I have a confession to make.
For years I have belittled the need to get achievments. Frankly, they add nothing to the game except bragging right. Unless they modify the game in some way (unlock new levels, add new guns, etc) it's just an ego inducing waste of time.
However, as a lark, I decided to launch the Garden Gnome into space for Half Life 2.
I wasted a
ing hour yesterday trying to drive that stupid
ing little gnome in an open cab muscle car while being shot at and bombed by a helecopter I can't kill. Every little bump and turn knocks the damn gnome out of the god damn car. I think I'm almost at the end of the run, and I can't get by the last
ing section. It's pissed me off so much that it's ruining my enjoyment of the game. repeating the same section again, and again, and again.
But now I've invested so much wasted time, It feels like I would be a coward to just give up.
God help me, what have I become!?!?!
