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
- 535 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/

107Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Curvature (2017) dir Dieogo Hallivis An interesting, low-budget sci-fi, but with a confusingly flawed plot and at times terrible script and support acting. Scientist Helen (Lyndsy Fonseca) returns to work a couple of weeks after her husband killed himself. He was also a scientist and his company has invented a time machine. What seems to her a day or so later she awakes a bit groggy and discovers she cannot remember the past 7 days. She then gets a phone call from a mysterious woman warning her someone is coming to kill her. She goes to her family hunting cabin and there she finds some things not quite as expected, as if someone was leaving her clues and eventually works out things are not what they seemed to be at first. As I said already the plot is confusing. What we are eventually meant to believe has happened involves someone using the time machine to travel into their own past, to get their past self to do something different. So now, in the timeline we are watching at least, there are 2 copies of this character. This ought to make for an interesting plot about the consequences of time travel, if it were possible. But it's just badly written and does not explore this the way a serious sci-fi film ought to. For example the fact that someone goes back into their own past, making two copies of themselves, surely means one of those two is also going to go back in time eventually, so then there then will be 3 of them, and then one of those will go back in time to make 4, etc etc. It also has some pretty cheap plot elements and crappy lines. There is one bit were someone is tracking another person down, finds them inside a locked room, and says something like “OK, come out or I'll count to 10 then smash the door down”. Why would you give your enemy a 10 s warning!? It's like a child wrote it at times. However it's still an interesting story and the lead actor manages to hold things together despite the poor support. 4 / 10- 2

What I Watched This Week #120 (April 15-21) Of Time and the City dir. Terence Davies/2008/1h18m Of Time and the City is a documentary collage film made up of newsreel and archive footage that builds up a picture of the director's childhood in Liverpool during the 50's and 60's. This is like film as a memory, fragmented and broken into unrelated segments as if it were edited by stream of consciousness all scored to a majestic classical soundtrack. The narration, by Davies himself, is just like the rest of the film, at times he snarls about religion and the royal family, at others he rhapsodises about his working class upbringing, his s*xual awakening. Both incredibly personal and universal – he could be talking about a thousand cities, a thousand lives – the juxtaposition of dirt poor children playing in the streets set to highbrow classical music does become a little laboured over the length of the film, but that is my only small negative I have for this very moving picture of time and place. 9/10 Joint Security Area dir. Park Chan-wook/2000/1h48m On the border of North and South Korea two Northern soldiers are killed by a soldier from the South with the investigation uncovering what seems to be a very strange mystery – too many bullets fired, stories not matching up – but the truth is much simpler and much more tragic. Director Park Chan-wook is a master of unravelling mysteries in interesting ways – Oldboy and the recent Decision to Leave being two prime examples – and this is no different, with the investigation uncovering more information relayed through flashbacks. Saying anything more about the plot would be to spoil it, but the tension never lets up, even during moments of levity, because one wrong move would be disastrous for both sides. The two lead performances of South Korean Sgt. Lee (Lee Byung-hun) and the North's Sgt. Oh (Song Kang-ho, probably the biggest star in Korean film right now thanks to his work with b*ng Joon-ho) are excellent. The film also ends with a brilliant still image from a scene in the middle of the film that is given a whole new meaning thanks to the context we subsequently get. 9/10 Lime's Film of the Week! Dead of Night dir. Charles Crichton, Basil Dearden, Robert Hamer, Alberto Cavalcanti/1945/1h43m Dead of Night is an anthology horror film that stars Mervyn Johns as Walter Craig, an architect invited to a cosy little country inn to see about renovations, but when he arrives he realises that all of the people there, total strangers, are people he has seen in a dream, a dream where something terrible happens at the end, but he can't remember what. We then get four of the guests telling spooky stories of their own, which makes up the majority of the film. While the first three stories are good, especially the more comedic one about a dead golfer haunting his friend, it's the last one that really sticks with you. It stars Michael Redgrave as ventriloquist Maxwell Frere who goes mad with jealousy thinking that his d*mmy Hugo wants to leave him for another ventriloquist. It felt very much like an inspiration for the brilliant Anthony Hopkins film Magic (and every other creepy ventriloquist's d*mmy in media.) Chilling and charming in equal measure, this is a fun watch with some genuine thrills sprinkled throughout. 9/10 The Guard dir. John Michael McDonagh/2011/1h36m Mean, miserable, drug addled and prostitute loving small town Irish cop Gerry Boyle (Brendan Gleeson) is less than pleased when he's teamed up with FBI agent Wendell Everett (Don Cheadle) to bust an international drug smuggling ring. This is a black comedy with a real mean streak that you can't help but to compare to the works of the director's brother Martin McDonagh, particularly In Bruges. It's a testament to this film that it's not a totally unflattering comparison. Gleeson is always a joy to watch, even when he's playing someone so aggressively unlikeable. Cheadle doesn't really have a lot to do other than be amazed that Boyle is saying/doing the things that he's saying/doing, but he does it well. It does fell a little too mean spirited at points, but that is softened by a few scenes where Boyle meets with his equally foul-mouthed mother (Fionnula Flanagan), and I really liked Mark Strong's character of a drug dealer who feels like he's above it all. 7/10 The Party dir. Sally Potter/2017/1h11m Janet (Kristin Scott Thomas) is throwing a party to celebrate getting a shadow ministerial position but her husband Bill (Timothy Spall) seems distant and distracted, her best friend April (Patricia Clarkson) is splitting up with her partner, the very zen Godfried (Bruno Ganz), and Tom (Cillian Murphy) has turned up upset with a load of cocaine and a gun. A blackly comic social satire, this gets a little too verbose at times and feels like the characters are just spouting ideologies rather than having conversations for a lot of the very short runtime, but when it is as well written as this is you can forgive that for the most part. The performances are all solid. Clarkson's withering insults had me cackling every time, and I couldn't get enough of Ganz's Godfried, especially when he starts a therapy session for Bill and Tom. This film also has a really strong ending which I didn't see coming but that the script had seeded subtly throughout in a very smart way. 8.5/10 The Cure dir. Charlie Chaplin/1917/24m In this mid tier Chaplin short he plays an alcoholic who checks in to a health spa in order to sober up, but it's going to be a hard job when he brings a case full of booze with him. In the end the spa's well of curative water is spiked with alcohol and everyone enjoys getting blasted. During the film he makes classic slapstick out of revolving doors, the changing rooms and has a wrestling match with a burly masseuse. For me, whenever Chaplin strays from the character of the little tr*mp his films lose a bit of their heart and humanity. Rather than actually having anything to say this film is more like his earlier works in that it's just a succession of gags. They're really good ones performed by the best to ever do it, but when you know he's capable of more then you can't help but feel a little disappointed. That said, this is still better than the majority of films from the time and we're lucky to still have them. 6.5/10 Dilating for Maximum Results dir. Nyala Moon/2023/14m Trans woman Dreya (writer/director Nyala Moon) is going to hook up with her online boyfriend for the first time, but she has never been with a man and hasn't dilated in years, with this comedy following her as she tries to get ready. You learn something new every day, and the day I watched this film I learned that trans women need to dilate to stop from closing up, and that is what we get here in what I can only call a zany way. My main problem with this film is that the comedy is very TikTok if that makes sense. It's just not my taste, but that's me being an old man not hip with the kids. I do like how much of Moon's personality shines through here, she's very engaging and likeable. I also appreciate seeing a film about a trans woman that's not depressing and only focuses on negative experiences. 6/10 TRAY TRAY KO dir. Seba Calfuqueo/2022/6m (no trailer so here's the artist performing another piece in a gallery) This avant-garde piece of indigenous art see filmmaker Calfuqueo drag a long train of shimmering blue material through the Chilean rainforest to a sacred spot at the base of a waterfall. The only sounds are that of the forest and the water. The material is like a stream of man's making, leaving its mark on the landscape but only for a second, only until Calfuqueo hass passed by. There's a gorgeous overhead shot of the synthetic stream running next to a real one, man in harmony with nature. Hypnotic and meditative. 7/10- 2
