Having joined Yahoo Answers in 2007, I've quickly become one of the top answerers in Canada for the PlayStation and Nintendo Wii sections, where I am currently ranked #7th and #8th. I currently operate my own business, and am considered to be an expert in the video game industry. I've also gathered quite a bit of experience in website hosting and design, as well as video game development, which I currently do part time as an indie developer. Based off of my Best Answer ratio, most of my answers and advice has been well received, with nearly every new answer I write being 'best'. If you ever require my help, you may contact me using the link above. (on my Y!A Profile Page). I will reply to every question I receive, assuming you provide me with some form of 'reply to' address. (normally, I'll use your Yahoo Answers profile to reply back, so be sure you allow people to message you) My name is Ty, and I'm here to help. :)

  • Grand Theft Auto 5 - Expected Download Times? (PSN store)?

    I preordered a copy of GTA 5 on the PSN store the other day, under the assumption that I would be able to preload the game before the 17th. However, with that recent leak going around, it looks rather unlikely that a preload will be possible.

    I've never actually downloaded a large PlayStation game from the Store before, so I am entirely clueless as to what download times I should expect for a game such as GTA 5.

    I was wondering if any of you would be able to provide me with a somewhat solid answer?

    My internet connection download speed is 60 Mbps, and the PS3 is on a wired connection. However, the PS3 is only ever able to download at 5 Mbps.

    Based on the speeds that I am getting, how long do you believe it would take me to download an 18GB game from the PSN store?

    Thanks.

  • Wii U constantly freezing - defective or firmware bug?

    I've had a Wii U since November 18th, and up until the most recent firmware update, the system has been working fairly well, with one instance where it froze.

    However, after the update, my system has been freezing up constantly, with roughly three freezes today alone. Each time, the system was trying to connect to some form of networked service, such as the Miiverse or COD multiplayer. I'm wondering if this could be a sign of a defective unit, or if it is just a harmless firmware bug?

    Has anyone else been having their systems freeze up? If so, then it's likely just a firmware issue.

    Seems to only happen when trying to access the internet.

    I hate unplugging the power cord every time it freezes, but there doesn't seem to be any viable alternatives.

  • What makes one person right, and the other person wrong?

    If the difference between being right or wrong is nothing more than a common social opinion, how can one truly claim that his or her opinions are truly correct, if he or she is doing nothing but agreeing with the general public?

    If one person believes in something so strongly, but another person does not, how can we determine who is right, and who is wrong? How did this social acceptance come into play?

  • Netflix streaming in SD quality?

    Network Information : 55 Mbps Download, 2 Mbps Upload

    Available Speeds (as of now) : 54.97 Mbps Download

    Netflix has been known to automatically detect network bandwidth, but lately, it has been doing a horrible job at doing so.

    I'm attempting to stream an HD movie through the Netflix PS3 client, and the quality is averaging Low / SD quality, rather than the usually expected Extra High / HD.

    I'm able to stream the same movie on the PC in HD quality.

    The PS3 is wired in to the modem directly, and, for whatever reason, has an average download speed of 5 Mbps. (network test) This has to be an issue with the PS3 itself, or possibly the Netflix client, and not my internet or network.

    However, the internet connection test has always shown a 5 Mbps download speed average on the PS3, so I assumed it was a limitation with the network card. Even so, I've never encountered any such problems with Netflix before, so, honestly, I'm clueless as to what the problem truly is, let alone how to fix it.

    Can anyone provide me with any kind of help, tips or even troubleshooting information?

    I'm always able to stream on my PC or my Xbox, but I have the wireless 7.1 headphones that are exclusive to the PS3, so I'd rather not stream on any other platform.

    Thanks.

  • Why do so many people refer to the 'big bang' theory as fact?

    It seems rather silly that our universe was created by a very big explosion, as there is just no way for us to truly know that kind of information.

    However, I'm more than willing to accept that concept, if it were to be definitely proven. What I just cannot understand, is why everyone instantly accepts and treats the theory as if it were an unquestionable fact.

  • Copyright infringement - Downloading Free Movies or Music In Canada?

    I've been searching the internet for an updated and reliable source, but have so far been unable to find one.

    I've always been told that it is legal to download copyrighted and/or pirated files using torrent websites, just as long as you do not contribute to the uploading process.

    From what I've been able to find on websites such as Wikipedia, downloading copyrighted music files is entirely legal for personal use, but not for resale or commercial use.

    However, I couldn't find any mention of other file types, and their legality.

    So my main question is; is it currently legal, as of January 1st 2012, to download copyrighted files off of the internet, specifically movie files and/or video games?

    Please provide some form of reference in your answer.

  • How much money are you willing to pay for website hosting & domain names?

    I've recently started up my own website hosting firm, and need some price suggestions.

    Up until now I've been using GoDaddy and other popular providers to get a basic pricing example, but I feel as if I should also get the opinion from you guys.

    How much money do you currently spend on website hosting (month) and domain hosting (year), or if you do not already have website or domain hosting, how much money do you think is the average price, and how much would you be willing to spend on website hosting or domain names?

    Also, please tell me which domain extension you're using. (.COM, .NET, .ORG, etc)
