"Like a one man human centipede"

I gotta check out of this carnival of stupid. I need sleep and this guy seems to be clearly in it for the attention.

I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS IS STILL HAPPENING...

Dude is now going HAM on everyone, apparently he needs to go to bed as well.
 
It is pretty obvious that he is doing this for the viewers. No one is this stupid.

I really dont like people who say "Nah he's faking, nobody is dumb like that." People are stupid. The moment you get an IT job or any information job, you learn really fast that people are stupid. Never doubt about how clueless people can be. You tell them to go on the first set of elevator, they will go to the second.
People will forget to plug the computer in the wall. People will put goddamn coffee in the CD Drive. People do click on "You won 1000000$". The Nigerian scam got millions of dollars scammed last year.

So yeah. People are dumb. I have no reason to doubt this guy.
 
Well if it's this much trouble just to turn on your PS4, looks like I'll be skipping the next generation.

Can anyone confirm if Xbone has this issue? Might put in a pre-order.
 
Jason Schreier where are you? I fully expect an article tomorrow with interview detailing the horrendous ordeal!

The satire could be amazing.
 
Writing this again, with more clarification.

Look. This is a comedy of errors. People are thinking that two beeps is the key. It's NOT!

Look at the first post of this thread:

There's instructions there on how to get into safe mode.

Note that it says the two beep thing is ONLY for IF the light is ORANGE.

So what he needs to do is this:

1) STOP FUCKING SWITCHING INPUTS

2) Plug the PS4's HDMI into HDMI Input 2

3) Set the TV to HDMI2. The reason why I say HDMI2 for the input is so we are using a completely different input for certain and to check the connection chain properly.

4) Make sure the PS4 does NOT have the hard drive plugged in and that the PS4 is completely turned off.

5) Now Unplug the power from the system. JUST TO MAKE SURE IT'S OFF.

6) Plug the power into the system. DO NOT ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE FUCKING POWER BUTTON.

7) Now, Touch the power button lightly on the PS4 and hold it in for 7 seconds UNTIL IT BEEPS. Hopefully this will put it into safe mode. DO NOT SWITCH INPUTS WHILE IT'S DOING THIS. The system has to do handshaking with the TV.

Have the mods give me chat abilities on Twitch! Schrade_bofh is the nick
 
I've been waiting the whole stream for this moment, he's starting to meltdown.

While it's hard to admit, he just has to ship it to Sony and hope for the best for now.

I feel there's a point you're trying to make here.

Oh god no. I'm just saying this guy seems like an idiot. I admit I'm an idiot when it comes to PC gaming, so I guess what I'm saying is that if this guy is having so much trouble with a console, I can't imagine he's a hardcore PC gamer. Really, no offense Bish. I'm just admitting I'm an idiot when it comes to PC gaming, but I think I could manage a console. That's the point I was trying to make.
 
If i were given a broken ps4, i would sit there and wait for the box from customer support that is already on its way, as opposed to fucking it up even more so it either takes longer to repair, or voids warranty lol.

Quoting for visibility and because I agree.

And most importantly, STOP FUCKING AROUND WITH THE INPUTS.
 
So it bricked when he tried to download DCUO again? When I shut down he had attempted to stream Knack and said he was going to try the download again.

Thats exactly when it died....for some reason he had 2 DCUO downloads going concurrently, and he left them and his PS4 just shut off by itself. Then, he tries to do the fix he did before but pulled the HD out without turning power off, now it won't go into safemode boot.
