More trophies

  Spent even more time playing Skyrim last night polishing off a couple more trophies and quests I had not finished. For those interested I'm now at 2505 trophies with the bunch I got from the add on content for Skyrim. I use a trophy tracking web site to work out which ones I have left to get and the best way to go about them. Part of that web site though are the stats from people all over the world, just over a million on the one I use. When you get to look through the stats of other people I realise even though I play a lot I play nowhere near as much as some people in the world. There are people with 5000 or more trophies or have played 300 plus games. I've only played 78 trophy enabled games and probably 20 to 30 or so that don't have trophies. It is staggering how much some people play.

  Then again you don't know who these people are. Spoiled kids with far too much time on their hands. Bachelor nerds who do nothing but play games. Or just an account that is shared between several people like some of them admittedly are. For a normal guy like me who works, spends time with his wife, watches TV etc I suppose my level of playing games isn't too bad. Still I'm proud of what I've "achieved" playing game beyond the enjoyment I get from doing so. It is my way of saying "look how good I am at this" really. Or in some cases "look what I was bothered to do" considering I shun the multiplayer side of gaming due to the amazing amount of internet idiots it attracts. It is just a shame that there are cooperative games that could be quite fun if I could find the right people to play with. Competitive stuff is kind of boring to me, I played it when I was younger and did quite well but just got bored of the same action over and over again. Fighting other people became too predictable to be honest and was a hassle. It is more fun to just go up against a computer, which can be very predictable but comes without the annoyance of other people.

  Well, that was a waffle about nothing wasn't it? Just trying to take my mind off of this moving stuff for the moment while we wait to hear back from various appraisers, testers and inspectors. Lots of other people doing things that we need the results of at the moment.
