Triple FAIL

Yep, my second Bingo challenge was my first EPIC PHAIL. I gave up like a coward. This is mostly because I'm sick. AGAIN. I should have listened to my mommy and not gone to fetch my mail wearing shorts in bad weather. X_X As such, I am enervated and cannot focus too hard on gaming.

I also had a lot of problems with some of the trophies, so for my next challenge, I am going to do a few things:

1. Put Catlateral Damage and Portal Knights in the Fail Closet for now. Portal Knights... I can see why only 0.2% of those who touched it went all the way for the platinum; THIS GAME IS HARD AS STEEL. Trying to unlock ten more lands is much harder now that I have defeated the first boss and entered the land of Yellow Portals, which take 18 Portal pieces to open. And with everything three-shotting me, it's not going to be easy to farm those portal pieces. :( The other game... well, I still have 17 more Objective levels to complete, 5 mice to catch, and a lot of pain and suffering ahead of me. I want to limit the number of button-mashers for the time being, so please bear with me. These games will come back, but not in the BINGO challenge.
2. Put more pressure on Oceanhorn, Dragon Quest Builders and the Sly collection. The sooner those easier games earn their platinums and are out of the door, the sooner I can focus on my March lineup, which is going to bigg'un. :)
3. Start up my third 100%er non-plat. It's a big longer than the last three titles so I need to get started before my 40th platinum is earned.

On the plus side, this Bingo fail allowed me to finally push forward and platinum Buff Knight Advanced so you'll never see its trophies again. ^_^

Second BINGO Card

So here is my second BINGO card, which is more complicated and more time consuming. I added in the Sly Collection on Vita because I needed some easy platinums and the Sly games are pretty good even if they have some cruddy parts to it. :)

I also made a bit of progress!

Basically, I earned both of the Digimon Story trophies. The RNG nerfed my favorite RPG and gave me a lot of PS4 trophies. Oh well., it was pretty easy to get these two trophies but I wanted to spend some time to start work on my great Digi-Team. Too bad, so sad, the BINGO must be observed. :(

Trophies Earned: Third-Rate Medal Collector, Standing Room Only

First Triple BINGO!

So here it is, my first Triple Trophy Bingo! It was a bit of a struggle but I got through it okay. Here are the BINGOS I earned:

• Fourth Row Down: Catastrophe(Catlateral Damage), Level 99!(Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth), Time to clean the litterbox(Catlateral Damage), Well Behaved(Catlateral Damage), Super Decorator(Dragon Quest Builders)

I finally went into Dragon Quest Builders and popped Superior Decorator by going back into my Cantlin Save, creating 90 torches and placing them over and over again. The three Catlateral Damage trophies speak for themselves. It was fortuitous that they mostly landed on the same row as I was able to knock them out with a couple more trophies, getting ever closer to that Catty Platinum. ^_^ Also earned one of the only two Digimon Story trophies that got earned, sadly. I knew I was close to Digimon Idol(10 Digimon with max ABI) but not Close Friend(30 Digimon with max CAM) and I wasn't getting close to Cubicide to get another column BINGO. :(

• Middle Row: Level 10!(Portal Knights), Major Mess Maker(Catlateral Damage), Train Wreck(Oceanhorn), Time to clean the litterbox(Catlateral Damage), Reached Chapter 9 (Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth)

The other Digimon Story trophy, but by the time I was done I managed to struggle all the way to the end of Chapter 19 so it was fun. My first playthrough long ago was ended by getting rid of the game before I even started Chapter 10, so forcing myself to make a team of Rosemon BM, Ophinamon and a Platinum Poopface(XD) to get through the tougher bosses in the last chapters was really satisfying and I finally got the whole story. ^_^ I had earned all of the Catlateral Damage trophies in this card which was great. Train Wreck took a while because The Great Forest didn't have many opps to push a crate on an enemy's head. It took me a lot of luck to get a Zelda rip-off enemy(the wiggly guys with no feet) to move into position but I did it. :D

Also, the only Portal Knights trophy that got into a Bingo. I did earn Mass Production once I figured out how to craft the other crafting stations but all it took was a ton of wood blocks. Sadly, Cubicide lost out because 5396 mines is NOT quick. I don't even think I got to 1000 mines. :(

• Left Diagonal: The Warrior: Ventus(Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix), A legend in this hand(Disgaea 5), Train Wreck(Oceanhorn), Well Behaved(Catlateral Damage), Fantasista(Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix)

Nice to see two Birth by Sleep trophies on the BINGO! The Warrior: Ventus was the last trophy that got the triple Bingo. It was the only option - by the time I was commited to it, Ven only had two Finishes he needed - Heal Strike and Stratosphere, and it was easy to farm for Heal Strike now that he had the Second Chance and Once More Combo, I just sent him to take hits from Monstro's lackies in the Mirage Arena because you don't get a Game Over if you get killed. After that, I just completed Olympus Coliseum and used the area to farm enemies for Stratosphere. Fruitball was a pain, I lost to Chip and Dale of all things! But it was all good. There were a couple of shares but that's to be expected in BINGO.

So that's it for this card. I am going to generate a second card, but first, some honorable mentions - the trophies that missed out:

1.  Handy Crafter (Dragon Quest Builders) - Sadly, I didn't get the trophy even though I did individual crafts on the crafting stations and barbecue grill. I know I'll get it eventually but I wanted to pop it early. Oh well. :(
2. Digimon Idol (Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth) - I knew I had at least six Digimon who had 100 ABI but it probably means you need to have them available, and I fused and loaded out a couple so I might have missed my chance.
3. Bonus Master (Disgaea 5) - I ran out of all of the Filler items before I even got past 26 One-Time Bonuses but I am sure I have a few from other stages to make up for it. It will require a lot of stage grinding to make the Alchemist produce enough Filler G to get the remaining 25 One-Time Bonuses for this trophy, which wasn't happening now.
4. Justice and Dark (Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix) - Don't get me wrong, I do intend to do this trophy, but obtaining the Pete D-Link is SO RNG because it's only avaiable through Command Board and I want to get the remaining Command Boards before I try this. Once I earn the Pete D-Link, you bet your arse I'll use it ten times!
5. Bomber Archeologist (Oceanhorn) - Sadly, I knew I had only blasted less than 5 walls.
6. Cubicide (Portal Knights) - Also, I sadly knew I had not even gotten more than 800 blocks mined, this is an amazingly tedious grind even though I have a drill that mines four blocks at once. I will need to craft bombs as blowing up blocks counts towards this trophy.
7. Redeemer of Rimuldar (Dragon Quest Builders) - I will complete Chapter 2, but this wasn't a great time for it. I intend to platinum this game eventually, and I'll even make it my 50th plat.

 And the trophies which got eliminated by being earned:

1. Rapid Racer(Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix) - At least I never have to worry about Rumble Racing for the first playthrough again. (I know I have to unlock Castle Circuit for Terra and Aqua too, give me slack.)
2. Enchant Beginner(Buff Knight Advanced) - Hopefully more Buff Knight Advanced trophies will be placed in the next card. I at Level 6 now but the red troll is impossible to kill!
3. Mass Production(Portal Knights) - After a lot of wood blocks, this trophy is now honored with not being in future BINGOs. :)

So counting the Triple Bingo and any extras I got while going for it(and I got a few), I dropped from 160 unearned trophies to 119. What a great drop! I hope to get more in my future BINGO runs! Ciao for now!

Update 1

Update on my card:

1. February 18: Took out the two mini-game trophies in Birth by Sleep after getting Ventus to Disney Town are what seemed like forever. Also knocked out a few Unversed Missions and the first four Ice Cream Beat songs on Begineer mode as well as cleared the Royal and Hunny Pot boards in Command Board for the Command Board Conquerer trophy.
2. Jumped into Catleral Damage and cleared all of its trophies on the card. Didn't realize I had been so close to those goals. Earned a few more trophies while I was at it. ^_^

That means that I almost have one BINGO. Once I earn Seasoned Decorator, that's one BINGO for me. Need to drop out of Digimonstory, though... XD

Trophy Triple Bingo, Card 1

So I decided to try something new to get me back into the groove of trophy hunting, so here is a nice little game I play called Triple Trophy BINGO.

Basically, you fill a BINGO card with trophy names and try to earn those trophies in a way to complete a row, column or diagonal. For Triple Bingo, you have to fill out rows, columns, diagonals or a combination of the three three times and you can only win if you get three full clears of one of those things. It can be three rows, three columns, both diagonals and a row or column, or whatever.

So here is my first triple BINGO card. Basically I used an RNG online to randomize the spaces so I wouldn't try to cheese it and cop out with an easy win.

This is what I have so far. I put in icons to denote completed slots.

Platinums #1 - 10

January Life Lesson #1: Never trust anyone who takes control of your computer and says your computer is being infected by a virus with the name of a Pokemon. :(

*If I get a Black Screen of Death for the platinum shot, I'll use another trophy screenshot*

#1 | Clockwork Tales: Of Glass and Ink
January 5, 2018; 11:47 PM

Steampunk adventures

Point-and-click hidden objects

Artifex Mundi

The first platinum on this account. I decided to go with all of the easy platinums I had in my backlog first before doing anything else. Clockwork Tales was the first Artifex Mundi game I played and I had been reluctant at first. This is a really nice entry to start you on the Mundi trail.

#2 | Enigmatis: The Ghosts of Maple Creek
 January 7, 2018; 2:39 AM

No ghosts in this game
Artifex lied to our faces
Detective mystery

The nicest thing about this game is that every trophy up to the platinum is pure Gold. There are no Bronze or Silvers here, meaning you will get a flat 540 points. I loved the detective with amensia who slowly recovers her memories. Yes, every Artifex Mundi main story has you control a female main character, which is another plus in my book.

#3 | Eventide: Slavic Fable
 January 7, 2018; 2:25 PM

Fairies of folklore

Save your granny from a goat

Magical flowers

I am a big fan of mythological and folklore and this game hit a tone with me, dealing with strange magical creatures from Slavic folklore like the Lesshy. It feels like a fairytale.

#4 | Lost Grimoires: Stolen Kingdom
January 7, 2018; 4:01 PM

Alchemy rules all

Don't be fooled by your mentor

His plans are sinister

Yes, that's three platinum trophies in one day. To be fair, these games were really quick to platinum.

The alchemy system was a nice addition and break from the adventure. Finding the ingredients for a spell was nice. Also, they added in dialogue options which was interesting.

#5 | Lara Croft GO
January 8, 2018; 9:49 PM

Wish I played Tomb Raider
Then again, breasty Lara

Is not my sex type

This game is very easy. You can follow a guide or just use the Hint option to cop out. The only tricky part is making sure you can mouse over the jars to break them open and get treasures for 100% treasure completion. It's easy to miss them.

 #6 | My Name Is Mayo (PS4)

January 11, 2018; 11:23 AM

Mayonnaise is a

condiment for sandwiches
Not a stupid game

I did not have any screenshots so I snapped a photo of one on another account. I don't care for the quality because this game is maindlessly stupid. I hope Green Lawns or whoever created this are not proud of themselves because this game didn't deserve to have a platinum. I deliberately stalled on the game screen so I would never have to have this as my fastest platinum.

#7 | Nubla
January 13, 2018; 11:39 AM

This is about an

Oniric elephant

Yeah, I don't get it 

The weirdest game I have every played and the shortest. Other than sitting through the five minute long credits, this game seems to fly by despite it taking 40 minutes to get everything. The only missable things are the relics, and if you pick the green-haired boy, you can get all of them. (The other buys cannot get one relic in one room which is behind some steps.)

I know this is a school project for a Hispanic college, but it's rather short and almost everyone has the platinum for this game as a result. :p

#8 | Grim Legends 2: Song of the Dark Swan
 January 15, 2018; 5:00 PM

Dragons, fairies

And a dark curse of swan lore

This is a deep tale

Why did I plat the sequel to the first game first? Because the first game takes a long time and I had horror stories about it. Even so, I do like this game a lot. Having a different companion helper in each part of the game shows how diverse the puzzles are.

#9 | Lost Grimoires 2: Shard of Mystery
 January 16, 2018; 10:35 AM

A magical tale

 About a mirror-trapped witch

Don't get too caught up

The sequel of the first Lost Grimoires was pretty nice, but the alchemy mini-game was annoying as heck(I think it's based off the Azkend 2 puzzle game) and took a while to master. Still, it wasn't too tough and there was no bonus chapter in this game either.

#10 | LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham (PS4)
 January 16, 2018; 6:08 PM

Batman, Superman

It is all DC to me

LEGO Games, easy

Conan O'Brien was proud that I got the platinum trophy on this. I did the DLC before then too. The DLC episodes were okay for the most part. The races were tough, and the grinding for quests for so boring it made me cry. Still, I am glad the voice acting is spot-on, hearing Harley Quinn yelling was something I never get tried of. ^_^

Disgaea 5 progress

This is basically all I have left to do in Disgaea 5. The Bonus Master is easy but time-consuming. The rest are both time-consuming and hard.
