Breaking News: Xbox Live is populated by pottymouths!

News rarely hits as hard as this. An ABC local news broadcast cracked the case and relayed to the masses something of grave importance: People curse over Xbox Live! In the article, this Los Angeles ABC affiliate explains the trash talk and rampant password theft already ruining your children. YOU CAN’T SAVE THEM! Their solution? Unplug the headphones and crank up the sound so the racial slurs can resound through the home! Woo! Even though uh, pulling the headphones cripples what might be essential communication… Continue reading →

Xam’d: Delivering awesomeness via Airship Snail-mail

From the lion’s share of folks that brought you Fullmetal Alchemist & FMA: Brotherhood (Aniplex & Bones) comes a show so amazing that Sony sat on it to keep it from succeeding. Well, not necessarily, they sat on it because they assumed they could get away with hoarding the series in order to nurture their video sales on the PlayStation Network in the USA and Japan back in 2008. Like having an exclusive product in a store, the intent was to make people into consistent… Continue reading →

Sony: Rebranding to evade Predators and Tablets to bleed a dry market

Long Live Play isn’t the only strange change to come about for Sony. Sony is looking to change their image and stuff. They’re trying to throw certain parties, elements and methods under the bus in light of an additional lawsuit and the oft-referenced bad press from having one of the most horrific breaches of consumer information ever recorded. It is as though it finally dawned upon them to try and shake this shit, but in the typically ineffective Sony fashion. You’ve seen the “return” of… Continue reading →

Sony: Congress, Batman and Anonymous! Oh… my?

To say this has gotten weird does little justice to the circumstance. But hey, all these new victims can line up for free “Batman-Inspired” Cowls, right? As Sony tries to fan attention towards the swift gazelles that comprise Anonymous, the various predatory international Government entities circle Sony like a plump cow with a sprained ankle. After nipping at Sony’s ankles to drop the beast safely on the firm ground the feasting in the form of fines, seizure and compensation will be ripped from the MegaCorp’s… Continue reading →

PSN Hack: Hacker CC victim in Australia? Government snaps in action!

Posted on by

Five-hundred thousand pounds is nothing to sneeze at and given that Sony already has numbers like that climbing upward elsewhere in the world with the recent Class Action Suit in California, we are now greeted by the first potential ding to a customer victimized by the hack in Australia. Two grand was eaten up by the hackers as a man learned he had paid for some interesting things without his knowing and the uncomfortable proximity to Sony’s PSN breach seems too good to be a… Continue reading →

Penny-Arcade: Making light and money of your pain?

Hey guys! Remember THIS comic? Penny-Arcade suspects you do because they have a shirt up for preorder for the low price of $17.99 and perhaps a bitten lip. By lip, I mean YOURS (PS3 owners). And by bite, I mean HARD. I adore the PA guys. Met ‘em in person twice and the disappointment that they look NOTHING like their comic counterparts has haunted me ever since. Gah. In a weird way it made me respect them more because their online personas are so far… Continue reading →

Sony: Making things right amidst disaster? Uh… no.

Personally, I couldn’t trust Sony less at this point. They fucked up in a way that doesn’t heal easy, if ever. You may note some cynicism on my part here, but here’s the skeezy per Kotaku. Kotaku found indications of roughly 2.2 million user accounts have their contents up for sale. There’s a lot of skepticism about this because of the implication that the CVV2 codes come in tow and that’s both surprisingly unlikely and probably bullshit. It’s not a shining light, but silver linings… Continue reading →

Sony Update: Firmware, it’s happening. Again. Also things. And Hotz.

So your identities could be at risk, what’s the big deal right? Sigh. Here’s the Sony thing for the day. Between violent bouts of shitting themselves inside out, Sony gave their PR puppet the news that they would be distributing a firmware package to fill in holes and lead their Network into a brighter tomorrow. Just don’t mind that constant toilet flushing noise. That’s just the price of their stock dipping as investors slip through the drain. I’d go talk smack on their blog (Pfft,… Continue reading →

VG Cats: OMG they makes comics now?!

If any of you are familiar with Scott Ramsoomair’s VG Cats comic, you’ll agree… updates are practically newsworthy. It has become a consistent bit of humor just citing his unpredictable, sporadic rates of updating. Anyway, this recent one reacts to the farce surrounding Sony’s security and is delightful. I adore VG Cats and am remarkably fond of Ramsoomair’s spastic art style and whimsically perverse antics he calls humor. You should be too. Just… be patient for updates. And consult his archive a lot.

Sony: Paying the piper

Stuff on Sony is popping up so fast I can’t even find time to comment on all the other shit going on in the world. Two things: 1) The first Class Action lawsuit has been filed against Sony. Filed in California, the Lawsuit addresses the breach and theft of data as well as the length of time Sony took to inform customers of a security breach. 2) Sony is likely to be slammed with over £500k in fines from the results of the recent breach… Continue reading →
