I'm not crazy about achievements, but as far as I have an opinion on them, I feel the complete opposite of Shin about them. To me having any "achievements" that amount to "play the game" are stupid. If I'm playing the game anyway, getting rewarded for that is childish and condescending, like the game designers felt the need to pat me on the back to affirm that I'm doing a good job.
My favorite game with mostly good achievements is Dead Rising. The achievements there are (almost) all kinda crazy and out of the way (there's one where you have to knock down enough zombies with a giant parasol, and one where you only rescue female survivors and kill the males for a "Frank The Pimp" achievement, as two examples), so you can have a bit of fun trying to discover them.
I'd never go online and try to find out secret achievements or how to get them though, that's just lame and defeats the whole point.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
