Introduction

I am a 17 year old Trophy Hunter, currently living in Kentucky, and I have been playing games as long as I can remember! I've never really stuck with one company, so I've usually owned at least two of the available consoles each generation. I started with the NES, and then I moved onto the Playstation when I was 6 years old. My first games for it were Crash Bandicoot 3 Warped and Final Fantasy IX, both of which are still my top two favorite PS1 games. Later I moved onto the PS2 and Gamecube, with Final Fantasy X and Super Smash Brothers Melee being the games I played the most on those. I stuck with those until 2009 when I got a PS3 just a few months before my birthday. I now currently own a 360 which is rarely played, and a PS3 obviously!

Some of my hobbies are: Playing terrible games for trophies, anime/manga, and music. I pretty much do those things all day, so I'm not really that interesting.. My favorite kinds of games are RPG's and strategy games, and my current favorite games for PS3 are: Trinity Universe, Dead Space, Demon's Souls, the Infamous series, and Atelier Totori! Some of my favorite manga are: Hunter x Hunter, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (parts 1-7), Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam, Getter Robo, Tobaku Haouden Zero, and Saikyou Densetsu Kurosawa. Some of the anime I like include: Kaiji, Gintama, Akagi, Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, Planetes, Saint Seiya, and Yu Yu Hakusho.

So now that that's over, we can go onto the main Checklist.

Atelier Totori

A game I've owned for a while, it's a very fun and relaxing game, and it's now the game I'm working on in between Gamefly rentals. I'm trying to make a lot of progress every day, but I've been lazy lately.

Dead Space 3
21%

Got this on sale, and I meant to buy it on release anyway so it was too good to pass up. So far the game has been great, and hopefully I won't have too much trouble with the other game modes required for platinum. Hardcore

Reach 4000 trophies ( 2260 )
Reach 130 platinums ( 44, I have to pass Manny! )

Trinity Universe
Obtained: November 15th 2011

Rating/Enjoyment:
Trophy Difficulty:
Time to Plat: 75-80 hours

My favorite game on the PS3! I really wasn't expecting much when I first bought this game, but it only took me a few minutes to get hooked. Everything about the game I thought was great, and I felt the battle system to be satisfying. Hyperdimension Neptunias combat is a lot like it, but Trinity Universe's is simpler, which I think works a lot better. You use for the weak attack which uses only a few points, for the Mighty Attack which uses a lot more, to use the magic attacks which if I remember right, use more than the Might Attacks, and to use your equipped abilities. It only took a few battles to get used to it, and later on you'll be able to make combos that utilize all of the points you have available. A lot of the music in the game was really cool and relaxing, and I'd want to sit and listen to it for a long time (which is a bad idea because if you stay in a dungeon too long, it'll drift away and you'll only have a short time to get out before you drift away inside it!) Most of the trophies were simple, the most annoying being Game Maniac which requires you to get 1,000,000 Evaluation Points. Not something you'd get through playing the game normally at all. You get them from clearing dungeons with special conditions such as destroying the gravity core and escaping or defeating the Lurker. The only thing about this is that dungeons appear completely randomly, so you could be stuck waiting over 30 minutes at a time for new dungeons to appear. This is definitely a game I'd want to play again, so I'm currently looking for the JP and KR versions so I can go for the triple plat. My proudest and favorite platinum!

Last Rebellion
Obtained: January 16th 2012

Rating/Enjoyment:
Trophy Difficulty:
Time to Plat: 6 hours

Not much I an really say about this game. It is very very mediocre, so much that I still don't know if I liked or hated it.
It's a short game made even shorter if you have a guide telling you the correct order to hit enemies in, and the only potentially time consuming thing in the game is fighting the Oranges/Prinnies as they appear randomly. You'll find Prinny 1, and then Prinny 2, and then if you're unlucky you'll find Prinny 1 again. I suppose if I'm really desperate for plats in the future, and I've run out of terrible quick-plat games, I might import the Japanese version because of its separate trophy list.

Dead Space
Obtained: January 20th 2012

Rating/Enjoyment:
Trophy Difficulty:
Time to plat: 30-35 hours

One of the first games I ever played for the PS3, I had to get this after I played the demo! I'm not much for horror or shooting games, so it was surprising for me to like this so much. I just loved the whole feeling of it being just you and a whole bunch of monsters on a giant ship in space. I can't put the game down whenever I play it, and it is one of the few games I could actually stand to replay. I'd recommend this game to anyone, and I should be getting Dead Space 3 soon I now own Dead Space 3.

Trine 2
Obtained: April 7th 2012

Rating/Enjoyment:
Trophy Difficulty:
Time to plat: 5-8 hours

I honestly don't remember why this took me 3 weeks to plat, I think I just decided to stop playing it for a while. It seemed like a decent game, although honestly I just played it for the trophies (just like most games). I don't remember anything being challenging, and I'd recommend it if you're looking for a fast platinum. This is one of the games I might go and play again next year since I didn't complete it the whole way through.

Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus
Obtained: April 7th 2012

Rating/Enjoyment:
Trophy Difficulty:
Time to plat: 7-8 hours

Who doesn't like Sly Cooper? I got this game for free from PS+ and I decided to play it again because I had never beaten it when I played it years ago, and I was excited when I read it was an easy plat too. I shot through the game very fast, with nothing being very hard at all, and I even found that the collectibles were pretty easy to find too. Now I really want to go and play/plat Sly 2 and 3.

Infamous 2
Obtained: April 14th 2012

Rating/Enjoyment:
Trophy Difficulty:
Time to plat: 25-30 hours

I got this game for Christmas 2011, and I didn't really play it until April 2012. I really regret not playing it right away though, because it was one of the platinums I had the most fun obtaining. Nothing in the game is too hard trophy-wise, with Blast Shards being a lot easier to find, and Hard Mode isn't too bad if you don't rush. I think the only thing that might be tough is getting With Great Power Comes Greater Power because you have to do it on playthrough 2 and getting XP is tough if there are no enemies around. I just ended up using the UGC missions and doing the ones that gave 1000 XP to get the rest I needed.

Demon's Souls
Obtained: May 16th 2012

Rating/Enjoyment:
Trophy Difficulty:
Time to plat: 30-40 hours

The game I got my first trophy in. Demon's Souls is a fun game, and is a bit overhyped for being hard in my opinion. As long as you don't rush, you shouldn't be having any trouble. I really liked the equipment upgrading system in the game, grinding out the stones took a bit, but getting the boost in power made it worth it. Most of the trophies are for fully upgrading the weapons, a bunch for killing all of the bosses in the game, and then the rest being for obtaining all of the special items/spells. Attempting to get Pure Bladestone to drop was a nightmare.

Borderlands
Obtained: May 29th 2012

Rating/Enjoyment:
Trophy Difficulty:
Time to plat: 30-40 hours

More like Boringlands! Seriously, I was insane to do this plat by myself. I just sat there for three days straight and played nothing but this game... I was so glad to be done with it, I deleted the game from my PS3! ( I only bought the game by mistake anyway ) Trophies are easy, although MP is required (just a bit though, you can even do most on two controllers if you have to, that's what I did.) I think the most difficult trophy for me was Ding! Champion because getting to 50 took a while even after I had done every mission in the game.

Dark Souls
Obtained: June 1st 2012

Rating/Enjoyment:
Trophy Difficulty:
Time to plat: 45-50 hours

I was very excited for this game, and I really enjoyed it for the first few hours, but I was very let down after playing it for a while. I enjoyed Demon's Souls a TON and I was expecting something better, and it is better in some areas, but I felt a lot of stuff was done worse than DeS. I still enjoyed the game, but it felt like something was missing from it. My favorite area was Anor Londo and Darkroot Garden, and my least favorite was Sen's Fortress. Stupid Lizardmen! I played this game with a friend and we helped each other out with making weapons and getting through levels, so I am very thankful for him being patient enough to play with me through the whole game twice. Trophies are pretty much the same as Demon's Souls; the upgrade and boss trophies, the collect every special item/ magic trophies, and the unique thing about this list is the covenants and ending trophies. The covenants were my favorite thing about the game, and I was a Chaos Servant at first, to get the Pyromancy, and then I joined the Warrior of Sunlight covenant. I liked helping people with bosses, and I usually took them out fast with my miracles.

Shrek Forever After
Obtained: June 13th 2012

Rating/Enjoyment
Trophy Difficulty:
Time to plat: 5-7 hours

I like Shrek, and I had recently subscribed to Gamefly at the time, so I decided to rent this game for its easy trophies. It wasn't a terrible game, and I had a bit of fun playing it too. Trophies were very easy, and I don't think anyone would have a difficult time attempting this platinum. The only thing I didn't like about the game were the trophy images, as they were all the same aside from different numbers of stars depending on if it was a bronze, silver, or gold. I hate when games do that, and it seems that most games do.

Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection
Obtained: June 22nd 2012

Rating/Enjoyment:
Trophy Difficulty:
Time to plat: 8-12 hours

Nothing much to say about this, besides the fact that it's a collection of classic Sega Genesis games. The trophies require you to do specific tasks in pretty much every game in the collection, and the hardest trophy is Yatta! which requires you to beat Robotnik in Doctor Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. It is very tough, and I only got it from him defeating himself by chance. This can be done in a single evening, and it even has another version with a different trophy list! The EU/UK version is called Sega Megadrive Ultimate Collection, and it is the same game except for the different title and the game Beyond Oasis has its name changed.

Dante's Inferno
Obtained: June 28th 2012

Rating/Enjoyment:
Trophy Difficulty:
Time to plat: 10-15 hours

This was a very fun game that is a lot like God of War, where you play as Dante as you go through Hell to get your b*tch back. It is pretty short, but the game has a lot of exciting moments, such as *spoiler*riding the giant monster all the way through the city and destroying stuff!*spoiler* You use the Scythe you took from Death as your main weapon, and you also have a Holy Cross that can fire Cross Projectiles at enemies as a side weapon. There are a few types of magic in the game, but the only one I felt was good was the Golden Cross one (I forgot the name!) The trophies are very simple, and you can play the game on easy if you'd like. Most are story related, and even ones you'll get through playing the game regularly. One thing to note is that there are a LOT of collectibles, so I suggest making a separate save at every save point so you can go back in case you missed one. Two playthroughs are required, as you'll have to max out the other path you didn't take through your first playthrough (Holy/Unholy path).

Puss In Boots
Obtained: July 3rd 2012

Rating/Enjoyment:
Trophy Difficulty:
Time to plat: 4-5 hours

Very fun, and actually good for a movie game! Another game I rented for an easy plat, I wasn't really expecting to enjoy this. The game is mostly on rails, with some combat segments and a few minigames as well. The combat is pretty simple, just wiggle the stick around, and then kick them to knock them into things that will put them out of commission. It is a pretty short game, so you can easily be done with it in one sitting. The trophies are simple, mostly stuff you do throughout the game, with a few collectibles. The best thing about the trophies in this game are the trophy images, as they're all unique and I think they look nice. This game is worth a rental for sure, but its too short to be worth buying.

Toggle Spoiler

NCIS
Obtained: July 9th 2012

Rating/Enjoyment:
Trophy Difficulty:
Time to plat: 4-5 hours

This game wasn't very good in my opinion. It was just one of those adventure games, but with none of the charm. Maybe I just haven't watched NCIS, but I just couldn't really get into the game. I just decided to watch stuff on my computer while barely paying attention to the game, and 5 hours lately I was done. If I remember right, every single trophy is story related, so you'll only have to get through this once and you'll have a shiny new platinum.

Heavy Fire: Afghanistan
Obtained: August 3rd 2012

Rating/Enjoyment:
Trophy Difficulty:
Time to plat: 8-9 hours

This game was just terrible! It had ugly graphics and I just don't like rail shooters. I had to force myself to sit through this, and every second was torture for me. The game was fairly easy, with a few moderately difficult spots. Most of the trophies are pretty easy, except for Without a Scratch which took me many tries to complete. I wouldn't want anyone to play this game, but if you're looking for a quick plat, maybe look into renting this.

Megamind: Ultimate Showdown
Obtained: August 8th 2012

Rating/Enjoyment:
Trophy Difficulty:
Time to plat: 2-3 hours

One of the fastest, if not the fastest plats ever. It is one of the easiest games I've ever played, and I think I only died twice during my whole playthrough. Every trophy whore should make it their goal to have this plat.

CSI: Fatal Conspiracy
Obtained: August 10th 2012

Rating/Enjoyment:
Trophy Difficulty:
Time to plat: 10 hours

Another easy plat game, but it is worse than NCIS. Trophies are mostly the same, but not all are story related in this one. You will have to do one case perfectly to get the 100% Skill and Thoroughness gold trophies. I fell asleep playing this game, thankfully I only rented it.

Saint Seiya: Sanctuary Battle
Obtained: January 7th 2013

Rating/Enjoyment:
Trophy Difficulty:
Time to plat: 25-30 hours

I loved the Saint Seiya anime, so I had to get this game when I found out it existed! It is sort of like Dynasty Warriors in some levels, but not as wide open. The boss fights are one on one, and they can be pretty challenging. This game took me 7 months to plat because I stopped playing it June 2012. I stopped playing games for a while, and only started playing again in December 2012. I decided to make this my first plat of 2013 as I was only 1 trophy away from it. The hardest thing about this game is the Mission Mode because a lot of them are really long and take 20+ minutes to complete. The trophies are very simple, and you'll get nearly all of them through playing through the game once or twice. I was very satisfied when I got the plat, because then I didn't have to worry about it anymore.

Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4
Obtained: January 10th 2013

Rating/Enjoyment:
Trophy Difficulty:
Time to plat: 15-20 hours

My brother got me this to play on christmas, and I was skeptical at first because I tried it before and didn't like it. This time around I had a ton of fun, even if the collectibles were annoying to find! Davey's guide was a huge help for that stuff, and I think he did a really awesome job on that guide. This is in my top five favorite platinums, and I'm planning to play Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7 soon.

[PROTOTYPE 2]
Obtained: January 13th 2013

Rating/Enjoyment:
Trophy Difficulty:
Time to plat: 15-20 hours

Prototype 2 is a decent game, although I still like Infamous 2 better. The powers you have in this game are cool, and I had fun running super fast through the city. The platinum in this game is a lot easier than the original Prototype. Hard mode isn't very hard at all, aside from two or three bosses (including Mercer at the end). The only trophy I had trophy with was the one for getting every upgrade. I couldn't find the last one I needed anywhere, and then I started doing the story again, and found it on one of the missions close to the end. First time I found it, the giant enemy ran at it and stomped on it. The second time I found it, it got killed by a tank instantly. and the third time I found it, I rushed over and absorbed it quickly. I was super satisfied after that because my platinum popped up and I was done with the game.

The Walking Dead
Obtained: January 13th 2013

Rating/Enjoyment:
Trophy Difficulty:
Time to plat: 6-7 hours

A very enjoyable (for me at least) experience from Telltale! I got it for my brother for his birthday, and I decided it play it on my account after he was done with it. Every trophy in the game is story related, so you can just relax and not have to worry about missing anything. I won't really discuss the story here because I don't want to spoil anyone.

God of War III
Obtained: January 15th 2013

Rating/Enjoyment:
Trophy Difficulty:
Time to plat: 20-25 hours

GoW3 is personally my favorite of the God of War series, and Gamefly sent me this one before GoW Collection and Origins Collection, so I decided to just play this one first. Trophies aren't too bad, besides the 1000 hit (which was just boring) and Titan mode trophies. Titan was a bit tough for me, and I died probably 30 times to enemies in that playthrough. I hate the trophy images for this game because unlike the other ones in the series, this game has black backgrounds instead of transparent for the trophies. It was annoying seeing it next to all of my other GoW plats later on, just because of that black background.

Yep, ANOTHER GoW game. This game was very easy, it is just boring because you'll most likely have to do two playthroughs for Speed of Jason McDonald The worst thing about this game is the challenges, as the last one is tough and you can't save and quit. You have to do it all in one sitting or you'll need to start over. I spent a lot of time worrying that my power would go out while doing the challenges. Another thing is, this game has my favorite trophy images out of the whole GoW series. I really love all of them, even if they're all the same aside from color!

God of War II
Obtained: January 22nd 2013

Trophy Difficulty:
Time to plat: 10-15 hours

I liked this one better than the first God of War, although the story felt longer.. Trophies are pretty much exactly the same as GoW1, and are even easier in my opinion. Challenges save this time, so you can stop at any point without any worries now, which made me feel less rushed while completing them. The only thing I dislike about this game are the trophy images, they just don't look that good.

God of War: Ghost of Sparta
Obtained: January 24th 2013

Rating/Enjoyment:
Trophy Difficulty:
Time to plat: 10-15 hours

It is at this point that I got sick of GoW games. Playing them all in a row was one of the most repetitive tasks I've ever done. The only reason I got this plat after Spare Parts is because the disc Gamefly sent me was scratched, so the game conveniently decides to stop working the very moment I get to the final battle. This game had the easiest challenges out of all the GoW games, and I think once you get the Arms of Sparta, the story becomes a joke in difficulty. Its trophy list is pretty much the same as any other GoW game, so you shouldn't have much trouble.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
Obtained: January 27th 2013

Rating/Enjoyment:
Trophy Difficulty:
Time to plat: 10-15 hours

This game costs $15 in the store, which is $5 too high I think. It is a very quick plat, and can be even quicker if you have someone who would boost with you. All of the trophies are easy, except for The Cleaner which requires you to play the Classic game mode and kill every single enemy in a round without dying. There are no respawns in that mode, so if your teammate kills one of the enemies you're screwed for that round. It takes a few tries but eventually you'll get lucky.

A decent low-budget FPS about Dinosaurs! The story is pretty short, and you can finish it within three hours. Two playthroughs are required; one on Normal, and the other on Hard which is a lot easier thanks to the Laser Rifle. You should be attempting to finish the levels you had died on in Normal mode without dying on Hard to get Nuck Chorris Rex

This was one of my favorite games to play in Arcades, but there was one thing that made me super mad while playing this. TEKKEN BOWLING.

My final time was almost 8 hours, but it can be done much much faster.

Jak and Daxter
Obtained: February 2nd 2013

Rating/Enjoyment:
Trophy Difficulty:
Time to plat: 10-15 hours

A very enjoyable game made by Naughty Dog. I'm not much of a fan of platformers, so I had trouble on some parts that were probably very easy to others. 95% of the trophies are story related, and the others are for getting the collectible Precursor Orbs, Power Cells, and Scout Flies. There are 2000 Precursor Orbs, so that can take you a bit. The hardest Orbs for me to find were the ones in the dead Plant Monster after you beat him. You'll have to jump on his head a couple of times to get a bunch of them. The only things I disliked about this game were Daxter himself, and the terrible Camera. There were parts of the game where getting through the area was awkward due to the Camera locking itself in a strange angle or it would keep moving around.

This was a pretty cool game, it being the first Hitman game I've ever tried. Story was pretty fun, but I stopped playing for a while because I got stuck on the level Blackwater Park. Then near the start of February, I had nothing to play at the time, so I decided to finish up this and beat the rest of the story very quickly. I think used level select to clean up the collectibles and then finish up the challenges and play styles I needed for their respective trophies. I loved the trophy images in this game, especially the plat.

A pretty cool FPS where you have unique powers. The story was really cool, and I didn't mind doing it twice, first on Thug and then on Don difficulty. Nothing was very hard, and you have plenty of chances to restore your health while in combat so you should never have that much trouble. I'd recommend this game if you like FPS games and you're looking for a quick plat.

Pretty much like Instant Artist, but without the annoying minigames.

I also have to say this is one of the most boring games I've ever played, all you have to do is say your answer is right over and over to win, and that's all you need to do.

There is nothing challenging about the game, and all of the collectibles are pretty easy to find. There are only two that you won't be able to initially get, so you'll need to wait until close to the end of the game to go back and get them. Took me about 6 hours, would have finished faster if I didn't take breaks.

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai HD Collection
Obtained: March 7th 2013

Rating/Enjoyment:
Trophy Difficulty:
Time to Plat: 20-25 hours

Fairly easy fighting game plat, definitely the easiest DBZ one out there. Difficulty doesn't affect trophies, so you can just set either game to Very Easy if it's giving you too much trouble. The only difficult things in the game are the World Tournaments, but even those are easy when you unlock certain characters (Hercule in Budokai 1, Uub in Budokai 3). The Cell Games in Budokai 3 are something else entirely, and it'll take you many tries to win. Overall it took me about 45 minutes to finally beat the Cell Games, and it really depends on luck, like who you'll be fighting. I got really lucky and got a Saibamen for the final opponent in the Cell Games, and I just let him Self-Destruct on me for an instant victory. Overall, I had fun on most parts, it was just the World Tournaments managing to piss me off.

Marvel Super Hero Squad: Comic Combat
Obtained: March 8th 2013

Trophy Difficulty:
Time to Plat: 4-5 hours

Easy game, you just have to get used to the awful uDraw controls. Story is a little enjoyable at times, and nothing was challenging. You can only die if you're not paying attention to the game for like 5+ minutes in the middle of combat. The only hard trophy was A Stranger to Laser Danger and that is just because sometimes the AI is idiotic and will walk on its own, sometimes into the laser!

Rise of the Legendary Piece of Shit. Extremely boring game that took me weeks to plat because I lost motivation. At least it has an Australian Easter Bunny.

This is actually the worst game I've ever played. Glitchy piece of shit, as Curb and Faust have no doubt heard me complaining about. Avoid at all costs.

Thanks DaRe!

Nah! I'm lazier than anyone, I just get strange urges to do long projects sometimes.

How long 'till you fall dead from playing bad games ?

I'd say a hundred more games until I go insane.

Look forward to seeing grow even more but it's amazing looking. Great start to it!

Thank you, I've been working on it pretty much nonstop all day.

[Yoo_Hoo_Sniper]

Nice looking CL so far….Those are some impressive guides I enjoyed reading what you had to say about your games and I can't wait for more updates!

[UnbreakabuII]

Looks great I will definitely try Darkness 2, after what I read

[Qurb]

I'm loving it so far, looks really good! Keep up the great work.

[Kratos06]

Good, you finally finished it and it looks awesome..Keep up the good work

[Outstandind]

Atelier series and Alex Kidd. Very nice taste in games

Must be looking forward to Atelier Ayesha in March, yes? I'm weighing up whether to get it or not. Meruru was awesome but I don't know if I'm ready to jump back into another one.

Thank you. Honestly I feel I didn't write enough for the games, so I might go back later on and add more to it. I will definitely update tomorrow as my Gamefly games should be here.

Looks great I will definitely try Darkness 2, after what I read

It's a very fun game, and it even has a mini story mode with characters who have sort of different powers/weapons. There are collectibles, but they are pretty easy to find, I only missed one because it turns out I exited a level near the start without saving and I thought I had already picked it up when I played it again. I hope you'll enjoy it.

I'm loving it so far, looks really good! Keep up the great work.

Thank you, and thanks again for making me the banner.

Good, you finally finished it and it looks awesome..Keep up the good work

Thanks! I look forward to updating it and making it even better.

I'm planning to buy Rorona and Meruru in the future, and I will definitely be buying Ayesha. It will be one of the few games I'm buying new this year.

[Helyx]

Hey look, you have a checklist.

[backblast]

nice checklist good luck on your goals
i don't have the time to play bad games

[Kankri]

Nothing big happened today, but I managed to earn 11 trophies in Demon's Souls.

I got:

Rogue's Trophy, Trophy of Sharpness, Moonlight's Trophy, Darkmoon's Trophy, Master Slasher's Trophy, Blood Master's Trophy, Congratulant's Trophy, Master Bowman's Trophy, Shade Master's Trophy, Life Master's Trophy, and Poison Master's Trophy

I now have 28/38 and I'm at 53% of the trophies, I should be able to finish the plat tomorrow and make it #40!

[Nagflar]

W00t, Demon's Souls . Will you go for the triple DS plat ?

[Kankri]

W00t, Demon's Souls . Will you go for the triple DS plat ?

I will be doing so, although I might save CHN DS for #100

[Artemis]

Oooooooh, you have the Trinity Universe platinum. Something I would like to have myself, but I got impatient with the game after so much hours. I really liked the game though.

Good looking checklist Mesa!

Good looking checklist Mesa!

It's easy to get impatient with it, and I got a bit frustrated trying to get the dungeons to appear until I read a method to get only dungeons to appear. Even so, it sometimes took tons of resting for them to show up. In the end, it wasn't really the dungeons that kept me from platinum, it was the 1,000,000 evaluation points. Grinding them took a long long time.

Early last year, I even though about grinding 3,000,000 more evaluation points, just to get to the top of the leaderboards.


And thank you, I like the way my checklist turned out, even if BBCode kept annoying me.
