annnnnd a trailer for the anime!

srsly, this game is retarded fun…and the soundtrack.. (err.. song track) it’s as epic as it gets.  it needs to be put into rock band hero music revolution for downloads!  the song , two hours later, is still stuck in muh head.

anyway, nostalgic bits : it instantly reminded of crimsonland, a game that i spent much time on several years back… for the lucky people that made it far enough, you were treated with this little homage to typing of the dead :

iPhone Jailbreak Pioneer Says He’s Hacked the PS3

Me no speakum hackese, but it sounds like the guy who gave us the iPhone jailbreak claims to have finally hacked the PlayStation 3.

Without specifying how (and explaining it to me would be like reading Siddhartha to a dog, in Klingon), George Hotz says he pulled it off after five weeks of work with “very simple hardware cleverly applied, and some not so simple software.”

I have read/write access to the entire system memory, and HV level access to the processor. In other words, I have hacked the PS3. The rest is just software. And reversing. I have a lot of reversing ahead of me, as I now have dumps of LV0 and LV1. I’ve also dumped the NAND without removing it or a modchip.

3 years, 2 months, 11 days … that’s a pretty secure system

Hotz says he’s not revealing his exploit yet. While it “isn’t really patchable … they can make implementations much harder.” Wonder if this portends a fast firmware update to snap it shut. That is, if it really has been hacked. But Hotz’s cred in this realm is pretty solid. Interesting.

looks fun, no?  check out the rest of the goodies here.
