Even at 1280x1024, the achievement notification takes up roughly 2 square inches of the screen. If that much.
more ideas (and a re-railing of the topic)
cupcake finish black mesa on easy
Black Forest cake finish black mesa on medium
Wedding cake supreme finish black mesa on Hard
OMFG kill yourself WITHOUT the HEV suit
OMGWTF Die by radiation exposure in the test Chamber (at least possible in HL1 [enter basin when powered up])
facepalm get killed by the vortigaunt that (physically) appears in the test chamber if you pull the sample out of the anti-mass spectrometer as the resonance cascade event occurs [this is completely possible in HL1]
Hot foot Burn to death
cold shoulder freeze to death
pancake death get crushed to death
fail get one death-based acheivement
Epic Fail get all 6 death-based acheivements.
WTF! is this thread STILL going??? complete with naff ‘suggestions’, sigh. suppose I’ll shine a light of at the very least seriousness on this thread… here are mine
Silent and deadly: kill 30 enemies with crossbow headshots
POW!: kill 3 enemies at once with a single explosive
Ironic punishment: kill a rifle armed marine with with a m4, a shotgun armed marine with a shotgun etc.
precision elimination: get 10 headshots
Invulnerable: kill 4 black-ops without taking ANY damage…
point and blank-Kill 50% of all enemies you encounter with the shotgun.
wtf just happen’d?-Get killed while you are in the head of the Nihilanth.
OMG what’s fucking happening?-Same as above but twice.
Squish!-Kill 5 enemies by crushing them(enviromental kills)
Dead-Zombie. 'Nuff said.
I know these suck but I’m bored as fuck.
Raminator- kill an enemy by hitting them with the tram
or
Raminator- kill everything in the game with your BARE FUCKING HANDS
Multiplayer achievements based on TF2 quotes
“ka-BOOM!” Kill twenty other players with grenades
“Cry some more!” kill 120 other players with the SMG
“There goes your head, wanker!” head shot ten other players
“MAGGOTS!” kill fifty other players with the RPG
“SENTRY DOWN!” kill one hundred other players with the crowbar
“Hmm hmm!” kill one hundred and sixty other players with the shotgun (I ran outta ideas for the pyro)
“you got blood on my suit.” kill ninety other players with the pistol.
I had a sudden urge to make TF2 based achievements after seeing the pic in mr. shadow’s signature.
Raminator kill every enemy in the game (that includes non-game sensitive barneys and scientists)
What are you playing at, 640x480?
I think we already skipped that off-topic prattling about screen resolutions and achievement screen space a half a page ago.
I have a hat, your argument is invalid.
Actual size (while windowed 
).
Now I just need to figure out how to have multiple WON-HL windows open at the same time and I can toggle between 15 instances all in plain sight…
Erm, pardon me, but what achievement “big chunkiness” are you talking about? Do the “icons” of achievements get displayed as well? because so far I only saw textual announcements, and those were small.
yeah, they shouldn’t take up so much space as to impede gameplay.
If we utilize the achievement system that uses the friends-style interface with pop-up boxes and whatnot; the graphics, size of the box, etcetera, won’t be changed…since I believe that is integrated into the Steam interface and is not mod specific. I don’t write code though, so I could be very wrong on this.
Bangkok - Whack Gonarch’s balls with the crowbar
LOL XD
It’s Krung Threp, foreigner.
Haha, “Krung Threp” doesn’t seem to lend itself well to puns… Anyway,
10,000 Leagues - Dive to the bottom of the river in Surface Tension.
William Tell - Shoot a headcrab off a zombie with the crossbow.
Soft Shell, Fried - Incinerate the Gonarch with the gluon gun.
Falcon Punch!! - Cook a grenade until the timer runs out, then detonate it in a Marine’s face.
Krung Threp - Learn Thai, then hit Gonarch’s balls with the crowbar.
edit: by the way, I just opened half-life for 30 seconds to see if “Falcon Punch!!” really works. (1) It does work, (2) it really is like an exploding punch, and (3) it is incredibly satisfying. Oh yeah, and you need to have lots of health and armor to survive.
I might just try that next time I load up Half-Life.
Right here goes, I’m ready for a flaming. BUt not too hard! :’(
Taking Drugs and each others lives - Dispose of a soldier within ten seconds of receiving health.
