) made even harder due to lack of light in certain areas (such as Hell). Looks extremely fun to play as well and has great audio and visuals.
Frank, nice list you have going there. I haven't actually played either of those NES games but if they are anything like most of the games at that time they are probably steep in difficulty. I remember how long it took me and a friend in college to beat Dracula from the first Castlevania and how glorious it was finally beating that bastard (though we were using a Game Shark while playing that gave us unlimited continues). Those games certainly gave you a sense of accomplishment when you beat them. The other two things you have there aren't too shabby either.
I also beat Ghouls and Ghosts on the Genesis.
Yeah I suck.
Buy some useless stuff at my Cafepress site!
What he said, minus any actual achievements.
Unless my ability to take the slightest scrap of a bit of information and completely build up my own story and concepts around it counts(see Soulblades/Soulweapons entry for more information*).
*As in ask me if you actually want to know.
I've beaten Links Awakening without dying. (Surprisingly, the hardest part is earlier in the game.. once you get a lot of life containers and the restore potion it becomes surprisingly easy.)

And yalborap, the story that you made behind Soulblade and the other Soulweapons sounds interesting. You can certainly go ahead and explain here it or post a link to it if you want.
And apparently neither did the people you were playing with.
OH BURN!!!!
You're only half right. Many sucked, but it was 12 on 12, with good players mixed in on both sides. I'm not saying it was amazing or anything, just something I'm proud of. Shaguar was there.

It's not so much a story as a concept I took way too fucking far. You've seen the hidden sword familiar in Symphony of the Night, right? And how it has that special attack that effects the entire screen? Listen to what he says when you do it. "Gather, brother soulblades!"
I have one fuck of an imagination. I very quickly wondered about these other soulblades, what kind of weapons they might be like and such. This led to me thinking up a few. I currently have 6 made, three of which are used by major characters I use in some of my various stories.
Of course, being the insane little bugger I am, I took it even FARTHER. I thought they needed a way to fight on their own as efficiently as in the hands of a wielder. So, I quickly created armors...Soul armors. Rei-yorois. Each of these weapons I've created has one, based on their design, personality(I also gave them personalities), and how they fight best. For instance, the first one I made, Akurabe. Jibberish in actuality, but it sounds cool. Anyways, the weapon is this big, triangular beast. We're talking anime or Soul Caliber lengths here. Five feet long, weighs 200 pounds, made of this crazy stone that is also my own design. (Roughly looks a bit like this: |\ With the bottom being where the hilt is, and the slanted part being the blade) It got this big, bulky black and gold armor.
...You see, this is why you need to make sure your children never have too much free time on their hands.

Since then, I came in 2nd in a Soul Calibur tourney (my first tournament). Thing was, I'd never picked up a Dreamcast before that day.
Made me feel pretty good afterwards
Oh it's such a nice day, I think I'll go out the window! Whoa!
That sounds like a fine Diablo 2 character right there. What do you mean by Fendazon though? From your desciption I would have to guess that it is either a Barbarian or an amazon character but the terminology you used there is alien to me. I had a pretty good Paladin character going myself that was around level 70 or so. Never got to the point where I could kill Nightmare Diablo in 2 hits though, that is extemely good. I can only imagine how much damage your are dealing with that maul weapon.
Diablo 3 can't come out soon enough as well. Hopefully Blizzard will at least have it out by sometime next year. I have seen advertisements for it but seeing as this is Blizzard we're talking about the game could be coming out anytime between now and 2010. We still don't even know what the hell happened to Starcraft: Ghost exactly.
That is uh . . . I'm not sure honestly. I would have to go with a good mesh of obsessive and scary there I guess. Looking past that I guess the point that we can all come to is that Soul Calibur rocks. You should let Namco know about your thorough description of the history of the Soulblade though to see what they have to say.
Heh, this kind of reminds me of the person that made that 30+ page paper about the Grand Theft Auto series in his free time and then made a thread about it. I would conceed that you have a stronger grasp on your sanity though. Well, you would almost have to really.
Well, their living weapons have their own history. Mine is just an offshoot of that damn familiar from SotN.
