For those who don't know,
Many computer and console games have things called "achievements." These are things like beating a certain level, dying in the game under specific circumstances, in other words "earning your stripes" in playing the game, or getting the full experience of everything the game has to offer. Essentially a game specific version of being told "you know you're a true _____ when you've had _____ happen." Usually it has a clever or snarky title like
"Cooking the books" :
Defeat all enemies in the library level using only the flamethrower.
