Some of these are just plain ridiculous. "Does it hurt when I do this?" will be the bane of my achievement hunt... or "Sawbones."

Big Pharma sounds hard too.

I had pondered adding that one to my list of nigh-impossible (for me, at least) ones. The reason I didn't is because it's possible to camp at a dispenser and just spam the hell out of chokepoints. Done for a long enough time at, say, point B of Gravelpit or the courtyard of 2fort and it's within reach.

So got a date yet?

From the article link posted

Robin Walker: The staggered release is more actually--that's how fast we can get things done. This [first release] needed a lot of work in the backend. We have persistent data storage on the Steam backend now for what items you've unlocked--your weapon inventory is going to show up on your Steam profile, all that kind of stuff. So there was a lot of backend work for this that we're not going to have to do as we go forward, so we envision the next ones being done a lot faster than this.

Emphasis mine.

Second Opinion: Ubercharge two teammates at once

I'm going to take that to mean Valve officially supports the idea of bouncing ubers between teammates and does not consider it an exploit (there was a conversation about this when they patched the ability to "save your uber" by switching from the medical gun to another weapon).

Big Pharma: Assist a heavy in killing thirty enemies where neither of you die

Autoclave: Assist in burning eight enemies with a single Ubercharge on a Pyro

Blunt Trauma: Assist in punching out four enemies with a single Ubercharge on a Heavy

Medical Breakthrough: Assist in destroying eight enemy Engineer buildings with a single Ubercharge on a Demoman

Those sound like my top "Play this game for way to long before you get them" achievements
