Over Achiever is live!

[Creech]

The Over Achiever checklist is live! Go here for full details.

I also created a forum just for awards and discussion thereof, found here.

Lots of people have put an enormous amount of time and effort into getting all of this rolled out to, so many thanks to all the staff and subscribers for helping make this possible.

I think the new question of the day is.... "What's your number?"

[Foxxy kyle]

Hurrayyy!!!! I see you already got your award!

[Tsaako]

Good stuff, these are epic awards!

Had to test it to make sure it worked, yes?

Still, a little sad that I didn't have higher than gold. Clearly I have work to do!

[B A R 4 D]

Creech is on that gold like a boss. Great work everyone!

Hey I just checked mine, I only got bronze. Time to change around the ol' Gamefly queue!

Same here. I'd be happy with a silver.

[Spade.]

I have like 5 of these.

[Maka]

I highly doubt there will be anyone with 100.

There's a few achievements on there that'll basically make it impossible.

[Carmona25]

I think I posted it right....I have 17!

[Nozza x360a]

I know from when we were checking the list that I'm 3 away from Gold. I'll do a full double check tomorrow and post my results.

Here's hoping I missed 3!

There's a small misspelling on the checklist for 50 Cent BotS game title. It's Blood on the Sand, checklist has it as Blood in the Sand. Lol just thought I'd point it out no big deal.

The idea was to find achievements that required skill across all genres. So not just good at strategy games (at which I am very good), but also good at shooters (at which I am above average) and rhythm (at which I suck), etc. It is certainly going to be a challenge, but every achievement on the list can be done. Me personally, I will never get 100. I think if I sat down and specifically played games from this list, I could probably be in the high 80's to low 90's before I hit my cap. I just ran through the list (and I had missed a few, my number is actually 47, not 44...) and the ones I absolutely for sure will never ever get are:

• Beatles Rock Band
• Dance Central
• Guitar Hero III
• LEGO Rock Band
• Rock Band 2

I suck pretty badly at most fighting games and console classics, so I would also consider these highly unlikely:
WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2010

• SEGA Mega Drive Ultimate Collection
• Rumble Roses XX
• Dead or Alive 5
• Batman Arkham Asylum (this one because the ach is really for the fighting scenarios)

So that is nine that I consider basically unreachable for me, putting my max at 91.

Now Capn Doug with his musical and dance skills, could probably do all of the ones I have listed here (if he hasn't already) so the question would be how good is he at strategy games, shooters, etc...

Still, it will be interesting to see if anyone can get all 100.

I only have 2 of those 5, but I now have a little added incentive to get off my ass and practice.

Rock Band 2 is pretty easy if you have a second person to help. Possible activity next time PAX rolls around...

[Brtas Zowes]

Better get to work I only have 8 of them at the moment

[jamie1000013]

I have 24 at the moment, with literally all of them from the wacky achievement list it or whatever it's called :-P. I just wish there was a different CoD on there than CoD3 which has to be the worst one released. CoD 2 would have been much better. Oh well I'm just moaning because I have never played the multiplayer on Cod 3 or completed it on vet. Got the CoD4 one though.

I may just try and get all 50 of the wacky ones.

I remember many frustrating moments with COD2, that is for sure. Not sure I ever touched the MP for COD3. If you decide to try to rank that up, let me know. Might have to make time for it.

I have to get that one finished too. It is a bitch to boost though, you need 8 people.

OT, I have 18! Need to find 2 more to get up to silver...

I don't think I've got anything going on this month so we could try whenever :-P. So what is the boosting time on it I dread to think.

All I remember of CoD2 was that magical side step the Nazi's did which somehow dodged bullets. I did really enjoy playing it though compared to CoD3 which was a glitchy mess. I think I have maxed out every Infinity Ward game but none of the Treyarch one's. Close on CoD5 though.

Will definitely try Mass Effect 1 though on insanity. I think you could do the Sega collection one easy tbh it's really easy it just looks daunting. Also I'm with you on the fighting games and music games.

[dakisbac]

If any of you guys plan on boosting CoD3 now just be grateful that the community is most likely dead. Back when I did it we had to contend with regular players and, worse yet, anti-boosters who would quit when we did and follow us around.

But if any of you run into the same problem there is a fairly good way to deal with them: the person on the anti-boosters team should be a medic then coordinate with someone on the other team to find and kill them. Then you revive them and your friend kills him again. Rinse and repeat.

Tell me about it. I only did it about 2 years ago but pretty sure the game has been dead since 3 years after release of the game. I hear there are still some people playing the game till this day which is crazy considering how old the game is. General really depends on the players internet speed though lol you could get it anywhere between 10 & 50 hours.

[THE DEADLY DOG]

Looks good. Also looks like I am a noob.

[Callum x360a]

I better get to work on Dance Central, as it's the only music game achievement I'm missing. Man, I used to be a beast at those games!

Strategy games are my biggest downfall, so I guess it's time to start playing some and hope I can get pretty decent at them.

GTA IV and CoD3; If anyone is going to be doing these, let me know. I've been planning on doing them for years.

Noobs in the Guide team are winners really.

It's really not as hard as it sounds, and that game was so good I played through it like 6 times

Have some water handy for that. And blister pads. I swear, there was nothing left but callouses and future callouses in the balls fo my feet after I was done with that game.

[KillerBEA]

lmao

I have 2 of the hard ones and both were earned this year. The Dark Soul and What are you trying to prove?

Then I have 13 Quirky achievements.

That means I qualify for bronze right? I just want to make sure.... before I go and grab 13 links
