The only reason I haven’t played LBP yet is that the monitor that I had the PS3 hooked up to is being repaired now. The only other monitor I have will not work with the PS3 through DVI. Hopefully I get my monitor back soon. If not, I’m sure there are plenty of other games we can play together. I wish I had a HDTV right about now….

I feel your pain with this, after having my Xbox offline for over 6 months because of a expired debit card in the account, that I could not get removed. (But that’s a story I am not going to get into because it could fill a serious of books with more volumes than there is Final Fantasy games.)

To keep it short when I finally got back online my profile needed to be downloaded from the Xbox servers and all my achievements form the last 6 months got wiped.

To add on top of it, a lot of games seem to use your achievements to check if you have done something in game, so in halo for instance, most of my skulls are gone and I need to go back and get them again.

Other games have remembered what I have done, but the achievements have still been wiped, so I have done the task to get the achievement but I don’t have the achievement I can’t do the task again to get it.

hehe. I was just giving you a hard time, n0wak! ;)

I have headsets, I just need to find one that works with my PS3 before I go online with LBP again. I’m sure if I bribed people around here with pizza and/or beer (beer to be paid AFTER goals are accomplished) I might be able to get more stuff. I’m not sure it’s worth it though! All that headache for some gaming doo-dads so I can get a digital trophy (and make more visually interesting levels so I can MORE digital trophies and <3 from the community). Might not be the bestest idea ever.

The real problem is the lack of a headset. Would make it easier. And I’m sorry for the slapping, but I only did it when idle for, like, the two minutes it takes to type “hi” in the PS3 softkey.

I did play a decent four player game with a couple of people last night with my sister — got some 4-player co-op items — but, yes, it’s easier in person in the same room.

The 100% achievement should come with some sort of real monumental prize, like, they mail you a bobblehead or give you a $10 rebate or something. Getting a 100% achievement in most of these games that offer it is nigh impossible unless you’ve got more free time than an autoworker in the jobs bank.
