AlphaJax Spells As Saints Row IV Becomes Complete

Deft Doer Achievement in AlphaJax (Win 8)An early morning catch up on AlphaJax saw the unlock of Deft Doer (10G) for playing 100 moves across all games.


Fourth and FortyLater on I continued my pursuit of finishing Saints Row IV as I needed two final achievements for completion and early on Fourth and Forty (40G) clocked in for spending over 40 hours in the Simulation. A long day of effort on challenges and activities spanning six hours climaxed with the unlocking of The Challenge King (30G) for completing all of the challenges and my final scenes can be seen in the following video...


So Saints Row IV becomes my 10th retail completion and 20th overall completion as some previous completions have received DLC which has uncompleted' them and hopefully will be re-completed in the future.




Saints Row IV Story Climaxes In 250th Post

Saints Row IV is two unlocks away from 100% completion after a truly amazing day which saw the milestone of 75,000 G reached early on and saw the completion of the story late in the evening.

Where's My Cape?ElementaryElementary (10G) swept in after choosing a new element for all of my superpowers and swiftly following was Where's My Cape (20G) for purchasing all superpower upgrades.

How It Should BeThe Two ShaundisThe Two Shaundis (25G) unlocked for completing all Shaundi's quests and missions while How It Should Be (40G) came in for completing all open world game play across the entirety of simulated Steelport. 

Zoo KeeperOn Her Saint's Secret Service On Her Saints Secret Service (25G) spied in for completing all Asha's quests and missions and was soon joined by Zoo Keeper (10G) for killing 25 Wardens which took a lot of effort may I add.

I Am Become DeathA Real Cluster....A Real Cluster... (30G) finally unlocked after collecting all Data Clusters which totalled 1255 spread across the map and was an lot of work but the success was soon increased as I Am Become Death (30G) dropped in for killing 1000 Aliens with any combination of Super Powers.



Saints & SensibilitySaints and Sensibility (30G) linked in for completing 'Grand Finale' after having completed all 'Homie Missions' and the final achievement of the night was the nail in the coffin for the villain Zinyak in the shape of Imperator (40G) for completing 'Grand Finale' and in doing so bringing the story to a close.

So just two achievements left on the game mean playing for a total of 40 hours and completing all of the 65 challenges of which I have completed 36.

August Summary

August has done fairly decent in catching up on the shortfall from March-May and with the new release of Saints Row IV, the totals have been boosted.

August 2013 (2012 in brackets)





68 Achievements unlocked (33)
9 Games played (7)
1551 TA points* (1439)
1075 Gamerscore (820)

*includes DLC recalculation from March and is the total earned so losses not included.


A reasonable month which has continued the success from June and July so hopes are good for reaching at least some of the goals for the year.
