[Amusing] My Achievements. Let me show you them.

I generally like achievements, because they are generally harmless. Like many people have said, the achievements in Mass Effect are pretty much top-notch, in that they provide actual, in-game rewards for completing various achievements. I think that some of the best achievements are ones that prompt you to play the game in a different way than you otherwise would. For example, there is no way that I would have used a light machine gun in Vegas 2 multiplayer if there hadn't been an achievement attached to them, just because LMGs generally go against my style of shootin game play, but it turns out that they are pretty decent weapons. Same goes for pistols on that game. I'd have never known just how deadly it could be wielding a pistol, but sure enough, I'm running around with a pistol, leading the room in kills. Multiplayer achievements can be good if they don't require you to do stuff that is silly. Getting X number of kills with Y weapon type is fine. Any multiplayer achievements that require you to play ranked games, however, are not fine.

Also, achievements that require the Live Vision camera are lame. Yes, the implementation of the camera in Burnout Paradise is awesome. No, there should not be achievements attached to it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

What? In the US, it at one time was not uncommon to get free food when you had eaten a lot. For example, if you were to eat 50 subway sandwiches, you could get a free subway sandwich.

How ya doing, buddy?
