I actually corrected this because it's offensive I called it a catch as if it wasn't a bigger brag.
What's the dumbest brag you have in gaming?

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 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

Titanic was called the Ship of Dreams, and it was. It really was.
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..

Core memory activated! Bloody great little game, loved that one back in the day, the pointer controls were terrific.Okay, here's my true confession: I was a pretty dominant player on Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 on the WII!!!

I am almost certain that I was singlehandedly responsible for getting certain things patched in a couple of known games due to me complaining non-stop about them on developer forums to the community managers.
Rex Dickson (former Madden community manager), he would post on the Operation Sports forum and I directly brought it to his attention that the aggressive catch that they introduced in Madden 16 was brokenly overpowered. He didn't believe us at first but my comments then started a giant debate on the forums and he eventually stated he would look into it. It got nerfed a week later.
A similar thing happened with the Friday the 13th game. I complained on the developer forums for over a year non-stop about how items dropping on the ground after players died ruined the game. Games would get soft locked because somebody would get killed in the forest, drop their key items, there was no indicator on the map where they were dropped so nobody knew were they were and the killer would always win. I was one of the only ones annoying the developers non-stop about this weekly until they finally fixed it.

The guild I was a member of was in the top 100 best guilds in guild wars while I was a member. It was a fun time all other members were awesome people. We didn't have enough tanks I had to particate in every match against other guilds. Does it count as a stupid brag?

I'm impressed. People complaining about rubberbanding AI in Mario Kart and the like have probably never tried this.I legitimately beat this puzzle.
I had enough trouble already playing The 7th Guest with limited knowledge of English, but this puzzle was genuinely impossible. I read that playing it on faster CPUs than those it was originally meant for screwed up some variables and made it completely unwinnable, so at least I had an excuse.
For what it's worth, I was first in Italian online rankings for Ikaruga (GC version) for a few days. But pretty few people actually bothered to post their results online, so there were much better players who I could never have beaten.

It's not my brag, it's my wife's:
We were trying to see if Dark Souls 1 was viable as a co-op multiplayer game, way back in the day (it really isn't, but yeah, this is when it was new). At the time, the only other PC we had was a pretty cruddy laptop, and she wanted to see if the game would even work.
It did. Sort of. But for whatever reason, she just started playing with the trackpad. It was so dumb. She was sitting there and laughing, "this is terrible," for like an hour. The struggle was real, but she did it anyway just because it appealed to her twisted sense of fun. She died again and again just trying to clear the starter area, and she wasn't happy until she killed the first boss on the wall.
She brags about it from time to time - and whenever she does, I can't help but to ask myself "why, though?"
I guess she has achieved something I never will. I guarantee that I will never attempt to recreate her achievement. I guess wifey's got me on that one.
