I’m extremely upset.
What idiot stores passwords??!?!?! Really? It’s the first thing you learn about any type of login security. You don’t store the password. You make a hash or an md5 of the password and store that. How they hell am I ever supposed to trust these people again?
Thankfully my address and cc# info is changing soon anyway.. but wtf!!!!
This is really ridiculous.. and the fact that they waited 6 days to tell everyone.

Nintendo doesn’t care. They recognize that when a user can hack their console that it’s their fault for botching the security, not the user’s for being smart enough to find the flaw. They also follow Shane’s philosophy:

If Sony had left it alone most people would have left them alone.The guy Sony sued for “hacking” released ALL his research and code via bittorrent so that anyone who wanted to carry on his work could do so. Because of this, the information Sony sought to destroy is now spread all over the web and impossible to delete.
Compare that to Nintendo, where they left the firmware hackers alone and most of the hackers kept their code in-house and off the internet. Hell, the guys who originally cracked everything have specifically kept their work out of the public domain to prevent piracy of games. When you treat your customers with a little respect, and not like criminals, it goes a hell of a long way in earning their respect.
I agree with this. I would go a step further and say if console manufacturers opened their consoles further allowing certain types of homebrew while still locking down the games they will see a lot less resistance. I don’t mean allow otherOS but I mean allow for free and easy development of applications on a gaming system…
The more I think about it.. I want to see an Android console.
MasterP said:
Yeah while it’s backwards compatible with the Wii, most homebrewers will be keeping theirs plugged up. You can bet Nintendo will be fixing all the bugs this time around
One can dream….
At least Nintendo doesn’t raid peoples homes looking for their secret files of hackery. We’ll probably see an eFuse / qFuse chip in it similar to that of the 360 and Motorola phones.
I wonder how much of a gamble it would be to buy it right when it came out and never patch it..
Yeah I’ve heard similar info..
Something to the effect of having ds’s for controllers. It’s been a while since nintendo tried to compete in any hardware fashion.. I wonder if they are putting forth a serious effort here and how it will work out for them.
Nonetheless, I’m very excited.
PS. I don’t want to get rid of my wii with my 130+ games and emulation abilities.

i still need to buy this game. Since I missed out on the awesome preorder sales (don’t get me started on this), I am now stuck waiting to find this on sale on steam or otherwheres. I refuse to pay more than $35, even though it is worth more than that.
It’s a great game.. dont get me wrong.. Awesome story and inventive, original, and exciting gameplay.. Very entertaining and i’m definitely glad I bought it.
but it’s horribly short. I’m not sure that it is worth more than $35. I’ve finished the single player and after I finish the multiplayer, I’m not sure if I will ever play the game again..
It’d be nice if they had community created levels.. That would make the game worth full price any day of the week.
Dice needs to drive to charloot to see lemm about barrowing that disc for a week or so
Might be arranged

They can’t log in… Derp…
From what I’ve read, the whole reason they did this is because of a newer CFW(re-bug) that allows people to imitate a dev console on PSN… Apparently they didn’t lock the network down at all to dev consoles because they assumed no one would ever get one.
So naturally they punish everyone by shutting down the network for a week.. longest outage evar.

Sure would be better if PSN didn’t go down immediately after it came out and stay down for 4 days and counting…
So first they didn’t know why things were down, then blamed the outage on hackers, then took it down to “investigate” the “intrusion”, now they’re “re-building our system to further strengthen our network infrastructure”.
So in essence, they broke something. Since Steamworks was the latest addition I imagine the system couldn’t handle the total epicness of PC players using their network so they’re having to rebuild it. Faster, stronger, more MBs. I want the one with more emm-bees.
That could be it.. or it could be an exploit in the latest version of PS Home which was just released as well. Portal 2 requires the latest 3.6 firmware.. (The first game to do so) and this firmware hasn’t been cracked yet.. so I don’t think it’s steam but it is possible.. Probably won’t be any way to know since sony will most likely not tell us anything.
All we know is that they’re trying to make it more secure and have to have the whole thing shut down to do it. I want 6 extra days of PS+ and free stuffs for my pain and suffering.

Anyway just finished single player! Yay me. Great game..

Well make sure y’all post when you can play!
PSN has been down all day.. which means I can’t connect to steam either..
MasterP said:
Yeah but you still couldn’t be using both at the same time. When you log into Steam it kicks you out of the Steamworks account on PSN just as if you had logged into Steam on another PC.
I’m not even sure how well selling the PS3 copy will work, doesn’t it come with a single-use Steam key?
Well the idea is that you create a dummy PSN account that you will never use again for the person you are selling it to…
Problem solved.. profit.
Explanation.. you have to link a PSN to Steam and then use the included code on steam. If you create a dummy psn account that you will never use again, link it to someone’s steam account, never use the PSN again.. the person will never have an instance to conflict with them.
Just a theory.. but I don’t see how this wouldn’t work.

Hey Lemm does this bring back memories?

Wow, that was extremely accurate. Most of those applied to me or someone I knew in college. I did have the one where the teacher had a phd in Computer Science and used a transparency sheet with projector….
they should have added one though…
JUST FINISHED THE FINAL

TAKE YOUR GRADED MIDTERM ON THE WAY OUT
MasterP said:
Yeah to all those who bought the PS3 version and are thinking about selling their PC copy keep in mind that you can’t both be logged in at the same time.
Technically you could register another PSN .. play portal.. link it to another steam account ..
Then use the code on that account.
So you could still technically sell the game.. it’s just slightly difficult.
ugh i owned a lot of the games in the potato sack .. so there was no reason for me to spend 40 bucks on it..
that’s pretty cool though

tonight I will probably be playing portal 2 tho
How does this PS3-Steam thing work? I can has need of a coop friend.
Basically you have access to your PSN Friends list and you have access to your Steam Account friends list (You do have to link your psn to your steam account by logging into steam in-game). Just go down your steam friends list and invite someone and you can play together.
Last night Chupa and I played through the co-op a bit… it was pretty awesome. I was able to talk to him using my PS3 bluetooth mic in-game while he was playing on PC.
And we will play soon!
Awesomez..
tonight I will probably be playing portal 2 tho.. when you want to set up a time? I’m good usually mon-wed cus that’s when gf isn’t around
Black Ops with Surround Sound…
Wow, now I have a reason to play Black Ops again.
Although, I never thought I’d think a 32″ tv was too small until I tried to play Black ops from 8 ft away. I may look dumb playing with a chair in between my couch and my tv.. but I kill u better!
Lemm’s Black Ops Team ASSEMBLE!
and by that I mean Dicey and Adam let’s play sometime soon.. I have the ak again!
Well my friend John who also lives at my apartment complex lied and told us the pool was heated… of course he was not there to yell at once we found out otherwise.
PS. he is an *edited*
wow. all is forgiven
I understand the value of sleep… although you missed late night shenanigans with bk crowns at dominoes pizza and lemm throwing his gf in the pool

So, i got to see lemm in person again
and it was good
then i went and did habitat for humanity and crushed my left hand pinkie
it hurt and i couldn’t curse
and it was not good
Good to see you too man. Sorry to hear about your hand.
BTW I might have blacked out a bit after you left.
Sometimes I think I’d like to scream out “SharePoint” the way James Tiberius Kirk shouted out “Khan”
Sony & Geohot settled out of court….
As long as he doesn’t hack any mo’ ps3s
I guess I don’t blame the guy.. it is a way out.. but *edited* I wish he had more ballz to stick it out.
