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!!!

SmarTrip Users Can Now Reload at CVS & Giant

Excellent!     Sent to you by tony via Google Reader:     SmarTrip Users Can Now Reload at CVS & Giant via DCist by Sommer Mathis on 6/16/09 Metro formally announced today that SmarTrip users can add value to their cards at select CVS and Giant Food stores . Last year, WMATA made SmarTrip cards more widely available for sale at CVS and Giant , but now customers can also choose to add money to their cards at both chains while they check out. Many CVS stores actually began offering customers the ability to reload their SmarTrip cards back in April, while Giant has only started to test the sales devices at eight area stores. The grocer will likely add 42 more locations later this summer. Not every CVS or Giant has the new SmarTrip reload technology, but a lot of them do. Consult the list of participating stores to find the one closest to you. The change means that SmarTrip users need no longer necessarily wait in line to access Metro's machines insi...

That Darn El Gato!

Still trying to get the hang of "phoning it in" to blogger.com. This is one of my roommate's cats. Like all cats, he likes to get into things, stand behind you when you're doing something important and then take a nap. Ain't he precious? Saw the preview for this movie; I was skeptical about it when I heard that they were making another one, but after the preview, I'm gonna plunk down 10 bills for this one. And of course, there's Beyonce... Good night everybody! http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/thepinkpanther/index.html

Ma'am I'm not a hero, I'm just doing my job!

I wrote this in response to a friend who posted a blog entry about heroes a few days ago: When I was a young boy, my aunt would let me and my sister go to 7-Eleven; it was one of the few areas we were allowed to go by ourselves. Generally, I was there for a Slurpee, but once a week, something magical would happen: the 7-Eleven would receive new comics!!! Oh joy! New comics! Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Hulk, Captain America, the X-Men and my favorite, Spider-Man. Yes, for the longest, he's been one of my favorites to read and even though I don't buy comics anymore (are you kidding me, look at the price tag?!?) I still casually read it when I'm in my favorite bookstore and occasional, I'll buy graphic novels. He's been my favorite for several main reasons: 1-He's like me. Oh sure, he was a teenager by the time I started reading but I understood what it was like to have a good day at school but a bad day at home. Or a good day at home, a ...
