Xbox Update: November 2024

October had a couple of trips for me. I was was off to Jackson, GA for a Stranger Things convention, Niagara for a half marathon, I also had a trip to Texas end of September, so had a bit to catch up on after that.

The good thing is I have a new work schedule set up which is working well for me. I stop working at 4pm every day – and that applies for 7 days a week. It’s great because it really works well as it motivates me to get up early to cram more in.

I didn’t really get stuck into any one game in October as I focused on True Achievements “Trick or Treat” challenge. I intended to do one for each day and I ended up going over, with 32 tricks and 32 treats.

Not really worth breaking down every game I went through for that. I got 161 achievements total. Let’s see:

– Football Manager 2024 Console: This was a big help for me when traveling as I could play it on mobile and was easy to get achievements.

– F1 Manager 23: I 1k’d this as it was leaving Gamepass. Felt good to do that.

– Halo Wars: Another one where I was able to chip away at it on my phone. 15 achievements in that th is month.

– Boulder Dash-XL: Played this a bunch as it showed up on my “Treat”. Got right into it – I played this game on the Speccy growing up so was nice to go back to it.

– uDraw games: I got my old uDraw tablet out for the 360 and was going through those. Got 7 achievements in Pictionary and 4 in Marvel Superhero Squad.

Not sure if I will continue with Fallout 76 which I haven’t played in a month, or get a new game going now I have that different work time set up. We shall see. That will kick in next week when I come back from Texas. I’d like to get some sort of setup going where I like – 1k a game or come as close to as possible once a week, get my percentage up – and also have another game ongoing. We’ll see.
