ApocolyPS3 2010 (and Bioshock 2 MP Trophy Bug)

IF you own a Playstation 3 you had to put up with some insanely stupid shit this past week. Apparently the internal clock (the one on a battery that runs 24/7) didn’t know that 2010 wasn’t a Leap Year.

So…all of us with a Fat PS3, the new Slim ones were fine, had our dates set to December 31, 1999! No big deal you say, and it really wasn’t THAT big a deal, but it had a few other problems while we waited for the clocks to flip over to March 2nd and fix itself.

This is where the real hilarity ensued for me anyways. First of all, EVERY game you tried to play on ApocolyPS3 day would delete all your trophies for that game. Just gone. So let’s say you just got a Platinum Trophy on the best game in forever Demon’s Souls you lost that bitch the second you started the game…

Of course when the clock flipped all was well for most people. Well…some. If you synced your trophies recently you got them all back, but if you didn’t, you are screwed. IF you did all you have to do is put the game in and lad them up and then re-sync with the server and the magically appear again in tact. If you didn’t sync them they are gone forever.

The RAGE people had over this the next day was just high comedy. PArents probalby wish they had taken out a bigger life insurance on the kid. Look at this fat asshole:

Especially for one game in particular that I noticed because it was the one I had been playing. Bioshock 2. You see like other idiot game developers such as say Rockstar and GTA IV, they added a bunch of ONLINE multi-player trophies for you to get if you wanted platinum. Dumbest shit ever since half the people online are just there to boost and get their damn trophies. Why Bioshock 2 is unique is that it has 4 trophies that rely solely on your online rank. You get 1 for Level 10, 20, 30, and 40.

You can guess what happened. People playing Bioshock 2 during the ApocolyPS3 lost all their trophies just like everyone else, but a few people could actually play online that day (some peopel couldn’t even play games OFFLINE that day). During that time they could level up and many passed one of those trophy levels and got them that day. Since they weren’t synced they might be Level 23, but they don’t have their Level 20 trophy anymore which means they are SCREWED. You can’t go back at this point. You can never get it again unless you sign in with another PSN ID, which means you have to get all the trophies again, and your precious Platinum won’t be on your account you always use.

Even if Sony is a bunch of douches, at least the makers of BS2 care a little bit, although they have no idea how to fix it. IF you have the problem read this thread on their forums and see if they ever come up with a solution :D .

Communion Wafer Buyers Also Buy Astroglide

If you have ever gone to Amazon.com you have most likely seen that they will tell you what customers who buy the product you are looking at also bought. Most of the time it doesn’t mean a whole lot,m and the products actually fit with each other. Sometime though…the combo just makes you laugh out loud.

In the case of the Communion Wafer (Communion wafers represent the Body of Christ in a Christian Religion. Extremely holy), we see some fascination common purchases by the wafer customer.

It takes a customer review to point out the hilarity many times, and Amazon reviews are hilarious many times as you might remember from the 3 Wolf Moon T-shirt.

In the case of the Communion Wafer, this review was found to be most helpful:

I can’t be the only one to have noticed this…, January 13, 2010
By An Inquiring Mind
…but isn’t interesting that the same guys buying communion wafers are also ardent purchasers of astroglide?

Just sayin.

As you can see by the comments, there are more than a few that have poked their jabs at the Catholic priests, and any other aspect of Christianity. Why this is so funny is because Astroglide is LUBE. You know, if you know anything about lube that t is used to make teh sex a little bit more slippy slidey.

Why lube and Christianity together is comical is well…because Christianity goes out of its way to make sure that everything related to sexuality is considered sinful. Sexual thoughts, sex for pleasure instead of pro-creation, masturbation is a huge no-no. The Catholic religion in particular makes sex something that any good Catholic should feel guilty about at all times, and surely will get them sent to hell if they even think about it. That’s right, you can’t even lust after a hot woman if you are Catholic because god will know you are and that is a sin. Makes you wonder why they even buy things like anti wrinkle face cream and super sweet clothes to look impressive at church on Sundays.

Besides the Astroglide being a top customer purchase by those who want Jesus in a cracker box, it appears that even the most devout followers (you must be devout if you are actually buying Christ wafers aren’t you?) have some misgivings about their faith. They are breaking a major law of the Bible and looking into FALSE GODS! Yes, that’s right. One of the other purchases are The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster! A false religion that was invented by people that are atheist to make fun of other religions.

and of course good Christians can’t possibly forget about the Jesus Killer Jews now can they? This has to be some sort of sub-conscious purchase here. Customers also bought the DVD entitle “Holocaust”…LMAO

There are plenty of other great reviews on the Communion Wafers page, so spend some time there checking them out. I just posted the “Most helpful” review, but others have joined seeking attention as well.

People Actually Troll Actors/Actresses IMDb Boards When They Die

If you are a real troll this is what you have to do I guess. I noticed this the other day when I was on IMDb.com looking up a movie I was gonna download and wanted to see who was in it. Then I noticed Brittany Murphy was in it so I figured I’d look at her board there since she just died last week.

While I wasn’t actually surprised I had never thought of looking at the IMDb boards when a celebrity dies. I have written before saying that the dumbest people on the internet frequent IMDb.com and that it was a troll paradise, but even I didn’t think of something this bad. I’ve seen people doing things like talking about selling international travel insurance on there when someone got into a plane crash, but it never really lasted very long. Now every celeb death on there ends up being compared to Michael Jackson and people talk about who’s death was a bigger deal. I mean serious, there are people that actually think Brittany Murphy was a bigger deal than Michael Jackson.

While most of them were pretty weak, one guy had me rolling pretty hard. It wasn’t really “trolling” as it was just funny. Odds are the guy was completely full of crap, but someone posted a few pics of Brittany from movies she was in where she was dead in the picture. Some idiot was asking if they should report the pics to IMDb so they would take them down (LMAO).

Anyways, this guy comes in and ask if there are anymore. Someone calls him sick and then he just goes on to talk about how he has Level 2 Necrophilia (sex with dead people…dar) and that he gets off when someone catches him. Preferably the family/friends of the deceased. It was just so over the top I laughed out loud.

It is actually still going on over there. People have been trolling the site for a good few days now and even over Christmas. It’s starting to get rather sad actually. These guys aren’t funny trolls at this point. They are certifiable.

F’d Up Game: Pathologic

I don’t know how I found out this game existed. Just one day all of a sudden I was spending hours reading about how poorly made it was. Then after a while I started to feel like I just HAD to play this game. It’s kind of like how you read about some movie directed by Lars Von Trier and see how people are disgusted, or even pissed off after seeing it, but you just want to see it more. (Von Trier “films” are f’n brilliant BTW.)

I think the article that finally sold me on Pathologic (PC) was this review from Eurogamer (Dude knows how to sell a game) that I stumbled upon. It is probably now considered the unofficial sales pitch for Pathologic I would guess.

This game is an absolute disaster. It is supposedly an award winning Russian game that they dubbed in English eventually. Very poorly mind you. I started playing this game and spent about 2 hours going WTF? as I wandered around this crazy ass town. Then I died and realized that I never saved so I had to start over at the beginning…LOL

So I did, and forgot to save again after another hour. Finally, I decided it would make sense to save a bit and I didn’t have to watch the 10 minute intro again and a again. I grabbed some stuff out of barrels that I don’t know what they are for. Not knowing what any of it was for. Talked to some whacked out kids and told them I would kill some people for them. Killed random people on the street because they wanted to kill me for some reason. I think THEY thought I killed some other guy, but that guy was actually me FATHER.

I have no fucking idea what I’m even doing in this game to be honest. Graphics are absolutely terrible. I keep dying because I either die of hunger because NOBODY int he town will sell my any goddamn food, there is no food lying around, sometimes I die because I just get “too tired”, but when I try to sleep so I don’t die of that I die because of hunger. I am screwed. I don’t know where the hell to get FOOD.

yeah…yeah…find a walkthrough. I hate using walkthroughs while playing PC games because you gotta ALT+TAB out of the game all the ime and games as horrible as these always crash. I don’t know what I’m going to do. I can’t send it back because I didn’t buy it where I could get a receipt out of a receipt printer…I can’t quit.

pathologic

^^WTF man? It’s not even blood. It’s dried PAINT…haha

American Dad Vs. Family Guy Kung Fu II Game

This game was pretty fun. It has every character from the American Dad and Family Guy series’ in a “Street Fighter II” kind of fighting game. Chris, Peter, Francine, Brian, Meg, etc. etc.

I would post all the game controls, but it would just be a waste of time since each character has their own special moves. On the main screen after the intro it has a link for “Instructions” and you can look at all the moves for each character individually. They also have Mortal Kombat style finishing moves from what I can ell, but I have yet to pull one off (I didn’t try too hard. I had to find some new auto insurance and was wasting time…lol)
