Another Reason NOT to get L4D2

For those of you that have played Half Life Episode 2 and got that ridiculous, time consuming, irritating, frustrating acchievement to carry the gnome, you will be delighted to see this picture.

First person to spot it gets a cookie:

yea, you got it.

Because you didn't do it, let me explain: For the acchievement you had to carry a gnome from the very start of the game and put it in a space ship at the very end. This may sound fairly easy, but when you have to try to find a safe place for it every couple of minutes while you fight an enemy, when you have to remember where you put it, when you have to drive with it in a car and it can slide through legs and seats and everything and it clides about at the tinyest movement, so you have to constantly stop-start with it, when you have to get it with tiny moments to spare otherwise you lose it, when you have to fight a Combine Gunship with it, it grinds at you quite a bit, it is the most pissy and irritating acchievement anyone ever came up with

lol, it makes you want to play when you find out about it, but after 30 minutes at most of doing it, or up to when you hop in the car, it gets really really annoying, funny, but really pissy

I have never completed ep2 for 2 reasons:

1. I have ended up loseing my save for one reason or another

2. Every time I have kept my save I was doing that acchievement and got so pissed off I think if I had a hard copy of the game it would have been flung like a frisbee and embedded in the wall

Reason I never do the achievement of any game.

Though I never saw such a feature to do it....otherwise I would have found some duck tape and problem solved.

I mean lets face it....when the world is at war...duck tape solves all issues from a gunshot wound to a slippery gnome.
