Ok...so here's the deal...
I don't think anything good has ever come from that sentence when used at the beginning of a letter. And, it's no different here. Remember when I so boldly gave the prediction that I want to hit 500 trophies before 2011 hits? Well...here's the deal...As it stands, I now have 285 trophies; only 25 more than the day I posted my first blog about trophy hunting. Based on these numbers, I need to collect 1.65 trophies a day until the end of the year to make my self-imposed quota. That's up from 1.56 trophies a day as posted in my original blog. It looks like I'm losing ground. My dark passenger has been dormant for a week or two now. The drive and passion have subsided. Why? How the hell should I know? I can't always control my impulses and "urges". So give me a break. Maybe it can be attributed to the heat we had recently and I have just been to darned tired to play. Maybe it's the fact that I have been catching up on (the excellent) the first season of Mad Men. I managed to watch 10 episodes in about a week, which translates to approximately 8.3 hours of non-trophy hunting time. And let's face it, after I complete season 1 of Mad Men, I will be moving to seasons two to four. More videogame downtime.
Now, don't get me wrong, I have been trying to get trophies in this time; I just haven't been trying hard enough. I played Braid the other night and racked up four trophies, but they were just for breezing through a level without actually doing anything to beat the level. Give me a break, Braid is an outstanding game and a true puzzle of a platform game, it's just that I had no patience that night to "conquer" the levels - I just wanted to run through them to get the easy trophy without any concern about "completing" the game. Now, does that make me a trophy collector or a trophy whore?

For Southeast Asia, new price changes.
Prices effective starting May 1st, 2026.
Replies(1)Looks like PlayStation took a hit with Marathon and is now quietly adjusting prices worldwide to recover the losses
Lets be honest raising prices doesn't do that when no one's buying it. I imagine the profit it greater selling 10 times more at a lower price
The price increases are due to the RAM demand associated with AI and the US-Iran war. You can look to any business news website and local news to see that. Heck, even the 2026 Asus Zenbook Duo I've been eyeing has faced delays and has had a price increase of $400; that laptop has two specs. Asus is doing a staggered release with per-orders for the lower spec now and shipping in May and pre-orders for the higher spec that I'm eyeing starting in June. Basically, all computer manufactures are affected. It'll most likely start affecting smart phones too if it hasn't already. I can't remember the last time any major console maker (Nintendo, Sony, Sega, etc) increased the price of their console mid cycle outside of Microsoft just to make more profit.
CGMagazine writes: "And as I said, the actual game of Kiln is so genuinely boring that playing it to unlock the creative tools was such a massive chore that I genuinely started to resent it by the end. Battling is a monotonous button masher. There are only five arenas, and despite being based on different gods from various mythologies, none are particularly memorable in visual style or music. And it’s all just such a homogeneous mess of nothing."
I just got 40 trophies yesterday including a platinum
Spaces between your paragraphs would be awesome :)
