In this week's episode we discuss:
- What we've been playing
- PSN monthly free games
- Amazon buying Twitch
- Did the Playstation Network get hacked again?
...Plus we answer your questions, and much more!
As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.
And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.
While many are fans of the Honkai Star Rail story so far, The Nerd Stash believes that the deaths of Robin and Firefly no longer carry much weight.
Wardens Rising is looking like a promising new take on the ARPG genre, especially when played with friends.
Banks hacked , yowza!
PSN wasn't hacked, it was a DDOS, which sends a ton if traffic to overload the servers, and prevents actual people from connecting into that said server. A DDOS does not gain people's private information, the Lizard Squad are far from a real hacker. Also, I hate how people don't understand the difference between the two, it is quite annoying when false rumours spread.
Ddos is not a hack, it's just a server overload.
Jesus people learning is fun. DDOSing is relatively easy to do on a smaller scale explanation it's really just overloading the network with pseudo-Mac addresses to shut down the network or overload it. This is almost impossible to stop because you cannot tell what sources of traffic are legitimate. Microsoft while better equipped to keep their network afloat was still hit with sign in issues on a smaller scale. NOTHING TO DO WITH STEALING PERSONAL INFORMATION but it can allow a gateway to greater damage if that's what these hackers were going for. Sony did a much better job of cleaning up this time lets give them that much credit.. And they kept us relatively informed of what was going on
I love how every article about this always has "hack" and Sony. i guess they forgot about Microsoft, blizzard, twitch.tv, lol, path of exile, GW2, and many other that have been "hacked" this past 2 weeks. or my personal favorite lets leave out the bomb threat SOE president got. freaking idiots
