Anonymous sends video message to Sony, targets staff

Transference, much?

Yep, we’re transferred to a new page after 50 comments.

Seeing this makes me relize that so far i been treated nicely on this site, o_O thanks guys and i know sometimes my ideas are kind of unpopular, so really thanks

Sounds like maybe a few anon members might be on that paypal/site visit IP address list. Sounds like Sony should volunteer some information…

This isn’t as wide spread as it might seem ManuOtaku. Most of the time this is a great site with a great community. But for whatever reason there is a small group of posters that seem to have it out for Michael.

For a while Michael was ignoring them. But a man has limits, I prolly would have cracked long ago if I wear him. So now we get this kind of crap. And it seems to never stop. Personal attacks. People making duel accounts for the sole purpose personal attacks.

The lot of them sound like a bickering bunch of school age kids at a play ground. But when a sane man begins to argue with a crazy man, people watching will soon lose sight of which one is which.

Its frustrating to myself and a couple of other mods, because we really can’t do anything about it. And it often goes too far. Its a distraction on the site that we all otherwise enjoy.

I want everyone to enjoy their time here, w/o having to put up with personal attacks made against them.

@53 be quiet you utter cunt

“I want everyone to enjoy their time here, w/o having to put up with personal attacks made against them.”

How about without having to put up with having their personal information dished out by “mods” like you? Sort it out – it’s fucking illegal.

And let’s face it. O’Connor can’t argue without bringing out the personal insults or calling someone stupid. He’s a total arsehole. I don’t troll him and this isn’t a sockpuppet account. This is me, arguing with an arsehole. I don’t follow him around and call him names. I’m calling him out on being an arsehole in this comments thread and the forum today. Is that not within my rights? Or should we just let arseholes be arseholes?

Maybe so many people “pick on him” for a reason?

I have NEVER posted anyones IP addy. Never. And I never would.

But I am not going to get dragged into your web of garbage. You can derail this thread, i can’t stop you, but I am not going to be a part of that. I was just trying to explain that things aren’t like this normaly to Manu.

I am done talking to you about this.

I’m talking about the mods generally. Sort it out. It’s in that “O’Connor is a nice guy” thread. Remove the offending stuff. People shouldn’t be getting bullied into being careful about what they say lest they have their personal information posted by a fucking moderator.

And that’s ignoring the legal implications.

O.G., I haven’t “snapped”. Hahaha. I’m finding this whole thing goddamn hilarious. Just… the fact that these people seem so committed and would invest so much energy into disliking a random person on the internet. It’s laughable.

I know exactly *what* causes it with most, mind you. People don’t like blunt honesty. Us Irish don’t have much qualms about that one. The kind of things the average Irish person would say to each other are the sorts of things that would have people in certain other countries *cough*USA*cough* up in the right old tissy about.

And probably suing others for. =P

Fuck political correctness. The best quality anyone can have is honesty.

he did have a good point about buying a computer and downloading and deleting programs and stuff

There’s a difference between honesty and just being an outright twat. Often, you really are just an outright twat. Seriously. I’m not trolling or trying to wind you up – you’re a fucking horrible person. Often.

“If video games are such a huge part of your life that a day of not being able to play a game online actually affects you in some sort of negative fashion… you seriously need to get off the computer.”

This ^^

This is an example of you just being a twat. You’re on a video games website. Of course people care about this sort of thing. The worst part is the guy responds a few posts later and has to clarify he was being sarcastic, because you made him feel like a twat for caring about computer games. That is the work of a total twat.

And unfortunately it’s typical of your behaviour on this site. And I’m not the only one who notices it, it seems.

Also…

If you care so fucking much, get a lawyer. Nobody gives a fuck except you.

Even Le doesn’t care.

My problem is with the journalistic integrity of this site… I think more often then not they invent drama in the article in order to encourage arguements. Got to keep those comment logs long! For example… on the other Sony article involving, “sporadic maintence”. I believe that quote was created by the author. I never found any other article or a release from Sony using that term. Yet, the term was clearly used in order to spark debate and fanboy syndrome. They made it seem like Sony was lying and making excuses in order to fuel the rage. And many reponses took advantage of it. This site does crap like that at all the time… and when they see a clever “hate” comment, they are not unknown for editing the article and its title to reflect that comment. It is obnoxious and getting old. I really just want a site to get honest, unbiased game news.

“lolinternetprivacy”

You really don’t understand the implications of distributing data deliberately without permission.

DJ I think you prolly just described most of the game sites out there. But spot on observation.

And maybe we, as visitors, want that in our website. At least to some degree. We all have a passion for games, and I don’t know about you guys, but my wife tunes me out when I get to rolling about gaming. She is a trooper, and hangs in there for a bit, but after awhile …. ZZZZ

So I come here. Listen to me or not, it gives me a place to blow off steam and rant about MS or Sony or whatever. So maybe we are guilty by posting so much and fueling those sly worded headlines?

@60 Don’t speak ignorantly about the USA mate. The country is a little to big to point fingers at its people as a “like mind”.

@ O.G. thank you, I can agree with that. But, this one seems to do it to an unprecedented, obnoxious degree. Everytime I turn my head an article has changed. It is getting old fast and I think I will go on the prowl for a new site soon. The only real draw this site had was the 24/7 part.

@67 It’s a perfect example of his “honesty”. Read: bigoted bully. I honestly can’t believe the mods stick up for him, but I guess they’re all chums or something. He claims to have real life friends involved with the site, so that’s probably why he’s coming away as the victim here, despite being a fucking horrible bully pretty much all of the time.

I’m well aware that I’m often a horrible person Terry.

This is not some giant revelation that I am in denial of.

I. Don’t. Care. I’m a dick to people who, as far as I’m concerned, I think don’t deserve any better.

I never said I had real life friends involved with the site. I said I am friends with some of the members here outside of the community.

Don’t like it? Tell someone who gives a fuck.

Publicising IP addresses is a pretty obvious internet no-no. And if you don’t appreciate the implications of it then you have no right to be in a position to snoop on other’s private details, even less if you lack the maturity and go off and publicise them for others to see. It’s astonishingly irresponsible and regarded the internet-wide as an abuse of information.

No matter who or what reason, you just don’t do it. And if you do you’re simply not trustworthy or responsible.

@71 Then go whine to Mike about it. He’s the one who posted it.

He’ll probably just tell Terry to fuck off.

“I’m well aware that I’m often a horrible person Terry.

See, I’m happy for this to be the case. You’re a twat. You don’t care. But why are the mods sticking up for him and dishing out IP addresses at his whimsy? Seriously – Pat could land himself in hot water over this.

Also Michael, if you try being nice once in a while, you might get yourself some of that sexual intercourse you’ve been craving for 29 years.

Not that I give a rats ass about this debate… but Michael, weren’t you bragging that you were friends with Steph outside the confines of this website? Which she is my least favorite author, but that is off topic. Also, off topic, but is she hot?

God, you’re an idiot.

I didn’t ask them to give me any IP addresses, you dumb fuck. I asked them to *check* them to see if they matched anyone. You are seriously fucking braindead?

Mike posted that information of his own accord. I was as surprised as anyone else when he posted it. Though I probably would have done the same in his shoes, just to teach that person a lesson.

@Deathjynx, I am not dragging other people into this.

And that question about Steph is just fucking disrespectful.

Jesus just shut the fuck up you lot.

+1

You two have gassed enough. Get over it.

ehhhhhhhhhhh i dont get this what happens if sony does what they want what happens???????????????????????

Well if whatshisname and Michael are done. Maybe, me and LOLshock can start? See how long we can get this comments section going. Seeing as that is what the site wants and im not to fond of LOLshocks brand of condencending sarcasm.

#79, well i prefer sony internalize this, as a series of events that started with the Other S application issue, and this was used as excuse to do the things Geo did, that in the end lead to anonymous thing, in order to come up with a better console development cycle for the PS4, therefore they think hard and good what should be in and out of the console, and lastly that when they do encounter a mistake, made by sonys actions like this case, well at least pretend been concerned and try to compensated the affected users, like giving free movies,free games and free plus subscription or whatever, just do something in order to solve the problem, do not look the other way around.

@81 your thoughts are wasted on shock. He was not serious.

#82, oh man, well at least i put my concerns… again… on this site
P.D But hey at least we keep this treat AAALIIIVEEEEEE………………….

Can we stop with the handbags…?

Just get a room you two and sort it out.

this proves how gay anonymous is, trying to shut down psn, wtf. its sad. geo hot is gay. breaking the law isnt right at all

WTF i was being serious you douche

and thanks Manuotaku but can they affect servers on games and make the new killzone map pack free?

I think that if people want to otherOS back then they should be given the ability to downgrade their OS to an earlier release but also lose all of the extra stuff Sony has put into the firmware for the system, there were a lot of things that weren’t available and not included with the original release. Like the the use of Netflix, VidZone, VUDU, Catch Up TV, Mubi, Life with PlayStation, PlayStation Home, Stereoscopic 3D, BRAVIA Sync XMB control, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio bitstreaming, updated internet browser with Facebook/Youtube apps and not to forget swapping HDD’s without having to go onto the official Sony site with a PC and downloading it to a thumbdrive/memory card. If the logic is that if Sony takes away a feature that they owe everyone money than shouldn’t we have to pay Sony for letting use all of the new stuff? I am a gamer and I don’t really care about an other OS feature and I went with the PS3 because of the reliability of the system, ability to swap hdd’s, internet browser, free PSN, Wifi, ability to use any bluetooth/keyboard/mouse and a whole lot of other things that don’t pertain to the core gaming experience. Try getting that from Microsoft. When it comes down to it you can never make everyone happy, you spend the money on the system that is advertised to have another OS feature then you should be able to use it regardless if it is pointless (my guess is that 99% of the people who whine about the loss of the feature have a PC/Mac that is a far better computer anyways). But when people start to exploit that then there is an issue. Sony isn’t just protecting themselves with the lawsuits they are protecting the publishers from piracy. If nobody did anything to stop piracy then it would be so rampant that studios would go under or they would just raise the price of the games. Tell me then who would suffer in that scenario? The people who just want to play/make video games and enjoy themselves would not the small percent of the users that want to steal their content. If I were running Linux on any one of my PS3′s I would be pissed at FailOverflow and Geohot for ruining it for everyone, they pissed off the giant and now everyone has to sit in timeout. Thanks a lot hackers. Cant a gamer just buy a system and enjoy it?

hope they find them and get them and put them into prison with 2 meter big folks which havent seen women for 10 years. really pissed off about anonymous.

O’Connor is still a twat.
