Got to the point. Had something to say. Was occasionally funny. Even made a joke at his own expense. I'd say this is a vast improvement.

If the increase in quality keeps up (and seriously, the difference between this week and week 1 is beyond night & day) then I'll keep watching.

I totally agree with you... except for those games that I've never played. But it would be great if sony brought these to the psn so I could try it out.

Every DAMN time that I have to turn on my PS3 I have to make those updates. To be honest, I think the longest time we haven't needed to update this console with a firmware is... wel... now, with the psn down.

And it really haven't stopped piracy, like you said, the only ones that lose here are the costumers, that have to deal with a slow download (why, WHY it takes so long?). And everytime that this happens, I get a litlle pissed off.

But not enough. You see, there are games wich I bought JUST to play online, like Killzone 2 and Demon's Souls, and THAT makes me miss even more psn, because I bought Demon's Souls last month and I was loving its online.

But, something that would be great would be give us a full game without restrictions. I get a litlle mad just to think that after one month with any game that Sony gives us with the PSN+, we will lose it.

To make things worst, even Sony doesn't know when the PSN is coming back. Now that's a kick in the nuts, specially if all that you have left with your games and what kept you playing them was the MP.

But... well, we will have to wait.

Yes, yes. This was much better. The previous one was a decent satire but extremely rude. This was funny to and not rude at the same time! Great, just continue like this and all of us will become great friends, yes?

(I will not mention the first episode, let it rot in hell or soma other uncomfortable&faraway place, forgotten.)

Watching the past three episodes in a row is like watching Time-Lapse Evolution. If anything I give you kudos for polishing your work in a hurry.

Some good points (firmware updates), but still not sure if Serious or Trollin... or both?

Here's hoping The Escapist doesn't go all Firefly on you and cancel prematurely. I'll be watching for more!

No. Xbox Live was not breached in 2007. Xbox Live was overloaded with server traffic after everyone got a 360 and a copy of Modern Warfare for Christmas, and service was spotty for two weeks. Not even close to being hacked and being down for 3-6 weeks (3 weeks being about how long PSN has been down right now, and 6 weeks being the stated maximum time Sony has given for it to remain down [SOURCE [http://www.gamespot.com/news/6312524.html]]).
I tracked it down http://www.zdnet.com/blog/security/xbox-live-hacked-accounts-stolen/131

It states that Bungie.net was breached which exposed Live. My mistake.

While both true, it doesn't matter when you consider the fact that this recieved international mass media attention by non-gaming news outlets.
We should all know that the media has a tendency to multiply the hysteria 100 times. I tend not to listen to the media much especially after that whole thing about Bulletstorm making you a rapist.

yeah no choice other than not updating
like literally 100's of machines have done, and are still happily sitting there running linux.

So the people this actually effects is nobody really. If you wanted a linux device you could have one, if you wanted a gaming device you could have one, nobody NEEDS both. Specifically nobody who can't afford two machines can't afford both.

It's a non-issue.
It effects nobody at all, (we are talking like 1-3% of users here) and everyone liked to jump aboard the hate train because its fun to hate regardless of it was remotely used or even if it could still be used.

think for yourself for god sake.
I have to agree with this. I also fail to see how removing the linux option justifies compromising their network and stealing millions of peoples personal data. Not to mention keeping honest, paying customers off the service they were given.

TOMBA.

Goddamn right, Tomba. One of the few games that wasn't backwards compatible on the PS2. I loved the crap out of that game. I might actually venture back onto the PSN to play it again, were I given the chance.

You mentioned Tomabi and the Medevil series
I am now a regular watcher
i love how all someone needs to do is name-drop an undersuccessful cult-favorite on this site to become instantly beloved and get away with saying ANYTHING.

watch this:
"GEE WILLIKERS! I sure do love me some of that Psychonauts! It sure was a GREAT game that no one played! Gee wiz that game deserved better!"

(i really do think it was good, but i think it may be just some sort of thing where people only love it because the average Cash-In of Duty nut hasn't heard of it)

Another complaint post coming:

So after reading some comments here about how this episode was supposedly better than the first two I decided to force myself to watch the entirety of it. I turned off the first 2 episodes after the first 30 seconds, and should have done the same here.

This guy is not funny when he tries to be.
This guy has no likable personality.
The video itself is boring, to watch. Not much visual impact.
The sound quality is lacking.

More to the point though, the title of the video is misleading and here is why:

His first two points, are basically him pleading for updates or remakes of older games a lot of people have probably never heard of, and therefore could care less about.

The third point is just him bitching about firmware updates. While some find it annoying, it doesn't bother me. Does anyone really think that a reduction in the amount of firmware updates would do anything to appease the majority of the PSN community over this data breach? I don't.

I really do not understand the purpose of this guy's videos. He says a lot without saying anything at all and manages to be boring and unlikable while doing it. I will not be watching and future episodes.

This was an overall better episode. Much less pointless ranting, more straightforward and to the point, though I could do with less "ummmm"'s. Your suggestions were silly, but made sense (at least the last one did. Those firmware updates do get quite annoying). Still would rather do without the bad MS Paint drawings, they're just stupid.

Overall, much better and has restored some of my interest in this series. Keep going and we'll see out it ends up.

But on the topic of Sony; I honestly don't care what they do so long as they beef up their security. I don't care if they gave us nothing, the things they've giving us are more collateral damage than anything, all I ask for is tighter security and making it safer to use their network.

If people like it, that's great. If people don't, they should be allowed to say so. After all, isn't that what a democracy is about.
I never said they weren't, I was merely positing a theory not shouting anyone down o_O
Not sure why the hostility tbh :(

I have a fourth thing they could do to bring people back. Add the ability to play PS2 games.

Seriously, this needs to be done. When my original PS3 finally died, I lost this. I want it back.

Bring back PS3 Linux and backwards compatibility.

Also, set up an entire department with the express purpose of making them 'suck less'.
