Zombie Night Terror • Kill a zombie by blowing up another zombie nearby

I feel like it would be remiss of me to first mention that I concluded the Destiny 2: Forsaken campaign last night. It was as satisfying as you think it would be, though I was a bit confused by the ending – or more specifically – the final boss battle. I’m guessing that most people who read this blog aren’t really too…

Zombie Night Terror • Destroy 28 doors

Do you know what’s awesome? Having Overwatch as this month’s early-access on Humble Bundle Monthly … and so while I was stuffing around unlocking that this morning, I took the liberty of unlocking the September games, including this strange strategy-come-puzzle game, Zombie Night Terror.

The premise is that you, essentially, infect people to become zombies,…

Resogun • Save all humans on Acis • Bronze Trophy • Rarity 17.8% (Rare)

I feel like Resogunwas actually the first game I played on PS4 … I remember quite distinctly driving to EB Games late at night, getting my PS4 at launch, driving home and setting it up, and then spending 15 minutes playing a shiny new game on my beautiful new console. I am almost certain that game was Resogun, but now that…

Unium • Solve “Battery” by overlapping the line twice

I felt a bit bad continuing to play a lot of ‘new’ puzzle games, without necessarily going back to some of the other games that I’d started in order to grab the quick-and-dirty achievements, and so I made a commitment to start revisiting some of these titles that have nothing mechanically wrong with them, but I’ve never really had the time or…

AdVenture Capitalist • Buy 1000 of Everything on Earth

Before I got too carried away exploring the Reef and trying to round-up the riot happening at the Prisoner of Elders in Destiny 2, I had another milestone to meet today. One Thousand Things. Finally, I managed – after an overnight grind to get the dollars up, I was able to purchase enough items to get over the 1,000 psychological – and…

Cross Set • Solve one level

I didn’t have much time to play on the PC during my working day today, on account of having to duck off slightly earlier from work (gearing up for a big family vacation next week), and with a tight lunch turnaround, I was really left trying to balance out a quick-and-easy achievment with something that I felt like playing.

To be honest, there was actually quite a few…

21 Days • eat Halal food

Back to the grind this week after a sensational weekend away playing esports and … oh, yes, I’m banging on again about that, aren’t I? Well, today is the first time I haven’t been about to fall asleep while I’m writing (or gaming!) and I decided to venture back to 21 Daysto grab some low-hanging fruit of an achievement, not just because I’m getting snowed-under at work,…

AdVenture Capitalist • Purchase the “Buy Earth” Upgrade on Earth

Well, I’ve had a big weekend. A bigweekend. Today I had the great joy of attending the Melbourne Esports Open, and between that and a whole lot of travel, I’m left looking for quick-and-easy achievements. I actually thought today might be the day I grabbed the 1,000 of each item on Earth, but instead my Angel Investors have now…

Welcome to Your Horizon

Forza Horizon 3 • Celebrate opening your Horizon Festival site by putting on a spectacular Showcase • 10G • 79.02% of gamers unlocked this

It’s been a long-time coming, but finally, finally, I’ve been able to play Horizon 3 … and on my PC as well! I have a lot of both stock and faith in the Xbox-on-PC model … remembering that I was one of the early champions of the unpopular Games for Windows…

The Walking Dead: Season Two • Found a campsite • 20G • 57.08% of gamers unlocked this

I’ve been staring at the advertisment for Clementine’s final outing on my Steam Store page for at least a week now, because I’m fairly sure that Valve knows I’m a sucker for a good Telltale game and I’m only one momentary lapse away from hitting the purchase button. The only thing holding me back is that I’d…

Be friend with your roommate

21 Days • talk to Mahdi

I suspect that there is an intentional play on broken English in both the title of this achievemement, as well as the description … for the purposes of posterity, I have left the sloppy capitalisation in for today’s post.

21 Daysappears to serve a political message around refugees and their value in society. I’m not sure if it’s prone to hyperbole or whether it is an…

Darksiders • Meet Vulgrim

As it turns out, I did have time for another achievement tonight – a ‘proper’ achievement for purists, I suppose. It’s been a while since I’ve sat down for a proper session of Darksiders – heck, I can’t even remember if I ever finished the game properly, but I certainly know that I’ve played it on PlayStation, and then again I dabbled in the Definitive (Death-initive?)…

Duelyst • You’ve opened 1 Mythron Orb …

When I decided to make the switch from ‘just’ Xbox achievements to the broader achievement ecosystems, I very much had in-game achievements in mind. To be more specific, I remember a time when World of Warcraft had a number of in-game achievement systems built-in, and so it was with that in mind that I had expected I could build a broader portfolio than…

Is it a plane?

Turbo Pug DX • Unlock Super Pug

I didn’t actually think I’d get back to Turbo Pug DX today, well – certainly not in an achievement sense – it’s been, by-and-large, a case of good timing, as I clicked my way through a (very quick) lunch-break, I seemed to have earned enough little doggie treats to unlock the next character in the series.

Enter Super Pug!

From what I can tell, the only difference…

Sleeping with the Fishes

Turbo Pug DX • Drown your pet in any kind of liquid

Today was kind of a strange day in that I was exceptionally busy, but would be hard-pressed to tell you what I actually accomplished. It was a day of telephone conferences and meetings, none of which had much substance, and so by the end of the day I was left trying to find something mindless that didn’t require a lot of gaming prowess.

Turbo…

Rocks and Rockets • Start the level 5

To be honest, I really just want to play Destiny 2 today. After stumbling across a bit of a thread on the Destiny 2 Australia Facebook group, where a lot of console gamers were migrating to PC – much like myself – I felt better about my decision to persevere with my PC character and have him in my back-pocket for future Destiny 2 shenanigans.

So, I had a…
