<p>So yeah, I forgot to do <strong><a href="https://grindingdown.wordpress.com/category/achievements-of-the-week/">Achievements of the Week</a></strong> last week, but I doubt any of y&#8217;all noticed. It was Black Friday, after all. The day after one eats too much food and drinks too much wine and sleeps a little too well. Or not at all if you&#8217;re into that crazy shopping craziness. But fear no more, for I have recovered and am back to bring you up to speed. Naturally, I&#8217;m slipping in Achievements from both <em>that</em> week and this one.</p>
<p>And here we go!</p>
<h3>From Dungeons &amp; Dragons: Daggerdale&#8230;</h3>

<strong>Welcome to Tethyamar</strong> (10G): Complete Tutorial &#8211; Descent into Darkness</p>
<p>That&#8217;s actually all I&#8217;ve done so far with this one. Seems like a by-the-books hack-and-slasher, which is fine, really, if a little bland. The cutscenes are nicely animated in that &#8220;motion comics&#8221; kind of way. The only strangeness is that nobody speaks in the game. Not a soul. All dialogue is written, but accompanied by LEGO-esque grunts and mumbling. It cracks Tara up.</p>
<h3>From LEGO Harry Potter, Years 5-7&#8230;</h3>

<strong>Chair-ismatic</strong> (10G): Complete &#8220;Out of Retirement&#8221;</p>
<p>Just some story-related Achievements. Nothing terribly special, but I like their names nonetheless. For the really not special ones, see my thoughts on <strong><a href="https://grindingdown.wordpress.com/2011/11/23/waiting-and-wondering-in-lego-harry-potter-years-5-7/">Idling</a></strong> and <strong><a href="https://grindingdown.wordpress.com/2011/11/30/avid-reader-and-avid-button-masher-in-lego-harry-potter-years-5-7/">Avid Reader</a></strong><a href="https://grindingdown.wordpress.com/2011/11/30/avid-reader-and-avid-button-masher-in-lego-harry-potter-years-5-7/">.</a></p>

<strong>Taking Care of Business</strong> (10G): Join the Thieves Guild</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve joined, but I&#8217;m barely accepted yet. Seems like I need to do a lot of miscellaneous jobs, such as shilling nice folk and breaking and entering locked buildings, before Lohgahn can be loved.</p>

<strong>Dragonslayer</strong> (50G): Complete &#8220;Dragonslayer&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="https://grindingdown.wordpress.com/2011/12/02/the-problem-with-too-many-quests-and-bosses-that-glitch-in-skyrim/">Hey, I <em>just</em> wrote about this bad boy!</a></p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it, more or less. <a href="https://grindingdown.wordpress.com/2011/11/30/to-infinity-and-beyond-good-evil-hd-once-again/">I already showed off the two I got so far in </a><strong><a href="https://grindingdown.wordpress.com/2011/11/30/to-infinity-and-beyond-good-evil-hd-once-again/">Beyond Good &amp; Evil HD</a></strong><a href="https://grindingdown.wordpress.com/2011/11/30/to-infinity-and-beyond-good-evil-hd-once-again/">,</a> and while I did download two more DLC case files for <strong>L.A. Noire</strong>, I&#8217;ve not yet found a moment to play &#8217;em. Kicking the World-Eater&#8217;s ass took priority. This weekend is looking good though for some more crime scene investigating.</p>
<p>What have <em>you</em> unlocked recently?</p>
