Guy is streaming his broken PS4(He broke it by unplugging his ps4 while downloading DCUO which had stopped loading), complains to customer support for 4 hours whilst simultaneously being trolled by the people in his stream(Internet and all that), Ign decides that this is worth posting an article about. Finally through the troubleshooting in that 99% troll comments section he takes his HDD out, tries to turn on his PS4, gets an error, but at least it boots. He then puts the HDD back in and everything work. Guy then proceeds to pat himself on the back for being better than Sony Customer Support.... Then proceeds to once again break the ps4 by trying to download DCUO again. He is currently trying to fix it again, doing things such as turning on the PS4 while the hardrive isn't screwed in, plugging in the hard drive while the system is running, failing at holding the power button the amount of time necessary to boot in safe mode, and much much more, all while ignoring the Twitch admin's good advice. Then he finally listens to good advice, gets it working again, turns it off(to standby) and now it's broken again. He's now in hissy fit mode, all the while constantly switching inputs between hdmi and cable while trying to fix it. Thar's your summary, have fun.


There's more but I don't feel like updating this post, just copy pasting.

Yeah, damage control, that's what it is...

Wait are you the guy streaming!?

Edit: I stopped watching a while ago and started watching Shus stream instead.

It sound like PS Fanboys crying that a Ps4 is broken and how it cant happen. Gen 1 consoles all have problems. The 360 was too hot, the Ps3 had the Yellow light of death. So yeah, a HDMI connection problem is entirely possible.

There is more:

He also got it working again after all that was about to Format the PS4 but instead of doing that to the HDD he listens to someone and restarts the PS4 and it stops working again. Repeat

Twitch troll or real?

luke_mathews:
I've been hearing a lot of inside "rumors" that Microsoft has been planning to sabotage the PS4 launch, and I *think* this is it. I've been watching the stream for hours and I heard/saw a lot of sketchy *** from those guys. They are working with Microsoft, there's no doubt about it. Anyone doubting my credibility can PM me.

Hopefully, since I'm buying a bundle.... it's a newer batch. You know.. because...

I know but you still have to go through the repair mill of joy. Ask for shipment, wait for it to be picked up, watch the tracking website and wait for it to return home. It can take up to 2 weeks if you are unlucky.

If this is true about Microsoft... They have fallen towards a new all time low.

What this guy has done is not a HDMI problem, it's a metal problem, the guy is a fucking idiot.

You DO NOT take out a HDD while there is power running through a device.

You DO NOT repeat that process again.

The guy is beyond help.

Guess we all are just fanboys though, eh? :p

If he is just trolling for views now which surely he gotta be. I refuse to believe anyone can be this incompetent and can still operate a computer. My mom is probably one of the most technologically challenged people I've ever met and even she could follow instruction if I teach her how to fix something electronic related.

"Hold the power button until you hear 2 beeps then let go!"


Sigh.. I'm going to go watch Shu play games and get off his channel. I'll check on this thread in the morning but I'm not going to feed the troll anymore.

if he is trolling then I I really hope his PS4 completely bricked out and Sony refuse to send him a replacement cause of user error.

He's just abusing that poor PS4 now.

He's NOT trying to fix in. He's trying to maximize the views, drag this out and get his channel on the map.

He's losing views. If he switched to playing the Ps4 a few hours back? Yeah maybe. He's not. He's been doing the same thing for hours and losing views.

What the hell, this guy sounds like an imbecile. How do you fix something and then proceed to screw it up each time you fix it? That doesn't even make any sense.

I'm out. Switching to yosp's stream. That guy is obviously a troll since he ignored my steps and offers to walk him through the exact steps via Skype.

I tried.

I'm starting to think this is MS related, what's the need to stream this for 10 hours unless it's to undermine the PS4 launch? If the console doesn't works that's it, just post it or whatever, but don't stream it for 10 hours.

There is a lot of fanboys yeah. The Playstation fanboys are yelling that the guy is a troll working for Microsoft, while the Microsoft fanboys and Nintendo fanboys are yelling that the Ps4 is awful.
It's like that everywhere on any topic. Fanboys come and try to justify there choice by defending it too hard.
