COD BUNKER

Finishing up a Call of Duty Forum here on CODBUNKER is my goal by this weekend. I tried to integrate with current system last weekend…….major FAIL! So I am creating forum to reside separate from main system, yet still on CODBUNKER. CODBUNKER is also getting involved in social media………”It’s the thing to do nowadays” So I have already set up twitter account that you can follow, right now I am setting up a Facebook Fan Page. This may take more time than I thought, because I didn’t realize how EVERYBODY has a FB page. Just in the very beginnings of setting it up I seen lots of peeps I haven’t seen in YEARS! I am a sucker for wondering “Hey what ever happened to so and so?” I will try very hard to resist the social networking while tending to CODBUNKER.com first, but it will be hard LOL. Also I will limit MW2 playing time, so nobody prestige without me, I’ll be back for some HQ soon.

BTW:
I can call the forum…….um……forum, but thought of maybe CODBUNKER Chatter, scuttlebutt, locker, or outpost to name a few ideas………..Comment with your input and ideas!!!

If you have read all the news and articles that I have today, it seems that problems with the “Global Playstation Network Outage” is that there is a glitch caused by when GMT time switch to March 1, 2010 from February 28, 2010. There is “allegedly” math done by your local “fat boy” PS3 to convert GMT to your time, and somewhere along the line the GMT or the PS3 (not sure which since Sony is being sooooooo quiet and hush hush) is trying to flip to February 29, 2010 and the math goes berzerk (logic is either on or off…..no grey areas) and Kaboom! There is a lot of speculation that after midnight GMT tonight this problem will resolve itself. There are also those saying that you can open you PS3 and pull out the internal battery (CMOS battery for you computer types) and reset the clock manually. (CAUTION: They also say this will void your warranty and you could damage your PS3 if you do not know what you are doing) I was able to play up until 10:30pm EST last night until I voluntarily logged off and shut down machine myself…………Sooooooo I think I am going to go into my Man Cave and give it a try (they tell you not to do this, but I have backups of files and I’M NOT SCARED! LOL) If it does blow up though, I will perform the surgery on the battery and video it to upload to CODBUNKER for the curious. You never know this could last for quite some time…..Sony did come out and LIE to us stating it was the network at first (maybe they just didn’t know and were guessing……right!) So am I/we supposed to believe this will just fix itself. Since they have been so quiet, I don’t have a lot of faith in them LOL. Rumor is they even shut down their blog “for maintenance” today (I think it was they were tired of getting flamed!) But anyway, wish me luck. If I get on I guess I’ll be playing with the PS3 Slimmers out there with my magic fat boy, or I’ll be creating a tutorial…………stay tuned……………

That’s because Playstation Network is down….and good. From what I have gathered it seems to only affect the older models (not the PS3 slims). Death_by_me_75 first brought this to my attention when he could not log on to play so HQ with me. We troubleshot and went through all his settings, and they were all correct. He called his cable company and they had word of the PSN outage. Then CanadianK1ng sends me an email of some “virus” attack PSN servers. So I have done much searching and found just the above info, for the most part. I have seen some blogs stating that people are losing their trophy information. This is unconfirmed, but I would recommend that you stick in your usb stick and back up anyway. Here is more info cut and pasted from Sony Playstation’s Twitter account:

PSN status update (part 2): Readers/followers are confirming that “slim” units (120/250 GB models) are connecting normally.

PSN status update: We’re narrowing down the issue and continue to work to restore service to all. Updates as soon as we have them.

We’re aware that many of you are having problems connecting to PSN, and yes, we’re looking into it. Stay tuned for updates.
