Unlike simply trying to best yesterday’s high score in Peggle (or beat Mike in yet another game of Lexulous), real life comes with a nearly infinite number of achievements. Thankfully, most of them aren’t as tedious or expensive as farming rep for every last mount, or an ultra-rare pet drop.
Forthwith, an almost certainly incomplete list of achievements that have gotten us out of our computer chairs and away from our desks.
The perverts in the audience may recognize the format here. This is a family site, people. Even my mind is staying out of the gutter here.
