More Completions - Session 86Permalink
So I finally finished off Minecraft: Story Mode - A Telltale Games Series Achievements . I wasn't really pushing that hard, alternating missions in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition Achievements and Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition Achievements . I am falling in love with Skyrim again. I have a Level 62 character and almost have my Alchemy at Level 100 so I can enchant items for myself. As usual, I have not started the main quest. Borderlands is just grinding away.

So I have decided to just play three games at a time and this will be the list. I will not post again until I complete one of them:

Game #1 - Borderlands followed by Borderlands 2 (360) and Borderlands 2 (Xbox One), Borderlands Pre-Sequel (360) and Borderlands Pre-Sequel (XBoxOne) Lots of time in Pandora for me.

Game #2 - Skyrim (Xbox One), then mop up Skyrim (360), the move onto another series...possibly Fallout or maybe Mass Effect?

Game #3 - These are the "easy" games to complete. Not a lot of hard work to get through them. Next up is Minecraft: Story Mode - Season Two Achievements , but then it is a bit open after that. I have a lot of LEGO games not finished, NBA Playgrounds and the sequel have to be polished off, as well as Marvel Ultimate Alliance (Xbox One) and its sequel. When your Completion Percentage is 44% there are clearly lots of games to be played.

One last thing before I wrap up this post, is that Minecraft: Story Mode was probably the most fun Telltale game that I have played. I got a little bored during Chapter 5, but the rest of the game has a lot of fun in it and any fan of Minecraft will enjoy it. I hope that Minecraft: Story Mode - Season Two Achievements is just as great when I start it tomorrow!

Completion Percentage: 44.07% (High: 44.28%, Low: 43.25%, Last: 43.82)
Current Streak: 9 days (High: 43 days)
Games Completed: 8 The Walking Dead: A New Frontier Achievements TurnOn Achievements Air Guitar Warrior Gamepad Edition Achievements Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series Achievements Batman: The Enemy Within - The Telltale Series Achievements Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign Achievements Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition (Xbox 360) Achievements Minecraft: Story Mode - A Telltale Games Series Achievements

More Completions - Session 85 - Back to BusinessPermalink
So my goal was to play ten different 360 games and get one achievement each. Instead I did this:
Fire Pro WrestlingBody BuildingThe Body Building achievement in Fire Pro Wrestling worth 18 pointsWin the Gym Stage Boss match in the Champion Series.
Dust: An Elysian TailCutting It CloseThe Cutting It Close achievement in Dust: An Elysian Tail worth 16 pointsSuccessfully Parry with less than 10% health remaining
Frozen Free Fall: Snowball Fight (Xbox 360)5 Double GlacierThe 5 Double Glacier achievement in Frozen Free Fall: Snowball Fight (Xbox 360) worth 217 pointsCombine 5 Double Glacier Gems
Frozen Free Fall: Snowball Fight (Xbox 360)20 Windchill GlacierThe 20 Windchill Glacier achievement in Frozen Free Fall: Snowball Fight (Xbox 360) worth 154 pointsCombine 20 Windchill and Glacier Gems
Frozen Free Fall: Snowball Fight (Xbox 360)10 Iceberg GlacierThe 10 Iceberg Glacier achievement in Frozen Free Fall: Snowball Fight (Xbox 360) worth 160 pointsCombine 10 Iceberg and Glacier Gems

Frozen Free Fall: Snowball Fight (Xbox 360)15 Double IcebergThe 15 Double Iceberg achievement in Frozen Free Fall: Snowball Fight (Xbox 360) worth 156 pointsCombine 15 Double Iceberg Gems
Borderlands 2 (Xbox 360)Goliath, Meet DavidThe Goliath, Meet David achievement in Borderlands 2 (Xbox 360) worth 25 pointsAllow a Goliath to level up four times before killing him


and a lot of time in Clicker Heroes Achievements giving me some progress. Playing Borderlands 2 made me miss the original, so I will go back to my three alternating games for the Xbox One which are:
-> one mission in Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition Achievements
-> one achievement in Minecraft: Story Mode - A Telltale Games Series (Xbox 360) Achievements which I found Chapters 1-4 excellent, Chapter 5 a bit boring, but Chapter 6 is exciting again, mainly because of the inclusion of my daughter's favourite YouTuber StampyCat (his YouTube channel is here: https://www.youtube.com/user/stampylonghead
-> one mission from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition Achievements . I haven't beaten either this game nor the one from the 360 so I will grind away on this.

I will post again when I am done the Minecraft game. Below is the order of games (so I don't forget!)

1) Minecraft: Story Mode - A Telltale Games Series Achievements - Just to get it done. It is an easy "Telltale-like" game which I just have to finish.

2) Minecraft: Story Mode - Season Two Achievements - I haven't started this, but it is wasting space on my HD.

3) The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition Achievements - Unbelievably, I finished Oblivion, which I adored, but didn't finish Skyrim on either the 360 or the Xbox One. I am finishing (first) the Xbox One version to save some HD space.

4) some LEGO game - These are easy completions but just need some focus.

5) Fallout 4 Achievements - I may change this to Fallout 3 or New Vegas which I haven't finished either

6) another LEGO game

Completion Percentage: 43.88% (High: 44.28%, Low: 43.25%, Last: 43.82)
Current Streak: 17 days (High: 43 days)
Games Completed: 7 The Walking Dead: A New Frontier Achievements TurnOn Achievements Air Guitar Warrior Gamepad Edition Achievements Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series Achievements Batman: The Enemy Within - The Telltale Series Achievements Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign Achievements Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition (Xbox 360) Achievements

More Completions - Session 84 - Taking A BreakPermalink
The last month of gaming has been very rewarding for me. I alternated one quest in Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition Achievements , popping one achievement in Minecraft: Story Mode - A Telltale Games Series Achievements and then playing one MyTeam game in NBA 2K18 Achievements , I finally popped
NBA 2K18297 Problems and Domination IS One!The 297 Problems and Domination IS One! achievement in NBA 2K18 worth 244 pointsEarn 297 Stars by completing all Domination modes in MyTEAM.
effectively finishing the game for me.

Now I am going to take a break. Not stop gaming of course, but between now and my next blog I am going to re-energize my gaming by earning one achievement in ten different games from my Xbox 360. The games above are all excellent, but it is starting to feel like a grind so here goes. I am not going to make a list or try to plan too hard, but I will just look through my list of uncompleted 360 games and have some fun playing and getting a few achievements along the way.

My list of games from the last blog I will re-post. Once I am done the ten achievements listed above, I will return to alternating one mission from Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition Achievements , then one achievement from Minecraft: Story Mode - A Telltale Games Series Achievements and continue down the list and sink my teeth into The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition Achievements

1) Minecraft: Story Mode - A Telltale Games Series Achievements - Just to get it done. It is an easy "Telltale-like" game which I just have to finish.

2) Minecraft: Story Mode - Season Two Achievements - I haven't started this, but it is wasting space on my HD.

3) The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition Achievements - Unbelievably, I finished Oblivion, which I adored, but didn't finish Skyrim on either the 360 or the Xbox One. I am finishing (first) the Xbox One version to save some HD space.

4) some LEGO game - These are easy completions but just need some focus.

5) Fallout 4 Achievements - I may change this to Fallout 3 or New Vegas which I haven't finished either

6) another LEGO game

Completion Percentage: 43.82% (High: 44.28%, Low: 43.25%, Last: 43.62)
Current Streak: 13 days (High: 43 days)
Games Completed: 7 The Walking Dead: A New Frontier Achievements TurnOn Achievements Air Guitar Warrior Gamepad Edition Achievements Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series Achievements Batman: The Enemy Within - The Telltale Series Achievements Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign Achievements Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition (Xbox 360) Achievements

Playing games is fun for me. What I mean by this is that playing non-sports game is a wonderful change from grinding NBA2K games over the last three or so years. I "finished" Inside My Radio Achievements (meaning that I beat the campaign and tried for an hour and a half for the first Time Attack and then gave up) and actually finished Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition (Xbox 360) Achievements , meaning that I just have Disney Infinity Achievements left to finish (but will complete at a different time). I really enjoyed the Disney Infinity series and liked the idea of physically purchasing the characters and packs rather than buying DLC.

So what's next? In NBA 2K18 Achievements I have about 35 games left in MyTeam. multiplied by at least 30 minutes per game and that is 17-18 hours+ of basketball. To prevent boredom, between games I will play one "mission" in Borderlands Achievements and one mission/level/achievement in a single of the following games. I will list the order for myself:

1) Minecraft: Story Mode - A Telltale Games Series Achievements - Just to get it done. It is an easy "Telltale-like" game which I just have to finish.

2) Minecraft: Story Mode - Season Two Achievements - I haven't started this, but it is wasting space on my HD.

3) The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition Achievements - Unbelievably, I finished Oblivion, which I adored, but didn't finish Skyrim on either the 360 or the Xbox One. I am finishing (first) the Xbox One version to save some HD space.

4) some LEGO game - These are easy completions but just need some focus.

5) Fallout 4 Achievements - I may change this to Fallout 3 or New Vegas which I haven't finished either

6) another LEGO game

That should keep me busy for a while. I will update either when I get the MyTeam achievement in NBA 2K18 or finish Minecraft: Story Mode - A Telltale Games Series Achievements

Completion Percentage: 43.62% (High: 44.28%, Low: 43.25%, Last: 43.59)
Current Streak: 2 days (High: 43 days)
Games Completed: 7 The Walking Dead: A New Frontier Achievements TurnOn Achievements Air Guitar Warrior Gamepad Edition Achievements Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series Achievements Batman: The Enemy Within - The Telltale Series Achievements Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign Achievements Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition (Xbox 360) Achievements

I haven't posted in a long time so I will try to list some of my goals and what has been happening lately. Since February, I have been grinding NBA 2K19 Achievements and the game is now basically done for me. What that means is that the remaining achievements are either bugged (the last GM and the Play Now Online achievements), horribly difficult (getting all wins at the highest Play Now Online), or will cost me a large amount of money (the Infinity and Goat achievements in MyTeam). While you may say I am weak for ignoring those, I grinded (or is that ground) my way to 91 and played enough to get the 100K for
NBA 2K19Ride It Where I LikeThe Ride It Where I Like achievement in NBA 2K19 worth 145 pointsRide a Bike in the Neighborhood in MyCAREER.
as well as ground HOF Charge Card and HOF Chase Down with my Defender-Rebounder (if you played the game you'll know those are just earned with practice..,5000+15000+40000+90000 = 150,000 points needed divided by 700 pts per time doing it equals a lot of boredom, but the benefit was earning:
NBA 2K19Capped OutThe Capped Out achievement in NBA 2K19 worth 295 pointsMax out all of your badges in MyCAREER.
done using a very difficult build (IMHO).

To take my mind off the boredom, I dug into Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign Achievements which was actually enjoyable. 30+ hours later and the game is completed. I also purchased Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition Achievements (my favourite non-music game for the 360) as well as Borderlands 2 Achievements , Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel Achievements and Borderlands 3 .

Before I play those there are a few games I want to "finish" (that being complete or complete enough that I am satisfied that I will never play the game again). Specifically I am talking about Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition Achievements , Inside My Radio Achievements and
NBA 2K18297 Problems and Domination IS One!The 297 Problems and Domination IS One! achievement in NBA 2K18 worth 244 pointsEarn 297 Stars by completing all Domination modes in MyTEAM.
as it will be unobtainable soon. I will continue to make a list like this and add to it to play along with Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition Achievements when I start it.

Completion Percentage: 43.59% (High: 44.28%, Low: 43.25%, Last: 43.42)
Current Streak: 0 days (High: 43 days)
Games Completed: 6 The Walking Dead: A New Frontier Achievements TurnOn Achievements Air Guitar Warrior Gamepad Edition Achievements Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series Achievements Batman: The Enemy Within - The Telltale Series Achievements Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign Achievements
