I don't think Netflix goes through PSN. I vaguely remember people being able to use it when PSN was down for that month. Could be wrong, though.

Oh  I'm aware, was stating though to show the connection is good and PS3 gets  the good connection it's just PSN that does not. A 4 meg patch timed out 4 times after 40 mintues each time I finally just gave up. 4 crappy megs.

Usually its fine here too but the last 4 days  it's be awful. Funny thing Is  I  can get full HD netflix streaming  with no problems fine for hours, but dling or playing a game ? forget it. I test connection 15 to 17 Mbps solid 4 or 5 upload  on both PS3 and Vita so it's a damn fine connection, it's just PSN.

But my PSN worked excellent tonight.

Played some COOP BL2 with Semerlus tonight, not planned he just jumped in my game, we had a blast! Coop is funnnnnnnnn!

Mrs is playing Cursed Mountain on Wii. One thing about good Wii games is that the controller disappears.  You forget you are holding a controller at all.

Graphically though, this game looks worse than a Dreamcast game, and that is not hyperbole.

Kinda harsh? You playing this on an HD set? This is another experience game vader hates.

Note, some advice for the missus:

The up move with the chuk, literally EVERYONE who plays the game has a problem with this and you know what's really stupid? The manual shows you how to do the move exactly and we're all too lazy to read the manual. You don't move the nunchuk UP. You push it forward, it shows this in the manual.




You do the moves soft and loose, whereas your instinct is to be forceful and fast. Once you know this it works very well.




I got used to combat, you do a RE4 move like jamming yourself against a wall or corner so you can't be flanked. It works well.

She will probably run into this really annoying boss indoors, check the thread for how to beat him. You have shake the remote to summon him, that boss.

Yeah, playing with component cables on HD set. It looks nothing like the images above.

She likes the game, graphics don't count anyway. Just a point of interest.

Try toggling your tv from the remote into 4:3 ratio. It does make a difference, but still wont be as good as an SDTV. I have no idea what these 4K Tvs are going to do to 1080p content, the gap is even larger than between SD and HD.

Harada would love to see Ono working at Namco Bandai, but no work would get done


"I think he (Capcom's Yoshinori Ono) would be a positive asset to the company and on that front we definitely would want to hire him. But personally working with him, I don't think we'd get very far in our jobs because we'd be too busy playing pranks on each other and putting animal turds around each other's desks. I think work would slow down a great deal if we worked together." - Tekken series producer Katsuhiro Harada
