- Achievements and trophies are often rewarded to players for things they get up to in games. However, sometimes we make up our own goals. Here are the achievements that we made up for ourselves, and therefore mattered to no one else but us.

I wish to try pushing Roman out of a helicopter as well. Teach me, Oh Wise Ones.
Congraturation!
I am currently playing a mobile game called Pixel Dungeon. It's a Roguelike, and a tough-as-nails as the early ones. I haven't been able to complete it as of yet, but when I do, I plan to get as far as I can without choosing extra class features.
Jane: "I was super into World of Warcraft fishing"
Ellen: "What?!"
I completely lost it.
*Everybody: "What?!"
WOW Developers: "What?!"
I mean I was SUPER into Runescape cooking, crafting and fishing when I first played it so I can understand where Jane is coming from. Don't worry Jane, I got your back 😤
“Wut??” 😂
I think wanted to say cat fishing
"I am as stubborn as I am lazy" That's it. That's the most relatable line I've ever heard. I'm gonna use that line from now on
I always say, it takes me more effort to roll myself across the room in a roller chair, then to get up and walk over to pick up something, but gosh darn it! I'm already sitting down!
@@kookoo47 alright, so Laziness is one thing but can you honestly say walking across the room is more fun than rolling in a spinny chair?
Xazyv Hahahaha Nope! You’re absolutely right :)
"The only reason I will work is to make sure nothing gets done." -Ron Swanson
@@kookoo47 honestly easier for me to roll in an office chair because at least that way I'm at less risk of passing out lmao
In Skyrim, every time a guard says "let me guess, someone stole your sweetroll" I immediately drop what I'm doing and go steal a sweet roll. Side note: not that easy to find a sweet roll to steal in Markarth.
How many sweetrolls do you think you’ve gotten?
bonus if you put it in the guards inventory
This is hysterical.
I gotta do this now
Backroom silver blood inn.
I remember a long time ago before achievements were even a thing, my brother and I spent hours and hours trying to beat the original Splinter Cell without alerting anyone to anything. If the guard went "What was that?" It was concidered a mission failure and we had to reload. We nearly made it all the way through the entire game, until the very last level. There was a guard guarding stairs or a hallway or something, and we just couldn't figure out how to get around him. We must have spent several hours watching and creeping, and starting over and over and over again. Finally we just bit the bullet and tossed a can to the other side of room followed by the inevitable "Who's there?". We managed to finish the rest of the game according to our rules, but the one guard still bugs me to this day.
Melee killing everyone in every level by running up to them in full view of every other enemy while playing as the world's top secret agent is the most Mike thing that Mike can do and has ever done.
Sometimes going full Mike is the only way.
And in conclusion...
....
Mike!
Like if you get the reference lol🤣, hint is it's a popular TH-cam series
If there is no one left alive, he is still the world's top secret agent.
Let's not forget the exploding rubber duck!
If i was an enemy and someone ran through a hail of bullets to melee kill one of my teammates i would give up
House owner : "Someone robbed my house."
Cop : "How do you know this happened?"
House Owner : "Because someone cleaned up after cleaning out my safe."
The first one with Jane trying to justify Fishing and literally everyone just incredulous about it has me dying from laughter already.
Wait till she learns about fishing in Minecraft
One of my favorite segments ever. ^_^
In The Witcher, whenever i came across an abandonned castle or cave or house where there are specters, i made a duty to always light up every torch in the building to give back some life to the rooms, so that ghost feel good in their environement.
So satisfaying to see all those candles and torches enlighted indeed !
I do something similar in Assassin's Creed Odyssey where I HAVE to light the old torches in the tombs
Cut to a few hours later and the house burned down
@@r.j.penfold not like anyone was really living there xP
@@johnDoe-gz1qz Ya the living dead wher! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
In Skyrim I made a thief character nicknamed ‘Lavender’. My self appointed task was that, every time I robbed a place or a person, I’d leave a sprig of lavender behind as a ‘calling card’!
I love it, I started playing an assassin with a calling card at one point. The character was lost to starting to many new characters.
My assassin character leaves a Stalhrim arrow coated with the strongest level poison of nightshade and deathbell available without resto-loop as her calling card. The idea being that almost nobody in Skyrim proper knows about the ice, and I make sure to never have them equipped otherwise.
@@foxbird123 Good one, I don't remember what mine was. Guess it's about time to make a new assassin. Though my current character is technically a member of the brotherhood, but only joined to put my follower in the armor and take the dark cloth hood. As a dark cleric knight, he is much more the type to bash heads in and reanimate the dead.
i done something similar in oblivion & skyrim, but with a potato lol
Edit: i am half Irish, so i was the pilfering potato paddy XD
@@WizzardJC Which is a likely find anyway, guess that one is just for you.
I had an entire play through of Skyrim where I didn't loot ANYTHING from the containers in dungeons. I did however leave stuff in them. Because how does that gold wind up in all those chests in a random cave in a typical RPG? The way that it wound up inside them was ME. I was responsible for it. Some random, eccentric rich guy was responsible for ALL of it. I did the math and I forget the exact amount, but I deposited close to a hundred thousand gold in coin, gems, and random high value pieces of armor in various dungeons across the province of Skyrim
I love that people think to do this cause I'm the type to loot all but completely useless things (unless I get over encumbered.. That's the limit) and even then I'll sell those useless things. It's hilarious.
Legend
That's hilarious and something I need to do the next time I play Skyrim
I love how Ellen talks about how it was her goal to leave everything neat and tidy, like no one is there, and she's wearing a shirt whose slogan starts with, "She is messy" 🤣
Brilliant spot 😂
I'm 100% with Ellen on the closing safes/crates/doors/etc., and there's no greater feeling of having been cheated than when the devs don't program the option to do so!
These kinds of lists are my favorites. I enjoy hearing you guys' personal feelings about and experiences with games.
Chloë S I like them because they feel so...personal? Maybe that’s the word for it
They feel more relatable and human rather than just scripted

Yeah, I wish these were weekly or at least monthly.
Like Access' Tuesday Checklist (on Wednesday).
And it’s just amazing hearing the others pitching in
Not sure how much you'd class it as an 'achievement' exactly, but I used to play the Ezio based Assassin's Creed games in a style I like to call "Giving The Families Closure".
The idea was that the random town guards you frequently had to kill usually hadn't actually done anything to warrant you murder-killing them. They were basically just guys doing their jobs, making a living pretty much the only way they knew how. The worst they'd do was sound an alarm or attack me on account of all those people I done murder-killed.
Younger me decided that it was perfectly justifiable to murder-kill as many of them as I wanted (I was an assassin after all), but disposing of the bodies was a step too far. Hiding bodies was fine, as long as it was in places that one could reasonably expect them to be eventually found (in a haystack for example), but if a body was destroyed or placed somewhere it might never be found then the family of said murder-killed guard would never know for sure if they'd been killed on the job, or if they'd abandoned them, or if they'd comitted suicide or whatever. The guard may have gotten between me and my objective, but I had no quarrel with their family. Plus I figured that there might be some kind of payout for families of guards killed on the job (I probably just murder-killed their sole breadwinner after all).
For the most part, this just meant not throwing bodies into wells or rivers, but I also decided that leaving bodies on rooftops was taboo as well (how often do people find themselves of roofs after all??), so whenever I killed a guard on top of a building I'd always carry the body to the nearest populated street and hurl the body into the crowd. For their families sake.
Sounder so nice until the "hurl the body into the crowd" part. I am sure someone would notice a dead body on a roof, with all the carrion birds and/or a hapless chimney sweep might find them.
@@57thorns I think my reasoning at the time was it would be easier on their families to say their goodbyes if the body had undergone as little decomposition as possible.
So I made sure the body was discovered quickly. Discoveries don't come much quicker than having them thrown at one of those sodding musicians.
Murderous serial killer strikes again, throws victim into crowded market, dozens panic, three trampled in chaos.
@@XboxIsAHobbieForHobo "In lighter news: A bard was trampled to death earlier today when the body of a town guard fell upon his head and the panicked crowd stampeded over him. Witnesses at the scene report that, while the event was mildly traumatic, at least they no longer have to put up with 'That irritating bastard with the fucking lute'."
I did not see the "hurl the body into the nearest crowd" comment coming. I am laughing so hard I am crying XD. Thank you XD
In Breath of the Wild, I had started a challenge where I tried to beat the game with 3 hearts. While doing this, I climbed to the top of Ganons Castle and got a sweet screenshot of me on top of the world. One of my personal best achievements.
Jane always seems so badass and composed, but I had no idea she could be so adorable when she geeks out. Ellen's laugh is great and probably the biggest reason I keep coming back, but Jane's laughter is so genuine and heartwarming that provoking it would truly be an achievement to brag about.
One of my favourite geek-out moments from Jane was being literally dragged off-screen (I think by Andy but can't remember) while extending an arm and saying "Wait! I have more Mass Effect!" after a lore dump.
@@torgranaeloh no, I wish you remembered where that was, I want to see that now
The thing I love the most about Ellen is how everything she does, she's like "I know this looks stupid... and it is stupid... but bear with me, I can explain" And that speaks to me so much.
Ellen is an entire mood and I love it
Probably the gayest comment I've ever seen. I'm sorry.
@@ytcorporate9237 hey, that's... actually true. Sorry about that
@@ytcorporate9237 I don't know why you're apologising, having the gayest comment on youtube is a most impressive achievement and definitely something to be proud of. Well done Geraldo Neto!!!
@@Medaumplay3 Again, I'm so sorry.
GTA: Vice City. One night, during a group play session at my friend Wayne's house, someone idly wondered if you flew a helicopter into a Pan and Spray would you actually trigger a repaint. With cries of "For Science!" we each took turns to attempt this tricky feat. We chose the one on the western island facing the water, so we would have a good fly-up with minimal interference. 45 minutes later, after many comedic failures, I squeezed the ungainly whirlybird into the garage, landed it, and sure enough the door closed and reopened with a newly painted helo. The fact that I blew it up trying to take off indoors did nothing to diminish my sense of accomplishment.
Now THATS a funny GTA moment!!!
I did that once myself, did it also add wheels to the chopper?
Just gamer things. XD
lol, back when rental stores still existed my brother and I rented a completely different game and found that game underneath the other disk. Of course we kept it.
That's awesome! Despite the loss of the chopper, this still sounds like a win to me!
"REMEMBER ME GARY?"
This is amazing
When I was a kid I beat Kingdom Hearts by only melee-ing enemies. It was the first game I had played that had a magic/inventory system and I somehow completely ignored it because I didn't think it was important...it legit took me weeks to beat Dragon Maleficient and that was mainly because I couldn't skip the cutscenes before it and I could only sit through that so much at a time (fun fact: I now say "Alexa, true darkness!" To turn off all the lights in my apartment lol). I replayed the entire series before KH3 came out and fully utilized everything as intended whoo
"Gary Oak is an early lesson in nepotism for 90s children" - Luke Westaway, 2020.
Varun Chaturvedi Yet how unfortunate then that the lesson learned was that it works. 😒
@@Elemak501 Also Luke's description of how Pokémon moves work makes me think he's bad at Pokémon. You lead with growl to reduce their attack so you live longer, THEN spam the damage move.
@@marhawkman303 did growl even stack?
@@cmdraftbrn It does. Up to six times, I believe.
@@cmdraftbrn up to 6 times. one application would take off something like 25% of the enemy's attack damage though. 6 applications would reduce attack damage to 1/8 normal IIRC.
One or two applications then hitting them repeatedly was the best plan I think.
I'd like to see "achievements you accidentally earned" a list a times you had no idea what you were doing was going to get anything. I'm always entertained when I'm doing something random or dumb and it turns out the developer thought of it.
I love when this happens! Last time I can remember is when I was playing Broforce and got Shaken Not Stirred without really meaning to. In my defence, that button is normally for more useful attacks than 'martini'...
Charles Spiegel but it is the most powerful attack of all, you fool.
Punching the Slayer Door in Eternal is definitely one of them. 😂
I still remember climbing to the top of the base in Crackdown to see if I could (because, obviously you have to) and if I could then could i dive into the little, pin head looking pond from waaaay up there. Bing! Achievement
This happened to me in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. I was goofing around and throwing money at everything in sight, laughing like an idiot, and then I happened to fling some coins down a well. Bam, trophy! Your Wish Is Granted!
I was also the WoW fisherman. And when they added guild achievements, one of them was to fish an insane amount of fish (meant to be done by everyone in the guild). I'm pretty sure I did most of it by myself. And when it was almost complete, I actually waited until some other guild members were online, so they could see the achievement being completed as well. It was funny because they were wondering who the heck was actually fishing.
If there's a fox in the game I will not hurt it.
Legend of Zelda: breath of the Wild
Assassin's Creed 3
Red Dead Redemption 2
Skyrim
Even if I need fox skin for crafting I will not kill one. I even reloded a save in Skyrim just to save a fox that was killed by a bear.
sounds like you enjoyed ghost of tsushima then, you get to avenge foxes
I'm the same with horkers in Skyrim. I was saved from a frost troll one of first time playing the game (very low level, hadn't saved in almost 2 hours) by a group of horkers. The horkers and I were able to kill the troll, but all the horkers died. To this day, I try not to kill horkers and protect them from other enemies.
You are a good person.
If i need them Imma kill them
Even In RDR2 I wouldn’t go out of my way yo kill foxed, but I killed at least 2 because they were more grey and looked like coyotes coming to attack my horse..
Personal Acheivement for Every RPG I Play: Discover all major fast travel points before having anything to do with the main story.
Mine was "Immediately liberate all the Outposts" in Far Cry... And then 5 came out. Similar I guess.
I'm having Skyrim flashbacks man
What? I'm not the only one who does that? No, seriously - it's almost mandatory to do as much exploration as the game will allow in an RPG (especially in an MMO) before doing the main story.
Pretty much me in Breath of the Wild.
Fuck saving the princess. I need to find these towers
@@MoonlitRose101 ME SO HARD.
The irony in Ellen wearing a shirt saying 'she's messy' while talking about closing safes to be neat and tidy...
I had exactly the same thought. I very much hope that that was at random, but it was probably a completely intentional wardrobe choice.
I do it in games if possible because I like to think that if I don’t I will get caught because that gold bar I stole won’t be found missing until I am gone or at least nearly gone
Not so much about being tidy, more so that it takes longer for the victim to notice they've been robbed.
CrunchyNutCornflakes exactly
@@technophile0 It's a line from a musical called "Waitress," specifically the song "She Used to be Mine." so you're probably wrong and she probably just likes that musical.
I think you need to have a show with just Luke telling us his video game exploits. Between the feud with the frost troll and now the vendetta against Gary, I need to hear more
Them laughing at Jane for her WoW fishing story was utterly hilarious! As someone who played WoW from vanilla to Wrath of the Lich King and returned 2 years ago, I always have put in the effort to get my profession skills to max. It just feels good to see that 300/300 bar fill up! And Jane: Thanks for letting me be aware of how many gold pearls are needed for Truthfaith Vestments! Something I'll have to focus on when I get a Priest to that point in Classic.
*Truefaith... And apparently it's just 4 golden pearls for the vestments, maybe she was including what was needed for other slots, like Gloves of Spell Mastery, etc? :-)
Fun fact about Blood Stone: I was a tester on that game and there's an achievement in the opening levels where you chase the bad guy around Greece (Athens specifically) and can sink a bunk of ships during the process. Originally, that achievement was called "Grecian Economy." Which was a banger of a dark joke, since we were working on the game in 2009 and the Grecian Economy basically went into super debt and collapsed in 2008, and what you were doing in the level was basically leaving Greece like the Greeks had left their economy - Trashed beyond all repair. Ha ha ha. However, it was also a really MEAN joke, so we had to have some discussions about how to read the room and not be too cruel to the Greeks and open everyone involved in development and production of the game into a PR nightmare and potential lawsuits from the much more strict EU (at least when it comes to libel) because someone wanted to get a bit too cheeky with the banter.
Jane: I was fishing just for the... for the..." (gropes for word) Me: "FOR THE HALIBUT! JUST FOR THE HALIBUT!!!"
Wow! That's almost as bad as my jokes.
Deserves way more likes.
*WAY* way more likes!
Ellen would be proud of you.
Perfect
For me it's all about the little things I can do for companion characters I like, or villagers in Animal Crossing. Jacob was one of my first ACNH villagers and as a Lazy, he said it was the "best thing since he learned about pasghetti". So my housewarming gift to him was a pot customized to look like it had pasta in it. And when he displayed it on his table, it felt so sweet. I like to give back to NPCs I love, and games don't always make it possible, so i find work arounds.
I love how irrationally violent the hatred for roman was. Cause I played that game when it came out and it's just like... you can say no. It's like when someone asks you to go somewhere in real life you can just be like "nah, busy." It wasn't even that hard.
Gamers being irrational, violent or hateful is way more common than we'd like to admit.
"Slurs are a part of the fighting game culture"
"How dare someone say something negative about videogames, time to brigade angry insults and death threats"
Etc.
And then combine that with "haha, the angry yelling is funny" and people just played it up.
In fairness, I think the annoyance here is more the occasional call for activities combined with his whole character. He certainly isn't the worst person in the game, but he's not the best either.
Charmander: "Charmander learn flamethrower?"
Luke: "No. Always remember scratch."
Why did that make me feel so sad for charmander
I immediately realized it was cause charaizard reminds me of my old cat
@@utswriter because Luke always picks the saddest looking pokemon
My classic one was in Morrowind, where I wandered the island stealing every pillow I could find and stashing them in huge piles in my home base. My character had ultimate comfort, while everyone else in the world had to just sleep on a bare mattress.
I want to do this so much now that’s amazing
To be fair, the game does love it's pillows
Fallout 3 teddy bears!!
I did that with lamps and books.
I love how Ellen is talking about being neat while wearing a shirt that says "she's messy but she's kind"
I love the shear hate and spite coming out of Luke with Gary 😂 you see it’s not always true that you dig two graves with revenge. Luke pulled it off with just pain and anguish, but he was victorious 👍
For me it was when I was playing Breath of the Wild, trying to complete every shrine. One day, when I finished the 69th shrine, I noticed I also had exactly 120 korok seeds... so I stopped progressing in the game for multiple weeks so I could hunt down 300 more korok seeds and end up with the perfect 69/420 save file. I also sold things until I ended up with a rupee total of 1337.
...I thought it was funny at the time!
Nice
Why 1337?
Grape Toad because it makes me a very leet gamer, of course.
Relixala you are a person of pure fucking will and determination
Jim Cornette you fool no one will know what you were responding to
“Queensbury Rules”, Mike. The trophy, THAT ACTUALLY EXISTS, for beating up enemies rather than shooting, is called Queensbury Rules
The achievement seems to only require 150 melee kills. Mike tried to beat the entire game with melee kills. There's a small difference, I guess.
@@tonybart are we saying Mike was being an over-achiever?
When I was playing Vanilla WoW, I really wanted a Nightsaber mount for my Human main. Buying the faction mounts for a different race required the Exalted reputation, which, with your own faction, was tough enough by level 40, but as a human, you started at Neutral with the Night Elves rather than Friendly like the rest of the Alliance, which was an extra huge undertaking of reputation gaining (like 10k or something just to get to friendly and quests would give 5 rep iirc). I think running my level 3 character to Stormwind to jump a boat, and then hightailing it to the NE starting zone was the most harrowing and strangely rewarding part, but that was a LOT of time spent in Stonetalon and Desolace. I was garbage at PvP, which was the fastest way to build rep, so it was just questing and killing loads of demons and centaurs. Worth it? I don't know, but every now and then riding on it rather than the free warhorse Pallys get just made me smile.
Yeah, that naked run to Menethil was awesome.
Getting max level anything in an mmo is quite an accomplishment. Absolute respect Jane!
My cousin and me were playing Halo 3 and we had another run through Crow's Nest, when my Cousin decided to kick Grunt corpse down a ledge and said, as the corpse fell towards our target "Nobody will be left behind when the great Journey begins." Something the Prophets keep saying continously, but that small sentence ended with us, dragging every friggin corpse on the whole map into the Elevator at the end of the level, while muttering cultish rubbish like, "Come, the great journey awaits" or "noone left behing." or "The great journey begins now"
Just imagine the Marines watching in Terror, as we punched every covenant soldier we just killed through the level. And then my cousin killed the marines and let them join the covies in the elevator with the words: "The great Journey doesn't discriminate. It is the Salvation to all."
So, yeah, did that
Oh, that's fucking hilarious
You terrify me in a good way.
I think my favorite achievement was in Fallout 2, when I removed my wife's brain. It was not easy.
You can acquire this wife via a shotgun wedding. She will then join your party, kind of. She will follow you, but never fights or carries anything. She will go where you tell her to, until you get something like 5 hexes away, and then she will sprint back to your side. She was marginally better than the Pariah Dog.
Eventually, you can find a military complex where they make robo-brains that you might have seen in later Fallouts as well. I saw the opportunity for a "Wasteland Divorce" as nobody calls it. The tricky part was: I had to get her into a room, and activate the removal process from outside. So I had to get her as far into the room as possible, run out as fast as I could with enough time to turn and use lock picking on the door (because back in those days it could be used for both unlocking AND locking).
It was not a simple task, but then, there I had it, my wife's brain, ready to be put into a terrible murder bot. Hmm. I wonder if she would bear a grudge? Maaaaybe I'll just hang on to this.
Just read up on the Fallout 2 Wiki, yeah, that's actually one of the legit ways of getting rid of her along with killing her outright, selling her into slavery, or just getting a divorce. Apparently her and her brother were only made as a ball and chain for you. Makes me want a playthrough that keeps them alive.
"Death by cheese grater?"
Jesus Christ no, that sounds like hell
Cheese grater while completely submerged in a huge vat of lemon juice?
@@r.j.penfold *audibly cringes*
Ellen: "I like to be neat and tidy."
Ellens shirt: "Am i a joke to you?"
I love how Ellen and Jane's achievements are for positive/ constructive end goals, While Luke, Andy, and Mike's achievements are acts of vengeance or revenge. ( Luke V Gary Oak/ Andy V Roman/ Mike V Blood Stone).
I've never been so fast. My challenge in Skyrim was to Rob every single house in the realm. Still ongoing but I WILL NEVER GIVE UP. I WILL NOT LET OUT MY LAST BREATH BEFORE I ACHIEVE THIS.
0.Ryuu My goal in Skyrim would be to soul trap every named hostile NPC that can be soul trapped at all and use their souls to enchant large amounts of something stupid.
I had a goal in Morrowind of killing every named character in the game, but I gave up on that almost immediately.
For me it was acquiring every single book to get them on my shelves in my house, organized alphabetically. Had to use wikis to find everything but I think I legitimately did manage it, including not turning in quests that would have resulted in quest books going away.
The question is: Is The Elder Scroll considered a book? And if it is, do you also collected all the notes in the game?
I just steal all the cheese. In Morrowind I stole every light I could and displayed them in a small house in Pelagiad.
In Yakuza 0, 1, and 2 I always ended boss fights with a Heat Action, because I think that's the way it should be in my head cannon. I restarted boss fights if Kiriyu or Majima didn't finish off a fight with an insane heat action.
I replayed the Starcraft 1 campaign pretty frequently, and my favorite self-imposed challenge was to finish the human campaign producing only marines for units. If a level started with non-marine units, I could use them, but once they died that was it. It's a lot of fun and actually pretty challenging in later levels. In particular, the last level requires that you destroy an ion cannon that is on its own island with a ton of missile turrets and other units. Basically you have to take over the rest of the map using marines, the AI will slowly move the units off the island to reinforce the rest of the map. Then you have to make a ton of barracks and float them to the island, taking missile shots the whole way. whichever ones dont get shot down start producing marines and you win. It's really a fun way to play.
Oh my god, you basically did D day in star craft 😂 that’s insane
@@RageUnchained There's actually a se map settings map for starcraft 1 called Normandy that is literally based on D-day. ...loosely....its more just a well made hero vs npcs map.
Challenge accepted
I love it when Jane talks World of Warcraft nostalgia. I was a leatherworker, so I went around skinning diresaurs (dinosaurs, but not called that, because fantasy) forever to try and make some armor than didn't even have an agility stat... the memories of that game have such emotional pull still.
I can relate to Ellen and her ambition to keep stealthy in games that really let you relish in this style of gameplay. Closing cupboards and drawers after having stolen every piece of valuable junk out of them, really does feel quite lovely. 😀
I once had a goal to collect one copy of every book in Skyrim. Whenever I went on a quest I would make sure to pick up as many books as possible. Then when I got home, I would put them all in my dedicated book chest, then remove any duplicates and put them in dedicated chest of "stuff to sell the next time I go into town". Thing is I never read any of them. I just liked having the option.
I do the same thing!!
Trying to melee everyone in uncharted 4
I did it
Felt like melee-ing myself afterwards
Were you good when you started that challenge, man? Because I know you aren't after that...
Jane, I can completely relate to you.
When I was first leveling my first toon, hunter, in WoW, I spent ages skinning. I was determined to get the gold to purchase riding and mounts at the levels they unlock at (30 and 60). To raise the gold I used my skinning skill to farm all the low skins and sell them on AH or, if they didn’t sell, I vendored them. Yes I leveled up sooo many times farming skinning (the least profitable until max level), that I went from 30-37 and 55-60 just from hunting mobs and skinning them. No questing, nothing besides killing and skinning mobs.
Your toon was definitely on some sort of list
Nesingwary likes this comment.
WoW mounts were 40 and 60 when the game came out.
My personal achievement in any MMO with a player based economy... "Be the 1%"
To figure out a scheme and earn enough gold by the time I reach max level that I out wealth most players in the game/guild.
To complete the achievement, I do have to poll sample size of players to find out how much "gold/credits/dollars" they have before I am please I succeeded. Bonus Achievement points if I can buy something insanely rich in front of someone. (Succeeded in WoW, APB, Everquest, City of Heroes, Star Trek Online)
I lose the achievement, if I get banned from the game during the process. (I failed in Guild Wars, Ultima Online, Dungeons and Dragons Online, LOTRO)
Best was in World of Warcraft... by the time I hit L40 in Original Classic, I had enough gold to buy every mount in game (13000 gold), the average guildies had 100-250g and no one on the server had an epic mount yet. (Wasn't first to get an epic mount though, I was leveling too slow cause I spent too much time on Auction House). Did have a long conversation with a Game Master cause my auction house trading was getting reported, alot! So I did have to curb it back... by creating more AH Alts to diffuse the blame :P
Worst was Guild Wars... they banned me for having too much gold, unbanned me so they could spy on me to find out how I earned it, but I didn't fall for it, so they banned me again. Got myself unbanned, they took all my gold and gear, and then promised to return "an average amount - which was tiny" and pardon me for my previous behaviour if I told them what I did. Told them what I did... they patched it out... then they banned me later for something else :P
A good friend had helped me finish some of the trickier sections of Ocarina of Time, he knew the game inside out and back to front. So when he told me that if you played the whole game through with a) just the three starting hearts and b) without dying once then something cool would happen....well, I believed him. I started a new game and I spent weeks carefully proceeding through the game without picking up any extra heart containers and without getting killed by any bosses. I was so determined. And I did it, I smooshed Gannondorf good. Of course nothing happened and there was no reward. But it was still immensely satisfying.
I won the first ever Booty Bay fishing contest on Akama Jane. it was a nightmare, folks were ganking each other left and right, huge fights were breaking out, and I was but a lowbie barely leveled enough to be in the zone. I was just hiding, fishing, sneaking from place to place, and... I won! I was in the guild "Fishing Inc" and let me tell you, the Guild Leader was more than a little bit jealous. I chose the trinket that let me transform into a fish and probably surprised quite a few Hoardies when I'd jump into the water and go swimming off.
In Runescape during the Old School days, I loved exploring. Same with any other MMO I played, it never matter how low level I was or how everything could kill me in one shot, I would always go exploring dangerous zones.
In Runescape i explored the entire wildys at level 32 wearing nothing but a cape and holding a staff (Cause I thought I looked like a cool wanderer) everytime I saw someone on the map i'd bolt in the opposite direction
I love the "we've had an argument in the office" videos

Ellen: talks about how she's a neat freak

@@outsidextra Does that include "cleaning" the place out in games like Skyrim by not leaving anything that isn't nailed down?
Nobody doesn't like Sara B...
@@outsidextra I know how that goes, though I also do what you do in games unintentionally, which has served me well in the Hitman games.
I remember distinctly playing "Watchdogs" for the first time, and getting obsessed with the baton stealth. Something so satisfying about the cracking of skulls and knees, that I decided to play the game using the baton as much as possible. So I was 100% stealth (as often as I could without being forced into open combat) and using basically only a silenced rifle to headshot snipers that I couldn't reach... Very difficult at times but gratifying to think that you brought down the chicago underground with nothing but a metal stick and a few silenced rounds.
Jane, don't let them mock your dedication. When I played, I mained a Troll Holy Priest, who's professions were tailoring and enchanting. I too spent way too many hours fishing, but when it was all said and done, I had some kick ass robes, a crap load of gold from selling fish and items gained while fishing, and a sense of pride and accomplishment.
You did good. They can never take that away.

Jane! The feels! Ok, storytime, growing up when the WoW achievements came out there was a meta-achievement for fishing requiring all of the hardest achievements of the fishing professions. The hardest of all being to win the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza. A once a week, on a Sunday lunchtime, server-wide event to catch rare fish the fastest and hand them in. Not first to catch, but first to race across the area and get to the NPC at the top of the zone and hand them in.
I got all the other achievements, but problem. I grew up in a very religious family, so had to go to church around the same time as the event. For 2 years, I missed the event, occasionally rushing home and finding that it had just finished.
Then one day, it happened. We were all ill. This was it. My one chance to get the competition and the meta-achievement!!
I braced, knees weak, palms sweaty, vomit held in by lack of spaghetti. I raced to the area, caught fish, nearly with the required amount, when the server-wide announcement “Another player has caught all the fish!” I was heartbroken, but then I caught the last fish and raced across the area. I saw the other player. THE FOOL had autorun on and was caught on a texture. I sprinted past him, made it to the NPC. My name went up in the /1 chat. Achievements popped one after the other and my God I have never felt more alive!!!
That was 14 years ago and in truth, I know I never will. I peaked and it’s all downhill from here.
I feel you man. I was in the "exact" same spot for a long time (ok so I just wanted to lie in but it's similar).
I played the entirety of Red Dead Redemption without running because I thought John Marston was a cool guy who would slowly meander his way around at his own pace.
This probably should be a general entry on a fan-submitted list - "Every RPG where you chose to walk instead of run everywhere"
Oh my gosh I can only imagine how long the sequel would take if you never ran on foot. Sometimes as Arthur I just walk like a badass out in the open at the enemy, popping off heads like I'm a pro shooting ducks at a carnival.

In Zelda: Breath of the Wild, at one point I became obsessed with seeing how close I could get Link to a Silver Lynel before being noticed. Actually got right next to one and snapped a photo of it before teleporting the hell out of there before getting crushed.
Love this video! I have never done actual achievements as a thing before, and I'm nothing more than average at most games, but I really got a bug with the Yiga clan hideout in BOTW. I wasn't that far into the game, but I was DETERMINED to wipe them OUT. Anyone who has done that area knows that just fighting them is ridiculous unless you're a god mode player, which I am not. So I stealth killed. Ice sword, lightning sword, ice sword, lightning sword. It took me hours, since you get fully reset if they catch you. In the end, I did it... I killed them all. At the end of it, there was an eerie silence in the hideout. I went back there multiple times over the game... despite the fact the clan kept sending assassins after me, there was never anyone in the hideout again.
Quest for Glory V: Dragon Fire.: Using the spell "Thermonuclear Blast" to take out the final boss. Normally this is a joke spell. You use it, you destroy the world. Even if you use the spell normally in the final fight, you also kill your party.
However, something about the message you get when you do this made me think it could go differently. And it can. If you time everything perfectly, you can weaken the dragon with the pillars, AND tell each party member what your plan is and whichever love interest you rescued from Hades will teleport everyone but yu away from the battle, THEN you can cast the spell and only take out yourself and the dragon.
I still have a screencap from pulling this off. There's no reason to do this. None at all, but I'm still glad I pulled off the timing.
The death message:
"The Dragon of Doom would destroy your new home,
And Kill all the people who called you a friend.
So you Blasted the Dragon at the cost of your life,
With all Valor, you faced your vvictorious end.
In Honerable Death, there is gread Glory"
Cool
Awesomeness
Awesome 👍
Skyrim is one of my put on some music and relax games and one day I decided to make a normal realistic person. Not an adventurer or vampire, werewolf, mage, or anything like that. Just some dude in Skyrim. He chopped wood during the day and played at the inn in Solitude at night (I used a mod to make him a bard). He then joined the Bard College and then the Army to fight in the Civil War. After that he came home, eventually made enough to buy a house, got married, adopted, retired and still plays nights at the inn. Just a normal dude. He is my favorite character I've ever played as in Skyrim.
Watching you paint the sidewalk red reminded me of the time I accidentally bailed out of a helicopter on GTA IV, went skimming through a tree which saved like 2hp, meaning I fell out of the sky AND SURVIVED... then I tripped over a curb almost immediately and died! 😂 Honestly one of the funniest gaming moments I've ever had, and it's only rewatchable in the brainbox. I tried recreating it, but it's really hard to aim at a tree when you're up with the clouds...
That's one of the funniest things I've read all day. 🤣
Mine was always getting every possible captain dominated in the Middle Earth: Shadow series. Always completely dominated the entire army in every area and never got anything for it
I did that too
I remember specifically being a merchant in skyrim. The goal was to act like a merchant and hire people to do the fighting, focus only on selling and crafting, always wear fancy clothes. That sort of thing. End goal was to make enough money that way to buy a house in every main area including the two buildable ones. It was so fun to subvert the game like that
Andy and Mike's reactions to Jane's fishing story while Ellen giggles in the background makes this one my favorite OX list videos. I also kinda want a Jane live stream of fishing in various games.
Yes lets petition this, jk
I'm playing Skyrim a lot recently and I'm doing so through the figurative eyes of a different character, so I'm having fun with that. Basically taking D&D characters and playing them in Skyrim. True Neutral alignment who doesn't like to fight with swords most of the time is tricky. Requires a lot of stealth and magick. Might make a different save so I can play how I want freely.
I did something similar to Mike's melee kills in VTM: Bloodlines. I realised about halfway through that draining people's blood was the most efficient way to kill them because as it kills them it heals you of damage. Whether it was a glitch or not, it even worked on some other vampires. After that, Los Angeles was my buffet.
Hitman achievement: knock out every single person in the level, and drag them into one big pile.
Sure they did an Xmas challenge like that in dishonored basically body jenga
Achievement unlocked: The Mike Method.
Mike's probably already done that.
Unfortunately depending on the level, if there's a large crowd sometimes KO moves wind up acting as kill moves.
What I'm saying is, don't try this in Miami unless you want a lot of civilian blood on your hands.
Some Hitman npcs in the crowded levels are just not real people somehow and can't be knocked out and respawn if killed. I remember trying to kill everyone in Marakesh and it just wouldn't work
There was this light squad tactics game on the Wii called "Battalion Wars 2", which is tangentially related to the "Advanced Wars" series. In it you commanded a small squad of infantry, armored vehicles, planes, and ships, all of which have their own strengths and weaknesses and could only attack certain other units. Pretty standard RTS stuff, however the game's main gimmick was that you took direct control of one of your units at all times and could switch control to any of your units on the fly, turning the game into a hybrid RTS and 3rd person shooter/arcade flight sim/world of tanks/world of warships thing. Usually, this meant that the player would take direct command of whatever unit was the most combat effective for the current skirmish to protect their more vulnerable units, since player controlled units took less damage, dealt more damage, and your AI controlled teammates were bleh.
What I did, instead, was something I liked to call "Rambo mode". Any time a level spawned the "machinegun veteran" unit (one of the only units that could effectively attack infantry, vehicles, sea , and air targets, though he wasn't the best at any of those roles) I would take control of the machinegun veteran, command the rest of my army to wait at the starting area, and proceeded to try and beat the entire level on my own just to show them how a real man does it. And also because I had way too much free time as a 12 year old boy.
Yikes, that would have been tough.
That was a great game TBH. I remember carefully using the big tank at the end of the game to snipe the enemy towers and units so I did not take any casualties.
Cool and sounds hard.
My favorite fake achievements are in the original Legend of Zelda. First, I tried to skip the brown sword at the beginning of the game, and start with the white sword. It only takes a couple extra heart containers, so no big deal.
Then I decided to skip the brown and the white swords, and only get the Master Sword. Quite a bit more challenging, but ultimately doable.
Then I just decided "Fudge it, no swords. Get to Ganon without a sword." And I did that one.
The best part is you need a sword to defeat Ganon, so you can't actually win. But just completing the journey feels like a win.
Then I did it on the second quest. That was the true win.
as a former WOW player, i commend you so much on that first one. I remember back in the day, fishing Deviate Fish from Wailing Caverns for HOURS to sell on the AH
...and to drink with noggenflogger potions to make my already tiny gnome mage as tiny as possible.
In Splinter Cell, we have an intensely challenging run called "no traces", in which we move through the level touching literally nothing except for things required by objectives, including guards. This is the ultimate way to play stealth games
In the Splinter Cell books their job description is described "no one should ever know they were there". So most of the time I won't even knock out guards if I can sneak passed. I love those games.
It's just like Achievement Hunter's series "Imaginary Achievements." Absolutely the highest form of entertainment.
Oh yah, It's been a while, I'd forgotten that they used to do stuff like that.
I always love these kind of videos, the more free form videos, just hearing you guys all BS with eachother is always great
There was a fishing achievement in vanilla WoW: Stranglethorn Vale Fishing Extravaganza. It was a weekly fishing competition that gave a unique rod + hat if you won.
You know how when you complete Metal Gear Solid AND watch to the end of the credits without skipping them, you get either the infinite ammo bandana or the stealth suit, depending on which ending you choose? And then you can replay the game with this new gear?
Well it turns out that if you complete the game a second time, and choose the other ending, then you can ALSO unlock the other item, and do a 3rd run of the game with both, now pretty OP and with a full knowledge of how to defeat every boss, solve every puzzle, where every guard goes, etc etc.
BUT there's another item you can unlock. Complete the game 3 times, and on your 4th playthrough Snake's character skin is switched so that instead of his sneaking suit he's wearing a tuxedo like James Bond. The tuxedo confers no additional powers at all, it just looks cool. So yeah, I completed the game as the suavest version of Solid Snake, knowing every inch of the thing backwards & entirely untroubled by even the toughest battles.
And the best part is that I didn't even own a PS1 - it was my mate's PS1 & I was only doing it because he dared me to complete MGS in the tux, not realising how much I was gonna really cut into his FFVII time in order to murder everyone in Shadow Moses 4 times over. Should've been studying for my degree, but no regrets at all.
This list kind of reminds me of how in Pokemon I've never liked saving my game ready to turn it off with my character stood in front of doors, the pc or the pokemon centre's front desk, because it feels rude, like in my tiny child brain I'd be thinking what if one of the NPCs needs to use them and my character is just standing, unresponsive, in the way? It's so dumb but to this day I still can't save in any of those spots. 😅😆
Don't feel bad, I do exactly the same and have always done it. I also have an obsession with only saving and turning the game off when my character is at a safe spot, most especially in his/her home/lair/quarters or inn room after having slept overnight. Occasionally if it just wasn't near night time and I didn't want my character to sleep then I'd have him/her sit down at the inn's bar area at a table.
Never been able to shake that habit.
Confession: After I get Fly I always go back to my mom’s house in every Pokémon game. It just makes sense to save there. My mom is worried about me. xD
Also, Shinies are the ultimate iteration of “achievements that only matter to us.” I still love them anyway but yeah... no competitive value there.
Same
That's actually really cute 😂
I would always save in the middle of a PokeCenter. Always. For BotW tho I did like to save inside the house you own
Close to your Scratch, mine was using Venusaur's Tackle. I went through so many Full Restore items but it was worth it in the end.
I'm so glad that Luke and I still play Pokémon games the same way we did when we were 7. Effectively strategising by using status effect and stat changing moves? No thank you. Offensive moves only and then powerlevelling. I made it a habit to be at least 20 levels above the current gym leader.

Zedaya Rose i have questions for either name really
I love seeing these videos and I always look forward to more! As for my own pointless achievements, in GTA 3 I used to engage in what I liked to call "pedestrian bowling". Take any car and get it up to speed, then aim for a group of pedestrians and jump out of the car before you hit them and see how many people the car knocks down! Good times!
I hope all of you are doing well in these difficult times. Stay safe everyone!
I've never even played World of Warcraft (as I always deliberately steered clear of an MMORPGs knowing what time sinks they can be)... but that WoW "fishing mastery" story was such a relatable thing, it had me giggling the whole way through.
Game: go back for your friend!
Nikko: *screaming as he falls out of the helicopter*
Game: your friend has been abandoned.
Nikko: *plunges into the river from a massive height, still screaming*
I was playing World of Warcraft when achievements began and I got the meta-achievement for completing all of the fishing achievements in the game! For the culmination of about a year of intense fishing effort, I was awarded with the title "Salty"! Because we all know when someone calls you "salty" that means they really respect you.
i always like to see how high of an elevation i can drop from without dying/injuring myself. like, can i jump off a cliff and then press the double jump button right before i hit the ground to soften the landing? can i slide all the way down the side of a mountain without actually falling off of it? it always makes me feel cool.
Collecting every Xenocard and then beating every deck assembled with as many varied types of decks as you could in that beautiful card game from Xenosaga Ep I. Getting the last of the cards even involved running deep into the final dungeon, beating a boss, then backtracking back out, but it was so incredibly worth it! Xenosaga needs more love so we get a port!
I remember I was really proud of myself for playing through fallout 4 without fast travelling at all. I hoofed it across the map every time there was a mission or settlement in trouble and eventually gave myself the luxury of using the brotherhood of steel's vertibirds as transport in emergencies. A little added challenge was not having the pack mule perky that enabled me to run while over encumbered and not having the aquaboy perk that gave me resistance against rads and water breathing. It really just consumed more time than anything, but it helped me feel more immersed with the inconvenience of the apocalyptic wasteland.
I do that in The Witcher 3. Sail back and forth between islands and everything.
Currently playing through RDR2 doing this. No carriages, no fast travel from camps. Amazing how much more you actually feel like a part of the game's world when you have to get around it like a normal person instead of just blinking and you're there.
I did that for a while in skyrim. Downloaded the frostfall mod and tried to go everywhere true survivalist style. Only fast travel allowed was hiring a carriage. Having to seek shelter and keep warm, set up camp and search for firewood, and walk over harsh terrain made everything take significantly longer; but it was a lot of fun and it led to some very interesting random encounters. It really adds to the feel of being an adventurer.
The WoW story reminded me of... shudder... the Stranglethorn Vale fishing tournament, held weekly. It was a cool enough thing to do prior to achievements actually coming out, but after they came out, it got more competitive because achievement hunters wanted to knock off their one-chance-a-week achievement.
I was an achievement hunter when they first came out (was one of the highest few on the server - Dath'Remar IIRC - along with a guildmate who was also very high, and some alliance competitiors), and one particular... Sunday I think it was on? Anyway, I got my last fish. Was running to the NPC to turn it in. And like 5 seconds out from the NPC... someone else turned it in first. BAH! Not only that, but that player (a fellow raider, albeit in a more casual guild) actually stopped playing WoW less than a week later. 🙃
Back when I played RuneScape, Runecrafting used to be my lowest skill. Then, they released the Runespan, which I found incredibly fun at the time and also catapulted me upwards in levels, to the point where I decided that Runecrafting would be my first max-level skill. As I closed in on that mythical 99 Runecrafting, I started passing the time by "leveling backwards", counting the time to the next level by saying "oh, this is enough to get from level 1 to level 60, now it's enough to go from 1 to 59, now to 58", and so on, because boy it's a slog, and I got it in my head to "close the loop" by hitting 99 Runecrafting by crafting air runes at the air shrine, because those are the first runes you make. And that's what I did.
