About Me




Me and my Love (besides gaming.. of course <3)

If you have time please check out my fan club.
Vice President of the DepheCt fan club is Heretic
Message him with any questions you may have.


I am twenty six years old, and I'm OBSESSED with soda (Coke), Poptarts (Strawberry), and video games. I live a pretty boring life at the moment, take up most of my time playing games and waiting for the new edition to the family... My wife and I are expecting our first child in July, and I couldn't be happier. I am really into all forms of music, but mainly black metal, death metal, and some grindcore.
Born and raised in California, I also like some old west coast punk rock.
In this blog I plan to cover all kinds of things, movie reviews, game reviews... as well as venting, ranting and my thoughts on everything.
If you don't like what I have to say, move on.
From time to time, when I have the goods(heh), I plan on giving away some free stuff, could be anything from a used console to a dvd.
All in all, I just love DTOID and all it has to offer.

UPDATE: How to get your Konami ID.
dephect | 6:22 PM on 04.19.2008 26 comments



Genki-JAM brought this to my attention, so thank him not me. I just thought I would share it with everyone, it worked for me the very first try. I am now ready for monday.

Guide: How to get a Konami ID within 20 mins

Postby ACE on Today, 16:41

I tried all day and got soooo **bleep** off with errors and timeouts, but I used my noggin and have created a way to get in within a few minutes (if you're lucky) and a maximum of 20 mins (if you're unlucky)

* You need Firefox
* Goto Tools Add ons, Get Extensions
* Find the AutoFormer add on and install it and restart the browser
* goto https://id.konami.net and click register (Blue button on the left) - might take a while but keep trying
* Enter your date of birth and go to edit in Firefox menu and find AutoFormer, click Save all fields - this will now save you entering the DOB again if you need to come back to this stage
* click next
* Wait until the terms show before clicking next again
* fill out the entire form carefully, don't rush you have all the time in the world. Make sure you don't use capitals in username, and make sure game id password is all numbers. Make sure phone number and postcode have no spaces
* now before clicking next click edit again and AutoFormer>save all fields
* Click next, it'll probably fail due to time taken to complete the form. Don't worry
* Start again, this time your DOB should be auto inserted click next to terms, click next to form, click next to confirmation click next and you're done - SIMPLE!!!


If you get kicked out at any point, start again. The point is you don't have to keep re-inserting data and this gives you a MUCH higher chance of getting through before timeouts.

Hope it works for you :dance:

Edit - WHEN you get in, remember to click the link in the confirmation email within 72 hours to view & agree to the T's & C's.

Sorry for this doublepost, but I just want to mention that even after you get the email, the link in the email takes you to an agreement page on the konami id site, so it may not work on the first try (took me 4 tries). Don't worry though, just click the link again on the email and keep trying to agree until it goes through. Be vigilant!

Getting it to work again but is the Konami id or game id the name that will show up in online matches?

Game ID shows up in online matches. I suggest you do what I did and check the Availability of the names. At one point, I got an awesome connection and was able to do it a few times before I finally found something that worked. Damn Japanese took all the normal "Genki" names. EVEN THE -JAM ONES, APPARENTLY--WTF!?!!

Yeah, Genki Sudo is a famous MMA fighter haha, that could be why. Or maybe I am close minded and refuse to believe Genki is a normal name. (heh).

If you guys try to logon to the games servers, can you? It just tells me that I'm unable to connect.

Yeah, I did this myself, yesterday and I got it to work. Stupid speed... I still say the site's broken.

Now, it took me an eternity to get my ID, even with this process, but there is something quite wonderful that was taking place when it finally worked.

I had final fantasy victory music playing in the background... perhaps there is something there?

I got mine from gamestop and got a 12 digit luckily. And I just went to register a konami/game id before reading this, and the website didn't slow down once or give me an error message, so I'm just waiting for a confirmation e-mail. I guess I lucked out.

But this update for the game to get to 1.01 I think, is taking FOREVER! Ive had it on for about an hour and a half and its only at 49 percent, p2p.

yeah, I downloaded the update on day one and had it downloaded by the time I got back from my night class (3 hours).

Lol, the update took around 10 hours for me at 15kb/s.

All worth by tommorow.

<3 Metal Gear.

Man the update yeah.... it took me forever, maybe 5 hrs. I just left it on and went to sleep haha. As for the trying to connect to the metal gear online servers with your name, it wont connect, seeing as the servers don't go up until the 21st (Monday). I tried it myself, just for the hell of it and it gave me some server error and a number. But at least we are all ready for monday now.

Just got my Konami ID and Game ID. Seems like the website is working fully now. Never got that BS timeout message and already got the confirmation email. Either its just the time of day or they finally beefed up their web server.

Finally working now.

Even though my ID is super long. Good thing it's not going to be what players see in the game.

That AutoFormer was a big help - I've been trying for a few days to get the ID.
Hopefully the servers will go up by the time I get out of bed.
