A beautiful wife who loves me despite the fact that she's the only thing I can post in this thread.

Didn't really want to click on this thread and read other peoples' achievement stories, but I'm glad I did.

I swear some of you are from a different planet to me -_-
 
-Won a few writing awards when I was a kid.

-Got into a university with a sub 2.5 GPA.

-Own a home despite being broke as fuck (mom gave it to me for tax purposes).

I'd like to think my journey is just beginning.

Sonofabitch. That's what I need to do. Hell, you can just give me a week in Tokyo and I'll be cool.

You could probably afford that house already if you hadn't spent $37,000 on drugs, Amir0x.

I could have afforded it way before, if I didn't spend a significant amount of my savings paying for my mom's dialysis treatment because she's dying of a horrible disease called Wegener's Granulomatosis and her health care provider arbitrarily decided that they would only pay for 20 treatments a year when she needs three per week and each treatment costs $600 dollars.

All the years of drug payments were totally worth it though, lots of great times... and life is short and about the pursuit of pleasure, so as long as I'm spending it having a good time, no regrets.

Having a screenshot I took printed on an Xbox 360 game disc.
Click to expand...

While not a greatest achievement, one game I worked on we took a heap of screenshots during a multiplayer session. One of them had recorded the death text message of me owning the lead coder printed on the back of the box. Something like "Wetwired laid the smack down on Mortimus" I gave him shit continuously after that as there was some pretty heavy trash talking in that office.
 
Graduating College (becoming only the second person on my mother's side of the family to do so.)

Landing a new career job that I'm about to start in 2 weeks.

Beating Mushihimesama Futari and DoDonPachi on one credit. There's also a replay I did for the Extra Mode in Touhou 06. (Video game achievements aren't really great achievements, but still, why not throw a few games up there?)

get bent

Definitely my kids. They're both pretty great little people and my son in particular has overcome some pretty big challenges.

I did some pretty big things in my last career that I'm proud of, nothing ground breaking but they changed the way things were being done company wide.
 
Some amazing and inspiring achievements in this thread. :) Here are mine so far:

1. Written/recorded/produced 2 full-length Electronic albums released only a few months apart this year on iTunes and I'm only just getting started.

2. I was a major part of the Saudi Arabian Rock and Metal scene during its heyday of trying to avoid the religious police just to play music we love. I've played drums for 3 bands, guitar for 2 bands. Have several recorded material and videos up on YouTube. Played in all three major Saudi cities and twice in Bahrain (one of which was stopped by authorities due to people wearing black t-shirts).

3. Played shows in New York, Houston, and Maryland Deathfest with my grindcore band, Creative Waste.

4. Got the amazing Kevin Talley to produce drums for our record and had him record two drum tracks for us.

5. Wrote the score for two Saudi films and was mentioned on Saudi national television. There was overwhelming praise at film festivals in regards to the music.

6. An Agent Whiskers track played live on radio Bahrain and my second album made it to the upcoming print issue of Rolling Stone magazine middle east (they choose whether to put it in print or just online).

Hope I didn't forget anything.
 
Getting into a US top 100 College/University with a highly selective acceptance rate for a masters program, along with an assistantship.
 
Still being alive after 6 ex-girlfriends of which one fucked me over completely by emptying my bank account, not telling me she's pregnant when she broke up with me only to find out 9 months later. My best friend killing herself, my mom recently finding out she has cancer a couple of years after our family somehow reunited in an agreeable way and me switching job in the same company and end up really hating it, me having a drinking problem I think. Still I keep my chin up, working on one problem at a time. Sorry gaf, I'm drunk, needed to vent and somehow proud of how I've been keeping up (except for the drinking problem :\ )
 
Making my Dad say he was proud of me.

Took him 25 years to say that, bastard!

Otherwise, not sure. I would say my job, but so many people have better and more enjoyable jobs than me. I guess I'm just a bit boring.

Maybe I need to find something else out there.

with the best tag ever
Obsidian solidarity *bro fist*

my biggest accomplishment is not being dead i guess haha. and not cutting myself shaving the other day

Not even joking, I wish I could do this. I don't know what mystical secret allows all you motherfuckers to never cut yourselves, but I do it all the time. Ughghhhghgh.
 
I guess my greatest achievement, although it's minor, was being praised for my writing by an ex-New York Times journalist.

I don't have much confidence in myself, so I've never really accomplished anything. I'm still in a phase of being unsure of what I want to do as a profession, so I've been unable to run at anything.

I cheat and use an electric shaver. Although I am proud to say that when I used a regular disposable, I have only ever nicked myself once.

I only use warm water and a disposable. Have only cut myself once and that was because someone distracted me.
 
My greatest achievement would probably be...well I don't know. I don't have much to say. Getting born perhaps? Beating half a million other sperms by being the one who gets to be deeper in a woman's vagina than any man's penis ever will be?

...


Yeah, I guess so.

The trick is: Use one of these:

And then one of these:

If you still cut yourself shaving, you're doing something very very wrong.
