He had four touchdowns in one game for undefeated Polk High. Get the story right!

I actually corrected this because it's offensive I called it a catch as if it wasn't a bigger brag.

The only game I got 100% of achievements for on my Xbox account is some tower defense game I played on Windows Phone. I don't even remember the name.

I got a FFXIV Private Residence.

... during the 'rona when evictions of lapsed accounts was disabled

... and before they added the lottery system or whatever they have now

A total of 72 hours of speed-clicking on a fucking signboard, trying to bid-snipe the 30 other people trying to do the same thing.

If you were there you'd understand.

Each new house would show up on the market with a hidden availability timer between 0 and 24+ hours. You would have no idea when it would become actually available to purchase, so all you could do is click on the sign again and again hoping you could catch the sale when it actually went live. Since there was very limited stock, everyone else in the market would be there as well doing the same thing.

edit: Oh god now I remember it was even worse - if someone else already had a house, they could buy the property immediately without waiting for the timer. So you could have been chain-clicking for like 8 hours and someone who wants to relocate could just waltz up and take the place at their leisure.

I had basically given up on ever getting a house due to all the shenanigans you already mentioned. But one day, I was hopping around XIV streams when I came across one where the streamer was clicking the placard and I remembered "oh right, there's housing in this game".
So I thought which district would be the least popular: The Goblet. Made my way to a division that had two available smalls. Went up to the first and there was someone already there doing the placard dance. Went up to the second but no one was there. Clicked on the placard, clicked purchase and I was met with the fanfare and text: estate purchased.

Huh??? My mind was blown that I got a housing plot so easily. Still makes me laugh honestly

I won several tournaments at a big Arcade center in my area. I got several T-shirts and a hat. The game was Virtua Fighter 3.

I'm a master at VF... Have been training since the first one came out. Though I kinda stopped after VF4. I still play it but not as often..

Played EQ for 96 hours straight, with pauses for pizza and buying snacks.
I was pretty knackered and slept for 24hours afterwards.

Got me beat then. I grinded in Disgaea for 3 days without sleep.

 

[LimanimaPT]

I've beat Zico.

 

[intbal]

I legitimately beat this puzzle.

Okay, here's my true confession: I was a pretty dominant player on Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 on the WII!!!

The first and only time I ever written to a magazine (pc gamer), only to get letter of the month and a brand new graphics card.
