Pretty neat impossible badge-gets. I'm glad to see this thread is getting some attention again.
I've been shirking Kong for school more, though I have vowed to keep up with most new badges that are added. I say most because if Greg starts badging MMOs and **** again, I will get irritated and probably avoid any such badged game like the bubonic plague.
My oldest unearned badge is the 801-kill hard badge for Starfighter. D:
I know he dumped a couple hundred in Heroes of Gaia. I am assuming he put some into SS1, SS2 and Caesary -- and definitely Dream World, too.
MMO's suck with the fury because I just can't stand grind. It's even worse in SS2 because you can't really solo the game without spending a LOT of time on it. Even with friends, it takes forever.
I went for the badges on Dream World when they were first added... the game was decent at first, and I progressed reasonably far, though I was nowhere near the final hard badge by the time it got
a) boring, and
b) like an idle game.
The result: I stuck it out because I knew I'd probably forget about the game and/or get too annoyed to go back to it later on. I left the window open whenever I wandered off, and played until all possible options for getting moves (like buying the ****, I can't even remember anymore) were exhausted.
It was sure a relief to finish with that. I just checked: got the easy badge on January 27, medium a day later, first hard on February 4, and completed it on February 16 (birthday present for me I guess). That's a seriously long time. >_<
I only need 4 more impossible badges: Mardek chapter 3, Warlord: Heroes, Elona Shooter, and 99 Bricks (haven't given this one a serious attempt).
Zunderfury is going to be a huge pain in the ass. I'm going to have to dedicate an entire day to that when I feel like scalding myself through hell and back. And I'm probably going to have to prove my legitimacy if I do get that imp. badge...I think I can do it if I try hard enough.
Edit:
Impossible badge rampage. Next victim is vector run
