I don't want to play Portal 2 but can i hug you anyway? Actually, i can play it and can hug you if you still need people?

Why do I now have a vision of me walking around with a McProley hanging off me leg?

I appreciate the offer though matey – I guess i'll leave it to you guys to sort out, as if it means that Youles has to do less in the way of creating profiles or whatever, then that can only be for the best surely?

Again though, depends whether you have played before i guess… At the end of the day, all i now need is two people to molest me (or that i molest), one of which needs to be a virgin.

Lol – McProley and I did all the co-op stuff together (as always – he's my gaming buddy) so he's in the same boat

 

Well if you can make one of those times I mentioned then I'll help you out mate as I think McProley's on shift over the weekend, but if you can't perhaps he can help you out next week?

Sounds like a plan. I'll message you both on PSN when i know when i am free. Cheers guys.

Appreciate the offer mcphatty, but Youles was kind enough to run through the calibration with me on Saturday, with a celebration of a bit of a cuddle afterwards, so i am actually done with the co-op trophies now. In fact, i am actually done with all of the trophies now, as i dedicated the remaining hours of Saturday (after going out to watch The Avengers – Awesome movie) to getting the remaining trophies done. Thought it might make a nice 50th plat.

Thanks to cnutard & Youles for helping out to get those co-op trophies done (& thanks to McProley & mcphatty for the offers of help too).

I have to say as well that whilst i found my first run through a hilarious & mostly enjoyable affair, it did make me feel a little bit like a dumbass, as i constantly got stuck – Thinking with portals was a problem for me for a while! What was supposed to be a short game (2-4 hours depending on the review you read) actually took me somewhere around 10 hours to complete the first time i think. It wasn't until i played through the co-op & went back to the singleplayer to get those trophies complete that it clicked just how brilliant this game is. It's exceptionally well put together – Everything from the pacing to the characters in the game is pretty much on point.

I am of course happy to help out if someone needs a partner (better now than in a few days when i have traded it i suppose), but to be fair, you might be better off going with a random than me, as my short term memory is bloody awful  (as both cnutard & Youles will probably attest to) & i usually stand looking around going "errrrr…", "ummmm…", "hmmmmm…".  … Even if i have literally just done it! 

Until i remember in a week what i was supposed to do, as my long term is actually spot on!

No worries Forrest, well done for getting all the coop trophies! Were the time and death limit ones hard?

Not exceptionally, but it did help that i had a fantastic guide in cnutard. However, i think that they are probably very doable once you have run through them once or twice to get the feel for where you need to be & when. I also found that communication is definitely key – You have the ping tool to help, but it is much more of a help if you can ask where you should be & what you should be doing (as i did many, many times!).

The 'no deaths' one was much harder than the timed one though, simply because you have to go through the last level without making a mistake (well, a mistake where you die anyway), but it's definitely doable, just a bit frustrating if you get through to the 8th chamber & someone slips off a ledge or makes a mistake with a portal placement or something.

But if i can do them, i can confirm that anyone can!
