Do these things bottleneck? I tried for days to get the "Jack of all Trades" trophy to pop on Warhammer 40K Space marine and it wasn't having any of it! So I posted on the forum and asked about and decided I'd been doing it wrong. Took my revised instructions from the online community away and tried again. Nothing!

Then this afternoon without warning it appeared, along with 2 other trophies at the same time. Strange days.

So why the trophy blog? New Year I was on 636 trophies. My New Year resolution was to get my trophies up to 1000 by the end of 2012. I don't usually worry about them but after going for a couple of platinums last year I decided this would be the year of the average gamer!

Then my wife pipes up with a bet. £100 for 1000 trophies by the end of the year. By my reckoning thats 1 a day. Not difficult by anyones standards. As of today (15th March) I'm on 755. Now the big question is do I cheat? By cheating I mean doing things like buying Where the Wild Things Are and spending 4 - 8 hours getting the 50 odd trophies on offer.

I'm on the fence. I don't need to cheat. Maybe I'll buy a copy and keep it up my sleeve just in case. My gaming drops off drastacally in the summer so I might just need an ace in the hole.

Watch this space. I'll update my progress as I go.
