My 2D Serious Sam fan game has been posted on the official Serious Sam facebook page. The accompanied youtube video got like... 100 views on that day :P
Defeating Alduin, and bringing peace and safety to all of Tamriel. Felt pretty damn good, until some fucking guard in Whiterun sarcastically said "Let me guess. . .someone stole your sweetroll."

Won a best-in-state gold medal in piano performance, had one of my musical compositions performed at a concert and broadcast over the radio, several recitals where I got to be the show closer (they're typically arranged from least to most technically challenging music), as well as having my own hour and a half long senior recital. That's about it.

Some years back when I played Tekkit, it was this big modpack for Minecraft, now very outdated, I built this huge base I called 'The Plague Corporation'. It was basically just bunch of automated machines controlled by a huge computer system. I made a post about it on the Technic forums and people really loved it. The mods even made a post to the main page about it, saying "Hey guys, this thing is awesome." For some reason, I made a stupid video of it where I just fly around the base with music playing.
I don't know, but I hope I haven't used up.
I made it past the preliminaries of one of the toughest, most prestigious local quiz contests when I was in 7th grade. I was the toast of the school for days, and because it was such a big deal, I went to Sri Lanka and participated in the quiz in the surroundings of a 5-star hotel. I wanted to win it, but I was just barely edged out in the semis. Pity, that, but my parents were so proud of me for practically winning an all expenses paid vacation that lasted nearly a month. That said, I even got out of writing the finals for that year because I was participating.
there's a photo of me in this newspaper when I was five smashing a car up with a rubber mallet :v: and there's going to be another photo of me in the newspaper this Wednesday for some street fashion thing

Whenever people ask what my name is, I always give them fake pseudonyms like 'Paul', 'Arnold', 'John Dreyer', et cetera, so nobody really knows who I am But for some reason, I don't why, every kid in the local elementary school seem to recognize me, and they all think my name is Arnold
I get stared at a lot when I'm out in the public. I guess I look like some finnish celebrity or something? I don't really care about finnish celebrities though, thus I have no idea. Or I'm just simply so ugly people have to double-take. Yeah, I think that's it. I also have a youtube-video about Teräsbetonis Eurovision song when it won and got nominated in Finland. Pretty much every single news site about Eurovision linked to it and it reached some youtube-celebrity amounts of views very quickly.
In a handball competition my team was in the finals and the score was 5 - 5, there was 4 seconds left and i scored from the middle of the field and won us the match. also I'm the first demoman that gets slain in this clip [video=youtube;a02O5Orv1Vg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a02O5Orv1Vg[/video]
I was in the local news when I was a child for putting a box over my head and falling on a glass bottle. This raised awareness and drew concern to the dangers of boxes for about half a week.
I just won the Finnish-British Society's writing competition. The first prize is 500€ for a trip to the UK. so basically it's like my birthday, a lot of facebook notifications and congratulation messages
I made a little Gmod mass physics video on my old laptop way back. Suddenly PC Gamer featured it: [url]http://www.pcgamer.com/2010/11/30/epic-bangs-5-of-garrys-mods-most-ridiculous-explosions/[/url] Mine is #4 on that list. This earned me around 100K views, it's hovering at 124K today. .. Well, that was the first time. Then I made this: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgLzrTPkdgI[/media] It got featured pretty much everywhere. Hovering at 1.1 million views today :v:
Participated in the Dota 2 International five years in a row. Also top 10 spot on global Bulletstorm echoes leaderboard back in the day.

[QUOTE=TheDrunkenOne;44248847]When the summer update for TF2 hit and I got an email saying my shit got accepted, and I got tons of comments from people. It felt nice.[/QUOTE] Are you rich now ? Anyway, heres mine : I saw some random kids on Rust getting aimed at with a gun by some other guy that acted like he was super "cool". Seeing the poor fella did nothing, i shot the "bully" in the face and i was this kid new Super Hero. I feel famous now.
Wrote a song with two of my friends for my school's musical this year, it turned out pretty well. It's on iTunes and Spotify, track number 7: [url]https://play.spotify.com/album/5YszbsOfffpX4GEVHlCNou[/url] The whole thing is produced by the pupils, recording and all. Other than that, I've performed a few times, and I'm going to New York and Washington DC with my school's Big Band in just over ten days. Played a role in Tivoli's version of Oliver Twist back in 2007 as well. Haven't done anything not low-key, though.
I was on ABC Good Game back in 2011 I was talk of the school for a good 2 weeks after it
When I went on a trip to California, I met Jorma and Akiva from The Lonely Island at Apple Headquarters.
Last semester, I was about to switch to a school in my own hometown. I was running part-time on Mondays and Tuesday, slowly building up. After a few weeks, the Sanyo PLC-XE40 projector in the classroom where I was started acting up. I usually feel the urge to interfere with technical problems out of interest, and to learn from it. So basically, I looked up the model of that projector, asked on a few forums and the following turned out: Somehow somebody pressed the Image + Menu button for two seconds, changing the channel of the remote control, therefore the IT guy thought the main board in the unit itself was faulty because it wouldn't respond to commands from the remote control. I honestly laughed my ass off when I heard the cooling fans spin up and saw it project the SANYO logo on the wall. Apparently I saved this school like 3000 euros for a replacement touch display.

I helped organize and set up the first (and only) california FP meet up a few years ago. There was only ten of us, but it felt really good to get together and have a beach bonfire for a few hours to shoot the shit about facepunch.
that one time my pun in an SH thread got 60 zings.
Been on the local news a bit, one on a major news station cause of my school doing something pretty major, it was a long time ago and I forgot about it, but I believe I talked on it. Second was a while ago when I participated in marching during Veterans Day with my high school. Nothing else other than that.
