I hear the good thing about this hack is the ability to use Linux again.Quote:

I think Violator was using Linux on his system...the big bonus of that is you can play NES/SNES roms on the PS3.Quote:

Yeah I used it for programming some stuff as well as a ROM machine. Glad if I can get it back, that will free up a comp and get that comp to the pure media server it was supposed to be.
Edit: Wow if that is the actual case (Sony not generating randoms) that is to quote him " an epic fail on Sony's part" that is pretty funny if that is the actual case. i am not surprised that Sony missed it. That makes me happy that I might be able to get my hands on it within a month!!

I'm about more than halfway through Heavy Rain.....WOW
My wife wouldn't even let me play it without her being present in the room. Have you done the 3rd trial yet?Quote:

Me too. Everyone died on me too but it still blew me away. I really need to take the time to play through it again and get one of the good endings or something.Quote:

The 3rd trial was in an apartment. It's easily the most gruesome of the all the trials and left the biggest impact on me.Quote:

This is cool! :D
PacMap lets you chomp around your city as Pac-Man
So did you carry on with your original game? That's how you got it play through it the first time. Take whatever comes your way. Any playthroughs afterwards, you should play it how you feel.Quote:

It was when Madison was on the doctor's table...so I looked to see how to escape from the table and replayed it :)Quote:

i just thought it was funny, cuz during the whole time, he said, "i dont want to bad mouth walmart or anything, but most of the time, they wont even honor their own website prices in-store. thats not very cool to their customers." the chick also had this funny look on her face as she asked the manager, "how can they offer it that low?"
anyways, best buy matched the $37.99 price, and when i used a $25 gift card, i ended up getting it for only $16.22. pretty good deal, i thought.
You all suck ... no one died on me.
It's like God of War III in terms of the Quick Time events, but otherwise it's nothing like God of War. The quick time events get pretty intuitive after a while, and other than one scene near the end of the game, you can mess up on a lot of the events and still succeed at the game. You can also change the settings based on how comfortable you are with the controller, which would influence how complex the events become.Quote:

Talks about the set pieces and the FPS genre in general, and a lot of the factors going into the game's design. Good read anyway, but especially for someone like me that's interested in game design.
Great job, Game of the Year! LOL!Quote:

Oh, I'm planning to replay it, just haven't had time ... and, honestly, it's tough to get myself to get back into the mood of playing such an incredibly emotional game.
Here's a YouTube video of all the endings if you don't ever have time. SUPER SPOILERS!!!Quote:

Thanks for that. Now I don't have to play it a billion more times...
Heavy Rain was game of the year for me. Never played anything that drew me in like that. I didn't want to do anything else. In a world where it's so hard to distinguish the difference between games - Heavy Rain was absolutely amazing. I never thought I'd like that kind of game. I like shooters and sports games.

How it ended my very first playthough. Spoilers belowQuote:

I can press the eject button and it comes out just fine. Nothing ever happens on the GUI... never gives an error, never shows the game to be able to start it, etc.
About the only suggestions I've found (other than send it to Sony) are to clean out the dust and also to use a laser lens cleaning disc. Any other thoughts?
Happened to me 3 times. Bad Bluray Drive. You can try cleaning, but I tried that the first time and it didn't help at all. Sony charges $150 to fix it if it's out of the one year warranty.
What's strange is that it was working perfectly fine on Sunday. Then, I've been out of town up until today (with the heat off in the house if that factors in) and it starts acting up today... first sign of any defect.Quote:

Psp2 info Jan 27.
My first two froze while playing a game and stopped working after I rebooted. The last time is just randomly stopped after I had tried to play for the first time in 3 days. They're notorious for breaking a LOT, but unlike Microsoft, Sony is just really good at covering up just how often that happens. If you have a phat, I'd suggest possibly getting a new slim. The newer slims have bluray drives that are actually manufactured by Sony and are said to be much better even though the 3rd system that I had the issue with was a slim. I've had my current slim for a few months and it's already starting to make clicking noises.Quote:

Mine's doing it too and it's worrying me (since my 360 has completely stopped reading discs now and is WELL out of the warranty).Quote:
