Madden NFL Arcade Achievements are funny, disturbing

by Richard Mitchell { Nov 4th 2009 at 7:15PM }

Everyone loves Achievements. That's a fact. As such, we really appreciate it when developers put some thought into their Achievements. While the 'cheevos for Madden NFL Arcade -- as unearthed by MGC -- are fairly standard in their execution, the names are all pretty amusing. We're particularly fond of "Like a Boss," likely named for the (incredibly NSFW) song of the same name. One that we're not so fond of is "2 Points 1 Win," making Madden NFL Arcade the second game to riff on an abhorrent internet meme that we refuse to explain (don't investigate if you value your sanity). Hit the source link for the full Achievement list.

Joystiq, Like A Boss is originally by Slim Thug. The Lonely Island version is a parody. Please get your facts straight.

Tell you the truth, I've never heard of the original. That said, EA *could* be referring to either one :P
