Geoff's penance People keep asking what Achievement I should pin on Geoff now that he has lost the Call of Duty achievement race. There are lots of suggestions for impossible achievements, like "win five straight NBA 2k6 games online" (when no one plays online anymore). I think that defeats the purpose. I am leaning heavily towards either Dead Rising's Seven Day Survivor Achievement which requires at least 14 continuous hours of gameplay with no saves or Half Life 2's "Little Rocket Man" which makes you take a garden gnome from the first two minutes of the game all the way through until the end. Both are pretty funny. I think in the end it will be the Dead Rising one simply because I love that game so much and I can't believe he did not finish it. Plus, I have the achievement so I know it's not impossible.
During the contest, I floated the idea of an alternate "real life achievement" the loser could do instead of an Xbox one. Something like the "Tasty Dragon", where you have to eat an entire spoonful of cinnamon. Everyone seemed to like that, so I want to come up with something suitable for him. Geoff is a very picky eater and both Griffon and I have suffered for years when having meals with him. I've worked with him for about ten years now and it's a huge chore to find somewhere he can tolerate the food. So I think I will see if he wants to go out to a dinner during which anything Griffon orders for him, he has to eat. Nothing gross, just a normal meal from someplace that isn't (as Griffon puts it) "Pizza or Italian food for the millionth time". When I told her the idea for the real life achievement, I think she actually start cheering for me in the contest.

Watch
Or, for the real life achievement, have him break out the Super Nintendo and beat Super Ghouls N` Ghosts.
7 Day Survivor is probably the best one though. I know I gave up on the 5 Day Survivor.
Real life achievement, make him eat a bag of onions.
But totally make geoff suffer... It's funnier that way.

I have a friend who's probably even pickier than Geoff... she really only eats pepperoni pizza, nothing else. It's a nightmare trying to get her to eat anything.
Although that 14 hour marathon seems very very tempting, especially if he isn't allowed to play anything else until it's accomplished.
P.S. I thought about the whole 2K6 thing, and in retrospect it's a HORRIBLE idea. Reason being since no one plays it, why can't he just buy another copy (get it discounted) and get someone to play him on-line until he reaches whatever the achievement is? It's basically cheating the system.
(And tasty, too.)
Continue the list with more condiments. We did this to our friend. It's fun watching them fail.
Oh and by the way, you don't have to use that for the meal plan: you can use this anytime!!!
shhhh.
Honestly...
cause no matter how you look at it... video games are fun...
man its really annoying
Talk about defeating the purpose.
