that is pretty shitty behaviour, but then, I never called out lulsec as being saints either!

I dunno, there's a lot they can do with the extra power- more particle effects, more sophisticated lighting and dynamic stuff like wind, AI and physics. Whilst I doubt the PS4 and 720 (lol) games launched initially will be a huge jump from this generation, I'm willing to bet that a year in they'll look phenomenal.
Hell if I know, I'm no hacker, but I'm sure they have their ways, evidenced by the twitter feed still being active.
You just know that Ryan would sit there resolute in his non-cooperation but fighting back the tears until a frustrated investigator slams his coffee against the wall and turns off the recorder as he preps for the unofficial interrogation! :P
I'm yet to see a single article perturbing to the stolen personal data being put to any nefarious use. If I'm incorrect here, please correct me, but right now it only looks like the organisation is showing vulnerabilities in the existing security.
you are quite right. I'm throwing in Lulsec with the rest of Anonymous here, perhaps unfairly. this entire string of responses is just my armchair observation and naval gazing.
I'm not saying lulsec isn't arrogant. They most certainly are.
these are valid points, and I'm certainly no fan of Lulsec. Perhaps I might even be attributing the work of other Hacktivists to them.
if lulsec has a pyramid power structure, which all things seem to indicate, chances are that Ryan never knew who lay in the echelons above him, or indeed how far up the pyramid he was. Interrogation only serves to compromise the people below him, all of which are easily replaced in such a structure.
it's seemingly quite an easy thing to do to anonymously set up an identity online... you can access twitter from a disposable phone, or cybercafe, or library, from a throwaway email account. It can be maintained through proxies that hide the IP of whoever updates it, and again, via portable means. It's no simple feat…
No I don't consider them good. There's a frustration to be found within their organisation. It's bewildering, by attacking games companies they seem to be pissing off the very people they could be garnering support from.
I've read through an in depth comparison of the two (in fact I looked at Th3J35t3r before Lulsec) and whilst I agree that he's been doing some good, I also see an element of extremism in his views that I cannot condone...
@afrotype: totally agree. also, I'll just leave this here :P
Last week I hated Lulsec. All I saw of them was what I'd seen here, that they had taken down a number of gaming sites, that they'd disrupted the PSN. All frustrating and annoying.
@LunarRoar: thats not a shame at all. This game is a must buy for me already, so I'd rather have no idea what kind of shenanigans I'll be getting into.
@ThePopesHat: see, that's why I prefer GTA as a franchise... around the time of GTA3 through to San Andreas I was in my teenage years where I didn't care so much for the narrative and enjoyed the ridiculous humour, but as I've grown up I've come to crave a more mature storyline and more downtime between the…
I'm never buying a phone again!*
@quintmyster007: lol, what the hell!?
depends how you look at it... on April 15th 1865 Lincoln used a time machine to jump to the year 3027 where he was immediately mauled to death by a cyberbear, this information was carried back to the present in the form of super-tachyons that relayed his eventual death to our top scientists (which, as we all know, is…
I'd rather watch the glorious gameplay of Battlefield 3 at a respectable framerate than watch plasticated turds drip down the screen at double the refresh rate...
