Man leaves people stunned after completing hardest gaming achievement of all time

Gamers have been flooding to social media in awe after a man completed 'one of the most ridiculous game achievements'.

If, like me, after watching The Kissing Booth, you ran to your nearest arcade and quickly tried out as many games as possible, convinced it couldn't be that hard and you could live out your rom-com dreams, you'll have faced bitter disappointment.

Music-related games seem to be some more of the fun and light-hearted forms of gaming, but oh how wrong I was to think this.

And one YouTuber has kindly just completed the 'most ridiculous rhythm game achievements' so that we 'don't have to'.

Prepare for your jaw to drop.

YouTuber JForJack took to the platform on January 6 to reveal he 'attempted Rock Band's most infamous achievement'.

The achievement? The so-called 'Bladder of Steel Award'. The Bladder of what? I hear you say. Yes, the Bladder of Steel and there's a reason the challenge is named in such a strange way.

The Bladder of Steel Award is 'notorious for being the most sloggiest of all achievements in history' and 'one of the hardest achievements' too, according to Atrocious Game Play Wiki.

It gained it's rather gruesome name because it's 'a whole marathon of several hours of gameplay' - comprising of 'all of the songs at ONE sitting'.

Basically, you're strictly forbidden from pausing during the game or else you 'lose' - so no loo breaks, no matter how desperately you need to go.

And the songs which make up Rock Band's Endless Setlist Two - the game taking a similar format to Guitar Hero - take a whopping 'six hours and 15 minutes' to complete.

So, how did JForJack get on?

The YouTuber attempted the 'Bladder of Steel' challenge.

Well, in an eight-minute video posted to YouTube, the gamer explains there are 84 songs in the list you have to complete and he set himself the goal of completing the entire set list on expert level to unlock all achievements in one go.

He also opted for playing bass instead of guitar as he hadn't played the game 'in years' and 'couldn't remember any of the songs'.

Unfortunately, on the YouTuber's first attempt, the Xbox decided to 'give up' on the fourth song and 'froze,' so JForJack grabbed his spare X-Box 360 and went again.

He says he 'settled in nicely' and was actually 'pleasantly surprised' by how many songs he knew quite well.

The question is, did he complete the challenge?

JForJack managed to complete the 'infamous' achievement.

Well, despite some 'technical issues' which he had to fix without pausing the game, he managed to 'jam out' and get through every single song and the whopping six hours plus of gameplay.

However, his controller malfunctioned along the way and he ultimately did pause the game, meaning he didn't technically complete the Bladder of Steel achievement.

So, the next day, he went in for another attempt, playing on medium level.

"I struggled with feeling tired early in the run," he noted.

Thankfully, he managed to 'plod' through hour after hour 'in constant fear of something breaking' and unlocked 'the most stupid achievement [he's] ever put [himself] through'.

And people have been flooding to the post in awe of his achievement and chiming in with their own experiences of trying to get it.

One YouTube user said: "You are an actual legend love ur guitar hero/rockband achievements vids. Keep it up jack."

"Great video man, you have to start a band at this point! Some of the rock band drum achievements are brutal… especially on the Green Day and Beatles games," another added.

And a third resolved: "This was 100 percent the most harrowing trophy I'd ever gotten."
