Steam Achievements

We love Achievements! No, we’re not outright whores, maybe just Achievement Nymphomaniacs. And we love it so much that we want to see the system implemented in games across all platforms, which at least Steam seems be doing for the PC. With the achievement system in place for Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Portal and Team Fortress 2, Valve has let it slip at the official forums that more achievements are on their way for other games in the Source catalog as well. So for all those PC owners raring to go at the One Free Bullet achievement, you may be able to do just that soon enough.

Valve’s Erik Johnson has said that Steam users should expect to see a whole lot of interestingly difficult achievements roll out across Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode One, Counter-Strike: Source and Day of Defeat: Source soon enough, with some of the multiplayer achievements rolling out even before the end of the year.

And oh, in case you are wondering about that pic above, yes, I am still left with one annoying achievement in Episode Two - the goddamn grub squishing one. I somehow always manage to miss one grub, and yes, I got the one at the end near the mine exit. Damn grubs!

    And after posting that, I finally cleared the damn thing, bringing the EP2 achievement list to 100%!

    But it was a close call though, just before the end of the “This Vortal Coil” level, after escaping the Antlion Guardian and falling down in to the shaft where I have to activate the lift for the Vort, I walked near the dead guy with medkit and the game crashed.

    Tried it a hundred times and it still crashed! Finally, I shot the web from a distance, faced the wall to the right, crouched and strafed left, looking down at the ground all the time until I entered the next room. If someone has a problem with the same thing, let them know this could help.
