Hahahahahaha "Call Taco Bell..."

 

[WarrenMax007]

Wait for 2 BEEPS. NOT ONE. JESUS MAN.

 

[Barzul]

Okay this has got to be fake at this point right?

It's not, it's been going on too long for that. This guy is a special case. Anyone else would just give up and wait for the freaking box from Sony.

 

[DoubleTake]

At this point hes probably broken it beyond repair. This guy is a PC gamer?? I say the Master Race has been knocked down a couple pegs with this fiasco lmao

 

[DJ88]

I'm glad he's using the supplied HDMI cable instead of a known good HDMI cable.

All HDMI cables work the same. Either they do or they don't.

 

[Storm360]

Isn't switching inputs like that gonna prevent the console from hooking into the TV?

 

[DeerMan]

This guy sounds like BADGER from BREAKING BAD!!!!

lol

Reading our minds buddy, reading our minds.

 

[BitStyle]

Talking about calling Taco Bell again? Wow, these guys.

 

[Kraftwerk]

Why does the title of this thread keep changing?

It lives!

 

[ffdgh]

Pretty much.

When Sonos told him to put the PS4 up there so we could see the cords and he followed the instructions, it worked. The instructions are basic IT BS, do what we believe works, in order of execution.

Because we could see the cords it was clear that the HDMI cable was loose as fuck at one point. When told to reinsert it he couldn't, on cam, remove it, so he basically allowed the HDMI to connect, and the PS4 booted, just fine.

So far no one has told him to put the PS4 in view so we can see the steps he's taking. He could be a complete moron and embarrassed that he's unable to follow the instructions and that's why he doesn't want us to see what he's doing.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

The HDD is still out of the PS4, no?

This guy, holy shit.

The point is to force the Error screen so that the PS4 recognizes there's no drive. That's how he fixed it the first time. After that, you boot into Safe Mode WITH the HDD and format.

But that error screen isn't popping up anymore. I think the console's totally dead now.

 

[opticalmace]

Holy fuck, what is going on here? I checked last and this thread has 23 pages... now it has 52?!

 

[Chronoexe]

GUYS, I FIGURED OUT WHO THEY ARE

jaajajajaja perfect

 

[Gemüsepizza]

Why does he stop pressing the button after the first beep, maybe there comes another one? Maybe it's not a beep-beep, but a beep------------------beep?

 

[Atraveller]

who's sonos?

 

[WhoaIsThatMars]

hold down power. turns on then turns off after beep

hold down power again. two beeps...safe mode. this guys is either fucking stupid or trolling hard

 

[shem935]

So they are now trying to get it into safe mode? What the fuck have they been doing besides yanking the drive out while the console is on? I'm sure thats not fucking anything up.

 

[crash13]

What if the HDMI isn't plugged in... I mean we can't see it and he could be that stupid.

 

[DogMeat77]

hah I can't believe this is still going on. I left the stream after 5 minutes because I was starting to get a headache after watching him repeatedly fail at hearing 2 beeps. The headache is gone so I think I can now fully appreciate how amazing this is.

How I feel reading this thread and watching the stream:

 

[ignata]

"I'm going to check my Hotmail."

 

[kuppy]

let's get some music in here, this will help

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

"You should return it to Taco Bell. They'll ship you one overnight!"

LOL.

 

[vasametropolis]

Okay this has got to be fake at this point right?

I'm ready to call it fake if you are. Banderas has a better chance at showing up tomorrow than this guy being for real at this point. The fact that it's been "fixed" before means he's just fucking around.

Oh really?! Is this one working?


Also, that's a myth. Bad HDMI cables can lose signal and even have a snow effect.

 

[Riggs]

This guy sounds like BADGER from BREAKING BAD!!!!

lol

Holy shitttt it really does, I knew he sounded familiar. Wow , mind blown.

 

[W1SSY]

"We should atleast have some music going"
I think this song is appropriate.

 

[Donthizz#]

No seriously I need to sleep

 

[Twio]

Wait, his PS4 isn't working again? lololol

This guy. This fucking guy.

 

[feel]

Fake as fuck, annoying, trolling for attention.. yet I can't look away.

 

[Mr Moose]

Warranty void if dumb.

 

[georgc]

"Hotmail" it's over folks we can go home

 

[Vicros]

who's sonos?

A Twitch admin. He posted earlier in this thread. He's been doing God's work.

 

[Keyouta]

Did he turn off the chat?

 

[Animefreek]

"Kotaco"

 

[CorySchmitz]

"Kotako"

 

[RE_Player]

"The Kotakoo or whatever it's called."

 

[StoopKid]

lol kotaku

 

[QueenOfThorns]

Kataco

 

[EMT0]

Okay. I can't. Not anymore GAF, not anymore. Hope the servers are still alive tomorrow.

 

[Frumix]

"How much do you want to bet my stream is going to be on Kotaku"?
So that's why you're doing this to yourself

 

[Dark Ninja]

GUYS, I FIGURED OUT WHO THEY ARE

Im legit dying here

 

[Steel]

Holy fuck, what is going on here? I checked last and this thread has 23 pages... now it has 52?!

Guy is streaming his broken PS4(He broke it by unplugging his ps4 while downloading DCUO which had stopped loading), complains to customer support for 4 hours whilst simultaneously being trolled by the people in his stream(Internet and all that), Ign decides that this is worth posting an article about. Finally through the troubleshooting in that 99% troll comments section he takes his HDD out, tries to turn on his PS4, gets an error, but at least it boots. He then puts the HDD back in and everything work. Guy then proceeds to pat himself on the back for being better than Sony Customer Support.... Then proceeds to once again break the ps4 by trying to download DCUO again. He is currently trying to fix it again, doing things such as turning on the PS4 while the hardrive isn't screwed in, plugging in the hard drive while the system is running, failing at holding the power button the amount of time necessary to boot in safe mode, and much much more, all while ignoring the Twitch admin's good advice. Then he finally listens to good advice, gets it working again, turns it off(to standby) and now it's broken again. He's now in hissy fit mode. Thar's your summary, have fun.

There's a bit more to add now, but meh.
