PS3 Poker Night: In-game Gremlins
shipero \| 5:48 PM on 07.02.2008	17 comments

The time: 10pm EST.
The place: PSN Network.
The Hosts: James Ewing aka Ha-Puken and JohanHin aka Takeshi.
The Prize: Nobody bothered to tell me so I have no idea. Let's pretends it's a slightly used copy of Anne of Green Gables.

I was asked to put this up at the last minute so excuse its lack of shit talking and prize information.

Who cares about prizes though when the real highlight is the chance to go head to head with seasoned card sharks such as Ha-Puken, Takeshi, y0j1mb0, Qraze, Video_Cognito, Counting Conflict, Moosehole, and Gos-CPTStewart. If any of the regulars know when the prize is let me know and I'll update the post accordingly. Until then the prize shall continue to be the tale of a spunky Canadian orphan.

So come, join us. Unless your PS3 was bricked by the recent firmware update. In which case, it sucks to be you.

Now here's a video because it's kind of my "thing":

@Justice

My avatar and header come from a picture of me that yojimbo drew for the Metal Geal Saturday recap. My old avatar and header as well as the avatar that jimbo's using now were done by me.

What was the prize from last week, considering I won, or are we just forgetting last week happened?

Well, my PS3 has been rendered useless, compliments of the 2.40 FW update... sucks!

I'm just dicking with you, I don't need anything. I just like the bragging rights. Save that prize for another week.

@ James:

From what I've been hearing you can remove your HDD and re-insert it, then boot up and you will have to format your hard drive again. You'll lose your game saves and have to download everything over again, but your PS3 will work and you will still have 2.40. Sorr to hear that shit happened to you. Hope you can get it fixed, bro.

My PS3 is fine for now, knock on wood.

Santana, James' PS3 works again. He did exactly that but he's got 2.36 again.
