Beating the hardest mode on Mario Kart 64, at the time it felt like a hell of an achievement. Lousy cheating AI...

World of Warcraft has quite a few unicorns that occurs every year due to RNG screw, like that awesome headless horse mount that has a green colouration and is able to fly.

A literal Unicorn in terms of consoles has to be a main Kirby game, before Epic Yarn, there was just Kirby which faded in and out during the time of the Gamecube. eventually it got shuffled up to the Wii as Kirby Wii, but that disapeered aswell.

Eventually Nintendo announced and released Kirby's Epic Yarn....except it wasn't originally a Kirby game to begin with apparantly...

The game began development under the name "Keito no Fluff" (lit. "Fluff of Yarn"), featuring Prince Fluff as the main character. During the summer of 2009, Nintendo proposed that the game be altered and released as a title in the Kirby series, though Prince Fluff remains in the final product as Kirby's partner.

The style of the game was so ambigous that they could retool it as part of the Yoshi series of games if they wanted to, only last month they only announced the REAL Kirby Wii. :D

Guess thats a case of a Unicorn becoming real, oh and DNF.

I suppose what I'm thinking of can be considered a unicorn - I'm not even 100% sure if it even exists.

I don't know how much of this was made up in my head to make it several hundred times creepier, but I have a vague recollection of this "Educational" game they installed in one of the primary (elementary) schools I went to.

Anyway, I think the basic premise was that there was this kid in a room, and you had to remove any potential dangers in it to advance to the next room. Or something.

Sounds pretty simple enough, but the creepy part (and here I question the reliability of my memory) is that if you didn't remove the 'potential dangers', (eg. a pair of scissors) the kid would die in a horrible manner (in the case of scissors, the little kid had his hands chopped off. Or something along those lines, I'unno).

If anyone knows the name of this game (or even if this thing is real), please let me know.

Red Dead Redemption - Undead Nightmare: Found "War" in the desert which was one of the 4 horses of myth which I was able to tame it and it was purly awesome. Ran into enemies, they'd catch on fire.



I know they actually have a Unicorn in this game, but honestly I haven't found that one yet.
You have to reach 100% completion (not achievements/trophies) I won't tell you the location, that ruins the fun.

If memory serves the Unicorn Glade is pretty much east of the Inn of Ill Omen, or south of the shrine of Hircine if you prefer. The Unicorn is neutral and able to be ridden by characters with no Infamy. It will be hostile and not able to be ridden once your character gains any Infamy at all.

OT: Finding and completing all the jumps in San Andreas. I could probably do it really easily if I went online and searched for a map or whatnot, but I want to find them all myself. It's kinda irritating because I won't play the game for a few months and then I can't remember which ones I've completed and which I haven't.

SS'ing every mission in Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition.
The damn thing runs like 15 frames per second on my slow PC, but I'll get it done, one day! Presumably when I get my hands on a PS2.

As I recall I only got infamy because Pointy went and attacked some guards while I was picking some mushrooms. They went for me too, and I acted in self defence. That horse was a dick. If I do find him again I'll probably roast him.

Ha ha! Well, if that's your intent, go for it!
Pray at the shrine of Hircine. He doesn't like Pointy either.

Get every gun frame in Boktai 1, a little known GBA game that I played the hell out of...

You have to go through a 99 level tower with no saving and you have to use the items you have on you...damn I need to give that another go.

Disgaea Hour of Darkness is the game and the weapon is called Yoshitsuna



Right to obtain this weapon you have to go through 100 increasingly difficult battles to level up the rarest body item (Testament)
Now each of these battles gets increasingly difficult from around level 100 to well look at the picture level 9999. I managed to do it in about 25 hours but it's been a while so it could take longer
Now once you get to level 100 you have to fight very difficult enemies all 9500+ and then you get to the item God
Once you get to the item God you have to steal his weapon which has a 10% chance of succeeding. Now once you do this you have to kill the God but you get the single most powerful blade in the game

Even then I think you have to level it up by going through the item world to level 100 but I can't remember if you can do that or not

What a game

It's not tied to a specific game for me, but rather more general in nature.

My gaming unicorn is the verbally well-behaved and mature in-game online community, where noone calls me atrocious things or implies me being sexually attracted to my mother for doing something outrageous like, say, fragging them repeatedly in a round of free-for-all deathmatch.
Hear Hear!

I love being able to good-heartedly talk shit with people while we blast each other into next week. Why does "Dude, did you see the way your body FLEW?" always have to come across to people as an insult to people? Especially if their body literally popped into the air and flew over a railing

This made me laugh and be sad at the same time.

Indeed.
This is what online gaming should be like in my opinion, and it is the reason why I despise the term "competitive multiplayer" and the concept behind it; I, like every other functional human being in the world, compete with people all day long in one way or another, and the stakes can be quite high - it's what we do. However, when I'm at home and playing a game with people online, I want to have fun, not be frustrated from not being top dog on the list of K/D ratios. There are occasions when the group you play with are like-minded and can still enjoy themselves even if they suck at the game, but most of the time it turns into trading hurtful barbs over something that is essentially even more meaningless than winning an argument on an internet forum. "Competitive" is a word with an aggressive edge, and a lot of folks get sucked into it, all the while forgetting that a game is supposed to be fun, not work. (I know, the two don't necessarily have to be mutually exclusive, but I stand by my point.)

Excellent. Two emotions for the price of one. Where else do you get that kind of deal nowadays?

Mine was beating Super Contra on hard in two player mode - by myself.

EDIT: Correction, Contra 3: The Alien Wars on SNES.

And I did, it was awesome.

I had one of those large arcade machine looking controllers with the joystick on the ground that I manipulated with my pinky and ring fingers, while holding a conventional controller normally.

Marathon was a series Bungie did before Halo. It's graphics were in the style of some of the first generation shooters, like doom.

I'm 15 by the way! Take that grandpa! Fine, I'll get off your lawn!

OT: my gaming unicorn? Getting Stalker S.o.C. to work on my pc. Had to go into the fucking binaries and figure out how to change the direct x settings.
