You are Gamesblow aren't you? Admit it. I know you are. I'm on the PS Blog all the time and I can just tell you're him. The one on the Blog anyway.

Only 5 days left! Ok, it's unlikely the update will actually come on the 30th as well, but at least we have something to look forward to! I'm excited!

you cant have a walkthrough without the update. did the new store walktrough came before or after the new store came out?

TheHater - 544 days 16 hours ago

it came out before the store update. About a week before the update.

So does that mean that the 2.4 update is going to come out about a week after the video?

no it would come out on the same week as the video

ATLRoAcH - 544 days 15 hours ago

I don't think he is gamesblow, I know it. I'm here to call him out with proof. Oh this is sweet. Okay here is the proof.

A quote from gamesblow on the PS Blog:

"As for what I want out of in game xmb is simply the option to switch resolutions on the fly. going from 720P to 1080p at will when I want cause Warhawk and Uncharted for instance are 2 games that look and play better, to me, in 1080p but right now you have to manually do it everytime you want to play."

http://blog.us.playstation....

A quote from Silogon on N4G:

"Hmmm, seems a bit odd doesn't it? I guess it could be alright, but I didn't see the option to toggle resolutions in game there. That's going to be a bummer as that was my main function most wanted.

Really, do I wanna play "the nothing song" while playing Resistance 2? No. not really, but what I would of liked is the option to switch to 1080P from 720P on games that allow it like Uncharted and Warhawk for instance. Without backing out of the game and going to your settings and what not. It becomes a hassle."

http://n4g.com/NewsCom-1613...

Sound similar? These two are more than similar, they're one in the same. I told him to admit it and he didn't. I brought the proof. There it is. lol

I messaged that gamesblow way back when the sameone on the PSN. Heres my message I received.

"Re: youtube.
From: gamesblow

* Remove gamesblow from Friends

* Ignore gamesblow

Wrong gamesblow, dude. I've been wanting know myself and everyone keeps messaging me thinking I am him. I'm the gamesblow from the sony blog "omegaknowsitall" from gamefaqs me and gamesblow go way back. He's started working for Sony's sales department at their sandieago studio and that's the last I heard.

I know he is not the original gamesblow. This guy has admitted that before. I'm just saying the one on the PS Blog now and Silogon are the same person. Although it has been so long I forget who the real gamesblow is.

(edit)
@ butterfinger

Yeah, gamesblow was REALLY full of himself. I remember him trying to get his myspace blog stuff approved on N4G. He always talked about how he was the great gamesblow and all that. I always knew he was full of sh!t.

butterfinger - 544 days 14 hours ago

Does anyone remember when Gamesblow "confirmed" that In-Game XMB was coming out months ago? He said something like "Next week, In-Game XMB. It's already up and running." What a dumbass. It seems as though he thought he knew more than he actually did and now he is no more helpful than anyone of us.

@above - Gamesblow is pretty much a laughingstock now in my eyes, and I'd say the title is well-deserved:)

He was just as much correct as Sev is. Basically they're both full of sh*t.

Agree(5) | Disagree(2) | Report

butterfinger - 544 days 14 hours ago

is that Gamesblow was an arrogant a$$hole about the information he provided. He attacked other "insiders" and poked fun at their fans. Sev is generally well-mannered and tends to look at things on a more even keel. I just find it funny that Gamesblow is basically nothing now compared to what he was trying to be. "New Sony-backed website May 15th, no May 25th, no June 3rd!" lol. These "insiders" need to understand that their information is generally subject to change, and they need to be more humble in case it does. I always get a sense of attitude from whoelse when people don't believe his claims, and where is 2.4 now? We know the update is coming, and we know it will be soon. These dates are just frustrating in the end.

LinuxGuru - 544 days 14 hours ago

Whoa there Steinbach.....Sev is not full of sh*t.

He's the most level-headed person you could ever expect to meet in any form of gaming media.

I've only worked with him at playstationlifestyle.net for a very short time, but I'll tell you right now, Sev and his blog (pslifestyle) are anything BUT full of sh*t.

You can't possibly know him until you work with him.

ATLRoAcH - 544 days 14 hours ago

You can't compare gamesblow and Sev. Sev isn't an a$$hole like gamesblow. Sev is pretty straight up with you at least. He always stresses that his info is rumor until confirmed. I don't remember gamesblow's Myspace blog getting hits and mentions from other sites like Sev's site. Sev was also invited to E3 so I'd say he has surpassed gamesblow to a pretty far extent.

(edit)

@ butterfinger

Yeah he has always gotten under my skin on the Blog. The way he is a Sony fan but always hates on Sony is what made me think they were the same person. They both have that split personality/bipolar thing going on. They're just too similar. Oh and yeah, I can't help but laugh myself. It really is pretty funny.

butterfinger - 544 days 13 hours ago

I just read your original proof post about Silogon/Gamesblow, and I must admit I believe you are correct. Even the avatar is similar to what gamesblow had on N4G before, and both of them always bring up Uncharted on the PS3 like it is the greatest gift to gaming ever made. Gamesblow is a total joke now, and I truly can't help but laugh. The constant commenting on nearly every article is pretty similar to gamesblow's style on the blog as well. This kid truly has no life whatsoever.

Shadow Flare - 544 days 12 hours ago

What makes me think Silogon is Gamesblow is because he uses that same stupid avatar as him with that idiot Qbert thing, but i sort of think he may be that person who used to be on n4g called Lightning cos both Lightning and Silogon have serious bi-polar disorder. Im not even joking i really think they do have bi-polar disorder. One day silogon is trash talking the ps3 like a full out xbox fanboy, and the next day he has nothing but praise for the ps3 and cusses the 360 like a ps3 fanboy! Either way, it's on my ignore list. Oh yeah, and good to see a video walkthrough coming, that has to mean its close now.

Edit: Oh yeah, Sev is cool and produces good info which i find easily believable. Don't use Sev and that jackass gamesblow in the same sentance

Edit - Part Deux: @1.10, OK, Silogon is Gamesblow.

Posted in the wrong spot sorry for the mix up.

Anyways, No afraid not guys I am on that blog and you can see our exchanges if you would like but so far you all think I'm 20 different people and none of you are right.

That Games blow isn't even the real Games blow either by the way. We have been through it already. Check my IP address if you'd like. Doesn't Games blow still have an active account here? Check our IP's as I have told you all to do before. He is from California and I am from somewhere completley different all together on the map check my speed test results against his on the offical forums, even. He is over there too, only it isn't the real one either so I don't know which Games blow you all are trying to say I am but I am neither of any of them.

I live in Kansas city and came from the Neogaf forums and didn't know who Games blow was until I came here and people started saying I was the xbox equivalent to games blow.

I don't know what else to tell you people that will make you stop and realise just because someone new comes to this blog doesn't mean he is someone else. your conspiracy theories are a little out there.

As for my avatar and his being the same????? Really? Mine is The Rubix cube guy from my favorite childhood cartoon and Games Blow's is/was Qbert. Learn your facts before you send me to trial.

Also, do you think I would be stupid enough to post information cross website/forum/blog that is so closley matched up to Games blow's if I didn't want to be "CAUGHT" or what ever you all think I am trying to pull off here? I know the Games blow from the sony blog and we don't get along and all, simply check the burnout post to see proof of that. I am in there. I haven't liked that Games blow since the night of the late update to the Psn and he and his troll buddies were in there causing problems and they we all got kicked but him.

This update is going to be a big help when it comes to getting my friends rallied together to play either Call of Duty 4 or MGO, because right now communication is just very difficult via sending a message or making a phone call if their not already playing the game.

This will make PSN life a whole lot easier and change the face of the online gaming community for PS3 owners.

Looks like Sony is putting their best foot forward for this update.

SL1M DADDY - 544 days 10 hours ago

So true there bud. If Sony can offer it up for free, why not MS? Is it because without digging their fanbase for 50 bucks a year the gaming division of MS would be in dire need of some other help? Do they really need 50 bucks from everybody just to maintain a service that Sony is offering for free? Is charging for Live really helping the community or is it just fattening the wallets of the greedy folks at MS?

I guess I am of the opinion that if Sony can offer a great gaming service for free, then MS should do so too. That's just my opinion though.

Meh, if the PSP is anything to go by, the PS3 will never be "complete". The PSP is still getting new features all the time. The PS3 will probably be the same. Sony have been pretty good with system updates, they do actually add new functions that people may not have thought about.
