Well I haven't been posting much due to all the homework and finals coming up for me in college, but despite that, I thought I should post a little update on my progress in Uncharted 2. First off, I really enjoyed Uncharted 2 and I've played it for hours on both single and multiple player. I played it enough to finally get the Platinum Trophy after beating the game on crushing which if I might add, isn't easy. Nothing like been killed with a shotgun from a guy all the way across the map. Anyway, I spent a lot of time playing the game, and getting the Platinum Trophy for it just feels so rewarding. Now I just need to get to level 60 in multiplayer which currently I am a level 19.

Now I can get ready for the "God of War Collection" which comes out next week, so I can focus on getting the trophies for that game as well. ;p

Ok so today started out kind of meh. And to understand what I meant by meh, I'll have to explain the whole story. So last night I decided that it was fine to get off my lazy rear and write a 5 - 7 paged essay for my Sociology class. I typically hold of writing stuff like that till the last minute and still somehow manage to an A on my papers. Anyway, I ended up staying up till 8am writing the paper (YAY) well before I could go off to dream land, I found out that I had a dentist appointment at 9:30am to do an annual cleaning. So instead of going to bed, I had to stay up and go to the dentist. Looking back on things it was kind of silly of me to hold off writing the paper till the last minute, but oh well, whats done is done. Anyway I got home and submitted my paper and went to bed around 2am. Well I was woken up only a few minutes ago by the sound of my brother telling me tha the package I had been waiting for had arrived. At this point I jumped out of bed and rushed towards the living room. And now, this is what I receieved in the mail.

Yes I finally got the Mega Man 20th Anniversary T-Shirt signed by Keiji Inafune that I had won back in August. While I had the shirt in an area where it wouldn't collect dust or hair, I took some quick pictures of it.

The shirt was literally out of its pack for only 61 seconds (I counted :P), then it was placed back in its package and sealed before taking it to my room. I sealed the package to ensure that the shirt stayed in mint condition and of course, didn't collect any hair for the doggy in my room ^.^

Upon taking the package to my room, I quickly placed the package among the other collectable I have obtained over the years.

Pretty much the shirt is going to stay in there until I can get the funds to get it framed. Aw, turning and somewhat horrible day into HAPPY Days for me :P

Actually for a few laughs I guess I should add something onto the story. For the past few weeks I have been expecting this package to arrive. So I'll be hanging out in my living room, and I would see a UPS truck drive by SLOWLY which would get my excited. But nope, it was just driving by slowly. Now this wouldn't have been so painful if it happaned once. But for an entire week those blasted UPS truckers kept slowly driving by my house, almost as if they were taunting me. The worst one was when one stopped in front of my house and delivered and package to the people across from me T_T

With Brutal Legends and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves coming out today, I really wanted to finish up the rest of the achievements I need for the Platinum Trophy on Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 for the PS3. The achievements I had left to complete were;

Powers of Two: Gold
Perform all Fusions by combining every available pairing of 24 heroes

Above and Beyond: Silver
Collect 200 Team Boosts

Since I already had  197 out of 200 Team Boosts, I decided to focus on the "Powers of Two" achievement. The easiest way to complete this achievement is to go to the Simulator and run the "Basic Training" sim (The first sim). After you complete the training mode, you will be free to mess around with your characters and will have unlimited fusion power. They even allow you to summon enemies to train on. Since you are allowed a team of four different characters, I had one character say in and perform fusion combos while I traded out the other three with characters that had not been used yet. I did this until the main character I was playing had performed 23 out of 23 fusion combos. Then all I had to do was rense and repeat with the other 22 characters. I will warning anyone going for this achievement that it is VERY time consuming and boring. I started working on thier achievement Saturday night and fell asleep after only and hour and a half of work on it. The same thing happaned when I went to work on it Sunday night. But I finally managed to stay awake long enough to rotated through all the characters I had left that needed the 23 out of 23 fusion combos.

Upon getting the achievement "Powers of Two" I proceeded to collect the last three team boosts that I need which only took me about 10 minutes. And ta-da I got the Platinum Trophy for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. Now when I get Brutal Legends and Uncharted 2, I can play them knowing I finished the last game completely :P

For those that don't know, I hold a music video contest on my website www.rockmanamv.com for fan made music videos. This summer we had a lot of amazing Rockman Music Videos entered into the contest. And as always, we encourge people who enter the contest to be original and creative with their work (I really love it when people submit creative and original work :P).

I am proud to announce that this seasons AMV Contest was a success. Every single video that was entered was well made and you can tell that the author put a lot of time into his / her video. That is why I am happy to announce that every single video entered into the contest was added to the site for download. I even took the time and found the Youtube and Dailymotion links that were posted here on the forum. Congratulations to everyone that entered into this summers AMV contest. Now unfortunately, there can be only one winner. Judging was based upon Editing, Sync, Skill, Effort and Replay Value and based upon many other variables.

As I said before, all the videos that were entered into the summer contest were just amazing. But LYV532's Megaman My Image Collection really stood out in both originality and creativity. Its not often you see a music video done completely with still images and done right. Both AGF and myself enjoyed this video and thought that it deserved the win. Were always looking for creative and original videos to add to the site and this summers contest had tons of them. Again, congratulations to everyone that entered and congratulations LYV532, we loved your video.

For everyones convenience here, I decided to list all the videos I got this summer into the contest.

Well after taking a break from Batman Arkham Asylum, I went back to try and get the rest of the achivements for the Platinum Trophy. All I was missing for the Platinum Trophy was

Biggest Bang: Silver
Deliver an explosive knock out blow to the Joker (Hard difficulty) 

Freeflow Gold: Silver
Achieve 24 medals on combat challenges

Perfect Knight: Gold
100% Complete

Since all I needed was Freeflow Gold to get Perfect Knight, I saved beating the game on Hard Mode for last. Well I got both Freeflow Gold and Perfect Knight last night, so I went ahead and started the game again on hard mode to finish up the achievements. Well I just beat it and got the Platinum Trophy for Batman Arkham Asylum and it feels so good having completed everything. The best part about this game is the DLC that is being released for it. So far I believe two DLC map packs have been added to the game. I haven't tried them out yet, but from what I've heard they're pretty fun.
