So, checking my achievements on Giant Bomb has proven a little more useful, history-wise, than checking them on the WoW Armory. So here are last week's achievements in all their cut-and-pasted Giant Bomb Glory* :

Like last week there is a bit of a glut problem. Based on that and a few other factors I've decided to change the rules from here on out : the rules of the streak now entail at least one achievement per day AND ten achievements per week.
This will save me a little heartburn from meta-achievements and the many "accidental" achievements I seem to get. I don't consider getting two achievements in a day to be "breaking the streak", per se, but any easy achievement I get today could come out of the end of my streak (when I eventually run out of easy achievements).
I'm also loving the whole idea of the streak. There's no point in setting a goal that's too easy, so instead I always set goals that are too hard. A daily achievement streak is good for me because I do have trouble doing things every day (so that makes it hard) but there are a lot of easy achievements (so that makes it achievable). It also makes for a nice mix of playing the game and strategic make-believe-meta-gaming.
It's also got me through the first twenty-five levels, which means I'll probably get this character to 80. I have probably created a hundred WoW characters, but only five have every broke twenty-five, and all five of those eventually hit sixty. I made it from ten to thirty in the past three weeks, which isn't technically fast, but it is pretty fast for me, and I've been happy with my progress.
* I edited the date on several of the achievements here. WoW records the dates a little weird in that the "next day" starts at 9 PM or so.
