And about dying stupidly- best achivments system I've seen so far is the one in Amorphous + online game. There was about 120 of them in game (and I've got more than 80 huh-huh!), and when some of them required great those of skill from you, other, well, were awarded for terrible luck:P. And it was very fun indeed.

Well, I guess we just have different tastes in achievements...

I edited my post above to simplify a bit.

I agree with you in part. True achievements should represent something that required planning and skill to accomplish.
On the other i enjoy it when some strange stuff happen even if it was completely luck / stupid play related. Think of them as "I went to Hell and all I got was this lousy T-shirt" tokens, they help you remember having fun playing the game.
I would like to receive a small token of when i got a Railgun and was shooting lines of monsters. There's no skill involved there, but it's fun. 5 sucessive cleaves on the Mortuary, changing to your BFG because there were monsters everywhere, also fun. A stupid death which makes you want bash your head in the keyboard is also fun in its own way
Gargulec:
Indeed.
Next pack of ideas (hey, I like it!)
-Clean style- kill all monster on a Phobos Hell level without being hit ONCE
-Knock, knock- 'Open' a door with BFG
-Golden Bullet- kill a Cybbie with you last bullet
-Third World War Coming- carry two nukes at once
-He earned that!- fist an Arch-Vile to it's death
-Another brick in The Wall- clear the wall in less than 3:56 min
-Dead and Killed- clear a N! level of monsters AND corpses
-Brave- kill a Cybbie wearing no armor
-No peace in death- kill the same monster 3 times

*Hard, but a good achievement idea...
**An achievement for firing a BFG at a door... What's the point?
***Might be interesting, though most would just wait until Cybie was "almost dead" and drop all of their guns and ammo except for a loaded rocket launcher...
****Awards should mostly (I think) be something you can plan to get... This one relies too much on the RNG.
*****Hmm... OK...
*6: This one's borderline, but if it were up to me I wouldn't put it in as it relies on RNG giving you a "the air is really humid here" lever and would probably spawn more than one annoying thread with people asking how it's done...
*7: Take it or leave it...
*8: You mean killing a monster and then killing it twice more through a vile resurrecting it? You know, I actually like this one because it's an achievement that you can either plan for or could encounter incidentally while playing the game normally (chaingunners sometimes milk former captains for ammo in this way for example and killing a given captain three times would net the chaingunner this achievement quite by accident)... I'd fully support this one, assuming it isn't an absolute nightmare to code...
Blade:
Captain Trek, you should definitely play Amorphous+, or Achievement Unlocked.)
