Thanks for the heads up
patlike said:
Just doing our jobs, ma’am.
No_PUDding said:
Do I look like a ma’am. Or more to the point type like a ma’am?
Maybe…
Psychotext said:
Do ma’ams type differently?
No_PUDding said:
Yep… They type like me. According to patlike.
Psychotext said:
You do know that’s a quote from a film right?
Anyway, with your new information in hand I’m heading off to trawl some forums. \o/
No_PUDding said:
Yep, ignorance is not my forte
With my new information? What’s that? It sounds really interesting.
Psychotext said:
You’ve taught me how to find womens on the interwebs. I just look for people that type like you.
I’ll be a sex god!
No_PUDding said:
Hahah
What more can I say?
Psychotext said:
I see the site has keeled over and died already.
redlander said:
hehe its melted
patlike said:
Whoops.
Syrok said:
The whole network is dying.
Psychotext said:
I have a beautiful image in my head of thousands of angry beta hunters hunched over their keyboard mashing F5.
redlander said:
mashes F5
patlike said:
I doubt that’s far from the truth. Million of panicking people thirsty for BETA.
Psychotext said:
I think it’s about time EG did some work on their servers really. They seem incapable of handling any major event these days.
patlike said:
Apparently traffic’s off the chart.
Psychotext said:
Yup. Slashdot effect… only without the slashdot obviously.
Newbie101 said:
Wow, didnt realise a PS3 beta would be so high, traffic wise!
Psychotext said:
If I were them right now I’d take everything but the beta pages temporarily offline. Deal with the traffic spike and then put the site back together.
Syrok said:
Heh, I managed to get on the site, but all I got was a blank page.^^
What’s so special about Socom anyway?
PS: Still over 5000 keys left
Psychotext said:
Nothing in particular. Beta hunters are just insane.
Now imagine if it was Little Big Planet.
trav said:
Well got my code. \o/
*mashes F5 for the hell of it now*
patlike said:
Tom just told me they’re delivering about 10 per second.
Psychotext said:
Still 4800 keys left. Would appear that people just can’t get onto the site to get one. lol
Eurogamers shows 4500 people active. Which is a lot less than I thought the site could handle.
redlander said:
got one, now all I have to do is wait 3 days for it to down load the 1500mb file…
Xephon1970 said:
I got mine too…eventually. Just for the hell of it really.
You’d think EG would have been a bit more prepared for this. God help them if they get the LBP beta keys…
Newbie101 said:
Got one too! Firefox wasnt having any of it, back to ie and bang, first time! (nearly)
Psychotext said:
Apparently about 3000 left now
Syrok said:
I’m not living in the UK and don’t give a sh*t about the game anyway so I got one left. Who wants it?
Newbie101 said:
enough people to crash a mainstream gaming website?
…but fair enough
.
Psychotext said:
Do that later when all the windowlickers have dissapeared and the actual fans that got jipped remain.
Psychotext said:
Newbie, EG got taken down by the GC liveblog recently… and just about every other moderately exciting thing prior to that. There’s a reason we say it’s powered by hamsters.
Newbie101 said:
PT, before you get your knickers in a twist, I’d say the same if it was a Fable 2 beta as the same would obviously happen,
.
Psychotext said:
Getting my knickers in a twist? What are you going on about? I thought we were talking about EG being powered by hamsters.
Newbie101 said:
Ok
.
patlike said:
I’m going to use Cover It Live for the next live blog stuff. The site itself couldn’t handle all the F5ing at GC.
