About Me
Well, to start off with, I go by Munkee, friends gave me this nickname because of my love of climbing random things, from trees to a jungle gym, it hasnt mattered what it is. I also live in your closet, dont be scared, I' am not some creepy monster like the Boogeyman, haha, but I do own a house in Utah and California as well.
Second off, I love gaming (as you can see I have all 3 consoles), along with hanging out with friends, watching (and playing) sports, photography, writing, traveling, music, and going to haunted places.
I can usually be found out late at night doing something insanely fun, yet stupid. Overall I try to have fun with anything I do.
Please note as well, I am sarcastic as no other. That being said, This is the end of my writings, if you want to know more, add me on any of my systems or write me on here :) Im up for playing with anyone (Not like that you perverts!)
Talk to you all soon!

Why I quit PSN Plus..... Plus LA Noire!
munkeex | 7:20 PM on 05.16.2011 5 comments


Good Morning All!
Well the good news today is PSN is back and in action!
I have signed on and updated my console. Phew... Sony has to be breathing a sigh of relief over this one.
But on the downside, I have cancelled my PSN plus account.
I am not sure how many people took the same actions I did, but I realize I do not want my information stored on a server.
Now I know that this may sound silly, but this whole fiasco has brought to light that I would just rather use a "Game Time Card" or "Point Card" instead of putting my financial information out there.
The other reason is, well, Next time PSN goes down, I will not complain about it. I get what I pay for right? I figure PSN is a great service, and I think highly of Sony keeping online gaming free (the way it should be!), but the value of PSN dropped for me.
The inability to play the games during the outage, followed by the realization that "Hey, I just really do not play these semi "free" games as it is." So I have opted out.
Anyone else done this?
On another note, LA Noire is out tomorrow, and I am stoked for it. I have preordered it, and after all, with the restoral of PSN, what better way to celebrate than to play a single player game?

I was already using PSN Cards so I wasn't worried, just inconvenienced. I was actually mostly playing the games I had got from PS+ during the downtime.

I don't care personally.

My card / bank account / money only exists for me to use to pay for stuff and to do so conveniently. I refuse to live my life in fear that someone might steal my precious money / details, and I refuse to give up the convenience that using a card entails, just because there is a 1 in 77m chance that someone could perhaps get hold of my details.

Everytime you use an ATM machine there is a chance it's been hacked to clone your card (has happened twice to family members) everytime you use your card online there is a chance the details go go astray (I used to write cc details onto paper orders with thick black pen at a fairly large online retailer).

The other thing (I don't know how it works in the USA) but UK banks cover you for that shit. If you notice something you didn't authorise coming out of your account, they lend you interest free money to cover the loss right away and then reclaim it from their insurance or whatnot. Either way, it all comes back.

We could embrace and accept this modern age of convenient payments, stored details and possible data theft, or we could all hide behind the fear that someone might get our monies and have to go to a store, to pick up a card to type in the code, to buy what is, essentially an instant purchase and download product.

I think that using pre-paid cards destroys the whole convenience and the whole buying ethos of an online service like the PSN.

If you are so scared that you will turn a one click purchase into a trip out to buy a card and all the extra bullshit that that entails, well, if that's the case, I truely feel sorry for you.
