    Achievements are extra challenges added into video games that sometimes carry a point value or unlock bonus material, and are sometimes solely for bragging rights.

    I've noticed that there's a bunch of new achievement stats available on Giant Bomb user profiles. For example, here's mine: http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/peewi/games/   
     
    Unfortunately it appears that most of these stats are only gathered for Live and not for Steam.

    I am being juxtaposed to Jeff. This will not end well...
     
    EDIT - Hey, it is Vinny today!! I guess they will change it every day? That is cool.

    Yeah, it's really cool.  I hope they make more of the achievement stat. stuff and maybe make it easier to compare your stats with another user.

    We're hoping STEAM will add timestamps to their achievement data. At the moment we can't calculate stats for them due to this.

    @SuperMooseman: Really? Awesome. I am actually ahead of Vinny in Gamerscore (not by much) but I am far, far behind Ryan and Jeff.

    Is that comparison graph tracking number of achievements by day?

    I most certainly do not. That graph shows number of seesions, not session length.

    A while ago a Valve guy posted on the Steam forums that timestamps on achievements would be coming. He didn't say anything about when, though.

    Hey, Snide...I'm loving the new achievements stats, but there's one thing that I'm kind of missing about it all:  the actual number of rare, uncommon, and common achievements that I have.  Percentage numbers on a pie chart are cool, but it was nice knowing that I had 49 rare achievements or 700 common achievements.  I'm assuming this is all still, as always, work in progress types of things.  Nonetheless, I keep looking at my achievements page just wishing I could see some of the info that we used to have on there.  Maybe it's in there somewhere and I just haven't looked around too much at the update.

    19 hour sessions for SFIV are pretty ridiculous!  My longest are 8-9 hours, and that's for Fallout and Oblivion..  And even then I tend to leave it on when I go out to eat or walk my dog.  But these are cool new features :)
