Minecraft Cr1tikal

If you haven't watched the youtube channel cr1tikal. He is a very funny gamer. He commentates lots of games with very funny things inside. One of the many games he commentated was minecraft. Careful, don't let any little children watch this some subject matter isn't appropriate for children. Without further a due, here is the link. http://www.youtube.com/user/penguinz0?blend=3&ob=5#p/u/0/n6YWbTSGFLQ After you watch this, you will understand the joke in the picture above.

Storm Over GTA

If you don't know, majority of our contributors are in the GTA area (not the grand theft auto area). Because of this, we recently experienced a very serve storm. In this storm, hail fell, thunder struck and trees toppled. Many of the contributors were lucky and avoided any trees falling on their properties. Unfortunately a tree did fall on mine. We will try to make a way so you can donate money for my cause and others. We will most likely donate all the money to the Red cross. I just don't feel like writing right now so I'll just end it here.

Epic Bob-omb & other stuffs

Okay, so I am a fan of LEGO and Star Wars, so I am going to post a review of LEGO Star Wars III, but that isn't the point here. I was browsing a site called MOCPages, a site for LEGO Fans. So the MOC of the day was... A Bob-omb made of LEGO. Link here if you want it:

Onto the main article. Recently, Nintendo had it's press conference at E3 2011, and two major games were officially announced: Mario Kart 3DS and Super Mario 3DS, and a 3DS update was released, adding an online store (that hopefully won't get hacked *cough* PSN *cough*), a browser and the ability to transfer data from a DSi or DSi XL. So for all you people out there that still have a DSi, you must download an app from the DSi shop to transfer system data. So far, two titles have been released that are free: Pokedex 3D, and Excitebikes (original). But you can only get Excitebikes free until July 7th (at least in North America), so get it quickly.

Canadian Video Game Awards

EDIT: This was supposed to go up a while ago, back when the CVAs were still relevant. I had the whole thing written up in OpenOffice, but for some reason, I never got around to publishing it till now. So yeah, it says they ended like 15 minutes ago, but no... quite a while ago. Just prepping you for that.

If you've been following the event (and if you haven't, shame on you!), then you'll know that the second annual "Canadian Video Game Awards" just ended roughly 15 minutes ago. It was only an hour long (not as long as I expected, honestly...), and all the games that won rewards truly deserved them.

Playstation notwok

I got my password reset e mail back and it said I didn't give enough information. What playstation, I fill in your guide lines and I still don't make the cut? What do I need to get an account e mail change or a password reset. I already stated why multiple times why I couldn't reset my password. The only thing I couldn't quite provide was the serial number. They said they need a PS3 serial number, I give them my PSP serial number. The response is that my information just wasn't enough to be able to change a simple e mail address or password. I hope you share my dislike of playstation so much I do. remember to vote on the poll and playstation store is back up. This makes me SOOOO ANGRY! But that's it for me, bye now

P.S. I sent another email to them.

Yes, I know they are very formal. They also seem very much a like. They don't seem to care about the things I typed on my e mails. If you didn't see them, check out my last post.

Hockey

If you don't know, all contributors most contributors at Null are in Canada and care deeply about hockey. That is why I want to draw your attention is the newest poll, Who will win the Stanley cup. Since we are Canadian, our first choice is the Canucks. Sadly, not all the contributors voted so this is a heads up to them and you to vote for your favourite team or vote because you just don't care.

Minecraft

I'm even more sad. Sorry for the Minecraft post again even though I said I wouldn't. I just updated my Minecraft to 1.6.5. Seriously, there is updated after update. On the day 1.6 was released, they updated it up to 1.6.4 and I had to get that since I wanted maps. Then a couple days later it changes to 1.6.5 and most mods don't work with it.

Minecraft

I'm sorry, I know, I'm supposed to be doing my usual Playstation rant but I want this time to tell about my minecraft problem. If you own minecraft you will know, they recently updated. Because of this update, my mods no longer work. I tried to get some mods for 1.6.4 and I did. The only problem is that the mods messed up my game. I can't access my worlds because of it. I think it is because I installed them improperly but whatever the reason, I am very sad because of it. I think I will return to my usual playstation rant tomorrow or the next day or today.

Playstation network

I finally got my e mail back from Playstation consumer support. I will get my account changed in 1 to 16 days. It is most likely to be 17 days. I don't think It will come in the days it says it will be here. As I said in one of my playstation network post, I've waited a long time. I actually got my e mail early, however it did take 3 days not 2 days. On days 2 and 3, I sent some e mails. I'll post them here for you to see. They make me feel bad for what I've done. I changed the email addresses with the word e mail. It might be confusing but it could entertain you.

It has been nearly 60 hours since I sent my first e mail. Why haven't you replied. I can sue you for false advertising. The reply was supposed to come in 24-48 hours. I am outraged at the fact that it has been almost three days and no answer has come. I simply wanted to change my father's account. I already informed you that his e mail is locked and I can't access it so I can't do the password reset. I wanted you, playstation support, to change the e mail address for the account to email. Please do so, or you might look forward to another lawsuit.

I must continue to ask for help that I probably never get. I must ask you to be fast with changing email's e mail to email. The free games you are giving out are of limited time. I hope you can hurry up and change the e mails. Once again the e mail I want to change is email to email and hurry about it since my first respond didn't come until three days had passed.

why has it taken you so long to respond to one e mail sent over about two days ago. Your services are getting slow. I simply want you to switch email to the following e mail email and please hurry. this is my fourth e mail and yet nothing has happened. Are you wanting me to have bad service from playstation? It seems like you do. How many e mails do I have to send to get your attention. I just want a small thing done so I can change my password. You, the playstation consumer support department is one of the worst there is. You are even worst than the security department which had been hacked. If you can't give me what I want in three days, it is very sad.

What do you think I am, a hacker. Seriously, the only things on that account are echochrome, castlevania dracula X ( I said so in my first e mail) and the littlebigplanet add-on of the sack time forgot. There is still about a $1 value inside that account but besides that, all of the products combined don't cost over $50. So, why aren't you responding. I gave you the time you claimed that you needed: 24-48 hours. After that, I continued to want and give you more time. Still the answer was same as before, no answer. What is the reason for not responding? Is it because I'm Canadian? Is playstation racist? I just want a simple task of having the e mail of email changed to email. Can't you handle that? Do you have the attention span to read all this? Are you just a big joke? This isn't consumer support, this is a machine that doesn't answer e mails. A monkey would have been better than you. Just do as I asked from my first three e mails.

Welcome!

Yes, finally our best and most honorable contributor has returned! (besides myself). Vaibhav, I think you will enjoy coming to this blog. You have been quiet for a long time. Please everyone, vote that I am the best contributor because Vaibhav isn't on the poll. He will be reviewing the free PC games if you didn't read his post. I only have one question for Vaibhav. Did you finally forgive Thor for misspelling your name?

Hi!

Hey guys, Vaibhav here, and, well, I'll be joining the blog. I don't have many nearby places where I can buy games, and buying games from sources such as steam takes waaaaay too long, so I'll mostly be reviewing all of those free PC games that people actually play :P.

Playstation network

I'm back and more depressed than ever. I know I had to update my PSP but then I needed to reset my password. I tried to reset it on my PC but it was under maintenance from sometime to about 7pm. After I waited for 8 pm I tried and they said they sent a password reset to my e-mail. If you don't know, my name isn't allen. So, I used someone else's e mail (my dad's expired e mail so don't try it). Since it was expired, I couldn't receive the e mail. I went back to playstation network website and went to contact support. I sent an e mail from my own e mail and now I have to wait 24- 48 hours for the e mail to come back. This happened yesterday so I will just have to wait 24 hours. This is going to be the longest day in my life.

Playstation Network

Okay, I know now that you're supposed to update your playstation system to get playstation network and store back since the store is supposed to be back today. The only problem is that I need to reset my password since it isn't valid. Whoever didn't reset their password too I feel sorry for. Everyone else, I hope you enjoy your free games! Who am I kidding, I want those free games! I want them badly! The message that popped up said that I need to reset my password through a PS3, which I don't have, or through a PC. I went onto the website and they said it was under maintenance. If it isn't, just comment on this post. I'll on as soon as possible and try to review the games I get.

Combine can now have super fun
