Monsters' hoards are claimed, bought by corporate interests, and sold off to plunder funds long before the Heroes' Guild actually kills the beasts. Of course, that's a terrible arrangement for the Shadowkin; orcs, goblins, kobolds, and their ilk must apply for to become Noncombatant Paper Carriers to avoid being killed and looted by heroes.

Thread: MultiMAN on PS3 CFW questions

MultiMAN on PS3 CFW questions
Hi All,
First up great site, lots of info. Spot on. Secondly, I'm a complete n00b (so go a little easy on me)
I have a PS3 with a dead bluray drive so I thought I'd look at CFW and make it 'useable' again.
With help from this forum I did the following:
Installed OFW 3.55
Installed CFW 3.55 Kmeaw
Installed Multiman 2.00.1
Installed BDEMU2.pkg
Installed a game to xxxxHDD0\GAMES\BLUxxxx
Now, when I select the game in MultiMAN it hangs after the game splash screen at the loading icon.
I think I've tried all the options (Direct boot etc) I've also copied it over to a usb stick and tried it that way.
I'm a little bit stuck as what to do next.
Do I need a working bluray drive to make all this work? Any pointers as to what I may be doing wrong?
Any help greatly appreciated.
05-22-2011 #2
What game are you trying to boot?
05-22-2011 #3
What game have you tried , you may need to do eboot fix using the files you get with Multiman , you may need to try loading from multiman using select and x , or moving from external drive to internal drive all depends what game.
05-22-2011 #4
Thanks for the replies. I'm trying to load Family game night 3. It displays the EA logo and the hasbro splash screen then hangs.
Tried running it from direct and the APP folder. Tried the select + x boot too.
Can't decide if it just doesn't work or am I missing something simple?
05-22-2011 #5
Maybe bad copy , tried moving from internal to external or Vice versa.
05-22-2011 #6
I'm on internal, I'll copy it over now and report back - thanks
05-22-2011 #7
Not all games will work without an original Blu Ray Disc in the drive.
This topic has already been discussed before though...
You could also try to remarry the board to another Blu Ray Drive and get it working again, but that's a bit of effort:
05-22-2011 #8
Does the same from the USB drive too
I have a 'spare' drive so the remarry could be an option. Thanks for the link, I'll have a read up on it now.

People really take their waitresses seriously. They should come live in inner city Melbourne. The barista thinks the sun shines out of their @rse and the hipster waiters can barely muster the energy to talk to you if you dont have a full sleeve of tatts, cropped hair and an ipad. Pfft, a cranky waitress, that would be a dream.
shelle65 (13-09-2012),Stiflers Mom (13-09-2012)
Some people are good in customer service, some people aren't. I don't think I should have to be paying money to be treated badly.
I grew up in one of the trendiest cafe culture places there are, and my kids are a nightmare when out, and I have never been spoken to like that waitress spoke to OP. Oh they probably *****ed behind my back, sure, who wouldn't. But they never took it out on me. Which is why I go to those places and spend my money and leave tips and rave about how good particular places are.
At the end of the day, if you can't handle it,then you have no business working in that environment. I despised working in customer service, hated rude customers etc. So I got another job, that doesn't require dealing with customers. Easy.
I got personal, because someone got personal with me.
The service industry hasn't turned to shlt because one person snapped, it's because it has in general?! The only self entitled behaviour I see in this post was the waitress who CLEARLY didn't want to clean up after the children in this case!
Also, OP said that the waitress came over before she could do anything, so if she couldn't do it with a smile she should've asked someone else or left it for the time being!

Poor customer service from the waitress, no doubt.
I'm surprised that ppl are getting huffy about one person complaining about it TBH.
If the waitress was in a different industry, say childcare, and acted the way she did, I doubt there would be any sympathy for her. It would be a case of definitely complain and hope she gets sacked.
Why is any service industry different to any other?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using BubHub
Eugh what a cow. I would've spoken to the manager and complained.
In a perfect world, she should definitely be pulled up on it though, don't you think?
And surely you can see that she was out of line and in the wrong. The only reason I keep going over it is because you seem to not admit that she has any responsibility in the situation.
I have to say, I personally have never spoken to anyone while working in that way - unless they abuse me first. It is the one thing I can't help - if someone has a go at me, I will snap back. Which is why I don't work with customers anymore:-)
My kids are nightmares, I am the first to admit it, which is why I always ask for broom and I always sweep up and clean the table before I leave. It is a two way street, and that is just common courtesy.
Also - even though I lived in Cafes for most of my teens and 20's - I just don't take the kids anymore, I know it is unfair and too much to expect. We have been once in the last year, and we sat outside in winter so they couldn't trash the place;-)

Jung Woo-sung (born March 20, 1973) is a South Korean actor, director, producer and model. He is also the first Korean UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador. Jung started his career as a fashion model, rising to stardom and teenage cult figure status with the gangster movie Beat (1997), for which he received the Best New Actor award at the 17th Korean Association of Film Critics Awards. One of the top South Korean actors, he has received critical acclaim for his work in a wide range of genres; most notably A Moment to Remember, The Good, the Bad, the Weird and Cold Eyes.[1] [2]

1994–2003: Beginnings and Rising popularity[edit]
After first finding work as a model, Jung Woo-sung made his film debut in the 1994 movie The Fox with Nine Tails, together with Ko So-young.[3] For his first major TV drama role in Asphalt Man, he received Best New Actor award at SBS Drama Awards and at 32nd Baeksang Arts Awards.
Jung found widespread fame in Kim Sung-su's 1997 film Beat, in which he played a high school student who becomes caught up in gang life against his will. This movie started his rise to Korea's A-list actor and one of the most sought-after commercial model status. In the following years he portrayed a young boxer in City of the Rising Sun (1999), a naval lieutenant in Phantom: The Submarine, and a marathoner in Love.[3]
In 2001, Jung took on one of his most high-profile roles in Kim Sung-su's epic blockbuster Musa. Playing a long-haired slave, he acted opposite Chinese superstar Zhang Ziyi and received wide exposure abroad as well as in Korea. After spending time in 2002 directing a series of music videos and appearing in a large number of commercials, Jung took on the eccentric lead role in Mutt Boy, the fifth film by director Kwak Kyung-taek.[3]
2004–2010: Established screen image and Mainstream popularity[edit]
Jung's next roles would be in highly romantic roles that played off his established screen image. In the box office hit A Moment to Remember he played an architect whose wife (played by Son Ye-jin) is diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease and in the Netherlands-set Daisy, he played a hired assassin who falls in love with a street artist played by Jun Ji-hyun.[3] He portrayed a happily committed fireman in Sad Movie, and rekindled a romance with an old friend in A Good Rain Knows.[4][5][6]
Jung next starred in big-budget martial arts films The Restless and Reign of Assassins, the latter a collaboration with John Woo and Michelle Yeoh.[7]
Kim Jee-woon's "kimchi western" The Good, the Bad, the Weird inspired by Sergio Leone's work, would become one of Jung's most iconic roles, using his physicality to great effect as the Clint Eastwood counterpart in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. The film was screened out of competition at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival which also marked its world premiere. He won the Best Supporting Actor award at the 3rd Asian Film Awards and the Outstanding Achievement in Acting Award at the 2008 Hawaii International Film Festival for his performance. Shortly after Jung would work again with Kim Jee-woon on a short film for W Korea.[8]
2010–2012: Television comeback and Directorial works[edit]
In 2010, Jung returned to the small screen after 14 years' absence in the big-budget spy series Athena: Goddess of War, a spin-off to the 2009 highly successful KBS2 drama IRIS.[9] With a budget of ₩20 billion (US$17 million), the series was shot on location in Italy, New Zealand, Japan and the United States. The pilot episode gathered 22.8% of the audience share. Jung played an NTS (National Anti-Terror Service) agent. Jung and another actor were injured during filming in January 2011, causing a week's postponement of one of Athena's episodes. The series was also edited into a two-hour movie version, and released in 2011 as Athena: The Movie.
In 2011, it was announced that Jung was cast in the English-language 3D remake of John Woo's The Killer.[10] The film was to be shot in Los Angeles, and reunite him with A Moment to Remember director John H. Lee and Reign of Assassins director John Woo acting also as producer.[11] The project has been put on hold while John Woo works on another film.[12]
He made his Japanese drama debut with a guest appearance in episodes 6 and 7 of Good Life ~Arigatou, Papa. Sayonara~.[13]
Jung followed that with another TV series Padam Padam... The Sound of His and Her Heartbeats which marked the establishment of new cable broadcasting station jTBC. Jung said he "decided on this drama because (he) was drawn to the way Noh Hee-kyung writes 'family drama'. Whether mother-son or father-son, the love and pain experienced by families is something (he)'d like to try portraying in a realistic way".[14] He played a man who has recently been released from jail after serving a 16-year sentence for a crime he didn't commit.[15][16]
In 2012, Jung directed and starred in the promotional commercial for cable channel XTM.[17][18][19] He then directed another short film for Samsung Galaxy S4, with the theme "Meet a Life Companion." His short Love explored the feelings of first love, and recorded 1.8 million views on YouTube.[20] Jung would later direct another short film starring Choi Jin-hyuk for the project "Story of Me and S4".[21]
2013–Present: Critical acclaim[edit]
Jung drew praise in his first villain role in Cold Eyes, an action thriller that became a box office hit in 2013.[22][23][24][25] He portrayed the ruthless head of a criminal organization specializing in bank robbery, eluding the detectives chasing him with uncanny dexterity.[26]
In 2014, Jung along with Chinese actors Francis Ng and Chang Chen, directed three short films for Three Charmed Lives, an omnibus commissioned by the Hong Kong International Film Festival. Critics praised Jung's short The Killer Behind the Old Man as the strongest and most stylish entry. In it, a son hires an ultra-methodical hitman (played by Andy Choi) to assassinate his own father, but the killer however finds himself transfixed by the man's slow-moving and ordered life, and thus hesitates to carry through with his mission.[27][28] Jung was invited to present The Killer Behind the Old Man at the 9th London Korean Film Festival in November 2014.[29]
Jung next played a baduk player seeking revenge in The Divine Move,[30][31][32] followed by an adulterous university professor gradually losing his eyesight in Scarlet Innocence.[33][34] Scarlet Innocence had its world premiere at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival, meeting with positive reviews from critics.[35]
In 2015, Jung was cast in the Joseon-era monster movie Attack of the Strange Object.[36]
In 2016, he stars in the melodrama indie feature Don't Forget Me, a remake of the 2010 short film Remember O Goddess, both directed by Lee Yoon-jung. Jung had also co-produced this movie, explaining that he wanted to protect the director's original ideas that other producers wanted to modify.[37] He then starred in the noir crime thriller Asura: The City of Madness,[38] his fourth collaboration with director Kim Sung-su. Jung plays a detective who attempts to save his terminally ill wife while arresting a corrupt town mayor.[39] Asura premiered globally at the 41st Toronto Film Festival in September 2016, where it was shown in the Special Presentations section.[40] Jung won the Busan Film Critics Awards for Best Actor.
In 2017, Jung starred in Han Jae-rim's crime thriller The King, about a senior prosecutor being manipulated by an overambitious younger colleague connected to the mafia.[41] He was then cast in Steel Rain, playing a former agent from North Korea's intelligence bureau.
Other activities[edit]
UNHCR engagement[edit]
In May 2014, UNHCR Korea appointed Jung Woo-sung as its first celebrity supporter. He was officially nominated UNHCR National Goodwill Ambassador on June 17, 2015.[42] He went on his first UNHCR mission to Nepal in 2014. He then donated ₩50 million (US$46,000) to help victims of the April 25th earthquake. In 2015 he visited South Sudan and in the beginning of March 2016 he met with Syrian refugees in Lebanon.
Artist Company[edit]
In May 2016, Jung and actor Lee Jung-jae established and became CEOs of their entertainment label called the 'Artist Company'.[43]
Film festival jury member[edit]
Jung has attended various international film festivals, not only as an actor or director, but has served on the following festivals' juries:
- 2012: 17th Busan International Film Festival, South Korea
- 2013: 14th Jeonju International Film Festival, South Korea[44]
- 2015: SSFF & Asia (Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia), Japan[45]
- 2016: International Film Festival and Awards, Macao
Personal life[edit]
Jung grew up in Sadang-dong, then one of the poorest towns in Seoul.[46] He gave up studying to pursue his dream of becoming an actor, dropping out of high school after one year. It was controversial at the time that he did not conceal this fact but rather claimed that he did not regret his decision.[47]
He grew very tall already in primary school, his height causing him to constantly hunch.[48] Later, when trying to break into the film industry, he was told he was too tall to become an actor, so he started his career in modeling instead.
He is best friends with fellow actor Lee Jung-jae, whom he met while filming City of the Rising Sun. They are co-owners and co-investors of several businesses.[18][19]
The actor is notoriously private about his romantic involvements. The only one that he publicly acknowledged so far was his short-lived relationship with Athena co-star Lee Ji-ah. After they were photographed on a date in Paris,[49] Jung confirmed in March 2011 they were dating.[50][51][52] But after Lee's married and divorced past with top Korean singer-songwriter Seo Taiji became exposed to the public the following month, the Korean press reported in June that Jung and Lee had broken up.[53][54] Despite this and contrary to some other South Korean mega stars Jung's life remains untouched by any scandals and he is often praised by fellow filmmakers for his cooperativeness and willingness to help junior colleagues on the set.[55] He is known for picking up the tab when eating with his co-workers or ordering meals for the entire crew.[56]

Berlin - Wannsee: villas and agents
Explore the impressive villa districts in the southwest of Berlin. Take a look at the Heinrich von Kleist monument House of the Wannsee Conference…
BerlinSee all 513 tickets & tours

Tefeulsberg was the highlight of my trip to Berlin. A little far from centre of town but it does include a lovely 35 minute walk in some woods, well sign posted. The tour guide was really informative, really made the visit worth while. The graffiti is staggering and there is so much to explore.
This former cold war site is off the beaten track on the western fringes of Berlin. The stunning views, amazing streetart and the spooky atmosphere of the site itself is totally worth the journey. We went on a rainy day which just added to the entire experience. Have to go again to get to see even more of the artwork.
