So far so good I guess? I actually planned to assign a game to each challenge, but as I started doing this, I also started completing them right away. So before I'll get a real mess in my screenshot folder, I decided to post update with what I have. I have an idea for most of the challenges already, but I can't find anything for challenge #56 so far... However there are like 3 weeks left, so I'm sure I'll find a Freeware or sth that'll let me get drunk{XD}.
 
I can do most (?) of these. Is proving it with pics part of it though? Also, with the "stab enemy in back", can it be a throwing knife or a slash? Also 2.0, withe E-L, is that just the E & L, or is it EFGHIJKL ?
What is meant by the skeet shoot a bird?

I just read the very end of this and immediately thought, "Oh, he needs a drink for some of these, too." But not.. quite what you said at all. lol.

  • Yes. You need pictures or videos to prove that you did it; no honor system here, haha.
  • Can't answer the second one for sure, but I'd assume it's okay if it's a stabby thing and it goes in their back? I dunno. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  • The third threw me (and a couple others, I've noticed) through a loop, too. It's just a game that begins with E, and a game that begins with L. I know, it looks like E through L to me as well, lol, but it's just E & L. :pink_smile:
  • And it literally just means to shoot a bird. Pretty much anything that will let you fire a projectile at a bird and kill it, and you're golden.
 
Just two more to add for now. I wanted to put these up last night when I did them, but my internet blew up trying to accomplish #5 in BF4. :pink_tongue:
