Upon witnessing that appear in the bottom right of my screen in Team Fortress 2 I was a happy man, but hunt for the achievement which had lasted all of five minutes was finally at an end. I had become a holder of the OMGWTFBBQ achievement, and I am proud to say that I did it legitimately.

After reading Tom Francis’ bloggings on his quest to earn the OMGWTFBBQ achievement and Chris Livingston’s take on it I decided to go out and focus on getting it myself.

I informed my comrades on the Rock, Paper, Shotgun Steam Group chat of my goal and recieved numerous ‘good luck’ messages. Well maybe not quite, but I was given various hints about strategy and whatnot.

I jumped onto the PC Gamer Team Fortress 2 server, went through two rounds on some map that I have already forgotten the name of, then we got onto cp_Well and map which I have enjoyed immensely in the past few weeks. I went to the other side of the tracks and saw two possible victims, a Heavy who was my initial target and a Soldier who was running in my direction. I whipped out my Shotgun, hit G and hoped for the best.

I held my breath as my Pyro went through the motions of the Haduoken and suddenly there it was my achievement, I had done it. OMGWTFBBQ, perhaps one of the most ingenious acheivements Valve have put in their games, just behind the Gnome in Episode 2 was mine. A great day in the land of Team Fortress 2.
