Proved my wife wrong!!

Archive: 24 posts


I'd been on a mission to collect all of the in-game prize bubbles, and I was down to the x3 and x4 items. My internet is bad enough that I can't effectively play online, and we only have 2 controllers. So, I borrowed 2 controllers from a co-worker, and my wife and I commenced to collect the last of the items. We have 4 accounts on the ps3 (mine, my wife, and 2 kids). I knew that Bang for Buck was gonna be the hardest, so I saved that for last. Well, we finally got there, and we tried for probably 20 minutes to get that last x4 item. For those not familiar with this part, you essentially play hot-potato with a bomb with 4 people. My wife would hit the switch, catch the bomb and throw it to me, and as I'm catching it, she's switching controllers. Then after I throw it, I switch controllers. Finally she gave up. I said "Give me the controllers". Her response...."There's no way you're gonna do that yourself"!

I refer you now back to the title =)

I had all 4 controllers lined up in front of me, in order top to bottom. It took me 5 minutes, and I had it.

Yep got this one solo myself. Just hit pause or PS button and work one controller at a time. You gotta be quick, but it's doable.2011-04-17 21:40:00

You shouldn't ever prove your wife wrong - partners get very iffy about that! They start withdrawing things as a punishment... (like cookies).

Congrats though! Can't believe I never thought of pausing!

I couldn't agree with you more Standby. xD

I think it's funny that half of the people here are responding more to Thegide's post than the original post. But congrats on getting the prize bubbles.

I think the most impressive aspect here is that you managed to find a wife that's 100% cool with you playing LBP, and not only that, she enjoys it herself!!

Where do one find such a person?

Well, I did it with four people online, but now that I think about it it probably wouldve been easier doing it by myself and just pausing in between. That 4x was the worst... almost as bad as Boom Towns 2x.2011-04-18 14:11:00

Either you were playing with your arms, legs and face or you are rapid fast at changing controller! Good job! 2011-04-18 16:02:00

I think I got all the X4 prizes myself. I remember the one in Eve's Asylum being a real pain. The one shooting water onto the plants.2011-04-19 17:24:00

If a man stands in a forest, and he speaks out what's on his mind, and there is no women there to hear him, is he still wrong?2011-04-20 10:14:00

Kudos.
I was in a group of three, and I was also the #4.
Just that took me longer than it should.
Creatinators should lock in the last aimed position.

Exactly what I did lol.

Took me longer than 5 minutes I think, but I did it eventually. I kept forgetting which order the controllers were in lol.

Ha 1 player x4's are fun. Since my data was corrupt from lbp1 I had to do pretty much all of the x2s x3s and x4s by myself as well. Once I did the Pirates of the Caribbean x4 where you stand on four buttons.. seems easy but I did it with 3 controllers and a rock band guitar... Fun stuff. Also the one where you have to hold the spinning dial things in a specific code in I think the Bunker?.. 2 controllers with my hands and 2 with my feet XD I'm so lame!2011-04-23 19:16:00
