The funny thing is, is this guy spams other forums to get people to his twitch channel. He never had many views. Now this. Wow. LOL

 

[Steel]

Can't he just reformat through the settings menu?

Yes.

Someone please tell this guy you need to be in SAFE MODE to format the HDD

The goal is to get the PS4 into Safe Mode.

SOMEONE PLEASE

PLS

MY HEAD HURTS AND I CAN'T STOP WATCHING

they aren't saying the keywords which is why. boot into safe mode. all he sees is restart

 

[Riggs]

This guy:

Ahhhh man

 

[rjinaz]

I can see the headlines now

"Guy with taco bell early ps4, console breaks, in the process of fixing it, breaks his 42 inch HDTV"

You left out "Electric Shock"

 

[MWS Natural]

This is greatest night of my life

Someone should post in the feed: GAF IS WATCHING.

[subrock]

I swear to fucking god, this is not the PS4s fault, its his fucking TV. You can see the UI for a split second every once in a while, he's just on the wrong input. (which is also probably the reason its not turning white)

 

[ThirtyPlus]

I am willing that PS4 to fall over with every ounce of my being.

 

[GreyWind]

Dead.

 

[enzo_gt]

"Why do I need to scroll up? I know what the steps are."

 

[PAULINK]

We're going to get this fixed guys


I remember when he said that, two hours ago.

 

[SlasherJPC]

This is greatest night of my life

 

[kurbaan]

GOD DAMN it i've spent the last 3 hours at work looking at this god damn stream. Thats it gotta go home CANT take more of this guy

 

[Passive Assassin]

aw. sub chat only :l

 

[ignata]

"We're going to get this fixed tonight, guys, and we're going to play some fun games!"

...and then everyone is going to stop watching.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Oh god, I think I have missed something amazing.

Can anyone please sum up wtf has been happening? :lol

 

[Bsigg12]

So what's going on now. I left after he had the choppy Knack stream going or are we on to someone new?

 

[Ghazi]

What happened to that pizza people supposedly ordered for him

 

[Vicros]

there are 5 thousand people wacthing this

why is there 5 thousand people watching this

Because this is currently the best thing on the internet.

 

[SpudBud]

Sony just needs to airlift tech support to this guy are something.

 

[Tunic]

Can't believe the number of people watching.

 

[FairXchange]

Can't he just reformat through the settings menu?

We're talking about a guy whose been messing around for over 5 hours while the proper solution (if there is one) would have taken roughly 10 minutes to accomplish.

I don't expect this guy to figure out the right sequence of actions to reformat his HDD and get his console working agin.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

This is greatest night of my life

Are you SURE you can't reach through the internet and somehow perma him, Bish?

Have you really tried?

 

[Steel]

How

How did this thread balloon to 87 88 pages

what on god's green earth is going on

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.

[cdkee]

Watching this guy

 

[Ya no]

im in tears

 

[BoboBrazil]

HE WAS SUPPOSED TO HOLD THE POWER BUTTON 7 SECONDS TO TURN BACK ON

 

[Codeblew]

I understand this guy is frustrated (if he isn't a master troll) but he doesn't have to act like an asshole to the guy trying to help him.

 

[aly]

This thread is amazing. Heck the whole day has been great. Bless you next gen launch.

 

[methane47]

Wait he's doing it again? I thought he already fixed it?

 

[FStop7]

The moment he gets it working a gigantic sinkhole is going to open and consume his entire house.

 

[Marc]

4:17am

Still cant stop watching

Fellow UK GAF'er? You been up all night watching this? Damn...


Btw, Sonos has the patience of a saint.

 

[Frumix]

Damn, I ain't reading through 90 pages.
Is this another legit break or did he purposefully sabotaged the system?
Is the cause faulty HDDs?

 

[EMT0]

Oh lord. This dude....is the greatest actor I've ever seen. There is no way this is a real person. No one can possibly be this stupid.

pls

 

[BronsonLee]

This is greatest night of my life

My faith in humanity is completely SHATTERED.

THE WRONG INPUT. AAAAAAARGH

I'm just going to assume Andy Kaufman reincarnated into this guy. The perfect solution.

The moment he gets it working a gigantic sinkhole is going to open and consume his entire house.

...ok this one would work too

 

[Goodacre0081]

Can't he just reformat through the settings menu?

yes but his logic is "I don't have a spot on my laptop for a HDD"

 

[NoTacos]

Yeah I can't believe he shut it off after it finally was outputting hdmi. This is so frustrating.

In his defense, he didn't want to turn it off the moderator told him to.


Then again, he wasn't going to reformat through the menu, pretty sure he doesn't know what reformatting is at this point.

 

[Deus Ex Machina]

God Damn

Breaks his PS4

Fixes it

Breaks his PS4

Takes HDD out while PS4 is still on

Gets PS4 working again

Breaks it again

SAD REALLY.

[plasmasd]

Some people on twitter have mentioned that MS paid this dude to do this. I just can't imagine anyone being this good at acting like an idiot.

I think this was covered in Tropic Thunder
