Lets start on a high, and give away some Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon cards! If you’ve no idea what I’m talking about, in yesterday’s Community Round-Up I jumped in and added a little giveaway for these snazzy little bits of memorabilia for this crazy game. All you had to do was give us an example of something from the 80s you wish was still around and relevant. Now, there were some nice entries, but there could only be two winners, and they are…
Drum roll, please.
Seriously, you should all be doing a little drum roll on something…
The winners are:
- Broonba, for making me wish for the days when rubbish games could still be the best things ever.
- Moshbag, because everyone knows an action hero has to have an awesome haircut to go with the bulging muscles and heavy foreign accent.
So congratulations to those two. If you could please reply to my email in the next 48 hours, and don’t forget to check in the spam box!
Maybe it wasn’t the most subtly coded hint last week, but this week’s TSA Rig comes from Taylor Made. He may have seemed somewhat dismayed at having to go up against Youles’ set up, but this one is just as lovely in its own way. Over to the man himself:
Mine is not much of a rig but just a tele connected to a PlayStation. I have two PlayStation 3’s, the 120GB slim black & the 500GB super slim white, hooked up to an LG dunno-how-many inches, and an ALBA 19″ tele in the bedroom. As you can see the black PS3 stays in the living room, but the hard drive is corrupt, so it’s mainly just for Netflix and showing off, but the super slim stays in the bedroom near me in case a burglar comes, so I can throw my girlfriend at him and save it from harm!
I got the 3G vita, which never gathers dust. I hardly keep games after completing them, and since I work in a game shop we just borrow games usually. And no, my games are not in alphabetical order, which will upset some of you.
-
- I do like the words all over the wall.
-
- Back up PS3.
-
- Girlfriend Defence on standby.
-
- Argh! They’re not in the right order!
Very sensible measure to have a girlfriend to act as a decoy in case of a burglary!
If you’d like to share your gaming set up, please use the submission form below, get in touch with me on Twitter at @teflon, or just send an email out of the blue to [email protected]. If you do the latter, don’t forget to chuck your TSA ID in there, so I know who you are!
After a few busy weeks things seem to have gone a little quiet. Naturally, everyone and their girlfriend has been playing Thomas Was Alone and getting 100% of the trophies. Taylor Made‘s girlfriend, to be precise, but we also had element666 and Youles. I’ve no doubt there’s plenty more who have 100% on this too.
But speaking of our guest in the TSA Rigs section this week, Taylor has also been busy getting the platinum for Guacamelee. Not only that, but he’s been driving around L.A, commandeering cars left, right and centre to reach the rather tricky L.A. Noire platinum.
Crazy_Del found the time to take SEGA Rally Online to 100% with a little help from Freezebug, all amidst lethal amounts of Wipeout. That’s not all though, as he also completed Assassin’s Creed: Liberation to push him past the level 40 mark on PSN and took the platinum from Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters. Sounds more like a Sex and the City film, to be honest.
His partner in crime, Freezebug, finished off the Hitman HD Trilogy in platinum trophies, which let him rack up a huge 12th platinum for the year, and just in time for Hitman: Absolution to pop up on PS+.
B_Cambo wrapped up on inFamous 2’s platinum, arriving at very much the same conclusion as me, that it’s one of his favourite games of the generation. I know I can’t wait for SuckerPunch’s indirect sequel on PS4.
BadBoyBoogie took the fastest platinum for Dead Island: Riptide in quite a speedy performance, but Blackredyellow‘s efforts come in at the exact opposite end of the scale. He finished up his lengthy attempts in a snail paced 3 years, 11 months and 4 days, after getting his first. Not only that, but he took his 50th Platinum at this point.
Got there in the end!
That’s almost your lot, but you can head over to page two for the fastest platinums board. To finish off this page, we have the usual submission form for photos and accomplishments. Don’t hold back!

What is ‘Sex and the City’? =/
Thanks for the mention and big thanks for freezebug’s help *Thumbs up*
Still on WipEout and struggling to get the last 3 Golds….. But will get there eventually.
Congrats to Taylor, element, Youles, freezebug, Cambo, BBB and BRY for their accomplishment.
And Taylor love the writing on the wall.

Congrats to the winners!
Hoping to nail Dead Island Riptide and wrap it up very soon (with Tef and Ryan Martin). :-)

Nice one Tef. I have also been busy playing on my (newish) VITA (thanks Ron_McPhatty). Loving it all so far, and as expected I’ve also gotten 100% on the awesome Thomas Was Alone.
If anyone hasn’t already, then it’s worth playing again with the commentary on.
ron_mcphatty
I’m amazed it made it across the pond in one piece, glad you’re enjoying it mate :) Was it easy enough getting a 2-pin charger? Oh and out of interest what other games did you get for it?
teflon
YES! The commentary track is a really lovely little insight into how he went about developing the game. I particularly like the bits where he goes off track, as they made me chuckle to myself.
blackredyellow
Ron – I’m not! It was packed up tight. Would have done well to put a scratch on it :) Yeah, I have a whole bunch of adapters for english to canadian plugs so it’s all good.
Had a whole load of games from PS+ saved up that I’d previously ‘purchased’, so it was just a case of downloading them. Only issue is the memory. I’m off out later to buy a 16GB card. Really want to play Uncharted!
Tef – Yeah it’s great. Nice to hear his enhtusiasm, and honesty, for all the levels he created.

I like the look of the blue and white super slim, and working in a game shop sounds perfect!
MadJunkBoy
awesome setup! and congrats to the winners!
freezebug2
Good minimalist set up and the burglar decoy is genious :P
Should have been a Motorsports round up for today, it’s been non-stop racing with BTCC, WTCC, MotoGP and everything in between! Now the newly formed BRDC F4 Championship highlights are playing! :O
Noticed there is no Hitman Blood Money on the list, but I know that Hunter already had that one before me so I won’t bother submitting. That list is getting long these days.
Broonba
Cool, I actually won something. :D
Oh, and nice setup Taylor. I’m digging the blue & white PS3. ;)
Not sure your girlfriend will be too happy if/when she reads this page. :p
