MvM's World, Entry #8 - 48 In 5

I set what still may seem like an impossible task and goal for my self as a gamer, but dammit I am having fun, and that's all that matters. With that said I have now racked up 48 trophies in the first 5 days of this month (Today doesn't count yet, as I am at work and haven't played any games yet.....lol). Will I hit my goal for the month?

210 trophies does seem like alot, but broken down that's only 7 a day. So after today is over, based on that factor, I need to be at 42 (nice!) trophies. Seeing that I already have 48 and haven't even played yet today, I feel good about my goal so far.

This will also when done, bring my platinum total up to 19. That is one less than my yearly goal of 20 I set for myself. Looks like Gamer42 is still in action my friends! :)

Here is the 48 I have racked up so far this month:

04 Trophies - SingStar (Goal Sheet Complete)
02 Trophies - Press Your Luck (5 Left On Goal Sheet)
12 Trophies - Sonic & Sega All Stars Racing (5 Left On Goal Sheet)
11 Trophies - BTTF - Episode 3: Citizen Brown (Game Complete!)
19 Trophies - Disney Pixar’s Up (3 Left On Goal Sheet, and will be Complete / Plat #15!)

The rest of the month is still a huge amount of time and will see me not only nabbing those last few left for the above games, but also completing the following games to 100%:

14 Trophies - SBCGFAP Episode 5
28 Trophies - Dante’s Inferno [Plat #16]
36 Trophies - God of War [Plat #17]
35 Trophies - God of War II [Plat #18]
41 Trophies - Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands [Plat #19]

Wish me luck guys, and I will keep you posted! :)

MvM's World, Entry #7 - TroHo / Gaming Update

Man, I better get going on this or I will never hit my goal. What started off as a stellar year in beating and completing games, as well as earning trophies, I seem to have hit a stale period as of the last month or two.

March still holds as my best month netting me over 200+ trophies earned, as well as completing a dozen games. Now I seem to have fallen behind once again. And just when you think my GameFly subscription should be helping my troho score, I have actually made it worse for myself.

When you have a sub with GF, and you have it for 3 games at a time, the last thing you would think about is having to buy any games. But alas that is what I did anyways. Now my backlog is huge! (Does that sound dirty at all? lol)

To start off, I have to stop buying games that are in my GF queue. I had rented the Sly Cooper collection through them, and once I had beaten the first of the 3 games on the disc, I decided I loved the games so much I would just keep it. So I made my purchase with GF (Free Shipping FTW!), and got my case and manual sent to me, and it was done.

Then I made the dumb choice to upgrade. Lets face it, 2 games at a time was more than enough, did I really need 3? Probably not, and to make it worse, after upgrading, I kept buying!

 Next came the Tomb Raider collection, then I bought Mini Ninja's (another game that was on my Q), then saw Dante's Inferno at Walmart for cheap. Then I grabbed Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing for cheap at Gamestop. Not to mention I still have a copy of the God of War collection I borrowed a few moons ago from my boss at work.

Whew!

Ok so on my own, I have at least 9 games to Plat and complete. So with that said, I am reducing my GF account to 1 at a time for now. Going to keep GF just to throw some randomness into the mix when I get tired of Action/Adventure/Platformer's. That seems to be the bulk of what I keep buying.

It also doesn't help that I finally finished modding my Wii, and now have a 1TB HDD attached to that bad boy with over 100 Wii games, plus emulators and a shit ton of Roms. But that's another story for another day.

Damn I am just overwhelmed with all the games I am trying to get through. Bit off more than I could chew? For sure. But rest assured, I am still shooting for my end of year goal..... 20 Plats, and 2000 overall Trophies. Only 6 Plats left to go, and....... around 750 overall trophies left to go? Yeah, I have my work cut out for me. I better get moving!
