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:

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.

Managed also to get one "random" achievement in Ascend: Hand of Kul. And by random I mean that there is nothing much you can do about it - you just have to wait until your ascended champion has found someone who it was able to bead up during your absence. I just logged in and POP, came the achievement. :)

Also played the web based Wordament but still have not got the last achievement. :(

2013-10-24 - Back to Borderlands

Busy day, not much time for gaming. Never the less - managed to spend some time with Borderlands 2 and finish the Tiny Tina DLC main quest. Some sidequest still in works:
