Weekly Video 10/17

Here's this week's video. Ever heard of  Rémi Gaillard? No? (or yes, I can't read minds) He's a French dude who goes around and basically ticks people off. It's super funny. Here's one now:



Also, I've posted some more Uncharted 3 plays on my YouTube Channel. You can watch them there or on this separate playlist I made. Anyways, I'll see you later!

Weekly Video 10/09

Sorry I haven't posted recently, but you know how it's been. School starting again, or was it just laziness? Anyways here's this week's video.Ever seen the Windows 1.0 commercial? I've been trying to install Windows 3.1 on my computer. The download was only 8 MBs and it takes up 7 floppys.



Also I've been playing the Uncharted 3 Subway Experience (even though it's not in Canada) and it has a upload to YouTube feature and I've been posting some cool plays on my channel. Here's one now.



Enjoy! I hope to post more soon. Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Summer is Here

Helllooooo summer! Yep, it officially started for me on Wednesday. Gotta love, no school for 2 whole months, yeah it's pretty pathetic if you think about it, but its better than a couple weeks.

There's probably been some news going around that DTC5 is coming. Yeah, it is, we've got all the footage, but I'm having trouble getting it finished because my computer wasn't made to edit HD video. Every time I try to edit now, it'll crash. So I have no idea when it's gonna be here. Unless I got an insane amount of cash somehow for a new computer, I could probably have it complete in a few days. Sorry.

In other news, the Uncharted 3 Multiplayer Beta is awesome! Quickly grab your free 30 days of PlayStation Plus before Sunday when it's all gone and get the beta. It's awesome!

So I think it's about time for a weekly video, or 2.





Have a great summer!!!

PS3 Data All Gone

Well, it's official. About a week ago, my brother made an attempt to upgrade the PS3 Hard Drive without backuping any data, and now we've lost everything.

For those who want to know: He wanted to upgrade by plugging the HDD into the computer and transfer everything over to the new Hard Drive. BIG MISTAKE! The HDD would not show up in My Computer, so we went to Disk Management and it asked if we wanted to create a MBR (Master Boot Record) we said yes and we later found out that it had overwrote the system boot up part of the disk. So after we gave up and put the HDD back in the PS3, it asked us to put in a External Drive with the latest firmware and it will reformat the drive. So we bring the HDD over to a friends' and see if he could get it working, after about 5 hours of work, no luck. Although we were able to recover a few files with some extensions I've never heard even heard of before. Here's a picture of what we've recovered:

So we're both basically starting from scratch. On the bright side, we now have a bigger, faster Hard Drive and we upgraded our internet late last month.

PSN Is Up. Did You Know That?

Yes, the PSN was back up some time last evening for the US, and sometime last night for Canada. So you all woke up this morning with a surprise.

That's all I wanted to say. But hey? Isn't that something worth posting? Don't answer that.

PSN Is Down. You Probably Knew That

Yep, it's been a few weeks since it's been down, and yes, I knew that a long time ago. A couple weeks ago I was at a trip in Vancouver. Very nice city, but in my opinion, too many Asians, I mean, a church I went to there (which by the way was the most amazing church I've ever seen, even ones on TV don't compare) was over 70% Asians, not that it's a bad thing, but it sure was a big culture shock.

Well, I think it's time for our weekly video. With the PSN is down, and let's hope it isn't too much longer, here's a funny video about it.



So what have you been doing while the PSN is down? Leave a comment.

Happy First Post of 2011

Merry Christmas and 2011 everybody! Thanks for the 820 views!! (347 alone last month) Let's just say Christmas was awesome and it'll suck to go back to school tomorrow.

Here's what I got:

PlayStation Move Bundle
Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit
Uncharted 2: Game of the Year
$40 PSN cash
and more fun stuff like Pac-Man boxers.

Here's this week's video.

Because I pre-ordered LittleBigPlanet 2 Collector's Edition last week or so, here's a slightly new trailer.



So what did you get for Christmas? Leave a comment, there are many types of accounts you can use to comment.

The First Gran Turismo 5 Post (Plus My New TV Review)

Been a while since I've posted something other than the weekly video, so here I am, saying I've finally got a nice new TV and showing off a few GT5 pics.

So yeah, new TV. A beautiful 42 inch Samsung Plasma for $500. I guess you could call this a review, so HERE ME RANT! And if you want to see it on it's website, click here.

First of all, it's looks. Lets just say it looks wonderful in my living room, and fits it perfect. It has a nice glossy black finish with buttons hidden on the front, so you don't have to reach behind it.

Picture. Wow. HD is so nice. It's supposedly a 720p TV, but the native resolution is sadly a bit below 720p, so really thin lines don't always look good, but it will allow you do 1080p but I won't recommend it if its not even made for 720p. The colours look pretty good, but for some reason reds look a bit more pink, maybe I need to do more tweaking. Let's just say it looks significantly better than my old 27 inch CRT.

Sound. Good, better than my CRT that's for sure. Not really much to say here, but it sounds really good.

Features. A lot to mess around with. For example, I can make it when I turn on my PS3 to turn on and change to the right input (aka HDMI-CEC). It will automatically dim depending on the room brightness. It has 2 HDMI ports, 2 Component (1 is used as Composite), audio out, ect. It has a good amount to use.

Final Debate. There are definitely better ones out there, but for it's price I highly recommend it. If you're looking to upgrade to HD, it's a really good choice. I give it a 7.5 / 10. I just love HD.

Now onto the Gran Turismo 5 Pics.

 

There's just a taste of what I'll probably post of GT5 on the blog. Hope you like it.

And don't forget the Blog's Anniversary in 7 days.

The ModNation Post

Today's the day ModNation comes out and my order is on it's way. First it was gonna come around June 3rd to 8th but I got conformation today that it would come May 31st! "I'm so excited, that I just can't hide it!"

Recently, I've been messing around in the demo and taken some pictures. Check 'em out!

Just Wanted To Post

Nothing has really happened recently, except for the blog getting a complete overhaul, surveys being added, some funny pictures in LittleBigPlanet, getting a new puppy on Saturday and getting banned from the school computers again, but I just felt like posting.

Here are those funny pictures:

"Nooo!! Tiger shark!!!"

"You can't fly! Get down!!!"

Sackboy got sacked!

By the way, ModNation comes out in 13 days!!!

What's New 4/30

A lot has happened since I last posted but I'm only gonna say the highlights.

First, school has been as gay as ever, and it gets worse when the techies come and claim I'm a hacker when all I made was a plain fake virus (I'll show you to make your own below). Then, a few weeks later, about 40 or so people, me being one of them get called down to the library and the same techie was there saying we had 'illegal' music on our accounts. The funny part was about half the people called down either didn't go to school there anymore or had graduated. My question is, how do they get busted now after having music on over 10 years later? Is our school being picked on? Anyways, the punishment for the fake virus was being banned from the internet at school until the end of April (this happened around the end of March).

In other news, I got a few more PS3 games (you can see them on my trophy page), I'm ever more excited for ModNation Racers coming out May 25th and I've recently been doing some work on Paper Internet Explorer (Computer) v.2.2 which has gotten an overhaul. I'll try to post again soon, see ya!

And now for:

How To Make A Fake, 100% Safe, Virus!

Step 1

Make a new blank Word document or something else

Step 2

Rename the file by right-clicking it and pressing Rename or press the link on the side (which I had to do at school because for some reason they disable right-click! Why?)

Step 3

Rename it to some like BarracudaKill.AGoodVirus (Barracuda is my school's stupid web filter) or whatever you decide

Step 4

Press 'Yes' on the box, this means the file has become broken, so how can it be dangerous?

Step 5

Ta-Da! A 100% Safe and Fake Virus!

And that's the end of today's how-to. See ya!

What's New 2/12

It's time for What's New, and this one's special!

February 2nd: Time to go back to school. :(

February 3rd: My Birthday!!! :D But today didn't go as I expected; barely anyone remembered! Even EA remembered and gave me a 25% off coupon!

February 6th: I got my birthday present, a new stereo, and it sounds good!

February 7th: Set up a shelf for my stereo.

February 9th: The new Tobymac CD came out!

February 12th: I downloaded the new Tobymac CD. I'm listening right now! Also, today the winter break starts tomorrow, so no school until February 22nd!

I also think I took the perfect picture of my sackperson.

He's just begging to be made an avatar!

I hope to post back soon, and I'm guessing on Sunday at 12 AM!

What's New 1/28

Sorry it's been so long since I last posted. So I'll go through a list of what I did:

December 18th: This was when I last posted. The school and church banquet was today.

December 25th: Christmas, duh. The main gift I got was Gran Turismo PSP.

December 26th: Got a $50 PSN Card and bought LBP Water (awesome!) and Final Fantasy VII (sweet game!).

December 28th: Using my card, I got Flower, PJ Shooter and more LBP stuff.

December 31st: Got ModNation Racers Beta (horrible beta, great game) with only 10 days left. :(

January 4th: Went back to school.

January 11th: ModNation Racers Beta expired. :'(

January 18th: Got a 16GB card for my PSP and with it, Beats (my PSN Card is now empty). The card still has 2.4 GBs left!

January 25-28: Exams.

And that's what I did mostly.

I also took some more PS3 pictures.

LittleBigPlanet

Top Right: It's a walking flower with a Paintinator.
Bottom Left: Lol! I'm Mr. Bean!
Bottom Right: Getting ready for water!

Today, aec made it to LittleBigPlanet. And who knows? It might just be the new aec icon.

ModNation Racers

I also attempted to make SpikeMan but I didn't get a picture of him yet.

The game was supposed to come February 2nd, but I don't think it will.

Not only am I excited for ModNation Racers, but I'm also excited for the new Tobymac CD which comes out February 9th.

I hope to post back soon. See ya!

Messing Around in PlayStation Home

So yesterday, I was messing around in PlayStation Home while I was downloading something. When I was, I found some weird pictures.

Look, I know this looks like a regular picture of the Mall. But I'm telling you, there WAS a M-Rated sign in the window!

This guy WON'T STOP STARING! He's a creeper!

This guy's username is ObamaSucks_(something).

This just goes to show how slow my internet is!

Look! It's in the bowling alley too!

Look, it's a face!!

More pictures are to come.
