   Really well organised set up! Love the handy bit of DIY for the wheel and pedal stand :P Wait that’s a real guitar, I might be being a bit stupid here but how do you play it with rocksmith?

     Well done on finishing The Unfinished Swan (if that’s possible?) I only have the Minimalist trophy left, which I’m finding frustratingly difficult!

       I actually managed to do it first time! Just turn the volume up a lot and listen to your footsteps.

     Rocksmith is designed to use real guitars rather than toy guitar controllers.

       Perhaps because you didn’t know that it uses real guitars? :P

       Doesn’t Rock Band 3 have a similar mode?

     Yup, only the real thing works, it has a special guitar to USB cable that comes with the game, you can even use the EAGB strings on your guitar to play the Bass add on DLC that comes free with Rocksmith UK.

     Ta, that’s only really half of it, there’s a bookcase full of games from several consoles and accessories. I also forgot to include a pic of my working Amiga 1200 with the games I kept for that!

   Nice to get a mention in the Accomplishments for TDU2. :) It certainly was an epic battle due to the ‘temperamental’ servers!!

   Congrats Del on the 10,000th trophy. Brilliantly judged as well to make it the ‘Get A Life’ trophy. ;)

   Nice gaming rig there Freeze. I especially like the homemade DFGT wheel mount!! Good to see GT2 as your choice of PS1 game. That and Colin McRae Rally were my two most played games on the original PlayStation.

     Yeah GT2 was awesome for it’s day, and a good step up from GT1 also loved the Colin Mcrae’s and Toca Touring car games!

   I managed to complete the Darkness 1 with a controller that had it’s right analog stick possessed. :O Oh and can we not encourage the filthy trophy whore to get more trophies as it’s a crime against nature thus anyone who has a plat should be shot or forced to play ET. :P

   Thanks Teflon ^^
   Great write up. Awesome Rig there Freeze wish I had a wheel and pedal for racing, but no space for me lol.
   Congrats to everyone on their Trophies/Platinums especially BBB’s TDU2 as that game is dead to me! =P
   And damn Youles and McProley for being lucky with Tower of Babble early rounds (><)
   Good luck to others out there though!

     There is one thing that you can never do with trophies del and that is hold the record for having no plats. :D Yep, no plats and proud!

     Yeah wheels do take a massive chunk of space especially if you use them regularly and keep them set up. One solution that you could go for might be the wireless laptop wheel without pedals from Logitech, but I don’t think it’d be as precise as a wheel and pedal set…not sure?

       There is that company that makes some really nice collapseable wheel mounts for £70, I think. I forget the name, but they’re really nice if you want to keep everything easy to tuck away.

       I think they are by wheel stand pro or something like that, they look fine as long as they fold with the wheel still connected, I doubt the wheel clamping system would last too long if it had to be detatched each time the stand was folded away. Certainly a thought for Del though ;)

   A nice set up Freeze! What, may I ask, is the shredder for? Is that a new form of rage induced disc snapping?

   And yeah, Del you’ve definitely earned the top spot on the leaderboard. 10,000 trophies is incredible! I’m only just approaching 5,000 :(

     Crazy_Del 03/02/13, 15:22

     5,000 is a great milestone. Perhaps should get a life trophy as 5,000th Trophy xD

     Haha, no it’s just a handy foot stool when dualshocking, although one or two game discs in the past have come close!

   Not sure if i should ask Del because of his immaculate platinum list or freezebug because of his racing wheel so i’ll ask you both…
   Do either of you recommend a racing wheel or a Dualshock when attempting to platinum certain racing games?

     Crazy_Del 04/02/13, 00:11

     My racing Platinums were Dualshock but I am struggling to Platinum NASCAR 2011 and Gran Turismo 5. Been told using Wheel on GT5 are very accurate than dualshock, but I never own one. Had a wheel for N64 I think lol.
     But that depends on the kind of racing game, say DiRT its an arcade style so DS pad. GT5 is SIM Racing hence the wheel for great driving experience. It really depends on what racing game.

     freezebug2 04/02/13, 07:39

     Totally agree with Del. Arcade racers use a Dualshock and for sims use a wheel.
     I found it impossible to get past bronze or silver in the GT5 Vettel challenges with a pad but managed to gold them using the wheel being far more precise.
     I find a Dualshock more precise and far easier to control cars with arcade racers though.

     @Del DS is fine for the NASCAR 2011 platinum, never bothered with the wheel.

       I still can’t shave off a second or 2 from the times (><)
       Maybe more/advance tuning perhaps. Will keep trying freeze.
