2013-11-25 - 100G in 2 Lego Star Wars games

Today I played 2 Lego Star Wars games and got achievements in both. :)

The "Undefeated Endor" was quite easy to do with a "ghost" character - it cannot be killed and enemies leave you alone. But the Speeder Showdown - it needed concentration. Even when using ghost, you are vulnerable when riding the speeder and can be killed by turrets or just by hitting the walls/trees by accident.

In Lego Star Wars TCS got some relatively easy achievements.

For "Shoot first" I just needed to fire up second controller, select right characters for both players, launch a random episode, have one specific character kill another, and voila - there it was.

Little similar deal with "Fire in the hole" - just had to use Bobba Fett and throw a thermal detonator into a swarm of storm-troopers. :)

Gopher was also very easy to get ... if you have all the stud multiplayers equipped. :)

2013-11-24 - Another day with 40G in Lego Star Wars TCS

Another day has passed, when I only played Lego Star Wars TCS. And again I got 2 achievements worth 40G. Both achievements are "stupid" grinding achievements. For the "Lightsaber master" I just had to hit my "player 2" 20 times with un-blockable combo attacks. What this means is that you have to use a Jedi character and do a special sword hit on someone (press "X" 3 times in a row). Easy when you know what to do exactly... but pointless.

"The Dodger" is similar - you have to dodge incoming blaster charges by jumping out of its way when it is just about to hit you. Grinding what it is - just wait and jump wait and jump till it popped.

Those achievements do not make me proud, but they are needed if you want to get to 100% game completion! :)

Rest of the achievements are soon to follow! BTW - I managed to find, unlock and buy all stud multiplayers today. I am earning sweet amount of studs even without trying ... that is what 2x + 4x + 6x + 8x + 10x gives you: 3840 x multiplayer

2013-11-23 - 40G in Lego Star Wars TCS

Slow day achievement wise - played several hours, but only got 2 achievements to show.

Most work was done to get closer to 100% completion - replaying levels, getting mini-kits and red bricks, things like that.

As I have played Lego games before, I know it is quite important to get the stud multiplayers as early as possible. Better spend money in early stages on multiplayers bricks so you earn more studs faster as you go along. I already own 2x multiplayer, and have unlocked 2x, 6x and 10x. I am only little cash short to be able to afford the 4x multiplayer. When I have the 2 equipped at the same time, it will mean I will earn 8x studs when playing.

Any-who, here is the "daily" screenshot and link to my profile:

2013-11-21 - Short day

Another busy day in real life, spent short time on console.

Played few campaign missions on Iron Brigade and maybe half hour on Ascend: Hand of Kul - but got no achievements in either of them.

2013-11-20 - 20% done in Lego Star Wars TCS

Got some gaming done today after getting home from work.

Played only one game - Lego Star Wars TCS. Got 2 achievements. I was expecting the The Empire Strikes Back (Finish Episode V in story mode) one to pop, but the Yee Haw (Ride all mounts types & ride-ons) was a surprise to me - just popped out on its own.
