PS3 players reportedly unable to download key game patches ahead of store shutdowns…

….	Date: April 12, 2021 01) LINK “Following Sony’s announcement that it will be shutting down the PlayStation 3 storefront later this summer, fans are now reporting that they’re unable to download essential patches for certain PS3 games. Sony recently confirmed that it will be shutting down its PS3, PS Vita, and PSP stores later this year, making it impossible to purchase new digital games across those storefronts. Sony explains that users will still be able to re-download any digital purchases made through the store, but they will be unable to buy new games following the closures. … Sony has yet to comment on the issue, and it’s currently unclear if it’s a deliberate decision on its part. Players still have time to get games across the aforementioned platforms. The PS3 and PSP stores are set to close on July 2, 2021, while the PS Vita store is due to shut down on August 27, 2021.” I’m sure there are a lot of working PS3s out there…Mine works great, and I’ve no intentions of being done with it… There are also lots of used PS3 games out there in the market…It would be insane for Sony to render them un-patchable. Sony decided to partner with all these game developers employing this awful business model, of releasing games by a set date and patching [aka worrying about fixing them] later…so, they need to continue supporting the patches at the very least. I recently purchased a few PS3 games…and I expect them to be patched, when I get around to installing them.	….

….	Date: February 12, 2021 01) LINK “Gina Carano has been fired from Lucasfilm and the Mandalorian for a false narrative that Disney Star Wars just validated. Cancel Culture claims another prize and it is guaranteed to continue as long as cowardly corporation keep bending the knee to a vocal minority that has been given too much power for too long. It is time to take that power back. Cancel Disney plus was trending for a good part of last evening. Happy to do my part. I Stand with Gina Carano. Winners always land on their feet.”	….

Toby Maguire, Andrew Garfield & Tom Holland In a Spider-Verse?…

….	Date: January 21, 2021 01) Spider-Man 3 Mysterio RETURNING? Tobey Maguire & Spider-Man 4 update! “Spider-Man 3 updates! Tom Hollands Spider-Man 3 from Marvel Studios and Sony is shaping up to be huge. In this video I’ll talk about some Spider-Man 3 Tobey Maguire spider-man and Andrew Garfield spider-man updates, Spider-Man 4 updates and a Mysterio spider-man 3 leaked photo!” It seems Sony has plans of reviving both of it’s previous Spidermen, and having all three Spiderman versions in the upcoming movie. Very interesting… …and funny, because it was going through my mind in the not so distant past, that I wouldn’t mind if they revived and put out new installments of the previous two series.	….

Lord of the Rings is DOOMED – Amazon Series Going FULL Game of Thrones…

….	Date: January 20, 2021 01) LINK “It looks like Lord of the Rings on Prime is going Full Game of Thrones, just not in the way some will think. A plot synopsis was released late last week telling us what direction Amazon is taking this series, and that direction is Game of Thrones. Based on everything we have seen from Doctor Who to Star Wars, we can comfortably assume this show may be a disaster. If it is not that will be a pleasant surprise.” I’d be willing to give it a chance…if it ever comes out on DVD. I don’t consider another “Game of Thrones” syle show to be a bad thing…Even the last few seasons were not bad…They just abandoned the pacing of the previous seasons…leaving people feeling cheated.	….

Mod Nexus Page (Other mods and settings explained on this page) https://www.nexusmods.com/daggerfallunity/mods/5“ This looks so good! I really miss playing this game. It’s wrong that you can automatically fast travel, though…A major part of the game, was the exploration and advancement…You always had to travel manually on foot, horse, etc, to any destination before it became available in fast travel. You get to discover the world this way.	….

There Was a Lock for the NES – Gaming Historian…

One eclectic inventor thought he had the perfect solution: Homework First. It was a literal lock that blocked the cartridge slot of the Nintendo Entertainment System.

The Story of the ESRB – Gaming Historian…

….	Date: December 14, 2020 01) LINK “Gaming Historian provides a history of the ESRB’s creation. In the early 90’s, there was a growing concern from the public about violent entertainment. When the government began seeing footage of graphic video games, they stepped in with an ultimatum for the industry: Regulate yourselves, or we’ll do it for you.” Yes…They’ve been obsessed with pixels and ideas for a very long time. The old assertion…”It’s threatening children”…as usual. Sad fact…none of these outraged zealots even knew what they were talking about… …Their arguments have subsequently fallen apart, as more research has been done on the very question of psychological effects of video games on kids.	….
