YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK! The contents of this page have been bought with taxpayer money! |

Chris's Sony PlayStation 3 ("purchased 17 March 2006[1]" [sic[2]] - 28 August 2010) was his "life upgrade." He wanted to win one in a contest, so he made a video where he built one out of Pixelblocks. He would "throw out the cure for autism" for one.[3] He eventually went ahead and bought one with taxpayer money from his monthly tugboat, using one of his many collected credit cards.
PlayStation Network
Chris, being as irresponsible with money as he is, went into overdrive with this feature of the PS3's online capabilities. Chris has spent so much on the PSN it has contributed into most of the $2000 of his credit card debt (although this was during the Julie Saga). As of now that number is higher, at a little over a third of Chris's annual income.
You might ask yourself how he could spend that much and what he could spend it on. Chris seemingly buys everything possible, from game content to movies to several episodes of terrible harem anime. A list of Chris's PSN purchases reveals that he has even bought upgrades to games he doesn't even own.
As of the end of 2009 and the beginning of 2010, Chris's PSN purchases grew higher: in several months during this time frame, Chris spent more than $200 each month on the PSN.
Chris spent at least $3405.22 in YOUR taxpayer dollars before destroying his PS3 in August 2010.
Spending history
The following table chronicles Chris's deposits into his PlayStation Network "wallet" between April 2007 and February 2010, the period for which detailed records of his transactions are available (thanks to the work of expert hackers).
Some interesting patterns can be spotted in his spending habits. He was relatively thrifty for most of 2007 and into early 2008, when he still had a few other outlets for entertaining himself outside his home. There's a sharp spike around the time of his first ban from The GAMe PLACe, though (and he might also have been binging to get over his "breakup" with Megan Schroeder, which happened that same spring). Likewise, it's perhaps not a coincidence that after Chris was permanently booted from the GAMe PLACe in the summer of 2008, he began spending a good deal more money on the PSN.
| Month | Amount | Month | Amount | Month | Amount | Month | Amount | Month | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| February 2010 | $130.00 | July 2009 | $80.00 | December 2008 | $150.00 | May 2008 | $90.00 | October 2007 | $55.00 |

Trophies
According to the PSN profile for Sonichu, as of 21 August 2010, Chris has 1117 trophies. Note: Availability of Sonichu's trophy information is dependent on the proper functioning of the PlayStation Network. Information is not updated in real time.
The games where he had over 50% progress so far include:
| Game | Trophies | Progress | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| LittleBigPlanet | 70 | 100% | And he still can't coordinate his jumps, or design a good level. |
| inFamous | 50 | 100% | A man dressed in yellow that shoots electricity? Hmmmmm... |
| God of War III | 36 | 100% | All that blood and gore couldn't stop Chris from grabbing all the trophies and deity boobies. |
| God of War II | 35 | 100% | From the God of War Collection. |
| Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection | 35 | 100% | Another case of redundancy for most of the included games, especially the Sonic ones. |
| Linger In Shadows | 16 | 100% | Apparently, a demoscene production. Not remarkable. Most people already had 1000 gamerscore in Second Reality. In 1993. |
| Flower | 14 | 100% | |
| Sam and Max: The Devil's Playhouse - Episode 1: The Penal Zone | 13 | 100% | |
| Wheel of Fortune | 13 | 100% | Truly, the apex of hi-def gaming. |
| Gunstar Heroes | 12 | 100% | Chris may have got 100% in Gunstar Heroes, but IRL he's a total zero. |
| Sam and Max: The Devil's Playhouse - Episode 2: The Tomb of Sammun Mak | 12 | 100% | |
| Buzz! Junior: Monsters | 11 | 100% | "Junior" says it all. |
| Buzz! Junior: RoboJam | 11 | 100% | |
| Sam and Max: The Devil's Playhouse - Episode 4: Beyond the Alley of the Dolls | 11 | 100% | |
| .detuned | 10 | 100% | Another demoscene production. Again, we'd allege that Chris wouldn't get too far in Farbrausch's more famous interactive entertainment prod .kkrieger - not to even mention the largely .famous .the .product, dammit! |
| Sam and Max: The Devil's Playhouse - Episode 3: They Stole Max's Brain | 10 | 100% | |
| Mainichi Issho | 7 | 100% | A Japan-only release. Apparently just like Animal Crossing, only more boring and even bigger of a grindfest. |
| Frogger Returns | 4 | 100% | One hundred percen—! ...Oh, it's four trophies for four levels. |
| Burnout Paradise | 93 | 91% | It has cars. They can be driven. Chris thinks this game is up there among greatest games ever made, with likes of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.[4] |
| Braid | 11 | 89% | A game about a man who alters time to rescue his sweetheart. Note that the end of the game reveals the main character to be a stalker. It is, however, worth noting that Braid is a puzzle game, and not a simple one to play either, yet he still fully completed the game. This is perhaps the most definite proof that Chris isn't mentally retarded (or, at least, he knows how to use GameFAQs). |
| ModNation Racers | 46 | 82% | A driving game that chris is terrible at. The levels that Chris have made so far are simply bad. In 500 online races Chris has only won 100; that shows Chris's skills. |
| God of War | 33 | 82% | Most of the trophies are simply earned by progressing through the game normally. The trophies he lacks are the ones that require you to complete actual challenges or completing the game in under 5 hours. |
| Heavy Rain | 53 | 80% | |
| The Price Is Right | 11 | 76% | Another real masterpiece of hi-def gaming |
| Sonic Unleashed | 37 | 75% | Due to the trophy data not visible to the public and people reporting hearsay as fact, a lot of people were under assumption that Chris had 100% of the trophies in Sonic 2006 (which doesn't even have trophies). Now, we're equally perplexed by the fact that Chris has only 75% of trophies in a bona-fide 3D Sonic title. |
| Brütal Legend | 46 | 74% | \m/ Britney Spears! \m/ |
| Penny Arcade Adventures: OtRSPoD, Episode One | 11 | 71% | |
| Penny Arcade Adventures: OtRSPoD, Episode Two | 11 | 71% | |
| Noby Noby Boy | 9 | 71% | |
| NUMBLAST | 10 | 71% | NUMBLAST is a colorful Japanese puzzle game |
| Buzz!: Quiz TV | 16 | 61% | The first of the Buzz! games to appear on PS3. See also Chris's Quizzes for his MyBUZZ! stuff. |
| Watchmen | 8 | 57% | |
| UNO | 10 | 52% | Seriously? |
Comparing to the list of games he owns, there was a bunch of them that he didn't even have booted up a single time. There are some games he had touched maybe once and then left to the wayside; for example, all of his BioShock trophies are from the beginning of the game, and he received all of them on October 23, 2008, over a couple of hours. (The logical conclusion is that the second level of BioShock will blow your mind.) In public, he also prominently featured games he never really played; the PS3 History Level shows many games that he touched only a few times (Mirror's Edge and BioShock, for example, currently sit at 11% and 9% respectively), and in the PS3 tutorial, Chris says he thinks PAIN is a "fun" game, yet he let it sit at 0%.
Hacking
As a result of his online notoriety, his poor choice of passwords, and his innate gullibility, Chris’s PlayStation Network account was hacked or otherwise wrested from his control on multiple occasions. BlueSpike, in his guise as Chris’s sweetheart Julie, was able to convince Chris to break the first fundamental rule of cybersecurity and "share" his password in February 2009, which was later used as a wedge to control and torment Chris. That summer, Jack Thaddeus seized the account, resulting in the infamous eight minutes of console sex and detailed revelations concerning Chris’s insane online spending habits.
Chris managed to keep control of his accounts for a surprisingly long time after his run-in with Thaddeus, but his luck ran out on 24 February 2010, thanks to a certain nigger Hawaiian.
Fanboyism
| “ | So… good reason to get a PlayStation 3 system… of at least 60 GB or higher! 'Cause, uh, y'know, they have four USB ports, the memory card slots, and able to access the Internet wirelessly. While 40 GB and lower: two USB ports, no memory card slots, and requires an Ethernet cable to connect to the Internet. And… LittleBigPlanet! And as you all know from my sponsorship video, ev— most of the videos I put up on YouTube were spon— were sponsored by Sony, and their PlayStation Eye, and their PlayStation 3. | ” |
| Chris failing to tell us what the "good reason" is | ||
| “ | And yet, at the beginning, during the "Console War", I feel that I have chosen Truly Wise. Sony has truly helped this soul better his life, and many others as well. And with every new update, the PS3 and PSP grow more and more better alongside me. Playstaion isn't just a Station to Play, it's the station to Play and Truly Enrich Yourself. Higher Definition equals Better Points of View. Talking over the internet from a sancturious comfort is truly an enriching luxury. Now I have put behind me my regrets of Life without Playstation. And with Priceless Experiences, an honest sense of satisfaction. And a more mature winning attitude. Sony's Playstation 3 and Playstation Portable are Truly a place I can call... My Digital HOME. :D Happy Anniversary, Playstation 3; you are Truly the Best Life Upgrade Ever | ” |
| Chris, fellating the faceless angel of overpriced electronics in PS3 History Level speech bubbles | ||
Chris pops giant boners for PS3. He makes trolls on /v/ look like mild enthusiasts with his hatred of the Hex Bawx.
Molestations and other PS3 damage
On 24 July 2009, a video of Chris humping his PS3 was leaked. It is generally believed that physically molesting electronics may often shorten their lifespan; hard drives and optical drives are particularly prone to breaking under such physical stress.
On 5 May 2010, Chris posted a video in which he bragged about removing a "bug" from his PS3, thanks to a white knight who tipped him off. While Chris did apparently understand that the component was actually the system's wireless networking antenna, he removed it anyway. It seems to have had no effect on his ability connect his PS3 to the internet, indicating that he either uses a wired ethernet connection or he realized how fucked he was and put it back in place. In any case, he voided his console's warranty... just as planned.
On 27 August 2010, Chris posted a solemn video where he explains how he inadvertently formatted his own PS3, erasing over 3 years of his life. Through repeated abuse (see above), Chris's PS3 was misbehaving, prompting him to contact Sony tech support. They apparently guided him through an attempt to fix corrupted files on the PS3's hard drive, but fortunately this did not go to plan and Chris was given a choice to reformat his drive, which he accepted.
In the video, Chris blamed a "misunderstanding" between him and the support representative as the reason why he ended up formatting his drive, but it's more likely that Chris wasn't even listening to the things the representative was saying, being more concerned with being able to use his life upgrade again as soon as possible. This dubious series of events was disputed by CWC experts, who suspect that Chris may not have been his TRUE and HONEST self. However, his PSN account activity suggested he had indeed deleted fucking everything.
Good night, sweet prince
On 29 August 2010, trolls obtained The MovingFoward videos where Chris finally put the nail in his life upgrade's coffin by beating it up with an edging stone and then running it over with his car. In the third video, Chris claimed to have tested his PS3 and confirmed it no longer started up but still "went into standby mode". He then used some scissors to repeatedly stab the console's remains. Trolls also obtained photographs of the console in various states of destruction.
The next day, another video appeared wherein Chris took the crushed, stabbed, and disassembled parts of his PS3, laid them out in his driveway, and ran them over with his car yet again (repeatedly) for good measure.
Other oddities
Chris appears to have put at least some of the games he has bought in blue Blu-Ray cases instead of keeping them in original retail cases.[5] He even does so in Christian Weston Chandler's Adult Chronicles advertisement. This peculiar practice is explained in Chris's PS3 History Level: Chris buys Blu-Ray game cases from eBay and switches them over because "It's THINNER than the Clear Original PS3 Disc Cases; MORE SHELF SPACE for MORE GAMES."
