2013-11-01 - A World of Keflings

Downloaded new game today: A World of Keflings - It is free for the first half of November of 2013. And as I am a gold member on XBL - of course I am going to download and play it.

On my first day, I got 3 achievements. Only got to play it for maybe max 2 hours.

Decided to fire up Adera again today. Managed to get couple of achievements in this game. 5 to precise worth 45G.

2013-10-31 - Time to something really old

Time to play something very old ... Went through my old games and decided to have another go with LEGO Star Wars II.

This game has been unused since summer 2009... more than 4 years. Time sure does fly...

It is one of many games that I have owned for ages, but somehow stopped playing it. As you see from the achievement history - I got last achievement in June 2009 and one before that in April 2008.

Too bad I have lost the save game for this and have to start all over from very beginning. The things we do for achievements, eh? :)

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:

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.
