2013-12-01 - New month starts with achievements in 3 games

Today got achievements in 3 games. +135G

I got 2 hard ones in Lego Star Wars II. Those are the ones where you have to fly around and you cannot use a "ghost" character to make it super-easy for you. You actually have to do it without getting killed. Hard stuff, took multiple tries.

Then I went and got 2 relatively easy ones in Lego Star Wars TCS. To get the "Arcade master" I went the easy route - fired up the arcade battle with 2 controllers, and used controller 2 to jump off the ledge 100 times - meaning the controller 1 got 100 "kills" and the achievement unlocked. "Cash in" was also easy when you know, in what mission and where to do it. :)

2013-11-30 - Last day of November

This November was sent out in style. Played 4 games, got achievements in 3 of them, 125G in total.

Lego Star Wars TCS - as the end is near, the G-s from game are growing. Got 3 achievements total worth 100G

The Disco achievement come unexpectedly when I was re-playing missions and hunting for the unclaimed mini-kits and red bricks. The last Disco was in some hidden room, where I was not able to go during normal gameplay. Harmless achievement was another one that was easy to do with 2 controllers and selecting R2D2 for one player and Droidikas for second player. Last but not least, the 60G Red Brick Master - this is quite easy just a time consuming one.

Also managed to see a bug in the game, at one point of gaming it claimed I have found 11 mini-kits out of possible 10 in one level. :) :) :)

One mini-kit too many?

Then I played little bit Wheelman again, and managed to get one easy achievement in that one:

In end of the day played a game that I have not touched for couple of months - AC3

Played couple of rounds in multiplayer and got one achievement in it. Did not have to much to get it - just had to be in the winning team. :)

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.
