2013-12-18 - Turtles and Robots

You guessed it ... I am still stuck with shooting robots and fighting crime dressed as a turtle. :)

Nothing too complicated in the TMNT game. Finish 2 levels, get 2 achievements.

In the arcade game Shoot Many Robots, spent most time playing it online. Managed to get some of the more complicated achievements done today. The "Slotally Tober Saughter" (Beat a tough mission without the aid of beer or resurrection!) was quite hard. I had to make sure I dodge the missiles and stay out of trouble as much as possible, and when I found trouble and got myself to low on health, I had to resist the urge to push the "heal me" button.

And I cheated a bit with "Number One Tugnut" (Got first place in a four player mission!). We used 2 consoles, 2 players connected to each, and then basically only I was playing and other people just moved their characters closer and closer to the finish line. :)

That's how we achievement whores roll, I guess... :P

2013-12-17 - Robots and Turtles

New day, same games.

Got 3 achievements in Shoot Many Robots and discovered that multiplayer is more fun in this game compared to single player campaigning.

Second game of the day was TMNT where I also got one achievement as I completed one level, but I forgot to take the "usual" screenshot, so here is one that shows only the achievement:

2013-12-16 - Shooting Many Robots

Today MS made available another arcade game free for Gold members: Shoot Many Robots

Being into gaming and free stuff, I downloaded the game and gave it a try. Its pretty fun. Pretty straight forward. You good. Robots bad. You shoot many robots. They drop coins. You collect coins. You buy better guns. You kill more robots. You level up.

Did not play too much today, so only got one simple achievement in the game. 10G for killing 100 robots.

2013-12-15 - More TMNT

After completing Lego Indiana Jones earlier today, decided to do a level or 2 in TMNT.

Nothing too special. Completed 2 levels, and gained one extra achievement.

2013-12-15 - Lego Indiana Jones - 100%

Whoop, there it is... Lego Indiana Jones completed... after 4.5 years of being shelved...

We go for a ride was easy, all I needed to do is find a location where you can swing back and forward and then keep pressing B for a while ... at the same time I was watching some TV.

Disarming achievement was bit more tricky, as you can only disarm enemies from specific distance. Do it from too far, and you don't reach enemy, when too close, it will not disarm them. The last one was THE BIG headache. It was "glitched" for me as for many other people according to forums. I managed to kill multiple times 6 troopers at same time in "Motorcycle Escape" but the achievement did not appear. Same problem in "Escape the mines" - blowing up 5+ enemies did not pop the achievement. Luckily when trying it in the level with bunch of spiders - "Pankot secrets" - there I eventually got it.

2013-12-14 - TMNT and Indiana Jones

Today I played two games.

In TMNT I got 4 achievements by playing through 2 levels and using 2 turtles special moves the first time. Extremely easy 120G!

After time spent with the Mutant Turtles decided to fire up another Lego game that was shelved for almost 4 and half years. Last achievement from Summer 2009:

 

The game in question is Lego Indiana Jones. And the achievements left undone were mostly the "secret" / grinding ones.

After consulting well informed sites in internet and after some dedicated grinding I unlocked 4 out of the missing 7 achievements:

If I can do the last 3 achievements tomorrow, then this game is completed 100% :)
