I’m scratching my head (figuratively) for to what to write for the intro this week. So maybe a little housekeeping instead?
Unfortunately it seems that the comments went a teensy bit crazy last week with Steven promising me and/or my toeshoes away to Wonkey-Willy and MadJunkBoy. Sorry guys, these weren’t really the prizes for spotting the lone PC game in the photos. There was no prize!
On the flip side, I’m still all eyes and ears for suggestions as to what could be added to this Sunday morning slot. Just make a bit of a racket in the comments below if something springs to mind, please.
If you thought last weeks giant pile of games was impressive, Sitorimon is out to set the record straight. In lieu of a more extensive set of photos with his whole games collection on show, he’s passed on a video which scrolls through his entire PS2 collection.
It’s 11 minutes long!
This was actually a video he created last year to see if people could figure out the origins of 50 pieces of game music. Do you reckon you know what they are? Well even if you don’t, skim through and see what is a huge slice of the games released for PS2. What on earth could he photograph that would go beyond this?
As always, if you’d like to have you gaming gear and gubbins featured in the Chronicle, just use the submission form at the bottom of the page to send stuff in.
After a busy time of it last week, it seems that things have quietened down quite a fair bit again. There haven’t been any more fastest Platinums rolling in, and I’m sure people are eagerly awaiting the next Call of Duty, Medal of Honor and so on for a trophy list you can blast through in short order.
Speaking of which, Crazy_Del has his Medal of Honor Platinum, just a short two years after launch! Cam_manutd did manage to Platinum the somewhat aggravating THPS HD and Wolf_of_Chaos has his for Borderlands 2. Element666 and several others have 100% for Hell Yeah!,
We also have a completely new guys on the forums! B_Cambo is even new to that whole PlayStation stuff, after being a Xbox gamer for half a decade. First Platinum? Uncharted 3. Good choice!
I leave you with some tales of misadventure that were emailed in. First up Wonkey-Willy clattered his way through Spec Ops The Line on PS3 in just two and a half hours, before (for some reason) switching over to the 360 version to grab intel and plot changes…
I bring us to a close with Sympozium’s breathless sounding submission:
Got the trophies “Beyond Good & Evil” basically finish the games story (SHAAAADOW!!! why) and “Heaven and Hell” Where you have to raise both hero and Dark Chao. Both Silvers which kind of sucks that was Sonic Adventure 2 which sadly is the only time Sega got it right…….Grr.
“Sweep the Leg” Destroy your first Hierarchy Walker in Universe at War which is rather a nice RTS though doesn’t have a sequel yet wtf.
Oh, but just before we move on, a big congratulations to Allan_Treebeard, whose sole excuse for not playing many games this week was that he got married and went on his honeymoon instead.
I’m sure we can let him off the hook, just this once…
As I said last week, that was the last time Comment of The Week will appear without likes to help me along. Trawling through nearly 1500 comments to find a few samples of comedy gold is no easy task!
So for now, the Comment of The Week award will stay with Forrest_01 and CC_Star for their outstanding work on making an iPod sound like a “sanitary towel”…
As ever, I leave you with the submission form to send me photos (or video) of your games collections and set ups, or drop some excited details about an accomplishment!
Sympozium
My grammar is amazingly terrible, so proud.

UNBELIEVABLE COLLECTION!
I haven’t heard of Shin Megami Tensei: Lucifer’s Call before. Is that only a European release?
Thank you again, Teflon, for the photo feature last week and apologies for any confusion or headaches. lol
Sitorimon
It’s called Nocturne elsewhere I believe!
The Lone Steven
But it’s in your contract that you can be given away as a prize as well as your beloved toeshoes. Besides, it’s only lunch with MJB. Wait, it’s only lunch with MJB. WHAT HAVE I DONE!? *flees to the bunker*
I suspect i will complete MGS3 today as i’m at the point after the torture. :) Then will start PW if i have time today.

My vote for comment of the last week, which I tried to highlight for attention was tactical20’s Lingalong…..awesome lyrics and choreography :P

There were a few magical comedy pieces from bunimo, but some were in the General chat forums, which aren’t included…I don’t think.

Hmmmm, ideas for the Community Chronicle…
I know you used to do a full article called ‘Meet the Reader’ i think it was? How about doing an extremely smaller version of that, say a couple of paragraphs, and add it into this?
Ummm, you could also get members to say, submit funny, or interesting photo’s of themselves each week, and you could display the best one? Just to portray the community? Although, you could combine this with idea number 1. :D
The only other idea i can think of is for members to submit their own game fanart, whether it be a doodle or a masterpiece? Although, i don’t know how many members are secret artists, but you could encourage funny sketches as well? I know i’d be up for that :D
And Sitorimon, I would probably say that’s an EPIC collection, however i can only see a black box :D
Crazy_Del
Whoo thanks for the mention lads. Yeah Medal of Honor was still fun and it still is. I am in the mood for Warfighter despite hearing negative feedbacks on the game. Still there’s Assassin’s Creed III, NFS: Most Wanted and Black Ops 2 very soon!
*Goes back to Platinum old games……*
Oh had a quick bash on Resistance 2 Multiplayer, its still active which I am surprised!
R1MJAW
No platinums for me this week but I have 100%ed Joe Danger 2.
B_Cambo
Hey guys just want to say thanks for the mention and warm welcome! Unchanted 3 was fun highly enjoyed the game play. Hope its not to long before i next Platinum, should be The Amazing Spider-man in a couple of days (If work doesnt slow me down to much!) Thanks again.

Just take a day off. They’ll understand, I’m sure. :P

I’ve always quite liked these features – Mainly because they sometimes feature me! :)
I quite like the Rig pictures, but i suppose that there is only so far it can go, as you’ll just be repeating stuff once you have gotten to the end of current members that are prepared to submit a pic.
I would submit one myself, but it’s a pretty basic setup & VERY PS3-centric! Not a great deal of variety to be found here (apart from the 100’s of games i haven’t finished of course)!
I have to be honest & say that i don’t tend to mention any of my own accomplishments in gaming where possible – Purely as to me it feels a bit like bragging & i am always hyper aware that there may be someone out there that just cannot complete that objective, or get that trophy to work. As far as i am concerned, my pleasure or excitement should not lead to misery or disappointment for someone else. Not knocking anyone that does mention stuff of course, it’s just not something i can personally bring myself to do, no matter how pleased i may be.
As a final point (with regard to the comment of the week), did i not see that Al mentioned he could add ‘likes’ back in? Is this actually happening soon, or is it on the ‘to-do’ pile?
It must have been a nightmare trying to trawl the site for something witty, or a mention of a nomination for a CotW!! So i’ll bet you’ll be glad once they are back! :)

Oh man, I totally sent you a picture of my game collection. Total snubbery!
