Mgs3 hardest difficulty no alerts. To the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee!

Those god damned Chaos emeralds.

Robotnik will forever be juggling the them in my stupid face until I die.
Which title? Because 3 and S&N were very easy.
The original, man. With its vertigo-inducing special stages, it absolutely wrecked my 5-year-old constitution.
Yeah, screw that. I don't know a single person who has ever legitimately gotten all of the chaos emeralds on Sonic the hedgehog. I can get maybe three at most if I am very lucky and completely sober.

For a couple of days, beating Half Life 2 Episode 2 while carrying the gnome. I freaked out when I thought he got lost rather late (just before White Forest), and even though it's a short game it was still annoying as hell, especially carrying him in the car.

I only have one. I play each Age of Empires until I can crush the computer on Expert. It is slow going, but eventually I am able to do it.

These are the only bragging rights I have and those are the only times I have ever been so stubborn when it came to a game.

games I've beaten without losing a life
Wow, that's some hardcore gaming...

I don't think I could ever torture myself like that, but yeah Fallout 3 would be the one game I'd be fairly confident in achieving it with too.

In fact I'm 26 hours into my latest character and as far as I can remember the only time I died was from stupidly walking off an overpass while trying to get a nice vista saved :D
I wouldn't count that as a death for "hardcore" purposes because it didn't occur in the run of normal gameplay. Likewise I don't count any death due to bugs (falling through a seam in the scenery that should be solid, for example).
Aha... well as long as Liberty Prime doesn't squash me I will soon be finishing a deathless playthrough in that case.

Woohoo! (although I have played through 5 times and know it like the back of my hand so it's not all that impressive)

The original Call of Duty on veteran. My friends warned me, but did I listen? OF course not. It was the first game I've ever beaten on veteran, and it got down to me pretty much quicksaving after each individual guy I killed, because usually I'd die right after said guy.

Gotta love save scumming. Some games pretty much say "Look. Normally we'd look down on this sort of thing, but really, this difficulty level exists only because the developers needed a testing ground for the save system and the limits of the AI. We left it in figuring someone was probably stupid enough to attempt to actually play it."

getting an A+ on the "find the 3 chaos emeralds" mission in sonic adventure battle 2, the one with lasers on all the walls, and the location of the emeralds chages every time, in under 5 minutes.

Audiosurf, I had quite a few world records after launch.
I then loved the game so much, I decided to record myself taking the world record for "My favorite game" by the Cardigans. A few weeks later, I was dethroned. This led to days of playing that song over and over again until I knew it all by memory. On my 12893th try I managed to record myself setting the new world record and I was on top of the world, I uploaded it to youtube and showed it off to my friends who were more like "umm, okay nice to hear".
Some weeks later, I received an email from the audiosurf scoreboards with the title "You have been dethroned"...

I did CoD4 on veteran back to front without dying, i'm pretty sure i've started losing hair prematurely as a result! Currently stuck on crawmerax in borderlands, apparently it's pretty much impossible if you dont have a shit hot sniper or if you're any other class than a siren. My soldier will prevail though! Currently levelling a siren to bea it with though, that giant crabworm bullshit will die at my hand!!!

mw2's spec ops missions. you have noooo idea how many times I have tried some of those missions on veteran. I actually gave up on 2, with one having 2 stars, and "High explosive" has 1 star. I'm also a serious perfectionist in Just Cause 2
Is high explosive that one with 15 juggernauts while you only have knives and grenades? That one was easy. Just find a friend, get a building with only one entrance, then one of you stands in the doorway. Juggernauts come, guy in the doorway gets downed, but they can't enter. So the other guy can sit there and fire missiles at them all day.

Time efficient? No. Cheap? Yes. But hey, 3 less stars to get.
Thanks for this strategy! i thought about trying this before, but I never had anyone to play this mission with. imma go l33t hax a few juggernauts now :)

I keep trying to beat Super Metroid. I know it isn't hard but some fuck up or another has wiped the save about 7 times so far (after I beat it the first time) so its always starting from the beginning and trying again. Also it used to be getting the 'Gaurdin' Gnome' achievement in Left 4 Dead 2. If you don't know what that is, look it up. It is hell. BUT I GOT IT IN THE END!

I've been working on obtaining all items in Dissidia...
I've got 94% of the shop unlocked and maybe 80% - 85% of all items purchased...

If any of you have played then you know just how big this undertaking really is.
Yea I'm in the same boat, with about 95% of the accomplishments unlocked. Then again I've logged 500+ hours into the game and still don't have everything because it's not necessary other than for the sheer sake of doing it. I'm too busy kicking ass to buy everything, but I will get all the accomplishments for all the substantial awards they give you (unlike most acievements which are hollow gloating rewards). That and I don't wanna famr for stupid elixers for some of the weapons because once you play Blackjack course in Duel C, everything under that is a cakewalk.
