When we last met our fearless and heroic trophy hunter we were introduced to a man with an addiction. A man with no fear. A man with a taste of victory. A man who was sober. In this episode, we pick up approximately four days later and trophy collector man (that's me) is sitting in the exact same chair, at the exact same table, where he hashed out Part I of his dark passenger chronicles. Let's find out what he's up to now.
I sit in this same chair writing this blog as a cartharsis to my ever growing ADDiction to trophy collecting. The need comes from deep within. It does not want to leave. I crave trophies. I need them to carry on. I need the excitement I feel when that little "bing" sound happens and a rectangular box in the upper right corner of the TV tells me of a trophy I have received. Soon as I get the notice I immediately pause the game and head over to my mantle where I keep all my trophies; or rather I head to the trophy section on the XMB crossbar and sync up my trophies (why the hell is syncing taking so long?!? I need to know now!) to see what I have just conquered. Ah-ha! I have now broken through 10 fences out of 240 and received my first bronze trophy of this game. However, this just feeds my lust for more trophies. If I've collected one then five should be a breeze. Then ten. Then fifteen. It never ends...my "dark passenger" (thanks Dexter for putting a name to it) needs more to feed on. It needs more trophies. I even bought Frogger Returns because I knew it had trophies (but, only four).
My previous blog Part I - Addiction mentioned my goal of collecting 500 trophies before year end. After re-reading the blog, I thought, "what the hell have you done?" Did I honestly think I could get to 500 before January 1st? I need to get 1.56 trophies each day for the rest of the year. Am I out of my mind? At first thoughts, yes, I am. But, after only a few hours of gameplay in the past four days, I have quickly racked up 26 trophies and my total now stands at 275 (see my portable ID below). Wow! That's 6.5 trophies per day. At this rate, I would end up with 1,250 trophies! Awesome! But, at what price would I pay to achieve this? Would I have to sign a deal with the devil? Doubt it. I don't think he's into these kind of contracts. I would definitely need to buy more games, which costs money I can't afford to spend. After all, I am married...with children. So, my "dark passenger" must be content with the original goal of 500 by year's end. "He" has no choice but to accept this. I cannot, nay, will not, let my trophy collecting run my life. Although, I am drinking a REV beverage while writing this (think Red Bull meets a dash of blueberry juice and vodka). So, maybe my "dark passenger" is running my life...
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
I'm a college kid. I got a gamefly account last semester just for trophies. I buy exclusive games and third party games but I rent out the average or iffy games. I refuse to play hannah montana for trophies though. That is just sad. Don't give in to that temptation ps3gamergroup. Trophies that easy could cost you your soul. lol. Or at least your pride.
games that are cheap with fair trophys crack in time jurrassic the hunted tomb raider underworld thats 100+ trophys right there
