 I noticed Raptr has the same problem with  Half-Life 2.
I also remember immediately after I learned HL2 got Achievements, I checked its Steam page, and something wasn't quite right.
I think it was the missing descriptions; in other words the same 4 Achievements.
It was fixed a day or two after.
Giant Bomb had probably already read that info, and was basically a little bit too quick (and so was Raptr).
I'm sure it can still be fixed.

@Indigo:  Thanks for the compliment I guess. :)
I only found the differences because I was specifically looking for them after noticing the apostrophes around RLD, which are relatively obvious in the list.

So... Giant Bomb, please fix these for great justice!

The HL2 Achievements aren't perfectly copied.
Most obviously, one copy of the Achievement has a description, the other does not.
Also there are subtle spelling differences:

 "What cat?" vs "What Cat?"
"Anchor's Aweigh!" vs "Anchors Aweigh!"
"Two Points" vs "2 Points!"
"Radiation Levels Detected" vs "'Radiation Levels Detected'"

It's currently impossible  to S-rank HL2.
I unlocked all 33 Achievements a while ago, but Giant Bomb seems to think there are 37, as it counts some double.
The ones that are double are the only ones with a description in one copy, and they also all have two spelling variations:

 "What cat?" vs "What Cat?"
"Anchor's Aweigh!" vs "Anchors Aweigh!"
"Two Points" vs "2 Points!"
"Radiation Levels Detected" vs "'Radiation Levels Detected'"
 
I see there is a thread about it already:

It would be pretty cool being at E3 in person, but I'll read and watch stuff online as a good alternative.

I found out about this game not that long ago, just found the official thread, and notice there are 19 pages to read...
Almost 3 in the morning here; I'll get some sleep first.
Photoshop threads (which is what this looks like) can be fun.

You probably need to be from the US to understand this whole Lincoln thing properly. 
I suppose I understand it a lot better than the Chuck Norris thing, which I'm only comparing now because I don't know any better.
Now I understand this is concept art for a potential game?
OK, I'll follow its development then... :)

I was convinced there was going to be a new Xbox 360 SKU, likely combined with Natal somehow, so I figured my original 20 GB one dying would be a good time to upgrade.
Of course it died a while ago now, so I had it repaired (rather exchanged) instead.
I'd like a quieter box, but now I think I should wait until a better moment again. :\
I wish I could've got a free one like all the people in the audience instead. :)
