Man, I never fight Stamper in non-balloon mode. He's just too crazy.

My strategy has always been to attack Stamper right out of the gate - more often than not you can get a very good juggle on him. Then allow him too balloon up. Jeff is very easy to avoid while you whack at the defenseless Stamper. His fart bubbles are also very easy to avoid.

I usually try and juggle Stamper when he falls out of balloon mode. It's a 50/50 chance at this I find. If he gets good counters going I'll just run away and avoid them until another ballooning.

Once Stamper is toast Jeff is easy pickings. Knock him down, then run away (if you're low on health). You can even feed him a few bombs if your score is relatively high and you've got close to max bombs.

I don't think I've ever taken Jeff out first, unless it's one of those incredibly rare instances where I manage to get them both in a big juggle.

Once you perfect this method, you can knock Jeff down every now and then while Stamper is ballooned, so the solo fight against Jeff is a little shorter.

They need to add Medals into the FAQ.

SWEEEET!!!!

Sorry if I ask something that is completely obvious here, but for Thing-thing arena 3: Are all the amount of kills with one weapon that you need for certain achievements added up over all games or do you need 100 kills in one match with that certain weapon?

I would have to assume it is per match. I don't think it tracks your "overall" progress at all.

Also:

Word of advice from reviewer BenelliM4:

Read this if you are not getting your achievements: If you get an achievement, you must die in the area you received it in or it does not count! Do not hit "Quit to Menu" if you want to keep your achievements! I made that mistake more than once and it cost me alot of time.

In case anyone misses it.

Hmmm, I waited until I was killed before waiting a few minutes and closing the box, and none of my achievements have been tracked. I'm going to wait a few minutes, since a lot of people said that their achievements hadn't appeared until a while after they unlocked them. I'm hoping that this will work, seeing as I unlocked about four medals.

i think bunny invasion 2 should have some that would be even funner

Yeah, I'd still expect some glitches to occur, especially when medals are so new to a game. There's bound to be some coding hiccups. I'd expect that the the game's author and/or PsychoGoldfish are online right now, test piloting the medals, so if you have any concerns you might try PMing them.

Yes I found out that it is indeed per match. I just got the "Tag - You´re dead"-achievement and I know I was well over 100 deaths overall with that weapon.

As for the advice from that reviewer. I am pretty sure I did quit to menu when I got the "Execution" achievement and it did count on my list. But I am not 100% sure because I am half asleep right now, so better not run the risk I guess... =/

Who knows, maybe they changed it in response to said review. Maybe the reviewer's computer was having trouble with the flash.

If you find you can get medals even after quitting, then go for it. I haven't played it with medals yet, so I dunno if a "medal achieved!" thing pops up when you get 'em... but if it does (it probably does), pause the game and open a new window/tab to see if your profile also updated.

I agree with this

they should
that would help new users learn about them quickly

I'm sure that it'll be added to the FAQ and prominently promoted once the system is bug-free and available to the public (though hopefully with some sort of selection process to screen out spammers).

I think I'm going into a love/hate relationship with medals, myself. I have a completion OCD when it comes to video games, so I need to either get them all or resign myself to the fact that I'm never going to beat Alkie Kong on brutal mode...

At first I figured I'd never get the Over-Achiever in P.D., but then today I rocked it in like 45 minutes.

So i guess it's all a matter of commitment/practice.

Though the major point medals in AK2 are pretty fuckin' crazy. =)

How do you get the Execution medal in thing-thing?

Slam the 'F' key while attacking at close range. It'll happen eventually. Also, while executing someone, you are invulnerable and your health will start to go up. I've already got 150 kills in a single match, lead pipe ninja and the execution medals on my first try.

Do medals pop up as "achieved!" in Thing-Thing? Is there a restriction on what "mode" you play?

I just went at it for a while, and certainly "earned" some but nothing transferred over to my NG account.

Hmm, they simply not responding. Interesting.

Oh well, I'm sure it'll work itself out at one point.

You have to die in the round you get the medal in. You can't just quit out or restart it. Dunno if that's the problem but my medals have worked fine.

Oh, and congrats on 100% Portal Defenders.

easiest way to do an execution is to whack 'em over the head with a lead pipe while tapping F over and over...
executions are awesome...

Yeah, I posted that reviewer's comment, though some people claim to have gotten medals when restarting.

What I'd like to know is if medals will "pop up" when you get them in-game (or when you die, whatever) so I can better diagnose my situation.

All of my medals, I've gotten in-game as a scrolling pop-up.

They've just popped up for me when I got them. I also got a score bonus with the same name as the medal.

Quick question here. Whats the point?

I think he means what's the point of the medals. And they're like Xbox 360 achievements. They prove how much of a man you are.

How do I unlock Artifact 19? From looking at the description in the game guide I thought I would have to get all the achievements for killing 100 enemies with each weapon, but I got all those and I don't think I have Artifact 19. It didn't say I unlocked it or anything, and I haven't gotten it in a round.

Wylo needs to fucking calm down with the achievements, jesus he's almost done Thing Thing aswell?!
