.....Any time now... I guess the achievement for climbing the HQ in crackdown and jumping into the water is pretty strange... User was banned for: Ketchup Packets... Why in the heck are they sooo small?. (Permanent) |

Hmm, isn't that the call of the mod? I think one of the ones on Halo 3 is pretty funny. Kill a certain amount of enemies with a Needler. Or a HL2 one where you have to pin the Combine soldier to the billboard :P |

Anyone who carries that stupid bastard through 5 levels, two of them vehicle sections, one with a goddamn chopper on your arse, deserves that goddamn achievement. I'm proud to say, I'm among the select few whores who were anal enough to get that little bastard on the rocket. Rock Snob was an achievement I kinda enjoyed, 'cause I got that by accident. |

I can't believe I actually did that one. Also, the One Free Bullet achievement in Episode 1. What the hell, Valve. There's an achievement in Alien Hominid for decapitating, like, 50 dudes in a row without touching the ground. Something tells me they didn't playtest that one properly, because there's only one spot in the entire game where that's possible, and even then it's a weird-looking struggle. |
Copy Clerk Posts: 58 Joined: 6 Dec 2008 | I did little rocket man the other day, and found it wasn't as hard as it seems. Whenever there is fighting just drop him and go back later, and in a few places you can either leave him or shoot him to the next area with the grav gun, and recover him after a few blissful gnome-free sections. You also don't need to take him through the end of the game, only up to white forest. Although I have to admit, that bloody chopper section was a royal pain in the ass. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1429 Joined: 19 Jun 2008 | While I don't have a 360 for achievements, I did get a tome unlock called "Aaaaaaaargh" for death by falling 5 times in WAR, as well as something like "gurgle" for drowning 10 times. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1928 Joined: 9 Sep 2008 | Getting the 800,000 point achievement in GH2 was fucking awesome. I think it's time to go back and finally clock the big 1 mil |

Half Life 2: Episode 2 Hot Potatowned: Kill a Combine with is own grenade (not weird at all but the best name ever) Left 4 Dead Outbreak: Catch a rare form of infection then pass it on. Probably the oddest achievement ever in that it's a viral one that is quite literally passed around between players. There is no way to 'earn' it, you just have to get boomered by the right person. |

Gone Gonzo Posts: 3208 Joined: 10 Nov 2007 | Whilst I don't have it (or, indeed, the game) Left 4 Dead has the most meta achievement ever. Zombie Genocidest. Kill 53595 zombies. Why 53595? It's one more than Dead Rising's Zombie Genocider achievement. |

I was going to mention Dead Rising, I think a lot of the achievments in that game are pretty weird. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1701 Joined: 13 Jul 2008 | In Shadowrun, there is an achievment called "Catch Shadowrun fever" with the explanation "Catch it!". Turns out you catch Shadowrun fever when you teabag someone. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1343 Joined: 22 Aug 2008 | Half Life 2: Episode 2. The one where you have to kill every grub in the game..I was awarded that 1st time through. and my thoughts were this: "Yay! Valve shares my ambition for slug genocide!" |
Press Junketeer Posts: 414 Joined: 18 Feb 2008 | Numeric God in Soul Calibur IV, if just because it is practically impossible to actually intend to get the achievement. The last two digits of the remaining match time have to match the last two digits of your current play time. I can not even begin to think of a way to set this up, short of sitting down and calculating the time it takes to perform every move to the last millisecond. As for ones I just didn't expect, TH Proving Grounds Thug Check Distance achievement. I didn't mean to get it, I just enjoyed bashing into people. And then I knocked one off a pier and apparently sent him over 150 feet. |

Muckraker Posts: 238 Joined: 13 Oct 2008 | 'Is that a spider?' RvB reference in Gears of War for sticking people with grenades. If I recall correctly anyway. Laughed my ass off whichever game it was. There's one challenge (kind of like achievements) on call of duty 4 I wasn't even aware of, another one I'm a little hazey on, I believe you had to shoot through a wall and kill an enemy by hitting an explosive device. I unlocked maybe 4-5 challenges with that one shot too.. "Claymore," "Clay More," "Backdraft," etc.. Really wild scoring 2000+ points in a single multiplayer match. A lot of achievements you get in dead rising. I was determined to knock down ten zombies with a bowling ball just because I bowl, I was totally unawawre of the achievement. |

After having a 360 for a few months I found that there are a few strange, funny, scary achievments around. My best so far would have to be Fable 2's "The Chicken kicker", gained by kicking a gicken a few metres along the ground or in the air. With so many 360 games around and so many achievments to be unlocked i would guess that there would be quite a few interesting achievments to be found.
Sorry for putting no text in my initial post the first time. Accidentally pressed enter when I wasn't ment to!
