Be Excellent To Each Other

What a loser.

Stupid Sony, you don't get these problems with Xbox!

I've just grabbed a three month membership as I quite fancy some of the free games this month. I went through adding them to download and it seems, rather fucking stupidly, that it just tries to download all of them at the same time. So instead of getting Valiant Hearts downloaded and playable before it starts on the rest I've just got four games crawling down at the same time. That's a bit stupid.

You can go into downloads and pause the others - however you can also add them to your list and manage it all from the website while your at work then come home to find you actually shut down the machine last night instead of putting it into standby so it has to download it all anyway :-)

FYI I've found it slightly quicker to download '4 things at once' than 4 things one after the other (in total time)

I did check the options on each of the downloads and all I can do is either cancel them our check the status (i.e. how much has downloaded and how much is left); there doesn't seem to be any way to pause the downloads on the PS4. And I would've queued everything up from the website but I only finally decided to spring for PS+ when I got home tonight. The console was properly off anyway as I don't leave it on standby as there's no real point when you don't have a PS+ membership.

You know you can't play the games once your three months are up, right?

On the PS4 go to Notifications / downloads has a list of all the downloads - move the cursor to one of them and click 'x' to pause it

On my actual PS4.

I've no idea why you would think I would think otherwise but yes, I realise that.

Try with a capital 'B'

No dice.

I beat you on the first level.

Now I'm going to turn it off and never go back to it again because just once I was at the top of a friends leader board like in the olden days before I became Ann Oldman.

Just had a quick go now I've finished the game on Amateur. Reckon I can top a million with a more judicious choice of tricks and reverts.

I played the first few levels and then uninstalled it, it's just not my kind of thing at all. I'm amused to see myself on your scoreboard there though, that's the first and probably last time that'll happen. :-)

Yeah, tried it, didn't much like it.

Yeah, best to stick to easy games like The Last of Us.

There are two 'SilentElk's! wtf?

Are you sure you haven't been scammed and you've given all your personal info to the PirateStation Network?

One of them is xSilentElk, but because I searched for 'SilentElk', it highlighted that and greyed out the 'x'.

I have sent a friend request to 'SilentElk'.

I haven't got it.

You never had it. Boy, you weren't even close.

I'm in! Now friends with SilentElk and have access to his friends list, so will be sending out invites when I can!

I am also your fwend!

The real question (for Myp) is what has Bobby actually chosen as his PSN sign in name ?

I sent him a friend requezt

Bobbyaro.

Yup, weird, huh?

I had this once before years ago, a mate of mine told me his PSN username to send him a friend request but searching for it never turned anything up. I checked with him the spelling and all that a couple of times but still couldn't find him.

Cool story, bro.

Playstation Now beta sign up for the UK is open

Man, there are some fucking weird questions in that sign up page.

Glad it wasn't just me!

I AM FEARLESS. I shall play Peggle.

Yeah I'm not sure what, if any, useful market research they can get from a load of random answers to a load of random questions.

Question 1? I didn't know my username was case sensitive?! I hope I guessed right. It was 50/50.

Ian is first! Screw you Zaphod.

April's games:
PS4 - Tower of Guns (Yay!)
PS4 - Never Alone (Rubbish)
PS3 - Dishonoured (Brilliant game!)
PS3/4 - Aaru’s Awakening (Icelandic students made it. If that doesn't make it the best game ever made I don't know what will. Looks pretty interesting)
PS Vita - Killzone Mercenaries (Pretty decent multiplayer. Probably trash campaign)
PS Vita - Monsterbag (Never heard of it. Looks fun enough)

I had it bookmarked to come back to but got busy :-(



I really enjoyed the campaign for this one - and its a real proper FPS on the vita - it feels like a COD game (in a good way)

Tower of Guns looks pish but Never Alone is on my want list and Aaru’s Awakening looks interesting (albeit brutally difficult) so that's all good.

Tower of Guns is awesome you fool!

Never Alone is excellent.

When do the games actually refresh? As of this morning I'm still only seeing last month's.

I was just going to ask the same thing, I want Killzone - I was just considering buyying it actually, so this is pretty good timing.

It seems like they do it the first tuesday of each month. At least they are in April and did in March. Can't be arsed looking back any further. Though I'd prefer they did it when the month began, like any sensible person.

I could have swore it was the first Wednesday of each month, but I'll be damned if I'm checking either.

Ok, fine. I've done my research for you lazy sods and I can confirm that the PS+ games will be available from ...

... 8 April 2015. Which, I can reveal, is a Wednesday.

Tsk - you should have done it right instead of rushing to try and be first

That's a really random date for the switchover. Fannies.

ah, I was looking at the US blog because my work has a yankee IP or summat.

The words 'entering' and 'leaving' in these terms is really annoying. Frankly, they should have gone with, 'onboarded' and 'offboarded' like my HR department.

The word offboarded is used frequently by people in my current job and even a year and half in I'm still struggling to suppress the urge to punch someone in the throat every time they say it.

I'm not being offered Never Alone, is everyone else seeing it?
