Magic: Duel of the Planeswalkers

There's an achievement called Spellslinger. You get it by defeating an opponent who has the Spellslinger achievement, and nets you 0 gamer points.

So... how did the VERY first guy acquire that achievement? :S

Let sleeping rockstar dies-kill a member who works at rockstar game studio.

I have that achievement

It's not just people who work at Rockstar, it's as they put it "a Rockstar zombie virus". Whoever kills someone who has that achievement or trophy then becomes a Rockstar for someone else to kill and gain it.

A weird trophy (I know it says achievements, but others have put down trophies so I will too) for me was on NOBY NOBY BOY called "765" where you had to report a length of exactly 765m growth. It's a secret one too, so you pretty much either get it by luck, or look it up. =x

It's a "viral achievement". Left 4 Dead had one as well, you got it when a player who had the achievement barfed on you as a boomer. Usually those achievements start on a select few people (developers I think?) and just propagate from there.

[Instant K4rma]

Theres an achievment for Saints Row 2 to get 100 nut shots.

 

[Kiutu]

Soul Calibur 4 for watching the intro. WHen I got it I was like "wow, thats stupid." It turned out rather clever since most people dont, or didnt anyways, have it. (I always watch game intros. (The ones when you wait at the start screen)

 

[whiskey rock n' roller]

In the Darkness, the one where you have to just watch To Kill A Mockingbird with your girlfriend. I haven't played it, but that just sounds odd.

Yep you just sit there then she makes out with you for a while and there ya go. I just wanted to watch to kill a mockingbird, its so awesome.

 

[Reaper195]

I hired it because it was only for a buck, but nonetheless, I hired 50 Cent: Gangsta Simulator 3 Blood In The Sand. There is an achievement called 'Not Bulletproof'. 0 Gamerscore, 'dying on Easy Difficulty'. I laughed for a while.

 

[Hollock]

simpson game you get an acheivement for pressing start

 

[maddawg IAJI]

Mercanaries 2 has a bunch of Achiviments named after famous Rock Songs such as High Way to Hell, Shoot to Thrill, and No more Mr.Nice guy.

I will never forget that game as it gave me 100 gamerpoints for just letting a player join in Co-oP. I kicked him after three minutes.

(One for letting him join and one for playing with a game developer.)

 

[newguy77]

I have no Idea if this is real.Someone please confirm.

Spoiler

Kind of, but I'll let K4rma explain

Theres an achievment for Saints Row 2 to get 100 nut shots.

On Battlefield Bad Company there's an achievement called "Darwin's Parachute." To get it you need to glide in a parachute for 3 seconds. One catch though: THERE IS NO PARACHUTE. You have to get in a helicopter, fly as high up as you can, jump out, and fall for 3 seconds. It took me a year to find this out, and that was because I checked it on a forum. Another weird one would be Avatar: the Burning Earth. It only has 5 achievements and all of them can be acquired in the first 59 seconds of the game.
Does anyone have any other weird achievements/stories about them?

Yeah, me and my friend were in a squad and I got in a helicopter on Oasis and my friend is flying and screams over the mike "LETS TEST YOUR REFLEXES!!!" and jumps out. I try to switch seats to recover quickly('A' Button) and accidently hit the B button and I fell out. I still have no fucking idea how to fly those retarded helicopters and I've bailed out of at least half the ones I've flown(The other half crashed or went off the map into the 'Artillery Zone'. I'm surprised you didn't get that by accident, everyone I know with BF:BC got it accidently.

 

[oppp7]

Because I almost never got the helicopter.
