This blog will talk about my thoughts and experiences in regards to gaming and at times general aspects of my life that I feel are important or should be discussed, and will also feature my segment known as "Unbiased Reviews". Feel free to make comments and track me, as I'm always looking for more friends.

  Everything is fixed...

  Just a quick post to state that everything has been fixed a bit ago, however you weren't informed because of my activity related issues, things are resolving however.

  Internet & PS3 no longer available.

  Recently my internet has been acting up again, and so I'm on a wi-fi laptop at the moment but even that is unsure to be a bypass of our problems, in any case I won't be on as much until this is fixed, but I will check in with the laptop.

  
  In addition my PS3 has decided to die 3 hours ago and now emits giant grinding noises when it puts in any disc, won't play many movies or discs, and freezes for most games (it hates MGS4 now. So now it has to go into service and I have to rearrange my GameFLy rentals and lose one of my gaming systems and most likely not have it back for like 15 days (wohoo another wait for inFamous)

  However, my Wii (which I never use) and my 360 are still working, so I'll be able to keep playing those and have thus updated my GameFly list with the removal of all PS3 games until my PS3 is fixed, so Prototype should come first.

  
  Edit:

  
  What confuses me of course is why it stopped working now, when it always worked for everything before... some of it still works, it can play a few movies and others it can't even load the title without waiting an hour... but Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm from GameFly worked for the first 12 hours and then today when I played it for another 3 it was fine... then it froze the game and ejected the disc and because of the slow save system and no quick save system I lost about 5 hours of play which was fine in my eyes ... but I tried to go through it again and it froze again... I could open Resistance 1 to see cinematics but the title screen loaded slow, perhaps from scanning the disc... whatever the cause was I keep trying to see if GameFLy somehow killed my console, but it shouldn't be possible since all it is, is a disc.

  If anyone has any insight I'd welcome it.

  Edit:
  
  Internet has been fixed, PS3 yet to be shipped.

  Edit 2:
  
  It seems I can load everything now, so I contacted Sony (which has the BEST customer service ever, and nearly instant response times with no holding as well as informative and nice people not from africa) and they said I should still send it in, so I will. I learned there is a 100% chance my harddrive will be erased so I'll loze my Killzone 2 and Valkyria saved information (copy locked) but that doesn't bother me that much as I didn't like those two games that much.

  Edit 3:

  Somehow the internet technician created another problem and so I have to wait for another 24 hours for them to send someone, my PS3 is also still being shipped and is in no way fixed.

  
  So... back where I started.

  Edit 4:

  INTERNET IS FIXED... apparently there were a lot of issues but they replaced the DVR, as well as my router, and outside lines, and a buried line should be coming through eventually, apparently my outlets are open ground and so I need to have an electrician ground them as they are creating problems, oh well.,

  Dawn of War II - Master Review Redux

  I've decided that after playing Dawn of War II again, that my review was unfair, in the way that it really didn't tell anyone anything aside from don't get the game, but that's not right and it doesn't help anyone, so I'm planning an "Unbiased Review" master version to offset that issue, and thus I'll be creating a new one on top of my original (I see no reason to delete the other) within the week. because an Unbiased Review seriously needs to be made.
