<single tear>…I thought I’d have time to go get it today after catching movie and dinner out with my friend, and later sister, but on the way to Ri7ab I call the store I frequent just to confirm that they have the game, but it got sold out.</single tear>
I told them to hold a copy for me for tomorrow.
…Now I’m just sitting here falling asleep while watching The Office.
This is serious, you might get locked out of your games.
PSN bug:
It’s probably just a 24 hour bug, but you’ll want to leave your glitchy PS3s off in the meantime, just in case, says Sony.
In an update posted to the company’s international Twitter feeds and official PlayStation blogs at roughly 9:15am PT, Sony wrote that it hopes to resolve an issue preventing gamers from playing games or connecting to its PlayStation Network, but advises that “you do not use your PS3 system, as doing so may result in errors in some functionality.”
Those “functionality errors” could include properly recording trophies obtained by completing specific goals in games, as well as “not being able to restore certain data,” though it’s unclear what Sony means by the latter.
The issue, which manifested as clocks turned from February 28 to March 1, affects older “fat” PS3s only (“slims” are unaffected) and manifests as a time reset to 12/31/99 when you power the system on. Attempting to play certain games offline brings up an error message, as does signing into Sony’s PlayStation Network.

Update: Problem solved itself.
I can’t seem to get a game as fast as I should, it’s taking far too long for it to be enjoyable anymore. I played on Co-op mode, some Plunder runs, and a Deathmatch and they all seemed to work fine, at least in terms of latency and game frequency, but ever since yesterday things have been pretty annoying.
I did some Googling and found this. I followed these steps:
On the PS3 XMB bar, click right until you reach the “Game” icon Click up until you reach the “Game Data Utility” icon and hit X to enter the utility Using “triangle” delete ONLY the Uncharted 2 data and ONLY within the “Game Data Utility” Restart Uncharted 2, allow it to install all the Title Updates, enter Multiplayer and you will go through a longer than normal “Syncing live data” process
…And it seemed to work fine, with near instant queues until my Ps3 freaking froze (It’s been doing that more and more, and that frustrates me), and now I can’t find any games again!
I hate QualityNet even more if the connection we’re paying for isn’t even what we’re getting, if it’s the cause for this problem. Though, if a track record is what I’ll be going with, it may very well be QualityNet not delivering yet again.
Update: UAE cables ftl.
I wrote this article last year, and my views have not changed since. Thus, I will repost it on my blog, since it summarizes how I feel exactly.
It is only simpletons and half-wits who refuse to acknowledge that relevant events in history are to be appreciated, learned from, and more importantly, never forgotten in the name of exploited themes like religion, or diplomacy.
I will never forget standing in front of the TV set and watching a sea of black, marked with scowling faces raise their fists and chant, “With soul, with blood, we’re yours Saddam!”I will never forget the realization that the very same Palestinians who were graciously welcomed into Kuwait with open arms were the ones who turned around and helped Iraqi forces capture, torture, and kill hordes of Kuwaiti people in the most macabre ways and return them home in trash bags.Like any child old enough to remember the Iraqi invasion and had stayed in the country, I have witnessed terrifying things. Those things also alerted me to a particular issue: where in Europe the Holocaust of all things is openly discussed, the Middle East seems to promote a lot of tripe about the Gulf War. “The past is the past,” and that we should “let it be, forget it” or that “It was one man, the people had nothing to do with it.” I am not of the belief that only one man, Saddam Hussein, is to be blamed for things so wicked, that happened day after day for seven months.I hardly think that Saddam Hussein took it upon himself to sit down with every individual soldier and tell him to break bottles and make people sit on them. I do not think that he told them to put any part of a person inside a toaster oven and burn them. I do not think that he said that tightly bound springs would make excellent whips because they would tear the flesh off a man’s back. I do not believe for one minute that acts like these, were thought up just by one man. Saws were used to rend people’s flesh, their arms, legs, and everything in between. Tools no one would even imagine to be used in torture were so creatively effective in destroying another a Kuwaiti prisoner’s mind and body. This malicious torture is never to be forgotten, nor will the kidnappings. Our blood is not cheap. Shame on you.I’m glad that the first thing I did when the worthless impostor currency was put into my seven year old hands was to tear it up and let the thick smoke-infested wind carry the worthless paper away.I think that it says more about people who like to claim that such an obvious, seven month-long hallowing of a country and its people never happened, or that it should not be relevant issue anymore. To say that the lives of our people who were literally gutted, violated, burnt, torn, broken, and destroyed never occurred is to resign from your position as a person with a conscience.
Thank God for America, thank God for justice.
I just had a beef enchilada (or something) with no cheese and it was tasty.
I think I’ll try to drop by there after uni every other week from now on.
I’ve been playing Mirror’s Edge this morning (up to chapter four, going for no kills) and it makes me nauseus. D:
This is a correction of one of my previous posts. Apparently my choice in sources is horrible. Bioshock II is out now.
Seriously!
Big rant coming tonight, or knowing me, tomorrow or next week. :P Either way, it’s on my mind!
Meanwhile, enjoy this YouTube video summarizing a big chunk of why this game sucks and is hugely overrated, since, its fan base is just ridiculously emo:
