<p><a href="https://grindingdown.wordpress.com/2012/03/09/achievements-of-the-week-the-debunked-mr-oddjob-smells-funny-edition/">Last week,</a> I promised more variety in the Achievements I unlocked for this week, and&#8211;<em>surprise, surprise</em>&#8211;I actually came through and unlocked a bunch in three completely different videogames. Go me. No, really. Slap me friendly on the back because sometimes, and I don&#8217;t really understand this, it appears nearly impossible in my mind to switch out game discs inside my Xbox 360. Like I&#8217;m kicking one kid to the curb for another. Plus, the longer I leave a disc in my Xbox, the better the chance I&#8217;ll stick with it to the end. Maybe that&#8217;s a topic for another time though&#8230;</p>
<p>But yeah, here. Check &#8217;em out.</p>
<h3>From Rage&#8230;</h3>

<strong>Decapathon</strong> (15G): Get 10 Headshot kills with the Wingstick</p>
<p>The Wingstick is one of the more crazy cool weapons in <strong>Rage</strong>. It&#8217;s basically a boomerang of death, and tossing it into a room is sure to get the chaos (and heads) a-rolling. I spend most of my time constructing these from scrap.</p>
<h3>From Mass Effect 2&#8230;</h3>
<p><a href="https://grindingdown.wordpress.com/2012/03/15/gathering-allies-and-gaining-loyalties-in-mass-effect-2/">Yesterday, I talked a little bit</a> about who I just got on Commander Shepard&#8217;s team, as well as earning one person&#8217;s divine loyalty. But I did get two more Achievements as I worked my way across the galaxy. See, see:</p>

<strong>Explorer</strong> (10G): Visit 100% of the planets in an unexplored cluster</p>
<p>Isn&#8217;t &#8220;Explorer&#8221; one of the more common names for Achievements? I feel like I&#8217;ve seen it many times before, probably in <strong>Fallout 3</strong> and <strong>Dragon Age: Origins</strong>.</p>

<strong>Champion Edition Hero</strong> (30G): Earn 30,000 Player Points (PP).</p>
<p>Nothing too exciting about these. Just making progress as I try to beat the game with everyone on Very Easy with 30-second round matches. Yeah, I&#8217;m <em>that</em> guy.</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s going to do it for this edition of  Achievements of the Week. How did y&#8217;all do over the past seven days? Any cool accomplishments you&#8217;d like to share? If so, do it below.</p>
