Games have all sorts of goals/missions/mini-games/whathaveyou. There are the goals you have to complete to advance, the goals you can choose to complete for bonuses, the goals you do for bragging rights. And then there are the goals you make up for yourself.
Recently, I took to playing GTA:San Andreas again. One of the items you can have in the game is a camera, which lets you take snapshots of the in-game action and save them to a gallery. I make a point to try and carry a camera at all times, as it's useful as a telescope.
Now, the cops in this game are a bit... on edge. They tend to respond to any provocation with gunfire. So, as I was wandering around I took it upon myself, sheerly for my own amusment, to document the rampant police brutality in San Andreas.
For instance, when a cab driver bumped a cop's car, and the cop drug the cabbie into the street and murdered him, I got this terrific, dramatic shot of the cop standing over the cabbie's body, cars backed up behind them.
What goals have you taken up in a game solely for your own amusement/satisfaction?
