I once watched almost half of a Superbowl, and lived for almost three consecutive minutes in BF2.

What do I win?

My CONSTANT winning at the 99x Cyberfest Quake II practice rounds prompted them to change the "written in stone" rules at the last second (no more unlimited ammo).

Fastest time in the world completing Donkey Kong Country with 101% for Nintendo Power but they didn't publish me (52 minutes compared to the published fastest time of 1 hour, 6 minutes). They probably didn't like my pictures.

Beat Tenacious D and KillJoyX several times in Killer Instinct on X-Band (both world's top-rated player at different times).

Was the first person to ask Tim Willets or id Software what format Doom 3 would be released on (very curious because MGS2 was the only mainsteam DVD PC game back then). Answer? He hadn't even thought about it but there was no way it was going to fit on one CD (duh) and it was probably Activision's call.

Played what was probably the first public Killer Instinct beta match on X-BAND against NOAKITEAM1 (probably one of the Treehouse guys at Nintendo of America).

Would have won store champion at Blockbuster Video if my twin brother didn't get a higher score on his last run. !$#!~~!

I think I prompted Samson to make the Action Replay loader for the Gamecube hack after Anaconda proved you didn't need a Viper BIOS chip to boot DVD-Rs. I mentioned on the IRC channel that a "custom code" on the memory card and an Action Replay could be used to execute unauthorized software in memory. I think this was even before Independence exploit on PS2.

I broke the news to the world about the Wal-Mart Gamecube Black Friday bundle and price back in 2003 and was the first scener with a copy of Zelda Collector's Edition because it was included and unreleased (it was my receipt scan on every deal site). I couldn't dump it because no one would share their private GCN dumping utilities back then.

My repaired Wii still had some internal Nintendo utility on the flash that the sceners extracted from my NAND backup.

CAL-M in CSS when I was 16. Firmly believe I was the best CSS rifler ever, just inconsistent/nervous at times.

I once went 70-2 on Firing Range (Black Ops) and was subsequently banned from the server for the reason "Hacking piece of shit. GTFO"

*Is confused*

I wasn't referring to any specific awards that I got, if that's what you're talking about. Maybe I'm in the wrong thread, if this is just for awards.

No, I'm interested in quantitative rankings, actually.

2009 state road-racing champion in my bracket as a road cyclist (the only year I raced road). It was a team win. I was in a 3-man break with a teammate and a lone wolf, and we had additional teammates to disrupt the chase back in the pack. We held the chase off for over 20 miles. My teammate rode himself into the ground and had to stop for a leg cramp with about 3km to go, so then it was me and the unattached rider. It came down to a very close and very fair sprint for the finish line:

My avatar notwithstanding, I'm not a great sprinter, and would've lost if we'd had to go another 50 meters.

I also set 4 course records in 4 years in the informal Midnight Century, a road-&-gravel nighttime enduro. This year I'd like to lop another 1/2 hour off my CR, so I'm on my training program already.

Locally, I'm known more for XC mountain-bike racing, and won the local series a couple years. I shot video one year, which was pretty popular. Example:

I was a very accomplished tuba player in high school. Still kind of miss it, TBH.

when i was young i won a genesis for getting a high score in bubsy.

in more recent years i've played 2nd and 3rd in local ssf4 tourneys but never won one. went to evo and went 3-2 in my pool and lost to Air (canada's top ryu). so didn't get anywhere there lol.

sports wise i play in a rec football league every spring and fall, and we won the championship 2 seasons ago.
