PS3 System Software Update Available Now (UPDATED)

Hey fellow Playstation 3 owners, seems that a system update for your currently offline-only PS3 is available right now to get your system ready for PSN’s return to online activity, supposedly by the end of the month.

According to the Playstation blog post (link below), you should be able to change your password (please do so!) after updating but that key feature is eluding me right now. I’m still getting a “Playstation Network is currently undergoing maintenance” message when I try to log in. Oh well.

GOOD LUCK!

Here’s the link for info: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/05/14/ps3-system-software-update/

UPDATE: So it seems the PSN is slowly coming back online now, even. At least multiplayer functionality anyway. Watch the progress across the US unfold here:  http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/05/14/play-on-%E2%80%93-psn-restoration-begins-now/

Don’t see anything for Canada yet but who knows.

 

PUCK YOU! Conference Finals and Tragedy

As we sit awaiting the puck to drop commencing the start of the third round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Conference Finals, some sad stuff has been broken by news media. While normally the PUCK YOU! series is one of conversation, and not an editorial, I felt I would break away from tradition to briefly discuss some of these topics.

Pintnoir’s Free Comic Day Experience

Comics. For some of us it was our first reading experience, laying on the bed and cracking open the newest adventure of Spider-man, Batman or Spawn. I was one of those kids, I normally contribute writings to movie/television reviews and being apart of the dreaded Internet Wrestling Community, but my one true love is comics. Especially if they’re free. Read more »

Totally revealing & captivating first trailer for CODMW3 is out now! OMG.

In what can ONLY be described as my greatest find ever on the internet of all time, I have witnessed the amazingly detailed, first ever,  totally revealing trailer for Call Of Duty MW3.   Prepare to be bedazzled with visual info on the next big thing from IW, right here, right now!   Ok, seriously, if your into COD your not exactly going to be thrilled with this teaser, but at least its the start of what will surly be a long hype train that is soon to folly. For now, we are stuck with this teaser trailer that shows us, well, a lot of absolutely nothing to be honest.  We do , however, talk about the info that has been coming out about this highly anticipated title on Wonderpod video game podcast episode 63, which is available for Mp3 download right here at WPO, or on iTunes and Apple TV. Enjoy the teaser, if you can, I guess. More details soon, I hope.

Wonderpod Episode 63

Wonderpod is ready to go and being launched on Friday the 13th no less. Does this mean there will be haunting glitches in the file? Perhaps there will be a terrifying scream during the news? I will just kill the suspense right now and tell you none of that is going to happen. Mostly because we had no clue this show was coming out on the dreaded 13th. So it is just us babbling about video games.

Crush Trailer

Hey a release trailer for a new game on the 3DS, the crowd goes wild. The game won’t be out until September, the crowd begins to throw rocks.  I will keep pimping 3Ds game trailers as I can already see the potential of the little beast. Even if some “analysts are trying to cause a panic because sales went flat.  This game is called Crush and it’s a platform puzzler. Enjoy the trailer from gametrailers.

Facebook Prank Shark

Oh man I am not very with it this morning. I was out very late last night and writing isn’t a top priority this morning. Yet here I sit tapping away on this bloody thing while chili peppers plays in the background. I started my morning watching some PATV. Which is a series I highly recommend you check out. I am pretty sure I would not fit in with the PA crew, but they seem to have the same feel of crews I run with.
