  1. If you have an older "fat" PS3 you most likely are hosed from playing games online and even some offline. The infomation below was pulled from Gamespot.com. I so wanted to kill people tonight! Y2K 10 years and 2 months late.

    Here's what's going on right now: something with the PS3's internal clock has borked in some pre-slim models. This is not a PSN issue; it has to do with your PS3's clock. This clock is NOT related to the OS clock. It seems to be a leap year bug. Setting your clock ahead will do nothing. All PS3s around the world were affected at the exact same time.

    Does this affect me?

    -If you have a Slim PS3, you're good to go. Continue playing it as normal.

    -If you have a "fat" PS3, you may be affected. Some fat PS3s have worked ok, but it seems a good majority have been bugged.

    What does this bug mean?

    -If affected, your date and time has been set to a random past date. This prevents you from signing into PSN, playing any PSN games, or using any DLC. Your trophies will also not display correctly or be able to sync.

    How do I fix it?

    -You can't. Even if you don't sign into PSN, it won't help. This is a hardware issue.

    So, what do I do?

    -Wait 24 hours. Other products that have had similar bugs have corrected themselves after the "bugged" day. On Monday around 6pm central time, all PS3s will automatically correct themselves...maybe.

    -If that doesn't work, we'll need a firmware update from Sony, which should be a pretty important priority for them right now.

    Did I lose my data/themes/etc?

    Your save data/games/dlc/themes are fine. They'll be fixed when the PS3 is fixed. Trophies are uncertain right now, but they'll be fine if you've synced them before the PS3 was bugged. Unsynced trophies are an unknown right now.

    So there ya go, my handy FAQ.

  2. I was at the Blue Jackets game last night and between periods I was watching one of the TV's and the were showing the snow forecast. A couple happen to walk by and the wife gasp'd when she saw they were calling for 8 inches of snow in Columbus. I looked at them and said "it's the end of the world run, run fast", which got a rather nasty look from both of them and a good laugh from me. It's fucking snow people, not a plague of locusts.

  3. I agree. The only part of Canada I've ever seen is Windsor. I've always wanted to go to Quebec, hoping maybe that can get thrown in. I've heard Quebec is the closest you can get to Europe without actually going there.

    I know most people hate the French, but that is my ancestry, probably why I like New Orleans so much too.

    Quebec is a pretty cool place with lots of great scenary. I spent a week snowmobiling there about 5 years ago. If you are around people with more of the English background / ancestry your ok. If you are in more of the French Canadian areas you're hit and miss to get any help or interaction. They love your money but can't stand to deal with you.
