Where are the trophies?

Finally finished "Heavenly Sword"; now I can get to "LittleBigPlanet"!!! But before I do, I few words not so much about "Heavenly Sword" but about PS3 trophies in general...or the lack there of. My friend Andy has an Xbox 360. I don't mind it although the humming ticks me off sometimes. I'm used to a PS3 controller, I like "LittleBigPlanet" and I'm soooo looking forward to "God of War 3"; these are several reasons why I prefer my PS3 over a 360. But, if there's one thing that the folks at Sony must change is the amount of games that have trophies; they must add more!

I just bought a used copy of "Assassin's Creed" for the PS3. I enjoyed the game play on the 360. I was very impressed by the graphics and the ability sneak up on baddies an execute them.

Beautiful.

So, imagine my surprise when I crack it open, pop it in and find out that there's no trophies. None. I loved the achievements on the 360 for said game, but none for "Assassin's Creed" for my beloved PS3. WTF?

Which brings me back to "Heavenly Sword"; nary a trophy to be found. Hell, just about all of the downloadable games (I've spoken at great length about "PixelJunk Monsters", so I'll spare you, the one and only reader of this blog) that I've purchased have trophies and they're dirt cheap to boot. Honestly, after playing several levels of "Assassin's Creed" on the 360, I never thought that I'd actually miss the trophies, but when I go home and pop in "Assassin's Creed", and kill 50 guards with my throwing blades, I find myself expecting a little reward. And, I'm actually bummed out when nothing happens.

The good news is that because it's a PS3, they can add these trophies in later. But I'm not holding my breath. I may just have to give up the ghost on this one.

I'm officially hooked on trophies; from now on, it's trophies or collect dust on the shelf!!!

Is it me or is she getting better looking?

Here's a new clip from Wanted , which is partly stuff that was already in the movie's trailer. But it gives a bit more detail on exactly how Angelina Jolie manages to drive a car while being splayed out on the hood and shooting at a truck. And in case you were still in doubt that this will be a very, very cartoony movie, wonder no longer. [ MTV Movies ] Jolie also posed for the latest cover of Vanity Fair . It's not really a spoiler, but here it is anyway: View Original Article Pulse...quickening...hard...to look away... Damn you io9 , it's very hard to get any work done with distractions like this. I hate you Brad Pitt, you lucky sumbitch! But seriously, I rented Midnight Cowboy a few weeks back and came to a very disturbing epiphany; Ms. Jolie looks EXACTLY like her daddy (Jon Voight)! I mean, the eyes and the lips are his! Everything else is her mama, but not the face; the features work much better on her, that's for sure. http://www.wantedmovie.com/ Blog...

Shoveling. Snow. Saints!

The last eight days have truly been the stuff of legends! First, the snow on Friday! As many of you know, I was born and raised in Alexandria, VA. Aside from the four years that I served in the Army, I've spent roughly 32 years of my life in the familiar surroundings of traffic, traffic and more traffic. That being said, I have NEVER EVER seen anything like this. One could make the argument that there was the blizzard of '96...but I was still in Georgia at the time so technically, this is a first for me. I gotta say, I love snow. Not the shoveling, but the sound of snow falling; so quiet, so serene. Truly a thing a beauty...and the fact that I missed several days of work because of it doesn't hurt. I also didn't miss the fact that we lost approximately 20 hours of power in the first 48 hours of said snow storm. Honestly, I didn't mind it so much. We lost power at 10PM which conveniently became bed time! You'd be amazed at how tired you suddenly feel...
