as the name implies, whats the oddest way way you got an achievement. my story would be how i got the dead reckoning achievement on tf2. your supposed to use the huntsmen and get a headshot after been killed. the huntsmen is alot slower then the sniper rifle but somehow i got it by sniping a heavy with the sniper rifle and getting shot just as soon as i shot. so you heard my story, now tell me yours.

Battlefield 2142. Explosive Gallantry Badges Bronze and Silver.

A helicopter has two people in it lands on the ground so I sneak up and put a Demopak on it. Then All of thier squads spawn in it before I realize it.

They all are up in the air and then....

*Dit*
*Boom*

In Section 8, I was playing the campaign for no reason and on one map, I was killed by a rocket to the face. So as the relaunch happens, I decide to let the flight down get into the red, and as I did, I miss the top overhang in the mission I was playing and hit the railing of the second. Right when my guy stands, I see the Drop It Like It's Hot achievement pop up. I just realized that my miss had me land on an enemy infantryman, squishing him. A wonderful 0G there. Aha.

I slaved for hours to unlock all the characters in Dead or Alive 4. I played it locally with my friend one day, and after he won 1 match...ONE MATCH...the message popped up "8 achievements worth 150" for HIM.

The game apparently glitched and gave him all my achievements.

In the first Skate game, in one of the later missions, you had to get all these points by jumping down a huge staircase. I couldn't do it so my friend tries and did all these grabs and backflip down it and somehow landed. Then somehow I got like 300g from it. Instead of getting the two achievements that I was supposed to get, I unlocked like 10. One of the achievements said that I had reached the highest rank online and all these other things to do with online, which was funny because I hadn't even connected to Xbox Live yet. Best glitch ever.

Grand Theft Auto 4: Rolled Over

After having failed multiple times to get this achievement, I figured I'd give it up for the time being and try again to get Chain Reaction. I was a bit mad anyway because I knew I had met the achievement's unlock-requirement. As I drove, I smack into a median ... cinder block ... and my car's front bumper kisses the pavement, while Niko looks straight down at the street. My car lands back on all fours [heh] and I back up when I hear the chime and see that I achieved Rolled Over without having rolled at all!

[These may not count as they are Trophies]

Borderlands: Facemelter, Get a Little Blood on the Tires and, Pandora-Dog Millionaire

When I rented this game, I should have unlocked all of these but, they never registered with the system for some reason even though, when I checked my stats, they were ALL unlocked. I returned the game to []lock[]uster Video and later bought a copy for myself. When I first loaded the game on the new disc, all three of these unlocked ... in the loading screen ... I'm still mad at this game for holding out on me ...

Dragon Age: Origins: Easy Lover [possible TMI]

Remember Mass Effect where you could have sex with Liara regardless of your gender? Well on my first play through of Dragon Age, I was instantly endeared by Zevran. Everything about him, I loved! A bisexual, rouge elf with a leather and bondage fetish who worked as a freaking assassin!! Well my first DAO character was a rouge male himself and I thought, what the hell, I'll flirt with my kin [not knowing he was bi] I got this trophy by means of GAY ELF LOVE and if that is not considered weird then nothing else ever should be ^^

...

well maybe not weird but new and exciting I guess ...

When I bought N+, I got shot on a pretty early level and for some reason my character started exploding multiple times. (Like 12 times a second.) I left it running for a minute and got my 1000 deaths achievement with no effort at all.

Best achievements ever are the PGR4 puzzle ones.

I was being pwned by the heavy armour shotgun guys in Uncharted 2 and threw a blind grenade. I was done for and thought I'd try my luck just before I restarted from checkpoint.

What do you know? I unlocked the trophy for killing 5 dudes with 1 grenade. Go fire and forget grenades!

Enlightened Guitarist (Gold Star 20 Songs on Expert) was buggy as hell in GH3. I randomly got it by finishing La Grange on Hard.

Also the Freefall achievement in Dead Rising served as a LOLWUT moment. Fall from the top of a bookshelf... HOORAY FOR YOU! 20 GAMERSCORE POINTS!
