Yeah in 2008 I had a PS3 account with my brother. With the PS4 I made my own account for PS4 exclusive tracking.

My 2nd plat, Disgaea 5 after 130 hours. I played games for over 12 hours straight and not get tired, but playing Disgaea 5 for an hour or two grinding really tired out my hands. Quite the ridiculous grind, but still fun.

Also between a 60hour plat and a 130 hour plat it already puts me as the rarest avg rarity at 11%. I know only 2 games but it is quite interesting since these 2 plats were quite easy. I guess niche gamer ftw.

Next I am working on Samurai Warriors 4 and Dark Souls 3.

After a month or so with the new format, overall are the admins happier with the format and have you realized lots of time savings? I personally LOVE the new tables.

I was trying to make things easier for Arc, and since you were permabanned it made sense for him to remove you.

Personally, I like the new system much better. I'm still making a few tweaks and some (rare) bugs might still appear, but the app is a lot more sophisticated and offers much deeper data than the old one. Also, it requires little to no manual work. You only need to push a button to force updates on PSNTL and sync trophy data, wait for it to end (it takes a good half hour, but you can put it to the side and do other things during the process) and then once the data is written onto the database, you need to refresh the excel file with the data.

After that you copy the charts as bitmap and post them here. This is the only manual work required besides pushing two buttons to refresh data and can be done in 5 minutes maybe.

As far as I know Arc would need more than a hour of active work to get the updates out, so this is a massive improvement!

There are other perma'd users on the list but they're still there.  I think it was more to do with people thinking I was FlamingWeasel and that he didn't deserve to be there. 

Yep I had my Plasma TV, PS3, and amp connected to my surge protector (cost me over $100AU), had this set-up since I bought my TV in 2008, in 2013 I added my PS4. All was good for those 7 years, many electrical storms came and went and I never had an issue and this is despite my TV being connected directly to the antenna for tv channels. But I think my mistake was NOT connecting the antenna cable though my surge protector, I figured it would be ok and I guess I was justified for those 7 years of no problems, but clearly my luck run out. Next time I'm either gonna dump the antenna cable or connect it through a surge protector (I know the surge protector doesn't protect against lighting, but at least it should take one for the team and give a higher chance of my equipment surviving).

I've already contacted Panasonic, since my TV is way out of warranty they have simply given me the details of a local Panasonic Authorised repair centre, but it's gonna cost me about $150AU just to have the TV assessed (TV guys need to come pick it up, find out what's wrong, then quote me the repair of the TV). Now seeing as not only is the power supply dead, it's possible that the main board is dead too since that's where the antenna is, so I'm roughly estimating around $500AU to $1,000AU based on some spare parts websites I've seen just to repair my 7 year old TV. Currently money is tight so when things are combined, I''m stuck in this limbo of save to repair, or save for a new TV.

I like Panasonic over both LG and Samsung, so I'm hoping Panasonic come out swinging and release a killer Oled TV, but their first one is rumoured to cost about $15kAU....I'm hoping not, but nothing official has come out yet, at least non that I know about.

I wish that Sony+Panasonic Oled venture had actually worked out, but it looks like they couldn't get their shit together which is why Panasonic is now sourcing their Oled panels from LG, so despite LG and Panasonic panels being the same, I'm thinking that Panasonic image processing hardware, which in the past has been awesome with plasma, will now be awesome for Oled.

As for 4KTV's and content, I didn't really care, I was more than happy with native 1080p on my TV from the PS4. But now with PS4k being almost but certainty, Oled TV's and it's tech gaining traction over that inferior LCD tech, with prices coming down year on year....now 4k TV's and it's content has my attention, the question for me is weather I can afford it all, and if the rumour of a Panasonic Oled costing 15k are true, then the answer is no... at least for now.

For the time being I think I'll just wait and save, sucks that I can't play my PS4, but I still have my PS3 and PSvita, so I'll have to play my PS3 on my PC monitor, or I'll just play way more vita games now....anyways, bring on the 4k  Oled TV's Panasonic and Sony!

Thank you for the update. That last platinum for me was so much fun again.

Woah 2008 trip down memory lane. Very cool. Kinda makes me want to go back and platinum some of the early games that I didn't because they were Gamefly rentals. They are bringing down my completion percentage... (looks at backlog)... wait uhhh never mind!

Noticed one error though on line 42. Alone in the Dark says 1 player. There are two who got platinum at least from the first and quikest achiever. I know I played it too, but didn't plat it - was a rental.

Anyways thanks for taking the time to generate stats like this. Great work!

there are others still there, I know at least ethomas, but there hasn't been a purge of the list lately and with the new method of how it's done Arc doesn't have to do as much work.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I only pointed out your name at the time because you were permabanned, not because of why.

yeah it's cool. i understood why i was removed i just wish i wasn't. got so many cool platinums in the time and nobody ever knew :'(
