I probably have the lowest achievement score amount out of all of my friends....and i'm fine with that. I enjoy the idea of achievements and i feel happy when i get one (by accident....i usually dont say "hey! today i'm going to get this achievement"). Plus it is kind of cool to be the only one out of all your friends to have a certain achievement that no one else has. But going out of your way just to get a number is stupid, especially if that game is boring (or if you are playing on the easiest difficulty).

All in all achievements bring out the worst and the best of people.
