    After sitting through the mile high club marathon I really can't wait to see whatever horror they force on him next, and I'm sure everyone has their own ideas for the next instalment so I thought we could discuss them here. My first idea was too vicious, which was doing challenge 6 in Vanquish, but I'm not even sure if he has played that, maybe they could do a breaking Ryan for that but that doesn't have quite the same ring to it, anyway...

    I think an "Obtain the Hand Cannon" in RE4 endurance run could be awesome, easily doable in under 4 hours, for those that don't know: in order to unlock the Hand Cannon in RE4 you must 5 star all four stages with all five characters in the mercenaries mode. Not 100% sure if he has already done this back when the game came out, but I think it would still be a viable option considering how long it's been since he played it.

    What do you want the next Breaking Brad to be?

    I'd like to see a solo run of some Halo 3 or Reach levels on Legendary with all skulls.

    I remember him talking about it on the bombcast but I don't think he attempted it. I cannot verify it because he has no achievements for that game on his profile.

    I think he lost his Dead Space 2 save files along with a ton of others, I remember him talking about a memory stick corrupting or something, might have been on the bombcast but I think he lost his saves either way. Wouldn't be too big a deal to unlock hardcore mode though, he could just blast through the game on easy or normal.

    @Reddy1124: agreed, that is my favorite achievement of all time. I was just thinking of something that he could try, fail, and retry over and over like his past attempts.

    Takeshi's Challenge, no walkthrough. Watch him suffer as after his smooth and sultry voice has finally convinced the game to advance itself, he pushes a button on the map screen, fucking up all that progress he made.

    @Reddy1124: Absolutely. Or the similar achievement in LFD2. That'd be short enough for a video, but still tough.

    Speedlunky and the Trials Evo achievements were really good ideas. I think they might actually be a little TOO hard though. :P Speedlunky only has like 10 people that have completed it.

    MK9 tower is a great idea!

    This is such a good suggestion. It's not so hard that he'll have no chance at it, hard enough that we'll still get plenty of Brad rage, varied enough to keep us interested, and it's the perfect length for a two or three parter.

    That one isn't too hard to get, just tedious. That goes for the L4D2 one as well.

    Maybe he can try doing all the Bastion challenge levels with all the Idols activated.
