Where has the time gone?

I'll tell you where.  Call of Duty:Black Ops.

I am very much addicted to playing online.

I need help.  Maybe an intervention. 

Forget about earning trophies.  I must work to improve my K/D ratio.

Prestige once....not enough....Prestige twice....still not enough.

I think I need a new headset so I can communicate with my teammates....we have to win!!!!

Disk no longer needed for Netflix on the PS3

Not that having to use a disk to watch movies through my PS3 was a deal breaker.  But I am glad that I don't have to swap out disks any more.  Just last week Netflix made the announcement that you could stream movies without swapping a game disk out and replacing it with the Netflix disk. The download was pretty quick and the install was quick as well.

I opened up a movie real quick and it worked fine.  Nice job to Netflix and PS on this one.

Pushed my trophy total to 92

My efforts of trophy domination have not let up.  I've switched games again.  This time to Burnout:Paradise.  I have earned 13 trophies so far.  There are several that are pretty easy to earn.  I've systematically been trying to earn them by focusing my efforts on the different ways to earn trophies.   

I've enjoyed playing the game so far but I'm thinking of switching games again to earn some more easy trophies.  I have not picked out a game yet.

I'm also going to try to add a few more people to my PSN friend list but I'm going to try to be somewhat selective by making sure they are close to my trophy totals.  Although adding someone with a huge trophy total might make me a little bit more competitive...not that I need that.

More trophies

Since I've started playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance I've added 19 more trophies to my collection.  I have created that gap I wanted between myself and my online nemesis.  I played through the game on the easiest level and have started paying through again on a more difficult level hoping to pick up some of the trophies that I might have missed the first time through.

Right now I have 79 trophies to my name.  I hope to increase this number significantly by the end of the month.

Trophy laggard

So I've owned a PS3 for over two years and I only have 67 trophies.  I think I spend to much time playing COD online.  On a whim I played Little Big Planet the other night and made a friend while online.  They had 69 trophies.  Upon noticing this I felt a competitive rush surge through my Mountain Dew infused body [no it wasn't the caffeine.]  At that moment I knew that I had to crush my new friend's trophy total.

I started by looking at my trophy collection and determining which games I would have the best opportunity to earn several trophies in a short time.  Reading through the Little Big Planet's trophy list I decided, based on the description, I could knock out a few really quick. By the end of the night I earned three new trophies and had passed my new online nemesis.  That was my first goal.  The next goal is to put a sizable gap between us.

After further analysis of my game collection and available trophies, I decided that beginning tomorrow would start playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance. 

COD:MW2 Prestige

I've been sitting at level 70 for several month, unwilling to give up all the hard earned weapons and equipment.  This weekend I've decided to bite the bullet and prestige.  Oh how I miss my favorite weapons and attachments.  I have not had a long kill streak all weekend.  I did, however, have my longest win streak.  My prior long win streak was 10 and my current best win streak is 13.  I don't know if that has anything to do with prestige or not but I'm glad to have increased it. 

PS3 version 3.40

Last night after volleyball on the beach and a quick shower I headed to the basement where the PS3 resides. I fired it up and loaded MW2 only to discover that Sony required me to do a system update. So being the loyal PS3 owner I ran the system update. At the time I had no idea why there was an update waiting to install.

Probably the biggest new feature is the Playstation Plus premium online service. I'm not sure that $49.99 per year for cross game chat, some exclusive demos and trials, and access to the Qore premium video series is worth it. But I'm sure some people will take advantage of it. The beach bum in me says save the $50 for something else. A new game perhaps.

Other features include a beefed up Facebook on PS3, the ability to upload pictures and video to select sites on the Internet.

Not entirely impressed.  I would rather see the ability to switch users within a game.  Instead of having to reload a game that another users had been playing.  But that's me.

MW2 kill streak still at 20

I can't seem to get past 20.  I've set me kill streak rewards to Harrier, chopper gunner and nuke.  I've been having trouble getting to the Harrier kill streak.  I have not earned it in the past week.

FYI, yes I'm still obsessed with this game.

PSN down?

Wow...this sucks.  My PS3 doesn't connect to PSN.  Initially I thought that my PS3 had a big problem.  I did some research and discovered that PSN is down.  It has something to do with the date on my PS3.  So now I can't play my current favorite Modern Warfare 2.  So I guess I'll play a little Fallout 3.
