I casually play Dwarf Fortress, I've heard it's considered a hardcore game. However, some of the more "Hardcore" dwarf fortress players terrify the hell out of me. Seriously, they'd make Khorne cringe with some of the shit they pull off.
As for bad-ass things I've pulled off in games, I actually can't think of anything truly all that awesome that the game doesn't actually set you up to do anyways, aside from beating Dark Souls with increasingly ridiculous equipment set-ups. Unless you count some of the things I've pulled off in DF, but awesome things in DF can be incredibly mundane compared to other games, like managing to fight off several enemies at once or hiking to the top of a mountain/volcano.
Seriously, just doing this actually counts as a historical event, people will actually make figurines and carve engravings of this.
I guess I'd call that a draw.
The fact it was full of arrows made of solid silver probably helped add a bit of weight to the throw.
I just enjoy the mental image. Shame I couldn't get more bounces out of him, but the room was only so big.

Killing a Titan, which is a randomly generated beast, by throwing a chunk of meat at it, causing it to explode. Though it was made of mud, so it's not like it was that strong in the first place.
Getting saved from a rampaging centaur by a freaking cat.killstealer. (The centaur was modded in, they normally don't exist in-game.)
Barely killing a dragon with a lucky stab to the head after it ripped off both my legs and my left arm. I still don't know how I didn't bleed out, and I still don't know where the hell I can find a crutch so I can stop crawling everywhere. I also don't know how someone can stand with a crutch even when they are missing both legs. Maybe it doubles as a pogo stick?
Getting thrown by a giant into a cursed cloud, which turned me into a nigh un-killable zombie abomination. Luckily, the giant didn't wander into the cloud as well, or that fight would still be ongoing. Seriously, evil weather can be hardcore.
