I'm having an achievement day today, should be able to get at least ten big ratio achievements from Jackbox and I've also downloaded Doom. Don't think we'll need the boost.

I'll try my best, but kids are off for half term now so it might be difficult.


No worries dude, I’ll be in the same boat next week with the kids. My brother is planning a session today and Cora is on fire this morning :toot:

I've kinda run out of achievements to get now though, while I wait for Doom to sort itself out. :lol:

If there are any cheap Jackbox games I'd grab them - they're generally massive TA differences but not hard to beat if you know how to set up a few windows at a time.

2, 3 and 4 have all been on Game Pass, that's when I've done them.

I missed 2 coming up but that's how I've done 3 and 4 as well.

I'm not going to be able to add to my total before cutoff now unfortunately. Hopefully you guys will see us through.

Sorry guys, I didn’t manage to make it to twenty rare achievements - think I wound up with 12 or 13. We are just squeaking through as it stands.

I managed to chuck in a few hundred more points from FIFA 21. Looking a bit better now

We made it through to week 3 guys! Don't sweat not earning the bonus Cora, not using one is as good as earning one as far as i'm concerned :toot:

The cutoff this week seems to suggest the scores needed to survive are going to get silly, very quickly! That said, I should have a good bit of time in the evenings this week to get us off to a good start.

Congrats guys, well played. I'll make sure I throw some more in next week.

The challenge this week is to get 8,000G between us, so I guess the name of the game is to pick up quantity over quality this time!

I can definitely do that, lots of low hanging fruit in my backlog but if we want to make it through we’ll need a bit of both. I could probably do 8k on my own this week with the junk I have

Oh mate I've got about 100 games worth of shite in there I could make up, but I'm going to be playing through Doom: Eternal and going through the Dead Rising 2 series(2, OTR, CW) to try and make up most of my 2,000. Then I can grab a few easier high-value targets to make up the rest.

Are we going for the 8000? I have some easy achievement games to knock out quickly if we are, but I realise that's not going to help the overall team score much. Would it be better to just go for some high ratio stuff instead?

Yes, I'll be pushing for a 2,000 point score this week if you guys think you can make it there. I've got Doom to batter through this weekend and have made some good progress on DR that I'll continue. If all else fails I'll grab a reasonably quick win game from the store that has a decent ratio if anyone has any suggestions.

I don't suppose anyone fancies going through the final boss of DR2: Case West on co-op tomorrow or Sunday?

After spending much of the week in the elimination zone i’ve added a few hundred points in that’s temporarily put our heads above the water. Is it 8,000gs as a team? If it is I imagine that will take care of itself as we try to survive and if it’s tight I can add a quick completion but i’ve been focusing on ratio as we still need a lot more points to get through.

Unfortunately, I don’t think i’ll have time for co-op shenanigans this week but i’ve been following your lead Cora and hitting the Jackbox games and there’s still more to mine there. I have 1-4 and Drawful 2

Do you guys know if you’ll be able to add to your totals before tomorrow? I can kick on today and get up to 2,000 or so if we all think we can get out of this and avoid the elimination.

I think I've put in around 1500G, but it's mostly low level stuff, I'm unlikely to find much more time so I think high ratio stuff would be better to get to safety rather than chasing the bonus.

We probably need at least 2,000 more ratio difference for us to stand a chance. I can chuck in a good bit more but that gap is to big to bridge on my own

Sorry dude, just finding it difficult to get any time in front of the box at the mo. I might be able to get Carrion done later, that'll help.
