Is there a feasible way to take a game console somewhere to use wifi to download huge amounts of GBs of games and patches? Like taking a ps4 to a internet cafe?

In my area the ISP companys suck. So i choose to just not have internet service for my house when i feel the need for say wifi i just use my cell phone as a hot spot. The phone has 15 gb cap for wifi hot spot and when needing to download big game patches and full digital games in the area of 100-200gb+ i sol. So what i do is just take the ps4 to a friends house and in 1 night update download like 30+ games woth of updates and patches. This has been find and dandy till the friends isp started charging a surcharge on each GB over a certian cap like 100 gb.

I pay just $11 more than normal for an unlimited data cap. (I'm paying for 1Gb/s speeds, and it's killer.)

Sometimes public libraries have great internet speeds, especially if you jack into their network via Ethernet. Hospitals too.

Outside of going to Starbucks with a portable monitor and relying on spotty 3mbps wifi that everyone else is using, yeah, your best bet is to go to an internet cafe, which given the times we're in, I doubt are even open. When I didn't have wifi, or I had the Comcast caps, I just dealt with it by picking one or two really big games a month to update/download. That was it.

That hot spot speed ain't going to help you cause you are just going to get like few mbps up and down. If you can't really get any decent ISP around your area then you might have to resort to 4G LTE Router.

You could invest in a car power inverter. That would basically allow you to plug your PS4 (and a display) into the cigarette lighter jack on your car. Then go wardriving and find some free public wifi to leech off of.

Make sure to keep the car running, you don't want your PS4 to run your car battery dead.

Many public libraries have free wifi you can use as well.

    @BigOnYa If you want to do rgh or 360 mod

    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
