Scene It? Bright Lights! Big Screen! Best Actor Achievement

I left a guide for getting this achievement over on TA.  You can go here to see it if you want.  However I'm posting my guide on my own site since I wrote it all up.  8)



First off, this game does not save your progress for this achievement. Make plans to play until it pops or you will never get it. You will need 2-4 hours depending on your luck. It took me 3.

The best method for getting this achievement is by doing this:

1. Start a Fast-Fire Game and keep restarting until you get the proper Pop Quiz in your first Puzzle (I think chances are about 2% but it's still the fastest way; I had 5 proper ones in 2 hours).
2. Answer Pop Quiz questions and finish the game (you can run the clock down answering all questions wrong in next Puzzle).
3. Repeat until you get all 35 ... and the achievement.

I got this method from Flapjack waldi off x360a in the forums. I turned off the announcer as well. It does show up like he says and sometimes it feels like it will never show up. Then pop, it finally does. So you have to keep restarting until you get one. What stinks is when one does pop up and it’s not 1 of the 5 Oscar winning actors, you have to restart until you get one of the 5 Oscar winning actors. This is where the luck comes in on what you get for the time to complete the achievement.

The actors you need to pop up are: Anthony Hopkins, Dustin Hoffman, Julie Andrews, Kate Winslet, and Marlon Brando.

To help even more, here are the answers to the questions that will pop up for these actors. This way you won’t miss any.

Inheritance

I bought and I'm reading the last book of the Eragon series.  It's called Inheritance as you can tell from the title.  Definitely good so far and I'm only around 240 pages into the book.  Which is just over 1000 pages long.

A lot of people critize the game and movie on Eragon but I enjoyed them all.  The book was the last thing I did and it made it even better.

The whole series is a good read and I doubt you'll be disappointed unless fantasy just isn't your thing.

So if I miss a few nights gaming like last night, you know why now.  My nose is stuck in a book.  8)
