It just occurred to me how sad what I am doing is. I need the achievement for pushing mongo (pushing with your front foot) 5000 times, so taped up my controller so my skater is going in circles pushing mongo, and I'm just going to leave it like that all day until I hear that little achievement blip sound and get my measly 20 gamer points.
Skate 2
Game » consists of 10 releases. Released Jan 21, 2009
Skate 2 adds additional trick modifiers, a wide-open career mode, and a host of new multiplayer content to the original Skate formula.
I'm an achievement whore...
I got it playing the game, same with the moving shit achievement. I've got 745 points, just need to get around to playing ranked online.
"It's people like this that give achievements a bad name. I'm geussing this isn't a hard one to get so why not just play the damn game?"can't argue with the first part. If I can find a way to unlock a tedious achievement easier, I'll take it. just to clarify, yes it would be kind of hard because it only counts in career mode, which I already beat, and my stance was regular. to get the achievement (it was labeled as a secret achievement btw) I'd have to skate goofy... so instead of sitting there holding down the push button, I just taped it down. doesn't change the fact of how sad it is that I even care, but still, I'll justify it if I need to.
"That's pathetic...even when it comes to whoring."That's not pathetic.
"Kush said:Well in Forza 2 I couldn't be bothered to do anything as elaborate as that, I'd just hire AI drivers to play the game for me. At least your controller was hooked up to your game. (this was only one the endurance races though!)"That's pathetic...even when it comes to whoring."That's not pathetic."Rubber-banding your analog sticks on Gran Turismo 3 to drag on the wall in order to beat the endurance races that last for hours just for a shitload of in-game currency to collect all the cars...Now THAT is pathetic.-_- I.....don't know anyone PERSONALLY that has done that... like, seriously... okay, so I fucking cheated it, BUT IT WAS SOOOOOOO WORTH IT!!!So don't worry, Double. It's perfectly fine.
I hate achievements that require leaving the console on for long hours just to get a pesky achievement , I remember seeing such achievements in games like Dead Rising (5 -7 day survivor , 24 hours indoors man , outdoors man ) . it sucks
My Xbox is pissing me off lately,it keeps disconnecting from Live,it just said Skate 2 was unreadable,i checked the disc,nothing.And also,for some reason,my career save dissapeared,so i have to start a new career,and i had just gotten my first sponsor,which for those who haven't played Skate 2,is quite far in the game.So i've been playing alot of the Dawn of War 2 Beta,Left 4 Dead,and Counter Strike on my PC.
"Jedted said:Can't you just keep playing in career mode after you beat all the challenges? Or is the game not open ended?"It's people like this that give achievements a bad name.

My friend did something similar in Oblivion where he'd cast the same spell over and over by pressing RB while watching TV. He got to lvl 100 or whatever alteration.
