An update and probable failure

Or: How I managed to ruin my goal for the year.

Yes, it seems that despite all of my good intentions I am destined to trip myself up and generally make things more difficult than they should be. Basically in order to hit my target of 93% completion before the end of the year I had to resist starting any new games and then I would be able to snag enough achievements to get it done.

Unfortunately I then went and started Halo 4, which wasn't too bad as I managed to grab 43/49 achievements in just a few days AND I'm over halfway through my solo Legendary run plus I only need 8 more challenges for that achievement too. After doing those bits I'll just need the three Spartan Ops tasks once the relevant chapters are released and the game will be done. Yay! Probably won't stay as a completion for too long as no doubt DLC will be en route - but hopefully that will be held off until I hit 300k and my game completion goal. So, Halo 4 was a blip but one that I overcame.

Until I went and started Lego Lord of the Rings. DAMN! I got an early review copy and figured there was no point going through the game twice on two separate accounts so went and threw it on my tag. I'm hoping to complete it relatively quickly but even if I do so AND complete Halo 4 and ODST (giving me the three completions I need to hit 300) I'll only be left with about 300 points to play with (before hitting 300k) and will still need 28 more achievements to get up to 93% completion. That would require me to snag ONLY achievements worth ten points and under from games I've already started. A tough ask.

Barring me scouring my list and picking out 28 such possibilities I really can't see a way to accomplish said feat. So I guess I will just have to hope I get as close as possible.

My current outstanding list (excluding titles I can't get any more achievements on) is therefore as follows:

A mere 37 games long - with a few that am fairly close to completing if I could just find the time. I'd like to get this list down to about 30 games (or less) by the end of the year, but I very much doubt I will find the time to do so.
