New 80GB PS3 & Resistance 2
So Saturday I bought Resistance 2, but didn’t really get to play it, my PS3 started freezing more often than usual, and it started not reading discs, at this stage I was pretty pissed off, as I thought my warranty had expired. I tried every single game, sometimes it would look like it was going to load it, but then I got the dreaded “error of death” code (ends in 800010514), which appears to be the blu-ray. Luckily, Sunday morning I found my receipt, and I had 2 days left. Took the 40GB into Game, they tested it, and then game me a new 80GB version, man was I happy, because the PS3 appeared to work in the shop when they tested it, but the guy was nice enough to give me a new one.
Finally we have got Resistance 2, god knows why they can’t release a game for everyone around the same time as the US, we have had to wait for like a whole month, and it’s the same for Socom, which still hasn’t been released as far as I know.
Resistance 2 is very good, I haven’t had much time to play it yet, when I did, it was freezing, but I got to spent an hour or so last night playing the competitive mode, which might I add is difficult for beginners. As of yet I haven’t had one easy game, I’m coming across high ranked people (you can check their profile in the lobby). Anyway, I’m going to be focusing on the co-op side of things once I get a feel for the game, I played 1 co-op game Saturday (when it worked), and it was very good.
Definitely a game I would recommend.
Call of Duty:World At War Zombie Mode
I was browsing some of the videos on YouTube last night, watching some of the multiplayer gameplay, I came across a video showing a Zombie mode, at first I wasn’t sure if this was real, but it actually appears to be official from sources.

Our Zombie game mode is not part of the main story campaign – it is an entirely separate bonus mode for the next-gen versions, which will be available after our credits roll. You can play the mode solo, but I highly recommend playing it with 3 of your friends via Co-Op.
The mode has a fun economy system which allows you to accumulate points, which can be spent on purchasing weapon upgrades, ammunition, and opening new sections of the level to expand your fight as each wave of Zombies grow in difficulty.
I for one will be getting it, not sure if it will keep be hooked as much as Call of Duty 4:Modern Warfare.
Anyone else getting it, or has played the beta version on the Xbox?
There is a PC beta available, which I downloaded and tried, but my Laptop isn’t suitable for playing games on it, so I couldn’t really move while in game.
G101
A popular ProBoards forum is making a return, I wish the team the best of luck and hope they can get a community going again.
For those that don’t know about G101, they are basically one of the top programming and design forums on the ProBoards network along with Studio Zero, SolidSnake Designs, and ProVision. I’ve never been an active member, but saw an email sent out from the team, and Call of Duty was mentioned in it, which caught my interest, as some of you know I am addicted to that game.
Xbox Is Now A Printer?
Just saw an email from eBuyer in my inbox advertise some good deals, one of them was for the Xbox 360 Elite, which apparently can print 16 pages per minute, and has a print resolution of 2400 x 600 dpi.
Check out the image below…

Just incase it has been changed, here is the original…
Have used eBuyer in the past, they have some great deals, where I got my TV from, I highly recommend them.

New YouTube Videos + RAM
Lately I have been using my Dazzle, but not recording me, recording people I play with. Only problem is, 2 of the 9 videos were the only decent ones that weren’t out of sync. For some reason the audio and video wasn’t in sync, and also in places it were skip and go fast or slow. Rather random really, and I think the cause of it is my Laptop.
So I decided to buy 4GB from Crucial, and hoping it will come tomorrow, and also hoping it fixes the issue, right now I am running 1GB on Windows Vista (which sucks might I add).
So there are 2 new YouTube videos I have uploaded, check them out…

Here is one of them, though goto my page to view it in higher quality.
Cross-Site Request Forgeries: Exploitation and Prevention
Came across this report today about Cross-Site Request Forgeries, I highly suggest you have a read of it.
CSRF vulnerabilities occur when a website allows an authenticated user to perform a sensitive action but does not verify that the user herself is invoking that action. The key to understanding CSRF attacks is to recognize that websites typically don’t verify that a request came from an authorized user. Instead they verify only that the request came from the browser of an authorized user. Because browsers run code sent by multiple sites, there is a danger that one site will (unbeknownst to the user) send a request to a second site, and the second site will mistakenly think that the user authorized the request.
The report is available as a PDF for download.

What Am I Doing?
- Currently playing Resistance 2 and getting owned on competitive mode
- Installed W@W 1.02 patch, should now be able to play with American friends, let the desync commence
- Just finished playing World at War, can now connect to people. Spawning is really bad, a very high chance of being shot in the back.
- Still can't connect to anyone on World at War multiplayer, but people can connect to me, very annoying.
- Finished Call of Duty World at War single player, felt shorter than Modern Warfare. Now I can play Zombie mode.
- Played Call of Duty World at War, at the moment I'm not keen on it, WWII doesn't do it for me. I'll keep playing, might start to like it.
- Yay, I got news that Call of Duty World at War has been delivered from Game.
- Just finished playing Call of Duty 4, which could be the last time, as W@W should arrive tomorrow.
- At work
- Played some CoD4 before work, my team was really bad
- Downloading Ubuntu, Vista is horrible to develope on
- On my way home through the lovely rain on my bike
- Completed Far Cry 2 at the weekend
- Installed Twinkle app on touch, awesome for a free app
- Setting up Twitter on my Ipod Touch
