1. Beating FFVII. To most it might not seem like a lot. But I started playing it during the March Break of grade 8, right after I moved to a new neighborhood. I knew no one, and I'd just gotten my playstation, so I didn't have a memory card. The game was a rental and I only had it for that one week, and I knew I had to beat it. There were a couple close calls, my parents would occasionally come rushing into the room to see who their child was threatening to skullf**k if they killed his last remaining character. But when Sephiroth finally hit the ground after the omnislash scene, I felt like I could do anything.

2. Beating Ninja Gaiden for xbox on hard. If there was ever a game that I could blame any of the mental anguish in my life on, this would have been it. For anyone who's played it, you know what I'm talking about. In most games, you will die a few times. In this game, if you haven't died within the past 20 minutes, theres a good chance you're going inthe wrong direction. I finished the game on normal and thought it a good idea to try it in hard.... Something compelled me to finish, god knows what. However, when I finally beat it, I felt that I could die having accomplished something in my life.... until i realized that it had all been a waste of time patience, and anything resembling a normal blood pressure.

3. Being able to do Legend of Maxx on heavy in DDR - while smoking.

4. Beating Through the Fire and Flames on hard in GH3. I never could get the intro for expert, which still pisses me off.

5. Currently: Being the best among my buddies at Mariokart Double Dash. I haven't been beaten in any level for at least a year now, and its truly inspiring seeing my best friends curse like irish sailors when I dodge a blue shell.
