About Me


Please Stand By.
Hi there, I am just another bored gamer, like many other in here. However, I am going to deliver you some hardcore stuff and you'd probably like to know why, who am I, to deliver something more hardcore than other people. It's simple - I live in Poland, place where, I'm afraid, nothing has ever been done properly.
This was suppose to sound epic, I know I have failed in my efforts. Oh noes.

And BTW - my nick should be read as "Spayk". "Spajk" is just written phonetically from Polish.

PSN ID - the same as nickname here - Spajk

PS. Terribly sorry for all the mistakes, if something is not clear, gimme a sign and I'll at least try to explain :)

Kitchenworks: Uncharted 2 Platinum Trophy.
Spajk | 4:46 PM on 10.23.2009 3 comments




Hello and welcome!

So, it's been a while since I have written here something a bit longer, I guess it's time to strike back with triple cornflake sideway kick: what would you do if your router would ruin your chances to get Uncharted 2 platinum trophy? Friend of mine said that he'd wait for an opportunity to move his equipment somewhere closer to the router itself so that signal strenght would increase. I asked him when would he to this, and he replied "I dunno, in a week or two, I'm patient". Thing is, I am NOT.

There were only two bloody trophies left - Thrillseeker (Complete one competitive online game) and Buddysystem (Complete one cooperative online game). I swore like a million times when my PS3 was keep loosing connection, even despite 82% signal strenght. But when "DNS ERROR" hit my screen, I thought "Enough of this shit". I took my new PS3 slim, my 23" Samsung and moved my ass into the kitchen, ordering everybody else to get the hell out of there (I have two girls here, so I they had a little alternative - TITS OR GTFO. Unfortunatelly, none of 'em found this option amusing), because I need to get this platinum trophy. And guess what, my voice was scary enough for them to move out very, very fast.



I was prepared to strike the PSN with my awesome skills and so I went online on PS3, ordered the system to search for the game, and then... Nothing happend. I got older waiting for my bloody connection (in theory it's 5mbps, yeah, 5mbps, my ass) to sync with Naught Dog servers. After I literally absorbed 2 liters of Coca-Cola (hell, much better than pepsi), I decided to restart this search. And guess what, the exact second I did that, my list of players filled in no time. BTW, I am really disappointed that save from the Multiplayer Beta is unreadable by the game, online level 35 has gone to hell... Oh well, nevertheless, I played one game in competitive mode, then I spent another eternity waiting for someone who wanted to play in coop, and I finally found them. After we have finished the game, time seemed to stop. After having some problems with Uncharted 2 trophies I was praying for the system to get what I just did. Dust was falling on the floor making a lot of noise, universe collapsed and rebirthed like 8 times and finally I saw this damn notification saying "You have earned a trophy" with platinum on it.



Here I am, starting to celebrate my success. I called everyone back into the living room and restarted the little party I have ruined. Whole thing ended up around 4 am, with me singing "All Along The Watchtower" from Battlestar Galactica Season 4 on the balcony. I admit, I was a bit drunk, well, 3 big glasses of Johnnie Walker Black Label did it's job and indeed made me feel even better. After this epic event I went to bed where I turned on my netbook just to discover there is new Mega64 Podcast and I have to listen to it. And so I did. This day ended with sending some crappy msgs to my friend, who (fortunatelly) didn't take them too seriously, and so I can still sleep at her house tomorrow, when her parents will go on a trip. I gotta feeling that next night is gonna be a good night :D

Once again, thank you for reading, any comments are appreciated.

Take care, play a lot! :)
