How to make a Bigger PS3 controller. So i have kinda big hands and the PS3 controller always seems to not be very comfortable in the heat of battle. I couldn't get a real good grip on it cause the handles are so small. Well i searched and searched online and there are no aftermarket controllers that offer a bigger grip. So i decided to make my own. Here are the secrets of a wizard. use at your own risk. To to make your controller bigger you need these things. 1. 2X 5 hour energy shot / or small flexible plastic bottle of same or correct size. 2. a 20" bicycle tube 3. scissors and a hacksaw preferably 4. a ps3 controller 5. a towel and some water. …

Ok, so I just went out and got a pretty good Boxing Day sale on the ps4 with 5 games. Come home, very eager to play and the stupid thing won't work.. So pissed! So what happens is I connect it all up, and I turn it on and the tv says there is no input. The blue light changes to white so is on. I have changed hdmi ports on the to, changed cables and also changed monitors. The tv is fairly new, only bought it 8months ago but it is probably a year or 2 old.. What has happened 2 times now was that the PlayStation logo would show, and then it would lose connection to the tv. I have looked up everything and nothing has fixed it.. Check if it had a bent hdmi tab and tried t…

My headset for the PS3 broke around a week ago... was only a cheap bluetooth one. Want to get something more substantial now. I'm currently playing on the PS3 but will upgrade to the PS4 eventually so I am wanting a headset which is compatible with both. Can someone please recommend one? I have no budget but I don't have a clue as to which headsets are any good?!?! The main one ive been looking at is this one on amazon --- http://www.amazon.co.uk/Turtle-Beach-Stealth-Wireless-Playstation/dp/B00KSQAACO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1419112605&sr=8-1&keywords=turtle+stealth+ps3 Thanks

Anyone familiar with this issue: My ps3 (fat) do not send any picture to the tv, just black. Was working fine last night. Tried the reset thing, a second cable, second tv, still no picture. Its old, the laser gave up a few months ago, maybe this is the end. EDIT: Well, out of nowhere it started to work again. (damn glad i have the ps4 ready when it drops)

Pulse and Pulse Elite PS4 FYI
by JustHatched- 0 replies
- 637 views
Just to save anyone some frustration, If you use either of the headsets mentioned in the title with your PS3, either will work with the PS4 but it isn't just plug and play like the PS3. Long story short the only way it will work is to download the Companion App from the PS Store to your PS4 and then plug the headset into the PS4 via USB cord and download the app to the headset and it will then work like it is suppose to. If you do online research it's all wrong, most tell you to plug it into the controller like the factory supplied ear bud, you can get game sound that way thru the headset but the mic will not work, you must download to app as mentioned above.

Some of you might know I recently purchased a new TV. It is a 42" SHARP 1080p LED HD TV. Huge jump up from my 4 year old 36" Toshiba LCD one. Picture quality is more than great for what I need it to do. Colors are rich and blacks are deep. It has a 120 Hz refresh rate which is noticeable in action/speed sequences. Getting used to playing on something like this is kind of like picking up a game after not playing it for a month or coming back to a game after you've been playing another solely for an extended period. To the point though. I don't exactly have the words to describe it but since we all play GTA here perhaps someone can give some insight as to what's goi…

I've tried so many help resources and videos with not much help, so I figured maybe I could try here. I'll just copy and paste what I put on the Apple forums: Hello, I am having an issue with an Insignia Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter. The picture is working just fine, however, I am not getting any audio as it continually comes through the Macbook Pro. I have scoured the web and watched endless help videos and read many help sites and forums. The problem is I am not getting my TV on the audio output drop down list to select for audio. I only have Internal Speakers and a bluetooth speaker I set up a while back. Things of note: - The HDMI adapter does…

Most know that I live in the sticks, and it is alot of an internet dead zone for anything, the phone company doesn't even provide dial up here. SO we use a Hughesnet satellite for general web use and for the shop, we use verizon cell phones as hotspots to game off of. Neither is a good option, can't game from the satellite and the phone has a data limit that doesn't alllow much past gaming itself without paying a fortune. I found a comapny today that swears they can give us top notch service here. It's called broandbandq and the 2 plans we are looking at, A - 3G service with 6 MBPS download speed and 1 up with unlimited data cap and the speeds do not change with the amo…

This will be a simple topic of my impressions of the PS4 as I get it setup and running and figuring out the menu and what. For reference I will be using the Sniper Elite 3 game as well (was going to get the Destiny bundle but decided against a white PS4 plus Sniper was on sale) Since I am at work now the only thing I can comment on is going to get it, first thought - Good god this thing is heavy compared to the PS3.

Phones have been a little interest of mine for a long number of years. After watching Apple's keynote presentation on a number of releases and future plans, it got me thinking. With the release of the next iPhone and much hyped about iWatch (which is a huge gimmick IMO), will you be getting a new phone this Fall? Is this iPhone on your list? Do you intend on getting a new phone sometime down the line? Perhaps you're Android and if so, are there any devices you're looking forward to whether it's a phone or tablet? Or do you just not care? http://www.apple.com/watch/ http://www.apple.com/iphone/

179Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Throne of Blood (1957) dir Akira Kurosawa This is Kurosawa's version of Macbeth. It's not like the more usual Shakespearian adaptations that use the original lines, rather it's the same basic story with different lines in a different setting; medieval Japan. It's unmistakeably Macbeth right from the start as the camera pans across a misty, mysterious, highland landscape. Toshirô Mifune stars Washizu (i.e. Macbeth), initially a soldier (I guess you would say Samurai, although I am not totally sure of the correct usage of that) in the army of the local lord (i.e. King Duncan). Washizu and another soldier, Miki (i.e. Macduff), are on the way back from a victorious battle to their lord's castle. They get lost in forest and come across a spirit (equivalent of the witches) who foretells their promotion and that eventually Washizu will be the new lord but it will be Miki's son who succeeds him. They are promoted, Washizu tells his wife (Lady Macbeth, obviously) about the prophecy and it is she who encourages him on the path of deceit, betrayal and murder that will see him full-fill the rest of the prophecy but attempt to change it so that a son of his own succeeds him. One thing I did find slightly odd, and funny, is that whereas in Shakespeare's original (and the historical facts it is based on) Macbeth becomes King of Scotland, here Washizu becomes Lord of Spider's Web Castle. I am assuming that in Japanese “Spider's Web Castle” sounds more impressive than it does in English. It is very well made, of course, and the actors are good, particularly Isuzu Yamada as Lady Washizu. Like Olivier's Shakespeare adaptions it does not seem dated, and I think the Shakespearian style is what helps there. There is some very impressive cinematography, both of the landscapes and some of the castle interior scenes. One that sticks in my mind is when Lady Washizu hatches one of her plans we see her walk into another room, that is pitch black and then emerge shortly after carrying some bottles of drugged saki. The camera stays fixed for all of this, with the doorway to the dark room in the centre so it's almost like she disappears and then reappears, as if using magic. Definitely well worth watching if you are into Shakespeare or Samurai films. 9 / 10- 1

Here's the last thing I bought! It's mighty expensive at $1600, but it makes a easy go of a complex operation. Set it and forget it and keep a sponge wet it's about all it takes! All it takes is a 4-day dry and a 4-day cure. -

TV shows
I just finished watching The Fall of the House of Usher on Netflix. Highly recommended! It's a horror-drama in 8 episodes, very loosely based on Edgar Allen Poe short stories or poems with each episode named after a different work of his. I have never read any of them and some had not even heard of, but I now at least know the brief synopsis of them from Wikipedia. What the creators have done is woven together a plot primarily based on the short story "The Fall of the House of Usher" that greatly expands on that. The first episode has the same name as the whole series. Roderick Usher, corrupt billionaire head of a major pharmaceutical company, invites an old adversary, lawyer August Dupin, to his family's derelict house, to confess to a host of crimes. Dupin has been trying to prosecute the Ushers for decades but they always got away with it. Now, following the recent deaths of all six of his children, supposedly in freak, horrific, unrelated accidents, Roderick wants to come clean. Most of the story is now told in flash back, both to the early years of Roderick and his sister Maddie (the brains behind their rise to power) and the children's recent deaths. The next 6 episode each focus on the violent deaths of a different son or daughter, each related in some way to the Edgar Allen Poe story that episode is named after. The final episode, The Raven, then brings everything to it's conclusion, revealing the true cause of all that has happened. It's very, very good. It is a bit bloody and gory at times, but never over-the-top, always done for a reason and usually to fit in with the story that death is named after. It features Mark Hamil in the most un-Luke-Skywalker-like role you can imagine. I never really rated him as an actor in Star Wars, but here, as the Usher's ruthless lawyer he is excellent. Another Netflix series I think is worth a mention is Kaos It's a modern day story of Greek Gods and Heroes, in a world where they most definitely exist and are still worshipped by mortals. Jeff Goldblum is Zeus and there's other recognisable faces amongst the rest of the cast, including David Thewlis as one of Zeus' brothers and fellow god Hades and Suzie Izzard as one of the Fates. It loosely follows the story of Orpheus in the Underworld, but this is part of a bigger plot with both gods and mortals having to accept what fate has in store for them, whether they like it or not.- 1
