New internet speed
Written by MetalHead84 on 2017-11-24 15:28:05

Starting yesterday, I got a new internet bundle with decent speed that will let me stream at a good and even stream online game without lagging. I don't know yet what my streaming schedule will look like, so the best thing is to follow me to get notifications when I'm online :

22 platinum!
Written by MetalHead84 on 2017-08-21 11:28:29

Long time since an update, I'm not chasing trophies anymore as I'm really addiected to a single game since over a year, but yesterday I got my 22nd platinum, on that game, which is Smite.
After over 1000 hours played that must be the platinum I'm the most proud of.
I'll probably start posting more here since a lot of new games are coming out and I'm also close to 2000 trophies in total

New year, new goals
Written by MetalHead84 on 2016-01-04 13:08:12

So 2015 is behind us, I hope I will play more in 2016.
Boardgames side it was decent, but for videogames I had a slow start, with only 20 trophies at the half of the year. I manage to cross 200 trophies thank to a lot of new game at the end of the summer.

Now here's some goal for 2016 :
Trophies : to have 300 trophies, which will bring my total to 2101. I have some unplayed game (The Last Of Us, the collection of Uncharted that I have received for christmas), also some upcoming game, so I'm confident that I will achieve it.
For boardgames, I want to reach 300 plays, right now I'm at 230, I also got a couple of new boardgames, and I have more friends that want to play, so that will help.

Happy gaming in 2016!

20th platinum
Written by MetalHead84 on 2015-11-16 09:00:14

On saturday I reach the mark of 20 platinums trophy, it was also my 5th on the PS4.
It was for Rocket League. Not a difficult one, it was cool to play the game to get most of the trophy, but having to grind to play 165 games to get all the car parts was really long.

500th PS4 trophies
Written by MetalHead84 on 2015-09-30 08:12:53

2 days ago, I got my 500th trophies on the PS4.
It was on Dying Light.
I hope the next 500 will take me less time, but with more game coming out, that will probably be easier.

A couple of weeks ago, I have post that I will start streaming, and needed to make a schedule for that.
So, if everything is going well, I might be streaming on Monday and Wednesday, from 9PM to 11PM, and perhaps on Friday for the same timeframe.
If I'm doing it on Friday it will mostly be on NHL for a couple of weeks, as I'm playing with some friends, the 2 other days will be different games.

Twitch streaming
Written by MetalHead84 on 2015-08-19 15:31:25

I recently start to stream on Twitch, and will shortly add a section about this on the page.
For a while I will stream Dying Light, Ironclad Tactics and some other game when I feel like playing something else.
Since my girlfriend is not working yet (parental leave), I don't turn on my mic, but most of the time I have my laptop near me, so if you ask me questions, I will answer on the chat. Next month I should have my mic on, but be advise that I have a big accent, being a french guy.
I'm usually streaming from 9h30PM to 11h00PM during week days, and a little bit later during weekend.
If you want to follow me, here's the link : Twitch - MetalHead1784
I don't have a lot of upload speed (1 mbps), and I'm currently testing it, so if you see something wrong, just let me know

Near 20 platinum
Written by MetalHead84 on 2015-08-18 15:58:42

Last week I got my 4th platinum on the PS4, and I'm now at 19 accros PS3 and PS4.
The game was Mercenary Kings, really cool retro game, but a lot of farming to do. I have complete almost all trophies at around 48 hours, but got the platinum around 65 hours of playtime. That 20 hours was to redo missions to get materials and get the crafting related trophies.
Now I will be focusing on Dying Light, so if I can get some players for the co-op trophies, this might be the 20th platinum.

Some boardgame news
Written by MetalHead84 on 2015-06-04 16:19:16

Since I don't play videogames that much since a couple of months, I thought it will be great to add a boardgame news in the blog.
Every 2 months there is a boardgame night at our local store, and the last one (this past saturday) there was a tournament of Pandemic Survival.
There was 12 teams playing, and the winner will be going to the National tournament at the next Comicon in Montreal.
It didn't start really well for me and my girlfriend, so much of the game we were behind and it stayed like that for much of the game. We have finish in 8th place, but it was really fun to participate in the tournament and I hope there will be more.

Also, I'm looking to do a game night at our place every 2 months (the month that there's nothing at the local store) with some friends and co-worker, this way we will be able to play more often with our boardgame.

There's not just trophy in the game world
Written by MetalHead84 on 2014-12-23 09:39:28

As the title say, there's not just trophy for a reason to game. Sure with a playstation or an xbox, that's an incitive to get the most out of a game, mostly when you aim for a platinum or 1000gs.
Since a couple of months I was looking to buy a Wii U, but wasn't able to decide if it was worth it or no. Last weekend I decide to buy it, and so far I really like it even if there no trophy/achievement.
It's really fun to sit in familly and play some relax game, instead of mostly focusing on achieving everything in a game.
I'm also trying to get my 4 years old son to play, and he seems to like the Gamepag a lot.
I will still hunt for trophy on the PS4/Ps3, but perhaps a little bit more as we have this new console.
Feel free to add me to your Nintendo Network, MetalHead1784.

1500 trophies
Written by MetalHead84 on 2014-10-15 09:10:40

I have set a new milestone a couple of days ago, I have reach the mark of 1500 trophies.
It was a trophy from Pix The Cat, a little fun game and it's free for this month if you are a member of PS Plus.
That also means I have reach my goal for this year, what help me is that on most of my vacation this summer and last week it was raining almost all the time, so I had a lot of play time.

This is Trine!
Written by MetalHead84 on 2014-09-08 11:13:34

Over the weekend I got my second Platinum on the PS4, for Trine 2.
Really good game and I'm glad it was free with PS+ or I would probably have missed that game.
If you like plateformer and puzzle game you should give this a try.
Next up will be Destiny, that I should receive tomorrow, let's hope the game is as good as I expect it to be.

Another milestone
Written by MetalHead84 on 2014-08-16 08:07:42

Long time since my last post, I didn't play that much over the summer.
Since in the last days it was raining here I decide to try to finish Watch Dogs.
I'm now at 1400 trophies, just 100 away from my goal for 2014, so with some new interesting games coming out in the next month, it will be easy to reach.

Some new milestone
Written by MetalHead84 on 2014-03-22 09:04:18

On thursday I set 2 new milestone on my trophies hunting.
First I reach 1000 bronze trophies playing Call of Duty Ghost, and shortly after that I got my 1300th trophies, also playing Call of Duty Ghost.
So now I'm a little less than 200 trophies away from my goal of 1500 by the end of 2014
