GiantBomb Achievement Suggestions

So we know an achievement system of some sort is coming for doing stuff around the site- we just don't know when. It will come though at some point, if you trust those engineers upstairs. Anyways, post any ideas or suggestions you'd have for GiantBomb achievements here. Bonus points for making the title an obscure reference.

Here are some of mine.

  • Rorie- Write an awesome guide for the site
  • Obsessed- Get over 1,000 points on any page on the site
  • Social Butterfly- Have over 100 friends in your network
  • Fluffernutter- Write a totally stalkerific page about someone in the games industry
  • Jose Apple- Upload a horrific amount of images to GiantBomb
  • You got something to prove, kid?- Be one of the top 100 wiki editors

Now, dear reader, it is YOUR TURN! Post some achievements you think it would be cool to see on GiantBomb when they launch their achievement system.

That's a bunch of BS - An honor for those who were once regulars of the Bomb Squad
A slice of the (Josep)pie - Has been the top wiki contributor (Joseppie was the first, so he gets the honor of the achievement name) could also just be a daily thing
Giant Bombing - Encounter any staff member on Xbox Live, PSN, Steam, or other gaming services
Bad Company - be friends with a user who is banned
Straight to the top - The first people you befriend on the site are staff members
Missingno - Have more then 20 points on any page which has been deleted
Suneku? Suneku! SUNEEEEKUUU! - Post on the forums whilst under the influence (Could also be named SunekuBUD420, or his name on Comicvine, can't remember that)
Still a threat - Gain enough points to become the top editor on any page with a previous leader who has over 500 points on that page
Why so serious? - Blog about your personal life
Tree falling in a forest - Use the official suggestion topic

Also, that "A Canadian in Italy" idea should be for anyone who sets their gender status at other, or changes their gender status at any time.
I do also hope that Bodega's "Wiki Snob" idea gets in there, having lots of points for SotC, ICO, and Braid.

  • HAND OF GOD - Post a screencap of a Godhand quote.
  • Wait, is Virago a GIRL?! - Incorrectly guess the gender of a Gianbomb user.
  • "COD4 Is For Noobs" - Add CrunchUK to your ignore list on the IRC.
  • I'm going to fuck you up Jayge!! - Take part in a Bombing Run
  • WHY ISN'T MY KNIFE WORKING?? - Take part in a Bombing Run while drunk
  • The Community Is Still A Threat - the majority of people on your XBL/PSN friends list are Giantbomb users.
  • O THAT SUPERMOOSEMAN! - Write "fan" fiction about another Giantbomb user.

There are a lot of awesome ideas in this thread. Someone needs to make this happen - although regulating and awarding these points would be a total bitch....

I love all of these. I really hope the obscure and qualitative ones are implemented, and if necessary, I'd be willing to watch the site for those ones that can't be done automatically. The more fun the achievements are, the better.

It would be so awesome if Giant Bomb actually did have achievements/medals.

It will. Snide/coonce have said repeatedly that they're coming.

These thoughts are really better suited to your blog- Submit over 50 blogs to the site
RSS Reader Strikes Back- Post a breaking story on the GiantBomb forums before anyone else
Stop following us around in that white van- Do something creepily obsessive relating to Giantbomb (Such as writing a song)
The nicer beaches tax- Add a bunch of Australian release dates to games
Force Unleashed sucks you derelict! or Mount and Blade memorial- Have an inexplicable obsession with a fairly bad game
Blogist- Have your blogs featured multiple times on the BSHAF or Friday Bomb Drop
Pariah was a terrible game- Awarded to the borderline trolls and community outcasts
Kush would approve- Take a picture of your bottom-right chin and use it as your avatar
Literacy is for losers- u neads 2 lern too speel and grammmer plz
READ THE OP!-Start a thread with a fantastically detailed original post
Provide resources to or otherwise support any organization(s) designated by the United States government as a foreign terrorist organization under section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act- Read the GiantBomb Terms and Conditions

Also, mine is just better. No offense.

We should start a mega list of all the suggestions so that when they focusing on the Achievement/Trophy system, they don't have to read through ever post on every page.

They're really making an achievement system for the site though? Cool
