Milestones Aplenty On Record Day

Two months ago, I completed my best day in terms of Xbox statistics and without noticing the 20th of the month has again become the best but this time in a lot of instances.

The day began with Fruit Ninja Kinect with the unlocking of Edumacated (20G) for reading a fact about each fruit in the game and before going off to bed, I went on Fruit Ninja Windows 8 and unlocked Fruit Annihilation (20G) for killing a total of 10000 fruit.

The morning session began with a range of games from the Kinect Fun Labs range beginning with Build a Buddy and the first unlock was Buddy, Can You Spare A Dime? (10G) for sharing ten times while Multiple Personalities (5G) popped up for building all eight buddy personalities.

Build A Buddy Pro (10G) unlocked for building 25 buddies and became my 22nd completed game so I moved onto Googly Eyes and unlocked Staring is Caring (10G) for sharing ten times.


Optometrist (5G) looked in for trying out every configuration of eyes while Googly Eyes Pro (10G) unlocked for creating 25 puppets and became my 23rd completed game.

Continuing the Kinect trend, next up was Avatar Kinect which saw a single unlock in the shape of To Be or Not to Be (10G) for posting ten soliloquies of great social importance and in doing so completed current TA goal of 114458 points, a strange score but was the total needed to beat my total points accumulation in 2012.


Kinect Me was up next and Chameleon (5G) unlocked for shooting with every background with Celebrity (10G) popping up for sharing ten photo shoots.

Kinect Me Pro (10G) unlocked for posing for 25 photo shoots and in doing so became my 24th completed game and the third of the day so I moved on and went onto Bobble Head and soon unlocked Baker's Dozen (10G) for sharing 13 times.

Dress Up (5G) unlocked for dressing a Bobble in a costume and was swiftly followed by Costume Party (5G) for creating Bobbles using every possible costume.

Bobble Head Pro (10G) unlocked for creating 25 Bobbles and meant that I reached another big milestone by notching up my 25th completed game. Next up was Kinect Rush Snapshot and the first unlock was A New Me! (5G) for completing my first scan meaning it became the 300th game that I unlocked an achievement on.


A star is born! (5G) unlocked for posing for my first photo which was swiftly followed by Hello. World (5G) for my first share.

Pixar Fan (10G) unlocked for taking a photo in every world while Photo Expert (10G) shot in for posing for a total of 18 photos and like the previous Kinect games it continued the completion trend by becoming m 26th completed game and completed my goal for the year of completing 26 games overall and nine for the year.

Kinect Sports 2 was next up and a quick unlock came in the shape of  Calling the Shot (20G) for completing a pass after calling an audible in Football while Grand Slam (20G) smashed in for hitting a home run with the bases loaded in Baseball.

 A quick go on Kinect Adventures saw the unlocking of Davy Jones' Locker (30G) for participating in the reward ceremony for Sunken Treasure which was followed by a quick go on Dance Central 3 with a single unlock in the shape of Up to the Challenge (20G) for completing a player challenge and took my overall achievement completion to 37%.

The night ended with an hour on Body and Brain Connection with three unlocks beginning with First Intermediate Level (20G) for completing an exercise at Intermediate level while Seize the Day (25G) popped up for completing 'Today's Exercises' three times and took me to 31 for the day a new record.

The record was extended overall to 32 but on the Best Days went to 31 as the FNW8 achievement earlier had been unlocked offline and didn't have a time stamp so First Advanced Level (20G) for completing an exercise at Advanced Level created a new Best  Day of 31 unlocks and the second time in two months from Oct 20-Dec 20 that I had hit 30 achievements in a single day.
