PS3gamer Charity Parachute Jump

para

As you may know I have been raising funds for my favorite charity - the MS Society - for a few months now. In order to boost donations I have foolishly decided to throw myself from a perfectly good aircraft in order to get further sponsorship towards my ultimate target of £500. If you would like to support me and my foolish endeavor please visit my Justgiving page HERE. All donations, big or small, will be appreciated.

  • Why no site update?

    Firstly I must apologise for not posting since last week. There are a few reasons for this: this is a one man operation, just me - so if I don`t post anything, nothing gets posted. You may or may not be aware that I suffer with MS and have not felt too good recently. An added health problem I won`t go into has kept my mind occupied for the past week - hence why I have neglecting things here. The other reason is my host changed some settings server side and I was unable to alter the database, meaning it wouldn’t let me post on my own blog :)

    Thankfully the last reason has now been sorted and I`m feeling somewhat better, so expect me back in the saddle and with my finger on the pulse of all that is PS3

  • PS3gamer goes multilingual

    Multilingual
    Having recently checked this site`s stats I was staggered to see how often it has been linked to from other countries, especially France. As such I thought I would make it a bit easier to be understood in other languages and, while I cannot vouch for the accuracy, I have installed a translator plug-in which uses the Google translation service - this is accessed by clicking on the relevant flag. Welcome!

  • If you read my previous post regarding the soon to be released Warhawk update 1.5, you will know that Incognito are including the winning paintjob and insignia designs from the recent European competition - which I reported here back in May.

    I am dead pleased to inform you that I have had all 3 of my insignia designs included! These are the winning designs:

    The first design on the second row down is mine, the monkey. On the bottom row the fifth and sixth designs are mine also, the dragon and the lizard!

    Here are the winning paintjobs:

    All winners not only get to have their designs featured in-game in the 1.5 update, but also receive a limited edition Warhawk Statue

  • PS3gamer on holiday!

    I have arrived in Penzance, Cornwall for a two week break. Internet access is quite limited, even with my Orange `Dongle` thingy as 3G seems quite unheard of where I am staying - so any articles I publish over the next fortnight may be quite small and unembellished with pictures and video - we shall see how frustrating it becomes.

  • Site Improvements

    thumbs-up

    Following recent downtime with our hosts PS3gamer has also undergone a few changes in order to greatly decrease loading times. I have altered things both cosmetically and behind the scenes - several features such as the Events Calendar and the New Releases page have been removed as they slowed the site down. I have employed a new plugin called Super-Cache which also does a great job of increasing speed. The only slight problem with this plugin is you won`t notice any speed increase if you are logged into the site - simply log out and you should notice a sizeable difference when navigating the site and reading articles.

    Thank you for your patience.

  • Apologies

    You may have noticed I have not updated this blog much lately, this provided you can actually load the page: the reason for this is our host, Cirtex Hosting have been experiencing problems with the server this site is hosted on. They are currently making changes their end which should solve the problem. Fingers crossed everything will be back to normal next week.
