Jesus Grape-Flavored Christ Lithium sucks!

As most people, I was super disappointed with the amateur effort of Lithium. So I wanted to check the forums to see what others thought, and what issues are going on.

I don't even know where to begin.

It maybe true that whoever worked on this "update" put a lot of time and effort into it, but please forgive me if I find that hard to believe, or that I think it was not nearly enough of an effort. I really don't even need to explain myself, it is self-evident to almost everyone. Why wasn't this "update" beta tested or at least tested by some QA department, I don't even understand how it got passed by the development team that worked on it.

Now, onto a bigger question, was this drastic overhaul necessary? Was it even ever asked for? Because I have not seen any benefit that is significant enough to have constituted a change of this size. In fact, glitches and loading times aside, what has been added that improves my experience? Is the forum easier to navigate? Is everything more organized? Do all these visual changes help me recognize and read things better? Does this now colorless forum have more substance and character, does it make my eyes and I more comfortable to be here? Do I have more options to customize/personalize, or at least the same amount of options that I had before? Are there added features that help me do more of what I want to do, and then some? For me, and many others, I think the answer is no.

Please, bring back the old forums and work on improving them by adding/changing things that WE want, not what you THINK we want. I think that we are all open to change, as long as it is change for the better.

It's so completely messed up that I have to use IE 8 ( I hate IE) to view the forums the way it's "supposed" to look. It's just broken all around.

The CSS isn't working and it shows everything in plain links with a white background.

Everytime I try and reply to a post i just get the "retry" "retry" over and over again

OK So I keep clicking the announcements and getting directed to post your opinion here no wait here so **bleep** that i can't even reply to any of those so I'm doing it here. This "update" sucks from what I see of it so far. The theme is awful and I think I read that it can't be changed? Why? How is that considered an upgrade? Also why do you kill off other features and still call it any kind of update? Should have left it how it was. Was just fine but now it's just a strain on the eyes. It is also unresponsive and slow at loading. And now I can't even seem to go to my messages

My god, not only could Hellen Keller tell you these forums look horrible, but now I am waiting 5 minutes everytime I click on something. Not to mention my top of the page wont even load.

The new forums are completely screwed up. For one thing I couldn't sign in. The normal sign it link kept timing out. The sign in link in the forums wasn't a link (I couldn't click on it). I finally managed to log in, by looking at the source code and finding the sign-in link. I couldn't use https since that's broken, only http worked.

Let me start out by saying I'd make paragraphs like I used to but I can't view the preview to prove it still converts code automatically so you'll have to read a wall of text instead. Now I can travel here and enjoy the new look and browse through the different boards, but when I select any thread the text doesn't appear. All I see is a big white box that says who posted it, when, and that I can even report them if I want to. Oddly enough it appears that I can reply and start new threads (I haven't actually hit post yet so I might actually just be talking to myself) but I have no idea what I'm replying about except for what is written in the title. All I can say is change can be good but shouldn't the Playstation 3 be able to utilise boardsus.PLAYSTATION.com? I hope someone can bring this to the attention of whomever can fix this. I won't even be able to see if anyone replies to this until I can get to a computer on Tuesday. I'll try to get to one sooner to be sure my complaint actually posted.

when im on a post and i want to go to the next page, say page 2, the next button or just clicking "2" doesnt work. anybody else have this problem? im using chrome..

these new forums are really frustrating..the white background burns my eyes and now this..sony please change it back

Calling in the A-Squad

"You were sent here to protect us but who protects us from you" ~ KRS-1

For Black History Month I decided to invite other Bloggers to write on my Blog. I wanted other perspectives on Black History Month. They are all bloggers with personalities that differ from mine. And I hope you enjoyed them. I believe that my fellow bloggers have a disdain for the Mainstream Media. The Black Bloggers especially seem to have a lack of respect for them. That’s why a lot of people started blogging. They…..We…. essential thought we could do a better job. Some bloggers will be modest and tell you that’s not the reason but it is. I look at some of the bloggers on my blog list and they are talking about issues that I don’t hear on Mainstream Television and Radio. They are also giving insightful commentary about some of today’s issues. Even the gossip and celebrity blogs are beating out the MSM entertainment shows regarding information. Now I’m not suggesting that I want to hear about baby mama’s and breast implants but everyone has different tastes.


I do believe bloggers need to stay on top of the events because someone has too. After years of providing our window to the world, the MSM is running on fumes. The MSM’s marriage with corporations has finally caught up to them. The lack of oversight has finally caught up to them. The inability to be able to adjust to a changing demographic has finally caught up to them. If a news organization doesn’t hold peoples feet to the fire, what good is it to me? If a news organization only gives you the news that they want to give you, what good is it to me? The news has been massaged and dumbed down before we receive it. It reminds me of when a mother bird chews a baby birds’ food before they eat it. The journalists that are providing the news are compromised. They either are in the pockets of corporations or they are afraid of the government. Their job is to ask the tough questions so we can get honest answers.


Somebody has to stay on top of organizations such as the Congressional Black Caucus. They are supposed to represent mostly minority districts but what are they really doing for their constituents? We also need to call out racism, sexism, classism and ageism whenever we can. I think we do a good job but we will eventually have to step it up a notch. We don’t exactly know what that is yet but we will handle it when we arrive at that point (I hope!!). Thanks again to my fellow Bloggers.

We'd like to send a shout out to the crew at Lithium, who just can't seem to keep their newly designed forums up. The Playstation forums have gone down more times then a white house intern today. But honestly, Lithium is a horrible web design group, and probably got hired for the incredibly cheap lowball offer they gave. Fuck you Lithium.

Earl Francis Lloyd

I met Earl Lloyd at this past weekend’s Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) Tournament in Charlotte N.C. I generally don’t talk to dudes in the bathroom unless I know them but I remember Mr. Lloyd from TV. Actually it was from an excellent documentary called Black Magic. He was washing his hands so we gave each other an elbow bump. I kept getting the information wrong about him (his college, his professional team) but he could tell that I did watch the video. Mr. Lloyd was one of the first African Americans (or whatever they are calling us this week) to play in the National Basketball Association. The great thing about meeting him was that he wasn’t stuck up. He was extremely friendly in our brief encounter. Lloyd and others like him paved the way for the current NBA players. Meeting him made me think about the rich Legacy that black folks have. If current NBA players, only knew what their predecessors had to go through for them to play in the league now. And if Historically Black Colleges and University alumni, only knew of the rich athletic heritage that came from their schools.

LocoGlitcho

According to email:

Could you make mention on your blog about locoroco glitching out. Every time I got there it's glitching out and crashing. Why can't they test this stuff first?

Motorstorm Johnny Cash

I noticed the banner in Motorstorm is a direct ripoff of the classic Johnny Cash giving the middle finger. Thought I'd share that.

Update -- GlassWalls + Hackers = Confusion; The Reply

There you have it folks, importing and or hacking is a no no. It is not allowed. Not, "We frown upon it" not, "people shouldn't be doing it." "None of it is allowed."

So now some of you might be thinking, "Well what about the other part of the question??" Fear not, I have sent another PM asking, more directly, what steps they, the Home staff, are taking to prevent such things from happening.

I'll let you know when he responds.

*pro-tip: click pictures to make them bigger

GlassWalls + Hackers = Confusion

So, we often hear over and over that hacking items isn't allowed. However, according to email:

i was in the mall around valentines day and i snapped these pix of glasswalls with the mint crew all of them wearing exclusives from other regions.

Interesting. So is this allowed or not?

Staff Communication

Finally over the last week or so the Home staff have poked their heads out of the ground. Since they didn't see their shadows, we can expect stuff to get done. So far, here are some interesting tidbits of information we didn't have prior to this:

1. The Home staff are unaware of what's going on on the development side, at very least related to what tools are coming to help ease harassment.
2. Two new HCM folks have been added, one of which is MercuryValentine who's job seems to be related to harassment.
3. Jack Buser, director of Home supposedly reads the forums daily, and submits posts he finds interesting to the HCM.

As more details on their positions and knowledge come out, we will keep you up to date

What Happened To The Princesses ?

Most of us grow up watching Disney princess... (it's seem embarrassing but we watched it in kindergarten, my kindergarten was run by nuns), Ever wonder what could have happened to those princesses given they still existed in our time line.

Dina Goldstein a photographer decided to give this princess the reality instead of fairy tale. She saw how's this fairy tale has an impact on the children. Although harsh it was interesting to see these damsel in distress get a real meaning of distress. Enjoy the photo below.

She's aged but she's still trying to remained as the beautiful Beauty, Belle turned to cosmetic surgery

The Little Riding Hood shows what kids nowadays is struggling with - obesity.

The truth is, Snow White married Prince Charming, but her prince doesn't give a damn about her, instead he watched TV all day long neglecting Snow White and their children.

Cinderella fallen out of her fairy tale world and end up in an infamous bar in Vancouver.

Princess Jasmine geared up for battle instead of waiting for Aladin

Cancer is still the primary killer in the world, Rapunzel is not excluded.

The Prince is still waiting for the princess to wake up, he wait and wait until he was too old to take care for himself and he end up at an old folks home, still waiting.

Have you ever heard the story about the princess and the pea where the princess have to tell that there's a pea underneath the pile of mattresses in order to capture the prince's heart. However the princess can never tell the presence of the pea because she was too distracted with what the world has become - a landfill.

 

It wasn't all happy ending in the end, the little mermaid end up in an aquarium instead of meeting her prince.

5 things I like about The Biggest Loser Asia

Everyone love reality shows. One of my fave is The Biggest Loser

I like The Biggest Loser because I like seeing plus-sized (notice that I always use plus-sized instead of the F word, I don't want to offend anyone) people get tortured. TBL is like an initiation for these people before they can be accepted into the community.

Finally in 2009, Hallmark Channel had come up with an Asia edition of The Biggest Loser Asia. I was a little skeptic about it at first because almost any American-based show failed once it was Asian-ated - remember Malaysian Idol?

After the first episode, which shows the audition across Asia it already captured my attention and I can't wait for the next episode to come. So here I'm going to share 5 things i love about this show - it's not in particular order tho'.

#5 Sarimah Ibrahim 

Sarimah Ibrahim is the perfect choice for the job of hosting this show. Not only because she is a fluent English speaker and she looks Asian but also she kinda remind me of The host for American TBL, Caroline Rhea.

'Notice the resemblance, only she's blonder'

#4The show took place in Melaka (Malaysia)

I'm not a patriotic person, but when my country is put in an international television I will be most of the time proud of it. The opening credit for this show makes you think 'is this the biggest loser Asia or the biggest loser Malaysia'.

#3 Plus-sized people can finally contribute something to the Asian entertainment industry

It was a harsh reality because most of the time size is a matter in the entertainment industry, plus-sized people often failed to stay in the pedestal or they can only become either a host or comedian. With TBL, they finally can became a star of a reality show.

"Comedian, Host , Singer"

#2 The Drama is Too Real Too Be Edited

The first episode already cause drama when only few people are selected to be in the house. Most of the drama in the show involved health problems which is what we will see in the real world. Of course when 'these' people are put on a treadmill for the first time lots of things will happened.

Here's some example worth mentioning.

• Damietta sprained her ankles when she runs over a small hole.
• Kevin was dehydrated for the first time ever in his life after undergoing exercise.
• The Pinoy Alliance .

#1 It's the first ever The Biggest Loser Asia!!!

That's all for now... don't forget to check in next time for 5 things I hate about The Biggest Loser Asia... which you know will include 'The ever annoying The Pinoy Alliance' which was broken thanks to the emergence of Black Team (the contestant have to compete individually).

Smokers dumber than Non-Smokers

The headline is the actual title of the article that I've read. It shows that we all are just dumb people but apparently smokers are the dumber one.

"First thing in mind when talking about dumbness"

A study done in Israel on their military recruits proved that people who smoked have lower IQ compare to those who smoke less or don't smoke at all.

The earlier you started smoking the more of your intelligence level will dropped. I guessed this is one more reason for people to butt out.

I think this result of the study is true because I've seen smokers and most of them are dumb. For example, when they raised the price of a pack of cigarette, smokers still buy them although they realized that the government is ripping off their wallet.

Another example took place in my own campus, the 'No-Smoking' sign is posted on the wall and it was big enough for people to see. However these no-good-cancer-carrying-douche still smoke as if they never see the sign. I guess they saw the sign but were too dumb to know what it means...

"TEACHER: Tell me what this sign means?"

"SMOKER: Err... whau...sji#emns%d...ajslajsiwd@"

lady gaga pokes fun at rumors

i thought i should post about famous (real, famous) people once in a while...

everyone knows lady gaga right? there's been a rumor spread about her being a hermaphrodite (appropriate term for a lady who has dick or a men who has vajay)

in her recent magazine cover shoot, lady gaga pokes fun at the rumor by posing topless (to show she is a real lady) and also sporting a ridiculously inappropriate bulge in her pants.

pictures of the mag is below, i censored the top because i thought it was too NSFW and the bulge is indicated with a red circle. LOLO

5 Lame Attitudes That Makes You Refused To Bring The Person Out With You

So you're planning to go out on the weekends, partying is just to common so you decided to go to an island but you don't have anyone to bring with you.

Your girlfriend/boyfriend were up with their own plan and you don't want to make them think that you don't have your own life, then you told yourself, 'guess, i have to invite my friends then'.

unfortunately, you have like a thousands friends and your car can only squeezed in four more people - maximum. so you decided to thinned down the competition and choose the awesome four.

i'm not going to tell you how to choose the most awesome buddy to bring with you but instead, i'm going to guide you on people you should avoid bringing along.

it's pretty tough at first but once you started to see these five attitudes in that person,you know it's time to cross their names on your list.

#1 The Restless Complaint Machine

It's hot and your car air-cond doesn't work well, and these person started to complained and became restless through the whole journey making other feel uncomfortable as well.

This type of behavior will not only cause you to become stressed but also make other people concerned.

This video shows exactly what I mean ...



#2 The Choosy Eww-ed Face

It's in the middle of nowhere and the only restaurant you can find is a worn out stall.

Not confident about the food you decided to buy the water bottles and suddenly the person told you that he/she doesn't want to drink the bottled water because he/she was afraid of getting poisoned or something
.
You decide to drink the water from the bottle to prove nothing was wrong, unfortunately the person decided to be a choosy brat and give you an 'eww face'.

"example of an eww face"

#3 The Person Who Needs Some Serious Red Bull Prescription

Above is a Red Bull drink, as we all know it's an energy drink, so #3 is a type of person who can't walk around over a period of time.

This can be apply to girls who often stereotyped as a weak creature compared to man but yet they are able to go around browsing the whole shopping mall without showing any sign of exhaustion.

Surely you don't want to bring along people who needs to take a seat once every 10 minutes.

#4 The Silent One

By silent, I meant the absolutely silent one where they only speak when you asked them something. First of all they contribute almost nothing to the trip (unless they have some skill which is relevant to your trip, but surely you don't want to bring this kinda person to a weekly karaoke session) and most of the time they are boring.

"who knows what's going on in their mind?"

#5 The Risk Avoider

You already have something you want to do in mind - unfortunately you have to cancelled it because these person refused to do anything you're planning to do.

For example, refusing to eat sushi because he/she is scared that some shit will cause him/her some stomach upset.

Or refusing to go to the Fun Fair (Amusement park for those who're not familiar with the word fun fair) because he/she was afraid some Final Destination movie thing will happened.

One advise if you meet these kinda people - ditch 'em.

"Holy S#$5@ !!!"

Besides that 5 attitude, I have more attitude for you to look at for example The Racist Comedian, The Sarcastic and lotsa more... BTW think before you bring anyone...

Public Display of Affection goes Online !!!

In my last post I was talking about the problem with public display of affection (PDA). This is a continuation of that post but now we're talking about online PDA.

with the emergence of social networking like twitter, facebook and myspace (can't believe people still hooked on myspace) people are now allowed to PDA-ed online. Of course this behavior is intended to show the public how much in love these lovebirds are.

so how does online PDA work?

the most common things these people do is posting their love and affection in their updates or shoutout.. in hopes that people will notice and give feedback... LAME...

another method is to upload their oh-so-lovey-dovey photo and tagged everyone in it... (this works in facebook most of the time)

"somewhere between michelle and barack... I exist..."

that two was the most common method that i ever encountered, so if you have any suggestion don't forget to hit that comment button...

 "Hitorigoto" ひとり言 soliloquy 16"x20" 

Audrey Kawasaki's artwork first captured my attention when I was perusing GelaSkins for laptop decals.  After looking through their artist series, I discovered this LA-based artist whose artwork is a sensual mix of traditional Japanese mythology, manga, Art Nouveau, and natural organic scenes. In using natural wood as her canvas, the warmth gleams through her artwork and adds a special ambiance to it. I love the delicate, moody atmosphere her art exhibits. Truly beautiful.
