Gunfighter's Post-Op Platinum Popping Project

[GunfighterHefty]

Hi all!

 

I am on this site daily, looking things up, reading various topics, posts, all in all just generally creeping. I contribute here and there.

 

I will be having surgery to repair a torn ACL on December 27th and kind of wanted to do something to take my mind off of being nervous about the procedure (I know it's not a serious thing, compared to other possible operations I could be having). I thought of starting a challenge for myself and the offering of this challenge to all you fine folks in hopes of this possibly being interesting to others. 

 

I must also admit that I am a teacher and just started winter break today (woohoo!), so I am off of work from now until technically January 8th. With the procedure, however, it is very likely that I will miss some work (and at this point in time I am planning on taking off the first week, at least.)

 

This leaves me with the time-line of December 28th (not going to count my day back from surgery as I have no idea how I will feel) until January 15th (so ending on the night of the 14th). I am hoping, by that time, I will be able to drive and come back to work. 

 

I have an extensive backlog and am a pseudo-completionist. I have purchased various digital titles over the past few years when they have been too cheap to pass up. I thought of trying to earn a platinum a day with some of these games would not only boost my completion percentage, it would raise my platinum count, and help reduce some backlog slog. 

 

Working from the time-frame I listed above - that gives me 18 days, and at least 18 platinum trophies I would need to earn. 

 

I tend to write a lot - so I'm going to stop typing as much and outline how I envision it can look for you all to contribute as well!

 

Rules

• If entered, you are highly encouraged to provide updates on your progress. If you want to do a daily post, that should be fine. I might do every 3rd day or 6th day or something to that effect. 
• Any system is available, I own all of PS4, PS3, and VITA. Most of, if not all of, my plats will probably come from PS4.
• You are not limited to how many you want to earn in a day. If you want to pop multiple, that's fine, but the goal is to try and get one a day.
• For a game to be counted, please have it at no more than 25% completion. Almost all of the games I have in mind are going to be started from 0%.
• Games should be synched daily, please don't hold off until the last day or something. If I'm going to continue my creeping ways, I want to see your progress! 
• Have fun!

 

In the effort to finally shut-up, I am going to post a tentative list of games I have to choose from. This is more than 18 and is intentional to give myself some flexibility. I am confident in being able to complete any of these in 1 day.

Nice list, you should be able to pull this off easily

Had knee surgery at the end of October myself, but couldn't find any

motivation to make any sort of dent in my backlog. 

Happy hunting

Hopefully I can maintain my motivation, hah! Thank you for the support
