now playing:
Do-Re-Mi Fantasy - Milon no Dokidoki Daibouken

it's a very polished platformer for Super Famicom (Japanese version of SNES). great graphics (for 1996), great mechanics, and very entertaining gameplay. this is 16-bit gaming at its best!

haven't played the first 2, but Grandia Xtreme is total CRAP

3 has one of the best battle systems ever, it's just that there's not much challenge

The first 2 are awesome, although they have really crappy and pixelated graphics.

3 has pretty nifty graphics

Today I had to do the unthinkable but also forseeable action of cancelling my WoW subscription.

It had to be done, it was taking up wayyyy too much of my life.

FAO Anyone who uses the PlayStation Network:

Quote:

Sony is warning its millions of PlayStation Network users to watch out for identity-theft scams after hackers breached its security and plundered the user names, passwords, addresses, birth dates, and other information used to register accounts.

The stolen information may also include payment-card data, purchase history, billing addresses, and security answers used to change passwords, Sony said on Tuesday. The company plans to keep the hacked system offline for the time being, and to restore services gradually. The advisory also applies to users of Sony's related Qriocity network.

Sony's stunning admission came six days after the PlayStation Network was taken down following what the company described as an “external intrusion”.

Sony had already come under fire for a copyright lawsuit targeting customers who published instructions for unlocking the game console so it could run games and applications not officially sanctioned by the company. The criticism only grew after Sony lawyers sought detailed records belonging to hacker George Hotz, including the IP addresses of everyone who visited his jailbreaking website over a span of 26 months.

Hackers howled with displeasure saying they should have a right to modify the hardware they legally own. Sony recently settled that case, but Hotz, whose hacker moniker is GeoHot, has remained highly critical of the company. Many have also objected to the removal of the so-called OtherOS, which allowed PlayStation 3 consoles to run Linux.

Sony's advisory on Tuesday means that the company was likely storing passwords, credit card numbers, expiration dates, and other sensitive information unhashed and unencrypted on its servers. Sony didn't say if its website complied with data-security standards established by the Payment Card Industry.

Sony reminded users located in the US that they're entitled to receive one credit report per year from each of the three major credit bureaus. The company didn't offer to pay for any sort of credit monitoring service to help ensure the information it lost isn't used in identity-theft ruses against its users.

“When the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services are fully restored, we strongly recommend that you log on and change your password,” advises a letter that Sony is sending to its users.

Of course, that suggestion assumes users continue to trust Sony to safeguard their information and stand behind assurances that the PlayStation Network is secure, and at the moment there's little evidence to support that assumption.

User data stolen in Sony PlayStation Network hack attack ? The Register

Yeah, I was going to create a thread to let people know and post an article that I'm in the middle of reading atm.

All you have to do is just make sure to monitor your bank statements to verify that you aren't charged with items fraudulently

Going to start playing through Shenmue I on the Dreamcast after this semester is over, and am going to finish Mercenaries: Playground Of Destruction. Don't have time right now to play anything.

if and when I finish Grandia III, i'll have a go at completing Tales of the Abyss

About the PSN...damn. I'll probably change mine later.

Anyways, I just played Pokemon Black. EV training's become a lot easier.

People are saying to change it now but how? when you can't even access the network.

Sony is such a terrible software company it's ****ing ridiculous. Say what you want about friend codes, or having to pay for xbox live, but at least microsoft or nintendo weren't able to get hacked by one ****ign dude in his basement.

I'm pretty sure that one "dude" had help from his friends to do it.

Yeah matious is on crack, the Playstation was the last system to get hacked. The other two got hacked a long time ago, they just didn't make as much a fuss about it as Sony did.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do not think the Xbox and Wii were hacked on the same scale as PSN.

Quote:

"It is also possible that your profile data, including purchase history and billing address (city, state, zip), and your PlayStation Network/Qriocity password security answers may have been obtained. If you have authorized a sub-account for your dependent, the same data with respect to your dependent may have been obtained," Sony announced.

Sony admits utter PSN failure: your personal data has been stolen

They really dun f*cked up.

Yeah they weren't but I'm pretty sure matious was talking about that Geo guy, who jailbroke the PS3 (which was done on the others a long time ago).

Glad I own a 360 instead that's all I'll say

I haven't paid much attention to the PSN thing because I don't go online anymore but I have paid for it before. My credit card info may have been obtained then?

I don't think I will ever get tired of this game

Just downloaded it for nostalgia purposes. Probably my favorite RPG. Amazing soundtrack.

I remember when the fifth came out, I didn't get my hopes up because I didn't really care so much for the fourth, but it turned out to be brilliant :)

The second is also good!

edit :

By the way, as you clearly like Heroes of Might and Magic .. Did you ever check out King's Bounty? It's an adventure/RPG game with Heroes of Might and Magic-y gameplay.

Actually, I am currently downloading King's Bounty and the complete M&M series (Although only VIII and IX are playable)

Nuhuh

I'm talking about the world wide web of playstation. People are supposedly getting their credit info stolen?

I don't think that has happened on a home console before?

Not through way of hacking the system's networking, I don't believe it has.

Started a career as a pitcher, and now I'm addicted. I've played everyday after work for the last 3 weeks.

will probably be flogging the PS2 dead horse this weekend again and getting Crash Team Racing and some Simpsons

If you were talking about that why'd you mention one guy in his basement? That made me think of that Geo guy. I'm pretty sure more than one person is behind this recent hacking.

I've been playing a lot of Mass Effect 2 thanks to Kirby, it's quite engrossing.

But the Gears of War 3 beta was able to tear me away from it. So far, it's a lot better than Gears 2.

I've been playing through all of the zelda games recently. I just finished up Majora's Mask, Minish Cap, and A Link to The Past.

I decided to play the Paper Mario games in reverse order, so I'm re-starting Super Paper Mario.

Yes, I actually own a Wii. Shut up.

there's actually not much PS2 games for me to buy that are any good, I am going to revist ALL the PS2 games I have and finish at least half of them

when I'm done I'm buying a 360
