Successfully dodged WoW back in the days, got a degree instead. The only winning move is not to play.

Being a top ranked (PvE) enhancement Shaman during BC. Those were the totem twisting days and managing a rotation was about as nuts as it ever was when I was still playing.
Then life got in the way.
Then I came back and played fire warlock. (It was the most selfish spec in the game at the time. 0 synergy with any other class and gave no buffs, but hell did it put out the numbers.)
I was a Holy Paladin during WoW: Cataclysm.
About midway through I was completely geared up and I swear my holy shock could dome for 459k damage, enough to 1 hit most players at the time.
Those were fun times being a "healer".
I once saved a raid from wiping on a naxx boss by doing the last 1% of damage myself using LOH and bubbling at the opportune moment. Everyone else was dead.
Thats fucken intense lol while not as impressive but that stupid ass t Rex boss at the end of Pandora wiped my raid team. I kept myself alive solo just to berate everyone and tell them what not to stand in, then I let myself die.
Collected all helmets on Master level difficulty without dying at Titanfall 2.
99 woodcutting!
I took an Oxygen Not Included (pre Spaced Out) colony to 5000 cycles with almost no time warp. It was still going strong too, I just wanted to switch to the new (at the time) DLC.
A couple years ago I won 2048
Finished Doom eternal ultra nightmare I guess?
In crawl stone soup I had a win with every species and every background. They added more and I haven't kept up, but it was a pretty big deal.
It's a good rogue like. Recommend checking it out if you like the genre.
Top 150 ranked in world on Company of Heroes 1v1 a long time ago lol. Got to play against some of the #1's - one of them left to join the South Korean military I heard. Got stomped but was fun.
I was pretty damn good at C&C Generals: Zero Hour back in the day. Damn I wish they remastered that game.
Was ranked on global leaderboards in Dota for a brief moment, too. Top 1%, but never close to the 0.1%.
My favorite moment in gaming was playing a sniper in Red Orchestra in a large 64 player game. Huge map. All game I'm sniping people left and right. Not dying once. Meanwhile throughout the game, like 30 minutes, the enemy sniper is equally decimating my team's ranks. I was hunting for him the entire game to no avail. Then, while prone I crest this ridgeline to scout a valley below and as I pan my scope to look all the way down toward the other side of my ridgeline, I see the other sniper lock with me at Exactly. The Same. Time.
We both fire.
And since Red Orchestra actually tries to simulate ballistics, we both hit each other and die.
After way too many hours I finally got to Immortal rank in Dota 2. Now I feel kind of done with it haha
I realize that this is only an achievement to me, but when I got the Poeples Hero achievement for Skyrim. I was playing through as myself, trying to help everyone I could. I just wiped out the Dark Botherhood and it popped up. I was honestly touched, as I really cared about those stupid digital poeple I was saving. It made me feel like I was really making a difference.
beat my uncle on red alert :)
Back in the day, I could finish Fatal Frame 2(Wii edition) in under 3 hours. I had played it a lot so my camera was is "festival" mode and full upgraded, so I could pretty much kill a ghost on sight which sped things up.
Got every achievement in Terraria and The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe
I've platinumed every version of every FROM Soulsborne game on every platform that has trophies/achievements.
Making myself known on the Dreamcastic Channel on YouTube by playing Phantasy Star Online Ver. 2 with none other than Pcwzrd.
He was either ‘Teal’c’ or ‘Afro Thunder’ on there.
This was before I started over when I got another working copy of PSO after the other one broke.
There's 3 that come to mind. I've beat Dark Souls 3 and all it's DLC at level 1. I've beat Pantheon 5 in the Godhome DLC for Hollow Knight. And I've beaten all ascension levels for all characters in Slay the Spire.
I've beat Pantheon 5 in the Godhome DLC for Hollow Knight.
That's really impressive. I can't even beat Pantheon 3. That fucking Zote just keeps fucking me up. Even when I do beat him, I usually get too anxious, make many stupid mistakes, and die to Hornet. I can't even practice on Sly yet.
I can't wait for Silksong. That will fill my day when it comes out.
I think, probably....spending many hours over a few weeks helping people experience and love Journey after I got my White Robe. Twirling around on the sand dunes, exploring strange places, avoiding danger, and finally seeing them pass through that mountain.
For me every time someone stuck it out added to the memories and I hope each of them remembers that chirpy white robed player who made the game just a little more fun.
I was rank 34 warlock serverwide in wow before I abandoned it. I already have a job don't want another.
Dead Rising, Zombie Genocide achievement.
God I hated that game, half of it was load screens.
I was just happy to have a 360 as a kid, and a game my parents should have know better about getting me.
Mario Galaxy 2 - got all of the stars (240 I think)
I did some other stuff that I'm proud of but doesn't sound as "complete" as that
Beating Ninja Gaiden Black on Master Ninja.
I beat Dot Hack Infection, Mutation, Outbreak, and Quarantine in order back when they were first releasing on the PS2 in the US. And importing my memory card save every time.
My friend witnessed me defeat the final boss in Quarantine. It was such a long and crazy fight. And the whole thing was just mindblowing.
Sadly I don't have any pictures or videos of it. And I traded in my PS2 a long time ago.
I have been considering revisiting the game but it's a big game with ALOT of content. I don't know when I'll get around to it.
Good times and Good memories.
Staged a coup in my Archage guild, we managed to get away with basically all of the guild assets.
Joined guild, made friends with one of the officers and his small in-group of pvpers. Was a reliable asset and helped us get a couple of merchant ships and a galleon, plus had farms just full of high value trade packs.
Problem was the GM and I didn't get along very well. She wanted to dictate how we named the ships in a way that I felt was cringe as hell and generally wasn't open to input or criticism at all. One day I logged in at like 2 or 3 am when no one else in the guild was online and I just left the guild. Next day I logged in and sent messages to the people I'd made friends with and told them the GM kicked me, since it was well known she didn't like me.
Stoked the flames for an hour or so and convinced most of the in-group to quit after we took all the assets we could. Drew a giant dick with barley plants on the front lawn of the GM's player house and then they all g-quit.
She raged for months, shouting in global chat that we were a bunch of pirates anytime she saw us, and tried to gank us multiple times, poorly. It was glorious, but I never told any of them what really happened.
We also invented boatnado. The bouancy physics had a fun glitch where you could make a merchant ship spin on its end at an ever increasing rate and the mast would just fire any ships that got too close off into the horizon. Never fully managed to weaponize this discovery, but we had a ton of fun with it.
