poco-a-pocolypse

The slow death of the human race brought on by our own mass-consumerist philosophies and underlying disgust for ourselves and one another.

The cost of living grows ever higher, and yet the advent of universal survivalism has yet to dawn on us. I doubt our chances, now. Truly; this is the poco-a-pocolypse.

APOCOLYPS3

The day all phat PS3s around the world became self-aware and refused to log on to PSN, deleted trophy data, corrupted Stuff downloaded off PSN Store, and in some cases your save data.

"Holy ****, I thought this was just me. I got the 8001050F rror message just now when trying to play Tekken 6. Can't connect online, can't play any blu rays, and I can't even play my downloaded PSN classics. WTF is going on?!?!?! Is this a widespread problem? The odd thing is that I wasn't even connected to the internet, how could this happen if I wasn't connected to the PSN? It's the freaking APOCOLYPS3?!?!"
