SONY BEGINS REISSUING PLAYSTATION NETWORK PASSWORDS
At least it’s nice that everything’s out in the open.

“All the passwords have to be random and unique. Otherwise it wouldn’t be secure.”
April 27th, 2011 on 5:05 pm
YOU’D BETTER BE MAKING A REGULAR HABIT OF THIS AGAIN, ZORG
April 27th, 2011 on 5:47 pm
It’s like we were never away!
I predict spiral updates within the week.
April 27th, 2011 on 6:58 pm
Please Zorg, never leave again.
April 27th, 2011 on 7:44 pm
All is right with the world, briefly.
April 27th, 2011 on 7:57 pm
The brighter days and longer evenings mean Zorg has come out of his winter dolor, but is perhaps too embarrassed after the outpouring of love and affection (from nearly 200 unique IPs!) to start the site up properly again, especially so soon. Plus he’s largely outgrown us. He loves phones now, like a fucking ‘normal’.
Despite not being affected by this PSN fuss (NEVER FORGET, NO SURRENDER, NEVER MOVE ON), I’m not ‘feeling’ the hilarity of the situation. It’s potentially very serious for a lot of people. As loathsome as the thought is, you may know or even be related to someone who owns a PS3. I’ve heard there are some Christian groups in America that can offer help. That was a joke about gayness.
And us strong willed, loyal, handsome, non-Playstation owners simply got lucky. It could hit XBox Live or Steam. Heaven forfend something like this happens to Amazon. Yeah, I said forfend.
April 28th, 2011 on 8:55 am
We still love you, Zorg, everything is forgiven.
Now how about having some fun with the PSP go having been cancelled?
April 28th, 2011 on 9:28 am
This is great – Zorg – you can keep riding this scooter for ages yet. Its kind of like a nerd soap opera – it just keeps getting worse for them, brilliant, you couldnt write this stuff!
April 28th, 2011 on 10:00 am
YES, FUCKING YES! I am complete once again. Also that picture is soon to be on my wall!
April 28th, 2011 on 2:50 pm
Can someone turn this into a wallpaper?
http://tinyurl.com/43k76hh
Also, welcome back.
I’m still trying to come to terms with the utter irony of you closing up shop and this happening on the back of Sega announcing that sonic Generations game thing.
It’s like they’re fucking with you.
The flipping DC2 will be announced by next Wednesday at this rate!
April 29th, 2011 on 2:43 pm
Q.15 I want my money back (subscription fee, content) since the PSN/Qriocity was not available.
When the full services are restored and the length of the outage is known, we will assess the correct course of action.
You’re going to flashy thing me aren’t you Sony?
April 29th, 2011 on 9:56 pm
Dick, you’re so right about the passing of the winter dolor. This isn’t the first time you’ve penetrated my psyche, either.
April 30th, 2011 on 2:52 am
Just checked back here on a whim. HOORAH! MORE POSTS!
April 30th, 2011 on 4:57 am
Fucking brilliant!
May 1st, 2011 on 7:49 am
Fuck, the sites back on. Have to try to think of amusing semi-ironic comments again that don’t involve saying cunt a lot.
May 1st, 2011 on 9:18 am
Can we all take turns penetrating you Zorg? I mean, it’s the least we can do for you after the amount of times you’ve penetrated us.
May 1st, 2011 on 8:34 pm
Zorg. This really has made my week. Please don’t go again.
May 1st, 2011 on 11:21 pm
Glad to see Zorg back in action. Now please realise that us UKR fans are happy with the occasional awesome update and don’t need daily shit updates to keep us coming back!
May 2nd, 2011 on 2:46 pm
The timing of all this coincides very conveniently with UK:R going into hiatus. Coincidence … or was all merely ruse to encourage Sony to let their down?
As we are back, might as well do an update on Sonic Generations.
Just seen extended gameplay video for it on NotUKResistance and am slightly giddy with excitement (and I’m not exaggerating in a sycophantic way because of the target audience, although I probably wouldn’t admit to being excited about it to normal people).
May 2nd, 2011 on 9:14 pm
Whats this? New posts? I knew there was a reason I didn’t delete this place from my Monday blog/comic tab…. well actually it’s probably because it usually takes half a year of dormancy before I can be bothered to edit my bookmarks.
But still… Yay!
May 2nd, 2011 on 9:15 pm
Though… not so yay for the people who are going to have to check all their CC records and go through the pita that is getting charges fixed and CC’s changed. That sucks!
May 3rd, 2011 on 4:51 am
RockinKat: I’d say it’s “karma” for selling out and getting a PS3 and would be all smug and gloaty, but they have now announced – in an apparently separate incident – that Sony Online Entertainment have been taken as well (all their MMO’s – Everquest, Star Wars Galaxies, PlanetSide, including the websites and forums are off line right now) – not that I’ve played any of those in over a year (more like 4+ years).
May 3rd, 2011 on 6:31 am
Keep on posting Zorg. I’m loving it. :P

Please don’t go away again, Zorg.
Here’s more to gloatwank over – http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-13256817
May 3rd, 2011 on 3:47 pm
Zorg, more shit has happened! MAKE A POST ABOUT IT
May 3rd, 2011 on 4:49 pm
Well, fuck. :(
Goodbye, Zorg. Again…
May 3rd, 2011 on 5:46 pm
Fangs for the memories….again.
May 3rd, 2011 on 6:23 pm
I remember the first time I visited UK:R, it wa… wait, didn’t I just do this?
Must have been cloudy in Scotland.
May 3rd, 2011 on 7:13 pm
I’m not leaving until the police arrive.
May 3rd, 2011 on 7:39 pm
I’m not going anywhere you cunt
May 3rd, 2011 on 11:24 pm
Cheers for the laughs, Zorg.

May 4th, 2011 on 2:08 pm
These last two posts have been like the Dreamcast – one daring last throw of the dice, shining brilliantly before burning out against a tide of stale shit flowing from Sony Corp.
May 4th, 2011 on 3:19 pm
Come on, Zorg, give us a write-up on the history of UK:R. How it started, why it started, why it ended, why during its best period most updates had no comments on them. Stuff such as those stuff.
We want to know how you transformed your life from Cornish horse-cock washer to reclusive millionaire homopop-loving, tech-retard.
If you don’t, no one will ever know. It deserves to be documented now that it’s ‘over over’ and not just ‘over’ over. UK:Resistance – An agonising romp through personal crises under the guise of video games journalism, by Commander Michael Zorg.
May 4th, 2011 on 8:46 pm
Just disabling the comments on the last ever post isn’t going to stop us, you know.
“The future for me and UK:Resistance, post-UK-blog-apocalypse? I’ll probably carry on updating it for free, for ever”
Having consulted some top lawyers I’m pretty sure that that’s legally binding.
May 6th, 2011 on 1:25 pm
It seems drawing a line over it did work, Trilby. :(
There’s always http://www.notukresistance.co.uk, which is continuing the legacy quite impressively. I’m sure it will continue to develop into its own thing, already has stuff UK:R didn’t (like regular updates and enthusiasm).
Where else are you going to see a Virtua Tennis 4 purchasing pictorial?
May 6th, 2011 on 1:58 pm
“The future for me and UK:Resistance, post-UK-blog-apocalypse? I’ll probably carry on updating it for free, for ever”
Maaaaaaaaan
May 6th, 2011 on 6:58 pm
I’m still going too, shouting into the void like a meths-addled tramp – http://gamingtheory.wordpress.com/
And I would like to add my support for NotUKResistance, which is shaping up to be most excellent on its own merits.

Commander, at least 150 people do as the unique page views jumped by 50 each day for 3 days on notukresistance after you posted the link.
May 12th, 2011 on 7:34 pm
I still here, it’s not worse then any other places updated daily
May 12th, 2011 on 7:57 pm
I didn’t even know about the Delicious bookmark page. I thought once the links went off the site they had disappeared into history. But then I only worked out what Winamp playlists were 2 weeks ago after using Winamp for 10 years.
May 12th, 2011 on 9:41 pm
Oooh, what’s Winamp? I’m still using WinPlay3.
May 13th, 2011 on 12:10 am
It’s probably something to do with these compact discs I’ve been hearing all about lately.

Commmpact disk? Is that a new type of floppy?
May 19th, 2011 on 1:46 pm
Sort of but it’s much better. There’s no size limitations and they can even run full motion video games (or FMV). It’s like you’re playing an interactive movie!
May 21st, 2011 on 11:41 pm
Wow, that sounds unbelievable! I wonder if SEGA will make like an interactive movie game where you protect scantily-clad girls from vampires while they’re having a slumber party?
May 27th, 2011 on 12:04 am
They already did, but you only got to play as the vampires. It was called INXS: Make My Video.
June 3rd, 2011 on 6:25 am
Just me, floppy and the crickets.
June 3rd, 2011 on 10:51 pm
Those aren’t crickets, that’s the dying applause of people who have been clapping for nearly 40 days.
June 3rd, 2011 on 11:28 pm
Clapping? Oh, yes. Clapping.
Certainly nothing to do with excitement/joy at Sony continuing to balls things up, oh no.
I think most of the ‘regulars’ are chucking salt about now.
June 4th, 2011 on 3:16 pm
Well, my hands are starting to blister now and the skin is peeling back in places.
Terr…I mean Lulzsec is keeping me full of lulz while they sail through the channels on Sony’s database.
Clapping is good, the clap not so much.
June 4th, 2011 on 3:18 pm
Also, my legs hurt and I’m starting to feel faint. I think it’s time to wind down the standing ovation everyone.

As the Dust Settles Forever.
What Could Have Been.
Many years have passed since my campus days. In the halcyon days of university before New Labour and Neo Conservatism stuffed it all up, some staff from PowerVR came to my university to speak to the newly graduated.
A presentation was given on the company, followed by drinks, nibbles and chatting.
They were, at the time, incredibly proud of their work on the graphics processor in the Dreamcast. They had even brought one with them and a plasma screen to demo it on. We all took turns at playing Soul Calibur.
We spent an awful lot of time admiring the intro animation.
By this point the PS2 was in full world-conquering flight and it was clear that the Dreamcast’s days were numbered, although we’d all enjoyed them like we would no others.
The designers present mourned the early passing of their greatest triumph.
One Memory Clings.
An engineer laments that their Sega counterparts ignored their pleas to include a DVD drive instead of the proprietary GD-ROM format.
Insisted, Pleaded, Begged and Cajoled.
Ignored, they consoled themselves with a job well done and watched their baby get steamrollered. In their minds there was no doubt. DVD had been the future and Sega had ignored it and how the opposition were riding that mass adoption wave to the history books. What could have been if Sega had listened? We can but Dream.
So my days on campus ended, markets and towers crashed, the sun set on Sega and the Blue Skies faded away.
This is how it always ends?
Ladies and Gentleman, I give you:
What Should Have Been.
Goodnight.
J.

Happy 20th Birthday Sonic!
Shame your new game’s not very good again, but you can’t have everything.
June 23rd, 2011 on 6:46 pm
I’m pretty sure he died aged 16 in 2006, after the mother of all stuck-on-the-scenery incidents.
The emergency services said he was wedged between that tree and the loop for 14 days, before they found his body. He’d eaten the leather uppers of his shoes but died of dehydration on around day 11.
The Sonic SEGA is flogging today is just a good cosplayer.
June 23rd, 2011 on 11:20 pm
I heard he broke through a scenery gap in the 3D section of Sonic Jam and just kept running. But I’ve also heard a version of the above story where his dried husk was extracted and is actually being worn by the current cosplayer.

A fitting summation of my feelings perusing UK:R over the years if ever I heard one Commander.

I don’t even know what Reddit is. Seems like all the cool kids and all the uncool kids are using it.
July 12th, 2011 on 10:13 am
3 people on Reddit dislike BitBroken
Anyone care to redress that for me? The page views from B3ta are dropping fast…
August 23rd, 2011 on 1:18 pm
I miss UK:R, I miss it hard.
August 23rd, 2011 on 4:31 pm
Me too. Still visit almost every day. Just in case…
August 24th, 2011 on 11:52 am
I also really wanted to share this with somebody:
“Priklopil appeared to have relied exclusively on a Commodore 64 as his computer, which is complicating the recovery of evidence due to its obsolescence in modern times.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfgang_Priklopil
August 24th, 2011 on 1:38 pm
I only just got my C64 emulator working and downloaded a copy of Caverns of Sillahc. It’s a game I played once in the school library back in 1986 on a borrowed computer. I had been looking for it for years but in my memory I had thought I was playing an Apple II, (because that’s all my school had at the time). All I could remember was that you could fly in all directions, it was in a cave, and their were some enemies that looked like light bulbs (turned out to be radar dishes). Everyone kept suggesting H.E.R.O.
Then today I found an issue of Zzap64 online and they gave Caverns of Sillahc 60% for Value for Money, 21% for Originality (because apparently it rips off Fort Apocalypse), and 49% for Hookability.
I don’t know about that… a game I played once – 25 years ago, then later spent 10 years trying to track it down… I’d say that the hookability was more like 85%.
September 23rd, 2011 on 12:17 am
It’s as if they’re trying to force Zorg into posting again
October 17th, 2011 on 7:20 pm
I really need to know what people really think about Sonic Generations. Tell us ZORG!!!
October 22nd, 2011 on 3:29 pm
I don’t have a working games console any more. If you need to know about the first six levels of Angry Birds, though, I might be able to help.
October 23rd, 2011 on 4:56 pm
Who need a working games console to judge a videogame?
December 26th, 2011 on 2:04 pm
No Christmas update. I’m starting to think this close down thing might be real.

Long may she un-reign.
