Jimquisition: How Sony Can Make it Up To You

I concur, it still was particularly funny or insightful, but I was able to watch the entire thing without shutting my browser in disgust. Work on some more highbrow jokes (less dicks and MS paint), improve the video quality, and keep the screaming rants to a minimum and this might actually become something that's worth watching.erbkaiser said:
Good work, you managed to pull this thing out of a nosedive before it got written off as worthless.
Ahh... the delay between when the video gets made and the video gets posted... I have to wonder if the identity theft protection and free games would've made this video irrelevant if he saw them coming when writing the script.
Most of the people praising this ep are just happy he mentioned 2 old games.
No-one seems to be mentioning the point that the system update thing was the CAUSE of this whole fiasco in the 1st place [You DO NOT fuck with people who want to install Linux on a PS3, those guys mean business].
It pains me to think that there are people who could do a far better show than this waiting on the side-lines while Jim flounders around rambling about subjects that have either been covered before on this very site or talking out of his arse about a serious subject that has affected MILLIONS of people.

It's not British humour. I'm not only from Britain, but the same part of it as he is, and his points are just too off the mark for a lot of people. It doesn't have anything to do with the humour he's using.Archmike said:The problem I think he's having is that British humour doesn't translate well over to you fellows in the colonies. Hence why you get utter travesties like the US version of Red Dwarf >.<
To me it's fairly obvious the arrogance is a put on, it's definitely a joke to cover up insecurities. I do it all the time and I'm utterly wonderful
I think he's brilliant, keep it up dude!
This isn't Red Dwarf, nor is it Monty Python or The IT Crowd (or the insanely huge list of incredible UK comedies). On the plus side, I don't think it's trying to be any of those either.
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.
far better than the first two, but I don't really see much of a point here, besides a 'firmware updates are annoying' and a christmas wishlist combination.
As it's true that Sony are going to have a hard time to rebuild their image, what people still need to remember is that people were jerks enough to breach it in the first place. So it's not entirely their fault. Also wasn't Xbox Live breached in 2007? Seems like they made it out ok.Hitman Dread said:
OT: I'm surprised anyone still remembers MediEvil
Actually, I thought this episode was weaker than the last two. It could be because I was not interested in what you were talking about, but whatever. The quality of the show does seem to be improving however, and you can be genuinely funny at times. I am not yet a fan, but I will continue to watch the show to see what else you decide to act like a pompous arse about (and I mean that in the best way possible).
Also, I totally agree with you about Medievil 3. Let us hope Sony has a surprise for use when E3 rolls around...

Definitely a better show than the previous two. Speaking personally, it's still got a long way to go before I'd say I enjoy it, but this is definitely a step in the right direction.
The last two were annoying because it felt like you were speaking down to the viewer, this time you're speaking down to a third party and we're in on the joke - this makes it possible to enjoy it.

I think Jim hit the nail right on the head there. I wouldn't mind updating the firmware more often if it ever added something to the ps3 experience that I want.drisky said:
However, in their futile battle against hackers, they have only taken away functions of the machine. Allow us to use custom soundtracks for every game with the next update. Allow us to record video with every game on another update.
It's bad enough that they waste resources trying to keep the hacking of the machine at bay (when it's just going to happen anyway) but what makes it worse is that it doesn't improve the experience for their actual legitimate users who are now starting to get real sick of their BS. It's now at the point where they're going to have to work really hard to appease the few remaining legitimate users they have.
And they have to do it quickly. It would be a shame for them to shore up security, get everything set, only to find that everyone has moved on.
Well that was... boring...
I watched because I like spectacular failures. Like Train crashes. This was more like a train pulling into the station on time.
Thankfully it was free of crude cocks everywhere it was inane. There's nothing too any of Jim's shows after you get past the shock of some fat guy pretending he's better than everyone in the world.
There were three points.
"Give me a game that I liked"
"give me a sequel to a game I liked"
"Whine about Firmware updates"
Agreed that firmware updates get a touch annoying, but an entire episode about it?
I could see a bit of an episode here or there trolling his fans, but it seems that's all he does with little substance when you look past that.

That explains it then. I saw your screenshot and immediately said "That's not what my progress bar at the bottom looks like."erbkaiser said:Looks like this to me:mjc0961 said:
Sandboxed. Bars on top and bottom remain even if I blow it up to fullscreen (userJS), doesn't happen for the other vids here. Shall try the Flash copy.
//Edit: Flash doesn't have the top and bottom bars.
I fail to see how avatars would be practical. Either you mean the little PNG icon next to everyone's name on your friends list, in which case it's just a little PNG icon that doesn't do anything so it's not important in the first place. In fact, I think that'd be a slap in the face really. "We're sorry about all the downtime, so here's the ability to upload a small image file that nobody is going to look at for more than a few seconds. Enjoy." Or you mean giving PS3 users a version of Nintendo's Miis and Microsoft's Avatars, in which case they already don't do anything important on the Wii and 360, so how would they be practical on PS3?Drakos.Amatras said:
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]]).WaaghPowa said:
