PSN Gets…Chainmail?

PS3Vault: 'Chainmail is something everybody either hates or should hate. It's pointless, it's stupid and it's just generally a waste of time. There are absolutely no upsides to chainmail, no matter how profusely it may promise that sending it to 10 people will guarantee you getting laid the following night, it doesn't happen. Believe us, we sent that to 100 people just to be sure, it didn't work.

I hate chainmail more than the majority of chainmail-hating people do. It preys on humanity's insecurities, such as the fear of small zombie children with long black hair and our slightly senseless paranoia when it comes to all things involving said demonic children (why do you think the Ring and the Grudge both terrify you?). Imagine the taste left in my mouth after I got such mail through my sanctuary from such things.

It was last week when I got a completely blank message on PSN with an image attached to it. This image included all of the ingredients that other chainmail is cooked up from; the 'pass on to your friends' message, the ridiculous explanation of why you must do this, and the manatory 'do not send to the bastard who sent it to you' post script. You can see the image below.'

Yeah i received two of those a few weeks ago..

Raoh6119d ago

LOL I got disagrees for receiving chain-mail?

lmfao only on N4G

Mindboggle6119d ago

The problem is N4G is full of Sony fanboys. You got the disagrees because some fanboys wont accept there is chainmail on their "Perfect" console. Its pathetic.

And yes I got that image a couple of days ago, and I sent it to all my friends..

Panthers6119d ago

I got this too, and deleted it. I dont care about some stupid little experiment.

DanSolo6119d ago

Yeah I got one of those, I fvcking hate those and the people that are stupid enough to send em!

Maddens Raiders6119d ago

"It was last week when I got a completely blank message on PSN with an image attached to it."

huh? how are you guys getting completely blank messages from (no one?)

a/w - My buddy ShadowFlare sent this to me weeks ago and it was no big deal. I don't really understand the outrage here. It's not like they're asking for your Social Security # or something. It's just kind of a gag.

valanceer6119d ago

I got this a while ago from a friend then sent it out to 40 people :D but it wasn't blank, said PASS IT ON lol

PLAYINB3YOND6119d ago

lol even PSN isn't safe from the chainmail gremlins!

MysticStrummer6119d ago

I will delete it along with the person who sent it to me.

Finalfantasykid6119d ago

Ya I got that lame message as well. Pretty stupid if you ask me. I just deleted the image immediately.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle18d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde25d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy25d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12525d ago (Edited 25d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga26d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199226d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga26d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman25d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger26d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box26d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion25d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7226d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7526d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit26d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14926d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7726d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
