Want to play your new console games? Too bad! Xbox Live and PSN taken out by Lizard Squad - Polidicks

[QUOTE=VinLAURiA;46795644]Uh, that's [I]constantly[/I] been the case since about... 2006.[/QUOTE] Except for the part where the Wii's library was 90% shovelware on hardware that couldn't output so much as 720p in 7th gen despite the fact that the Xbox and PS2 were already HD consoles the gen before, with good games far inbetween and the major heavy-hitter titles not even releasing until a few months before the WiiU came out. Yeah, sorry, the Wii sucked. And with each god-tier title that releases on the WiiU, the Wii only looks worse and worse.

I probably got like 500+ hours out of smash alone. That doesn't include Mario Kart Wii and that other Mario game that I can't remember the name of

Yeah, but seriously, it is inexcusable that they couldn't put out a console that could output images that wouldn't be eyesores the TVs that were contemporary to it. Especially when consoles a gen before were future-ready with 720p and 1080i output and even a decent list of software that rendered at those resolutions.

The Wii was a turd that Nintendo fucked up on by tacking on motion controls. I really wanted to like it as I love Nintendo games but they ruined it with the Wiimote and shovelware. The Wii U is great however.

Apparently not all of them

PSN is back up, just went to check before I went off to bed. Started my FC4 and GTAV downloads

[QUOTE=Saxon;46796508]PSN is back up, just went to check before I went off to bed. Started my FC4 and GTAV downloads[/QUOTE] The site still says it's offline and I can't browse the Playstation Store sooooo I'm gonna have to disagree with you. [editline]26th December 2014[/editline] Testing the network connection also shows that it can't connect to the PSN.

Seeing posts on twitter saying people are able to connect to XB live, but no success here. I gotta work tomorrow so I'm going to bed anyways. :(

[QUOTE=MightyLOLZOR;46795704]apparently they fried the PSN servers [img]http://puu.sh/dJF69/797573e311.png[/img][/QUOTE] Does this just mean the servers are down for even longer or is there data loss.

Wait a minute, I thought their personal information was released?

So i can't do what i wanted to on the only two days i get off for the next 2 months from work? fuck you little shits.

[QUOTE=Starlight 456;46793504]Wouldn't you be pissed if you just spent 400, 500 dollars and you have to wait until some manchildren are doing having a hissy fit to use it? How terrible that people are upset for being unable to use their gifts.[/QUOTE] Wouldn't it be nice to not be a manchildren and just wait a few days until you can play, it's not like it's an ultra important matter.

This is why I stick to PC gaming.

Jokes on them, I was happily playing DA:I last night in single player.

[QUOTE=xianlee;46797124]Jokes on them, I was happily playing DA:I last night in single player.[/QUOTE] You sure fooled them LOL!

snip, bad joke

[QUOTE=Megadave;46793848]*steam get's taken down Lizard Squad arrested the next day and executed.[/QUOTE] This could actually turn out to be good. Imagine all those people just hunting down Lizard Squad because, well, they can't do anything else. Especially certain chan- and reddit-people, who are quite high in numbers and anger.

Have we confirmed they've actually done it or are they just taking credit for the usual holiday traffic?

[QUOTE=xianlee;46797124]Jokes on them, I was happily playing DA:I last night in single player.[/QUOTE] So was I, I'm just worried that if I update it, I'm going to lose my save data.

Weird, connected to ps3 right now playing some last of us online.

[QUOTE=Arc Nova;46798155]Weird, connected to ps3 right now playing some last of us online.[/QUOTE] Word is its starting to come back up

Oh okay that fucking explains it. I was up yesterday evening making some sandwiches and tea gettin' ready to watch some Netflix since I'd just started subscribing again. Boot up the PS4 and hit that Netflix icon and I get a blue screen in my face and a little "cancel" icon at the bottom left. I sat there for fucking 20 minutes trying to figure out what was wrong and by the end I just gave up and fetched a DVD instead, now enjoying slightly stale sandwiches and borderline cold tea. Fuck you, Lizard Squad.

Can't ISPs stop DDoS attacks cold by seeing the type of traffic that's going outbound and having software just instantly throttle it before it ever leaves? Hey this single ISP is flooding this other IP with an insane number of requests. Stop. Apparently, Kim Dotcom offered Lizard Squad 3,000 vouchers for his Megaupload service, and said if they leave PSN and Xbox alone he'll convert them to lifetime accounts rather than Annual, and will terminate them if they're attacked again. I hope they're as dumb as I think they are and actually use them and practically give up their anonymity by doing it, and Kim Dotcom outs them

[QUOTE=Arc Nova;46798155]Weird, connected to ps3 right now playing some last of us online.[/QUOTE] I finished 100gb worth of downloads last night, seems like some of us are back even though it says its offline :v:
