    Oh, also, you need much cooler friends...this guy sounds like a tool

      If you complete Silver Sufer for the original NES then you've beat the living daylights out of that game.

        I use the word beat. Not as an a-hole, but in general. But it's different things. I consider my two greatest gaming achivements to be:

        "Beating" the original Halo on Legednary on my own.

        "Finishing" a Milwaukee Brewers season in my dynasty in MVP 05 or 06 (whatever was last) at a .500 record. It may not sound like much, but it was the first baseball game in which I fully completed a season without simming it all (I simmed every other game in this one) and that team couldn't hit and had no bullpen.

            well when i was 10 years old and I beat mike tyson for the first time (after about 600 attempts" I beat the game. thinking about this also makes me realize i havent really been challenged on that level in quite a while by a game

              Games aren't as difficult as they were in the past.

              The creation of the save feature and lack of platforming has pretty much been the reason for this.
