In a unique an interesting experience, I came to Destructoid this morning hoping to find some good insightful articles and maybe have a laugh or two. Unfortunately, I stumbled upon a technology-inept person who felt like putting together the following list of steps for playing
Resident Evil 4 on the Playstation 3.
Fortunately, I've compiled a very easy, step-by-step walkthrough to help you.
1- Download
Resident Evil 4
2- Wonder why the fuck I signed a contract for such a slow ISP
3- Do the same amount of shit I would do if I was downloading something from Xbox Live
4a- Discover that I'm having connectivity issues and question whether or not my archaic router firmware is actually the cause of the problem (because it probably is).
4b- Just bitch and be ignorant.
5- Reconnect and start downloading again
6- Be told that there isn't enough free space on my PS3's HDD
7- Feel like an idiot for assuming hard drives are magical infinite buckets of space
8- Spend 3 minutes deleting
Heavenly Sword and
Enslaved data, because there's no foreseeable way in the future I'll revisit those games again.
9- Whine that 3 minutes of my life are gone. Then ignore that it was my fault those 3 minutes were wasted.
10- Waste 3 minutes of my life whining, but ignore that I just wasted those 3 minutes whining about the last 3 minutes.
11- Wait five minutes at most for something to install.
12- Speak in hyperbole about stuff.
13- Post some stupid article
like this in the cBlogs, just like
other writers do,
where it belongs so I don't waste space and bump down work from other writers who are actually trying to do their jobs.
Hay guize I can use intarnets too! :|
In all seriousness though, stuff like this is pretty much exactly what I meant during my
blog about improving things on Destructoid. I still don't think Niero needs to sink to flame-bait to generate hits for his site.

Everywhere I go I'm having internet problems. We have 6 people on our wireless which is making it unusable at times, at school the internet randomly doesn't want to work, and back home I've been struggling to get a good signal on our satellite internet. One of these days we will have that Long Term Evolution internet and all our first world problems will be gone.
I completely agree with this campaign lol. There's far too much negativity in gaming. It's like the trendy cheap draw fad, anyone can sit and bitch about everything it's easy, and ya it generates attention, but if I learned anything from Macgruber, it's no different, or dignified than shoving a celery stick up your ass and walking around around like a douche bag. Counter productive lol. But counter, counter productive: I'm in!
This is the only part I agree with. This ain't frontpage material.
Also, Installs suck and he's right about the bullshit I have to put up with to play a game. Since Jim doesn't read the Cblogs (or post in them obviously) we get this.
Also also, still sad that Nick Chester left. He classed up the joint.
I agree with this blog. I've never had the problems Jim described whenever I downloaded a game from my PSN. My connection never faltered and if it did I knew it was my connection itself and not my PS3 (unless the thing froze, which happens rarely and is never really a big issue). Downloading for me was always done in the background and while I waited I decided to be productive or play a game or demo until the download finished. Installs were pretty quick, too. But well, Jim likes to complain. It gets him hits, so I doubt he really cares about our views on some of is articles.
Still though, I wish he'd cut down on the crap once and awhile since I do think he's a good writer overall (Oil on Water, his article on pirating, etc).
Meh. Video games.
