Finally bought my very own copy of Bioshock. I'll never go hungry again. TOMORROW: New special edition of Bioshock coming out. This just in: Awesome in ParadiseAlso, I changed my mind and will be buying Braid with the help of the free 400 points from Target.

Awesome Indeed. Although I doubt that will be one achievement I would be able to get. Speaking of impossible achievements: Holy Freaking Crap.I think I could get 10G out of that. Maaaybe 30G.

It's not too bad! The last four are all fairly typical occurrences, the fifth is unavoidable, and the sixth just takes practice. Depending on the difficulty, "Almost Perfect" may not be too hard to get. That's half the gamerscore right there!

 You've got to be crappin' me. The farthest I've been in any megaman game (sans Battle Network) is the Doc Robot stages in MM3. The possbility of me ever beating MM9 is slim to none. And, adding to that, you have to play the game with the 360 D-pad. Don't get me wrong, I love the 360 controller. But man is that thing a piece.

Now those are my kinda Achievements. I'd rather work for 200 points instead of getting awarded all of them just by beating the game.

So you like GH:3's achievements, I guess?
750k... the viral achievement thing...

If I recall correctly, eight of Guitar Hero 3's Achievements could be "achieved" by putting in a cheat code. You can get them before even playing your first song.
750k is quite difficult, according to Scorehero only 113 people have it on Through The Fire and Flames. But since it's only possible on Through The Fire and Flames, seeing a person with that Achievement says "Oh, that person is very good at Through The Fire And Flames" to me. It doesn't represent their talent at the game on the whole. (Note: The Achievement is also possible on Ernten Was Wir Säen, but you have to buy that one.)
And the viral Achievement was only difficult to get during the first week, when less than ten people had it. It's so widespread now that winning a match practically guarantees the Achievement to you. And it is so glitched that I've seen many instances of people losing matches but still getting Meet Your Maker.
So no, I didn't like GH3's Achievements.  To be fair, Guitar Hero 2 and Rock Band suffer from similar problems (although none as big as Guitar Hero 3's clearly glitched and untested Achievements). All of them have Achievements that involve simply progressing through the game and can be unlocked on any difficulty. They did have some Achievements that I could look at and tell how good someone is at the game (namely, if they completed/5 starred a career on Expert), but not enough.
Unless they're severely glitched, quite a few of of Mega Man 9's Achievements really do represent how good a player is at the game. Those are the kind I like.

I just got the Red Ring of Death.  EDIT: Uh, false alarm? is that possible? 5 minutes unplugged or so seemed to do the trick.

3 Red Rings isn't the symbol of a dead console. It's an error code when something fails when the system boots up, I believe. Not quite sure what it symbolizes, but it SHOULD do what happened to you: be able to go a few minutes and unplugs later. When they don't go away after this, then that would be the RRoD.
