Your Search Questions Answered (Vol.2)

Monday, April 6th, 2009

I get all sorts of search terms that end up leading people to my blog, but sometimes the answers they’re looking for aren’t exactly here.  So I’ve pulled together some more questions that may be of use, following on from Vol.1.  In this edition, I’ve also mixed in some non-PS3 or gaming related queries as that’s what some people are searching for.

‘no fuss reviews’
Ah yes- this is a site that I love due to its simplicity.  No fuss reviews for games, summed up in one word.  I’ve added a feed of recent ‘no fuss reviews’ in the sidebar, and linked to the site under the links section.  Whilst not a definitive resource for reviews, it’ll at least provide a selection of reviewed games at-a-glance.

‘hd wallpapers of paramour’
Spelt wrong, but never mind.  You can find a small selection of HD wallpapers over here.

‘how long is the ps3 warranty’
Bought from any store brand-new you get a one year, standard warranty.  I’d buy the store’s extended warranty to be honest.  See my post: ‘An insight into how faulty PS3s are dealt with‘ for why I recommend this.  Better to be safe than sorry.

‘more tv points in other rooms’
You need to be a bit more specific here, chief.  Does anyone know what this user means?  Aerial sockets perhaps?

‘can go!cam talk to ps3?’
Unfortunately, no.  Not that I know of, anyway.  Sure it’d be cool, but then there’s the PlayStation Eye for the PS3 for the purpose of video capture etc.  Although, I have to admit, video streaming from the PSP to the PS3 would be pretty sweet!

‘race driver grid trophies’
Doesn’t look like it’s going to happen.  I know, Codemasters are being really mean on this point.  Boo.  Hiss.  I cover this topic in some detail in my blog post: ‘A golden opportunity for Codemasters‘.

‘nathan drake jack o neill’
What could possibly link these two chaps together?!  Similar personality or sense of humour, perhaps?  With regards to Nathan Drake, I’ve always thought he shares a lot in common with the actor Joe Flanigan.

‘myplaystationnetwork.com’
Sorry, this is a bit of wishful thinking.  This site doesn’t exist. I’ve checked, honest!  http://uk.playstation.com/psn/ is where it’s all happening.

‘go cam psp reviews’
Step right this way for a full, comprehensive review.

‘hayley williams septum’
Yup, I have it covered.

‘hayley williams nipple pierced’
Wouldn’t you like to know?  I think this is some more wishful thinking!

‘sony ps3 price drop 2009′
Hah!  We all wish this was true.  For my thoughts on this you can see ‘Four things Sony can do to turn the tide for the PS3 in 2009‘ and ‘Sony drops price on the wrong PlayStation‘.  On both posts I’ve made my opinion perfectly clear in this regard.  Whilst this is a PS3-centric blog, I don’t pull any punches when Sony need a good kick up the ass every now and then.  The optomist inside of me thinks there’ still time though; it could still happen (everyone cross your fingers though, for good measure!).

Your Search Questions Answered (Vol.1)

Saturday, December 27th, 2008

I get all sorts of search terms that end up leading people to my blog, but sometimes the answers they’re looking for aren’t exactly here.  So I’ve pulled together a selection of answerable questions that may be of use.

‘tips for race driver:grid’
I’ll only answer with regards to what I’m most experienced at, and that is muscle cars.  I’ve found that aggressive driving is the key, and if you time your braking right when going round even the trickiest corners, you can do some insane drifting whilst keeping your speed relatively high.  When it comes to some of the faster classes of cars, I find them to be uncontrollable!  Hope this helps.

‘eu.playstation.com/manuals’
This is quite weird- this URL search directing people here.  Actually entering this address redirects to http://uk.playstation.com/help-support/manuals/

However, if that page bamboozles you I have a number of short, useful links headed under ‘resources’ at the bottom-right of the page.

‘ps3 disk warranty’
I’ve found out what the deal is from the horse’s mouth- PLAYSTATION 3 Warranty Guidelines.  This is from the Australian/New Zealand site, but it mentions the UK and Ireland.  I’d say the general principles listed apply, but as always it is probably a good idea to contact the Sony care line.

That’s all folks- That’s all I want to cover for now, as most searches will take people to what they want to know.  I’ll add new posts to this series as and when such questions arise.  However if there’s something you want to know and it isn’t here, then you can reply to this post.  I’m usually very quick in replying (varies between a few minutes and a few hours).

A Blogging Tip

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

A Blogging Tip- If you check in the dashboard what people are searching for when they are arriving at your blog, ask yourself whether you’re providing enough info about that particular subject?  If not, write more about that subject (if that’s the area you cover).  This increases relevancy.
