2013-11-29 - 70G in Lego Star Wars TCS

Today I was busy studying, running errands and at the evening visiting a comedy club - never the less, managed to do some gaming in-between and get 2 achievements in Lego Star Wars TCS.

You can probably already guess how I got the easy 10G achievement (just check my earlier TCS posts).

The "Collector" achievement was bit more tricky. Basically what the problem was ... I had all characters unlocked and bought besides one. Last character was hidden and unknown to me. The missing one was unlocked by following: go to the extras room (where you can build 6 golden gates from the bricks you unlock / buy during the game). That has room has a doorway labelled "Trailers". Enter and watch the Indiana Jones trailer, when done Indy he becomes available to buy at the character shop. After buying Indiana Jones - I got the 60G achievement.

2013-11-28 - Lego and Wheelman

Another day with 2 games played where I got achievements in both games.

Both wheelman achievements came during normal gameplay - Finish Him was awarded during in a story mission. The taxi achievement I got after doing my first taxi driver side mission.

3 achievements in TCS - 2 were easy - "kill A with B" and the third one was when I finished the Episode III story mode. Now all the episodes are done, all needed to do is revisit the levels, and get all the mini-kits and power bricks and work my way closer and closer to the 100% completion.

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
