Okay, this isn't about what achivement you got or how hard it was. It is the most odd way you've ever gotten an achievement. The weirdest way for me was in Battlefield: Bad Company on Acension I was the attackers and I was assaulting a the first gold crate and I threw one grenade in the direction of the crate and got "Never Used a Door" for 15 GS for destroying my thousandth wall. With one random grenade.

Failing some song multiple times in guitar hero 3. I'm a little ashamed of it.

"Worst Day Shift Manager Ever" in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. You get it for killing 12 Stormtroppers as Darth Vader during the prologue. I had just gotten the game, and hadn't taken the time to read the achievements yet, so of course, I wasn't expecting to get rewarded for killing my own soldiers.

Most of it was accidental. I was still getting used to the controls, and Darth Vader is kind of clunky compared to Starkiller, so I was slashing and Force Pushing all over the place without really knowing what I was doing.

You can get some odd ones in WoW, there's the usual ones for levelling to 80 or buying certain items, and the ones for actually performing some fairly challenging tasks. But then again you can run into some fun ones for fairy random things, like looting a random picture from an enemy corpse or killing turkeys. Ah, WoW.

There's nothing like getting an achievement for beating a boss in a stupidly difficult manner, not because you were trying but because you were too stupid to know how to do it the easy way.

-Achievment Unlocked- Chaos Theory: Defeat Anomalus in the Nexus without closing any chaotic rifts.

Me: "You can close the rifts!?!?"

Note: Chaos Theory is not exactly easy to pull off, not before conquest badges anyway.

Unless i'm mistaken, that's a reference to the 'Chad Vader' video series. I am amused.

It is indeed World of Warcraft, it has achievements you can earn for various things. Sorry, you didn't specify the 360 in your opening post.

I got one completely accidentally in DoW2. 5 points for using the army painter, even though I canceled out of the screen without doing anything.

Not MY topic. I added the second part after I realized he did not say 360 achievements specifically, but Achievements when talking about gaming usually means 360, but you are guilty too. You just said WoW which means you assumed we'd know. (I would have if not for what impression I was under though :p)

I got the "My name is Sam" achievement on Rainbow six Vegas 2 by accident on the second level I think it was. BTW you get it for 5 headshots in a row while using a sound suppressor on the weapon.

Gears 2, flame boomer coming after me in horde. I panic and shoot him down with the lancer (I was new). I was proud of my kill so I was revving my way around the corner when another flamer came (That was when I learned the sand truth that you can't chainsaw a big enemy). I turned to run but a butcher somehow ended up behind me. I'm low on health and almost down. I tagged the flamer with a grenade and they were so close to each other that all three of us died, and I got Variety is the Spice of Death(Kill a monster with every weapon)

I have no idea how I got it but I was taking on an ass-load of enemies in Fable 2 so I ran for the hills. I pulled a 180 and fired into the crowd. Boom Achievement Unlocked. Apparently I killed three enemies with that shot. They then almost killed me. I pussied out of the battle.

In world of warcraft, there is an achievement called "Going Down" in which your character must fall 65 feet and survive, there are a few ways to accomplish this but under most normal circumstances it isnt possible. I managed to gain this achievement on a priest.

Now the priest when you place your talents into holy healing gain an ability which allows them to shapeshift after they die into the Spirit of Redemption, in which your granted an extra 12 seconds to cast as many healing spells as you can completely free of mana, are immune to any additional damage, and cannot move.

To get the achievement (which was not done intentionally I might add) I was doing a fight on the back of a dragon which we failed in, my character being blasted off the dragon and I quickly cast a levitate (slow fall) on myself in an attempt to prevent my death (note, slow falling will not grant the achievement, you need to actually fall the 65 yards).

To my dismay the boss wasent too keen on letting me walk away from that encounter and blasted me down as I floated to the ground. Being a holy spec priest as I died mid-air I shifted into the spirit of redemption form and began my fall, hitting the ground and earning my achievement. So I earned my achievment for falling 65 yards without dying, by dying before the fall... 360 specific or not I challenge anyone to have gained an achievement in a weirder form then that.

When my buddy went to the pisser, I picked his controller up and made him kiss a boy on Bully, and paused it.

When he returned, he got the achievement.
