ACHIEVEMENTS:
- Beating everyone in a Halo sesh (including Tom) at Shane's birthday that time.
- Being good enough at Soul Calibur to have beaten Tom on occasion.
- Beating San Andreas' final mission after one try (admittedly, it's probably not that difficult).
- Being able to beat the walking man-tanks and save the drowning people as Spider-Man (something that many people can't do).
- Completing my PokeDex in PokeMon Red.
- Beating Niall in an old-fashioned link cable battle.
- Getting 500,000 points in Quadra-Pop (a Tetris-like game on my phone).
DISGRACES:
- Losing Tom's respect after screaming "Can you feel the fury?!" after beating him (and dropping the controller on the ground, dramatically. Don't worry, it was mine.)
- Losing or coming second-last in just about every single other Halo sesh (or just general FPS sesh) there has ever been.
- Never being able to beat Gabor in The World is Not Enough (Medium Difficulty)
- Having Ciaran retardedly delete my saved game in PokeMon after months of tireless play.
- Using the Rare Candy cheat to get my PokeDex full.
- Using the Rare Candy cheat to have a squad strong enough to beat Niall.
- Watching Niall shatter my dreams as he unplugged the link cable and turn off his Game Boy, just as I was about to win.
- Never being able to beat Seth in Street Fighter IV.
- Catalina's betrayal. (How could I have been so blind?)

Achievements
-Holding my own for five minutes or so against a semi-professional Super Smash Brothers player before having my face stomped into the ground repeatedly.
-Never having lost a game of Soul Caliber. Ever. To anyone.
-Beating every Metal Gear game on every difficulty setting.
-Just generally rocking the faces off of every single friend I have ever had in every RTS game we've ever played.
-Defeating my friend Matthew in three consecutive Battlefield 2 grudge matches. He still claims to have won, but I have a few screenshots to the contrary.
-Beating Robbie in that one game of Quake 3 during our Business Law class.
Disgraces
-Losing every other game of Quake that Robbie and I have ever played. That was a busy semester in Business Law.
-Just generally sucking at Halo so hard that I get my ass kicked by everyone I play.
-The infamous Dead or Alive: Extreme Beach Volleyball marathon with my ex-girlfriend. The less said about that, the better.
-Anytime I have ever made the mistake of challenging Jaspar in a 2D fighter. Especially Guilty Gear.
-Bethanie's sudden, but inevitable betrayal during an intense game of Age of Empires IV. My heart is still broken.
-Any time I've made the mistake of playing anything on the Nintendo Wii.

Achievements
- Kicking ass and taking names in every RTS I've ever played.
- Achieving 100% in every GTA on the PS2 (that's 5 games).
- Achieving 100% in GTA: San Andreas in under 48 hours (that's straight-playing, btw. I'm that sad).
- My awesome Guitar Hero skillz
- Beating Seth in Street Fighter IV
- Despite not owning an Xbox or a copy of Halo, winning a large proportion of matches I've played.
- EV training an unbeatable squad of Pokémon in Pearl.
- Completing the latest Pokédex.
- Beating Mick in every Pokémon battle we've ever had.
- Being able to beat Jean at her favourite, or indeed any, game with little or no practice (which is especially funny considering the amount of time she spends playing them).
- Playing Pokémon in nearly every class I had for the best part of 6th year and not getting my GBA SP taken off me on account of it looking like a calculator (enough to stand up to glances from teachers anyway).
Disgraces
- Losing to Rob in Halo (while drunk, it must be said)
- Losing to Rob in Soul Calibur/Street Fighter IV on at least, if not more than, one occasion.
- Losing to Diarmuid's unexpected rush tactic in a game of Age of Empires II once.
- Submitting to Armageddon tactics in Rise of Nations on more than one occasion...
- Getting rusty at GH of late. This must be remedied.
- Losing to Diarmuid every single time I've played him in Pro Evolution Soccer.
- Choosing the Dark Elf character in Morrowind the first time I played it, just so I could make the character off the back of the box (Norse race FTW).

Disgraces- Losing to Rob in Halo (while drunk, it must be said) No, no, you were quite sober at this point in the night. |

Redguard is far superior and you know it. I do commend you on your halo excellence though. Although I still win a lot more often than you do, the fact that your're able to give me a very good run for my money every time we play despite not owning the game is amazing. I mean Rob owns an x-box and he's only won at halo once! |

And I think shooters without the mouse-keyboard combo are silly. |

Sorry, no. Redgaurd aren't the best (my deep-rooted recism could be a factor in my thinking so though... Norse are far more Arian... ahem...). And yeah, I should point out that Shane does win more than half the Halo matches he plays against me. At I least I beat everyone else's asses (Ciarán too!).
Just thinking about it, it doesn't REALLY matter what race you pick because at the end of the day, you end up ridiculously powerful anyway, regardless of the help you got along the way (with the exception of races that have weaknesses like the High Elf's weaknesses to EVERYTHING *sigh* and OTT advantages like Breton Magick etc)

Redguard: highest endurance the only stat it's important to have high at the start to get the most health at the end. Highest strength important because magic and stealth are shitte. Adrenaline burst THE best power in the game without doubt massive help at the start can be used to get far ahead early on.

Yeah, well Norse look the best, and as I pointed out, that's all that really counts at the end of the game when each race is pretty much equal. Plus, doesn't Norse get like 85 endurance off the bat if you choose the 'Lady' star sign? I thought that that was the highest.

I mean highest you can get not that it's higher than norse. Norse have greater willpower which is sh1t but redguards have greater agility I think.

Willpower has its place, Shane... it has its place... admittedly a shite one, but one none the less. You know what? I think I'll start playing Morrowind again. And this time I'll play with mods! (no draw distance mod anyone?)

Innorite!!! *joins Shane in salivating* It's not an accurate portrayal of the mod's abilities, but for those of you haven't heard of it:  Apologies for the large size. Could find any smaller. |
