2013-10-30 - Borderlands 2 - 100%

Now it is done. Finished Borderlands 2 today and got the last 3 achievements. So it took me exactly 3 months to get from first achievement to the last. :)

2013-10-29 - Borderlands 2, the end is near

The end of BL2 is near for me, I have got almost all achievements in it.

Got one more today so I am 3 achievements short from 100% completion.

When doing my daily AlphaJax moves, this baby just popped up on its own. :)

 

Sadly, the last 3 achievements are quite tricky and I may need to boost them with someone, as they might be quite hard or impossible to obtain in normal games with random opponents.

2013-10-28 - Borderlands 2 grinding

I am in the very end of BL2 and obtaining its achievements. Spent some time in it grinding for the 2 achievements I got today.

In the Hammerlock's Hunt DLC I had to run around and kill few specific animals that only spawn in some specific areas on random intervals and not so commonly. Well, Google is our friend and I found instructions, what areas to check, and then do the classical "load your save game, run around, kill animals, save, quite and repeat".

The "Challenge Accepted" achievement was even more bizarre. For it to be unlocked, you have to have "Completed level 1 of all non-level-specific challenges with a single character". The problem is that 2 of the level 1 challenges become only available after you get level 5 in two other challenges. I was stuck of getting 750 point blank kills with shotguns, as it just is not my gaming style. I am more sneaky sniper kind of guy who uses turrets or grenades or rocket launcher to get rid of enemies form distance.

NB, there are some BL2 shift codes available.

Xbox 360 SHiFT Code for 3 Golden Keys in Borderlands 2:
W3KTB-3BH5T-9R93F-WRB3B-SZBZR [Active through 10/29]
(source http://www.examiner.com/article/borderlands-2-golden-key-shift-codes-revealed-to-celebrate-sir-hammerlock)

Then I played a little of Jetpack Joyride, but got no achievements there. Last but not least, did my "daily" moves in Win 8 AlphaJax and got one easy (just time consuming) achievement there.

2013-10-26 - Borderland 2 time

What a chill day. Had some good times with my family and played some Borderlands 2 in the evening.

Got 2 achievements from 2 different DLC-s, but again - for some reason Xbox.com claims one achievement I obtained tomorrow.

2013-10-17 - Borderlands 2 GOTY has landed

Yes yess yesss! BL2 GOTY (Game of the year) edition is finally here.

Did not have much time to play it, but managed to get 2 achievements in the Tiny Tina DLC:

Oddly enough you don't see the GOTY even existing when you check out Borderlands2.com site, but if you are in Europe, you can get it from some retailers ... Game.co.uk for example.

Did my usual daily moves in AlphaJax and managed to kill the final boss in Ascend: Hand of Kul. It was not that hard actually - probably because I had just ascended and had relatively good gear for my low level character. And also because I tend to rely more on spells than on my sword (I have invested a lot of souls in upgrading the spells I have).

2013-10-10 - Being bad in Hand of Kul

Today I was a "bad boy" in Hand of Kul - gained 3 achievements worth 30 points by doing nasty things to other players :P I hope I did not make any long lasting enemies!

https://live.xbox.com/en-IE/Activity/Details?titleId=1480657765&compareTo=Ex6

Also launched Borderlands 2 for 5 minutes- just to enter a free Shift code - 5J5JT-TFJHF-99TC6-5XBJJ-K9XHK that I got from - Examiner.com - it gives you 3 golden keys. Not sure how long this code lasts, may have been timed out by time you try it.

Last but least - did my daily moves in AlphaJax and got 2 new achievements. :)
