2013-11-27 - 7 achievements in a day

Even after a busy day and spending about 8 hours in 4 different buses, managed to do some gaming in the evening.

Got 3 achievements on Lego Star Wars TCS and 4 in a "new" game: Wheelman. I know I know, Wheelman is not "new" game as it was released already on March 2009. It was new to me, as I have not played it till now. :)

Lego achievements were easy - two of them were the "use X to kill Y" that are very easy with 2 controllers if you have the characters unlocked and bought. The "wear every hat" came just during regular gameplay - no grinding was needed.

The first three Wheelman achievements came easily during normal gameplay. Just follow the scripted path to get yourself familiar with the game and you get the achievements. The 4th one I got when I completed my very first side-mission.

2013-11-26 - 3 achievements in 3 minutes

Today I had busy day, long training session, lots of phone calls, went out for shopping and library.

In the end of the day found 5 minutes to get 3 super easy achievements done... literally it took me one minute each to get them. All it took was to use 2 controllers, select needed characters for both controllers, launch a level, use controller 1 to kill character controlled by the idle controller 2 and BANG - there is the achievement.

Expect similar easy achievements tomorrow evening, as I have even more busy day ahead of me. I need to wake up around 5.30 to take 6.30 local bus to the capital. Then take another bus to travel another big city 3 hours away. After having there one important meeting I have few hours for playing tourist and then I am heading back the same route.

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:
