How to be a useless bum and still make money

It’s quite easy. You only require a few things.

  • A defunct online game
  • People willing to sacrifice bandwidth for power on said online game
  • Exploitable userbase with PayPal accounts and too much money

It all started out harmlessly. Crono asked for donations so he could keep on paying bills for running PSO. Sounds fair and square. Then he added something nifty for the players so they’d be more inclined to pay. Read more

Mass Effect, Forbes and Rustled Jimmies

Since the release of Mass Effect 3 there has been quite some controversy surrounding that game. People didn’t like the colorful endings, the animations were sub par, the writing was terrible and Shepard was, out of nowhere, gay. Add some Day 1 DLC and you can be sure that there are a lot of rustled jimmies in the gaming community. Now add some freelance blogger for Forbes into that mix and everybody’s jimmies are being rustled. Hard.

For the most part regarding Mass Effect 3 I can’t say much. I haven’t played the game and from what I’ve seen, I’ll never be playing the game. People believe that many fans are just suffering homophobia but I don’t really think that this is the issue. Of course, it’s kind of sketchy that Shepard can be gay in the final game of the series. It’s kind of weird that he wasn’t able to pursue a homosexual relationship since the first game. Then there is the issue of how it’s being represented. Read more

PSU Presidency Elections are over!

PSU has it’s very own new president.
Meet your new PSU president.

Remmy will make the world of PSU a better place. Less taxes, less booters and terrible fines for criminal scammers.

Earlier today Remmy was left into office and had to swear the oath before god, the PSU mods and Clumyorchid. Sadly it turned out that he is a nigger and thus the thread was quickly moved to hide the evidence. But campaigners BGO and bloodflowers have copied his opening speech right here and here.

All hail our new PSU Overlord Dumbass Nigger President for he will make this game a greater place for everyone.

Diadubucket

So I decided to look into server applications that offer something that loosely resembles Photobucket.

After going through several applications that were advertised as such but didn’t offer what I was looking for, I finally found it in Coppermine.

Here are some pointers  Read more

Bitches love cooking.

We all know bitches love cooking and are impressed when their guy serves some awesome meal. Well at least mine does. And it’s simple really.

You need

  • Potatoes
  • Some Instant stuff for Potato Gratin
  • Cheese
  • Some cream

Fill a pot with water, add the cream, add the instant stuff, peel potatoes, cut them and toss them in. Cook it until the potatoes are good (Contrary to popular belief you’d have to eat 25 kg of raw potatoes for their poison to work, so try to poison her with something else).

Now toss some of that delicious potato stuff into a bowl. Then add some cheese. Then add more of that potato stuff, add cheese, etc. until the bowl is full. Cover it with more cheese and done. Put it into the oven and wait. Once done in the oven, let it cool off a bit before serving.

Done. Your bitch is now impressed, loves you and gives it up to you. It’s that easy.

PC Gaming

At work I’ve been asked quite a lot of times why I don’t play, newer, games on the PC. I usually tell people that I don’t want to deal with DRM which often earns me some weird looks.

The way I see it, as a paying and honest customer, I’m treated like a ticking timebomb. Always ready to turn around and pirate whatever game I feel like pirating. While the I can understand the publisher’s concerns (protecting their money) I simply don’t like jumping through burning hoops to be able to play the product that I’ve paid for. Read more

Patches and Customer relations

So Skyrim was released with a day one patch. This seems to be a disturbing trend with games these days. It makes one wonder how rushed the game was and how little playtesting was really done with the game itself.

HD Collections and Online Passes

This trend has been going on for a while in the Video Game Industry.

 

It all started with the harmless release of the God of War Collection (Sorry, not sure if there was one before that on the 360). It fitted into the picture since God of War 3 was about to be released. Not a bad idea, giving people the earlier games before it’s release so they’d get all fired up. I admit, I’ve bought it too since I haven’t played God of War 1 and 2. It was fun and all.

 

Now we have Sly Collection, Prince of Persia Trilogy, Metal Gear HD Collection, Silent Hill HD collection, Tomb Raider HD Collection and so on. Now the Achievements/Trophies for Resident Evil Code Veronica HD popped up. Square ENix also said they’d make a Final Fantasy HD collection if fans demand it.

Smashing Tables does deserve respect.

Found this little gem while searching the web, including the infamous table smashing topic made by Ade.

 

I always thought, with the death of the old Schthack PSO forums, this topic was lost forever. Actually, I even think the mods did delete the thread as I couldn’t find it when the old Invisionfree boards were still up and running.

 

Anyway, without further stalling….Enjoy.
