PSN Gets…Chainmail?

PS3Vault: 'Chainmail is something everybody either hates or should hate. It's pointless, it's stupid and it's just generally a waste of time. There are absolutely no upsides to chainmail, no matter how profusely it may promise that sending it to 10 people will guarantee you getting laid the following night, it doesn't happen. Believe us, we sent that to 100 people just to be sure, it didn't work.

I hate chainmail more than the majority of chainmail-hating people do. It preys on humanity's insecurities, such as the fear of small zombie children with long black hair and our slightly senseless paranoia when it comes to all things involving said demonic children (why do you think the Ring and the Grudge both terrify you?). Imagine the taste left in my mouth after I got such mail through my sanctuary from such things.

It was last week when I got a completely blank message on PSN with an image attached to it. This image included all of the ingredients that other chainmail is cooked up from; the 'pass on to your friends' message, the ridiculous explanation of why you must do this, and the manatory 'do not send to the bastard who sent it to you' post script. You can see the image below.'

Yeah i received two of those a few weeks ago..

Raoh5368d ago

LOL I got disagrees for receiving chain-mail?

lmfao only on N4G

Mindboggle5367d ago

The problem is N4G is full of Sony fanboys. You got the disagrees because some fanboys wont accept there is chainmail on their "Perfect" console. Its pathetic.

And yes I got that image a couple of days ago, and I sent it to all my friends..

Panthers5367d ago

I got this too, and deleted it. I dont care about some stupid little experiment.

DanSolo5368d ago

Yeah I got one of those, I fvcking hate those and the people that are stupid enough to send em!

Maddens Raiders5368d ago

"It was last week when I got a completely blank message on PSN with an image attached to it."

huh? how are you guys getting completely blank messages from (no one?)

a/w - My buddy ShadowFlare sent this to me weeks ago and it was no big deal. I don't really understand the outrage here. It's not like they're asking for your Social Security # or something. It's just kind of a gag.

valanceer5367d ago

I got this a while ago from a friend then sent it out to 40 people :D but it wasn't blank, said PASS IT ON lol

PLAYINB3YOND5368d ago

lol even PSN isn't safe from the chainmail gremlins!

MysticStrummer5368d ago

I will delete it along with the person who sent it to me.

Finalfantasykid5368d ago

Ya I got that lame message as well. Pretty stupid if you ask me. I just deleted the image immediately.

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies16h ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing691d 3h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker1d 3h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo1d 3h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing691d 2h ago (Edited 1d 2h ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos23h ago(Edited 23h ago)

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken11h ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos1d 9h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto1d 8h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger881d 8h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies22h ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
