Lol, this sounds like a lot of my friends on Xbox. I only achievement whore when I first get a game, I try to get a decent Gamerscore on it.
I was thinking it was the other one. I lol'd though. Achievement whoring is stupid, it gets you literally nothing. The only time I have 'Achievement whored' was on Fallout 3 when I was doing the side quests because I wanted to fully complete the game not for an increase to the number besides my Gtag.
"real life" achievements stopped being funny about 5 years ago
a video like this is done about once every other month
I remember when I lost this versus match in L4D2 because the guy in the rear of our group decided to get that strong man achievement by breaking the bell, calling the horde to me in the front, where I got overrun, then stomped to death by a tank that I was trying to get away from.
I like how their guns don't have barrels.

You what?
That dude had an AK74U which has a shorter barrel than the normal AK and the other guy had an MP5k which also has a fairly short barrel.

Actually I think it's good that attention is brought to the issue, because potentially it could ruin gaming.

I used to achievement whore, but then i got a new computer.
When I first got my 360 I achievement whored on halo 3. But now I just don't give a shit, If I get an achievement I get one.
Ending was great!
The only game I can recall whoring on was FO3 for me.
Sounds like all my friends

They removed the barrels of the guns with a saw. So you can't see that they all had orange tips beforehand.
And that is not an mp5k. Also, none of them had an ak74u.
I'm not sure if I'm considered an achievement whore in L4D2. I check what achievements I don't have and if I get the opportunity to get it, I will. Like, I still need the achievement where you melee 18 zombies with the golf lub, so if I see the golf club, I'll go get it and continue the game normally.

Like someone said before. Hitting the bell on the strength test, and making the horde come out and rape you.
the worst thing is when online players are like "I want to get this achievement, so let our team win 2 more times".
I achievement whore'd a couple games, but it's not like every game I play is for just that purpose.
Gun, Left 4 Dead and LEGO Indiana Jones were easy, therefore more addicting to me.
If I can't beat something the first 50 times I try, I just get too damn frustrated and give up.
Example: GRAW 1 or 2 expects us to do this for 40G. "Reach the highest online ranking worldwide"
no thank you microsoft, no thank you.
Achievements aren't required to complete you know. They're not gameplay milestones, they are badges of... well, achievement that you can wear with pride. Which is why is annoys me whenever there's an achievement for every chapter of a game for example, or even completing it. Playing the game isn't a fucking achievement, completing the game isn't even an achievement. It's passing grade, not A+. Maybe on the hardest, most anally violating difficulty setting it's an achievement. Maybe.
It also annoys me when achievements are whored, they lose their meaning. Take L4D, "man vs tank" is fucking impressive if you're the last guy left, and the only thing standing between you and the safehouse is a tank. On expert. But anyone can just get it by playing the easiest difficulty and going in with a molotov and an autoshotgun and ask their mates to let him get the achievement. In fact, a good achievement can't be whored.

The xbox360 isn't even five years old so how are ""real life" achievements" 5 years old?
