What is your greatest gaming achievement?

Just finishing a game for me is an accomplishment these days. As a kid, I went through Zelda, Zelda II, Super Mario Bros. 2 (I can't remember if I beat Mario 3), Metroid, Rygar, Bionic Commando and the likes (though I never could beat Blaster Master). But these days, Twilight Princess, Gears of War 2, Call of Duty 4 and a bunch of other games are just sitting there collecting dust. I beat GTA IV so I guess that's an accomplishment. Beating Halo 3 on legendary in two days would mean something if I wasn't playing four-player co-up.
 
Beating Freebird on expert was pretty awesome, but those are mad skills you have there. I can't do the tapping for the beginning of TtFaF.
It's probably easier than you think. The most important thing is to make sure your lag offsets are correct. For slower stuff you don't notice as much. Aside from that a couple of hours building up the speed to do it in practice mode and you're set. The worst part for me was the elbow strum (there's no way I could do a normal strum and get my hand over without losing it).
On a related note, beating "Won't Get Fooled Again" on Expert Drums was awesome on Rock Band. It's such a long song that once I got to the line "Meet the new Boss" I was just in the zone.
My gimpy wrist likes to start hurting about 2 minutes into any reasonably difficult song, between that and the brain melting foot pedal, I don't think I ever made it all the way through expert Rock Band drums, sadly.

Erm, that's right at the end. :)

I know, once I hit those lyrics it's all down hill difficulty-wise, so once I get passed the drum solo, it's just victory lap time. I guess by "in the zone" I mean high off of adrenaline.
