never had a facebook account but how are achievements social networking? does a person need to compete against someone else to achieve anything. personally steam achievements are grand to me as they add another level to gaming and no i don't own a console either. they're akin to quests and for many of you older gamers they are really no different than quest layouts in older games as they don't need voice acting or cutscenes but rather "things" to try and accomplish and many time they are just humourous deeds to try and do in a game that actually expand your gaming palette as it may be a task or skill you never even thought about without doing it. since game manuals are a lost cause even when they are in boxed game they suck it can be coupled within the game as well. the latest stalker game for example has "achievements", though not in steam, that actually give you bonuses that can accent and customize the gameplay experience even further.
