As I have been noticing on the boards, I think I'm in the minority that actually uses the achievement system the way its supposed to.   I really only have two complaints about the achievement system though.   Some achievements don't have any sense of… well achieving anything since people game the system, and the people who don't want to be affected in any way by it (follows and reviews) have no choice.

5th Set: Ducks in a row

Oh boy, this caused a lot of controversy amongst the more popular members if they didn't turn off their notification options.   Other than that though the intended use of this achievement was basically as a gauge for popularity.   Like most achievements in the system it was gamed.   A simple "Hey I'll follow you if follow me" thread ruins the fun for this set.   The way I went about the achievement is to find 25 interesting people and follow them.   As for me having followers?   That will come naturally, I hope.

6th Set: Famous Friends

A pretty easy for avid listeners of the podcast.   Only two people seem to elude people.   There is no excuse for missing the "hooded" fellow, in fact that was my guess for the most important man. The actual most important man is very much an obscure reference.   Good primer though for those people that don't already know these people.

7th Set: Game within a game

This one is only as hard as the games your trying to get the achievements in.    It does get the whole meta-game feel they were going for though.

8th Set: Generation Gap

Heh, this one gets easier the older you've been an avid gamer for.   Hence why the founding fathers achievement gave me trouble :P.   Pretty meh about this one though since some consoles were ignored for some achievements.   If you're a younger gamer though, this does give you the abridged version of console history pre 16-bit era.
