I can never treat Friday the 13th in the same light hearted way as before.
You might have noticed by reading the FNF post, Friday was a bad day for me. It was only just the 13th when it happened, as if it was waiting for it that sarcastic bastard. I was just playing a video game when I heard 3 short beeps. It was my black shiny beast. It was sending out Morse codes in a desperate manner trying to get rescued. It never got further than the "S". I couldn't just say "Oh well it's dead. Let's buy a new one.". No sir. That's why I made this short reconstruction of how it happened and how I tried to rescue it.

good luck and please be back to us ASAP.
our friends' list feels empty without the clank-avatared dutchman
Every console dies overheated and sad and that is beautiful.
So sorry for your loss (and a good reminder to do back ups which I will do tomorrow!). Any chance of getting it fixed? (in which case maybe your data will still be there), or are you looking at just waiting and picking up a Slim at some point?
Our PS3's are playing tag now in heaven. Which makes me sad and happy at the same time.
Thank you! And thank you for laughing :D
The sad (and stupid) thing is I've said so many times "I need to make a back-up soon" but I never did.
If I send it to Sony they will replace my console with another one. I'll still get a 60gig back but I won't save my data. I need to try and resurrect it so I can save some data and deactivate accounts.
I'm gonna buy a Slim pretty soon and try to revive my fat one. I don't care about B/W compatibility. I've got 3 PS2's so I'll be fine.
@CelicaCrazed
Thanks. Yeah those levels man. I was thinking about the other save files and I don't care about those. Then all of a sudden I remembered LBP. The day got a lot darker all of a sudden...
Here was my clue. According to the Online Stats Profile.
(( Takeshi only played 10Minutes of COD:MW2!!! ))
:(
Bin Laden did it. Next time you see him kick him in the nuts.
Just kidding, but after being mocked to death by PS3 fanboys a man need to enjoy his chance. Anyway, sorry for your loss, in fact, i don't know why are you so calm. When i lost my PS2 Memory card i seriously considered suicide.
Best of luck on LBP.
I just wish I had seen him before he went. I haven't played PS3 online since KZ2.
Sorry for the loss dude.
Also I just turned off Ratchet and Clank a minute ago and that crono sceptre had me in stitches.
I'm sure you'll find some fix to get it all back. The PS3 FNF's look a bit lonesome, I'm sure they aren't though, would be nice to get back in there, maybe this Friday. Most of the games I don't have :/ I need like a list of everyone's games so I know what to get :)
Wait...
What's worse is the replacement PS3 Sony sent me runs far worse than my original one, so I'm worried this might happen all over again. In fact my PS3 won;t even play Blu-Ray movies anymore. Might have to upgrade (or downgrade since I have an original 60gb) to a Slim, but at least it will be quiet and cool.
Can't wait til you're back online. Just don't use this as an excuse as to why you're getting destroyed in MW2 :)
Also, kudos for using the same song that was used in the MGS3 credit roll.
@Ha-Puken
I should've told it to quit smoking. That selfish, reluctant bastard refused.
All those pics you send me are lost too. Fuck, I forgot about them.
At least I still have the hard drive.
While it is something of an amazing honor to have been the only one privy to your unfinished levels, it's certainly not an honor that I want to carry. I really hope that there's a way to salvage them. It would be a shame otherwise. I could tell that you put a trillion hours of time into their construction and at least an equal amount of time of thought into them.
I really hope that it all works out, my friend. I know grieving is hard. If you ever need a shoulder to lean on, I offer up mine.
Sorry man.
That sucks too. A blu-ray drive isn't the worst thing that can happen though. If I'm correct they're fairly easy to fix/replace. But easy or not, it shouldn't happen in the first place. I'm sorry for your loss too.
@Haxan
Your shoulder. Now!
@Daxelman
WTF? That's more fucked up than anything! Although I kinda know how you feel, my PS2 got stolen by some crack junkie.
@Everybody else
Thank you for the kind words. I'm looking into getting my files back and/or reviving my precious. I'll let you know if and how I managed.
Of all things, fucking Tekken. He could have played UP for all I care, but Tekken?
I feel damaged. Not as damaged as you probably feel, but damaged.
Also, try backing up the HDD somewhere, somehow. I know from first hand, when they switch out your harddrives, not everything makes the jump.
Yes switching hard drives will not work. I will just say "Hey this isn't the PS3 it was in! Let's format this bitch!" So no. I will have to find another way. I will try to revive it first.
Dude I just fired up the old PS2 again immediately freaked the fuck out! It's sooooo noisy! I thought it was dying as well.
"Takeshi please help me defeat this boss in Borderlands. I'm getting raped over and over again!" Yeah good times indeed.
Thanks for the info on that. I will just have to forget about that then and move on.
I see you there with your TMBG reference.
