Strolling around a space that hasn't changed much in the last 3 months; I ask myself - now what?
I've messed with people's heads, danced until my feet bled, tried on different clothes, played all the minigames, decorated and redecorated my house...and that's pretty much all you can do.
I honestly don't understand what all the hullaballoo was about. Now that the initial excitement is over, I realize there isn't actually all that much here to hold my attention. I sta...
..It don't matter either way; I'd still do her twice before breakfast, and at least once before lunch. Flaws are interesting as long as they aren't too prominent or numerous - gotta have a nice balance. Nobody wants complete reality in a game anyway.
And Violette has a very nice balance indeed. (Lara who? Bring on the 'real' babes!)
;p
Man...now I gotta start all over again. I was doing pretty good, too...
Might as well hang a colorful banner on the thing saying "Hacker Challenge - enter now, and tell your friends!"
lol
lmao @ xbox fanboys
Yep...looks like a pretty fair cross-section of XBL pre-pubescents in here. G'head, flame me. I wanna see just how many of you I'm avoiding by playing on PSN; I'll get a warm fuzzy feeling with every disagree.

The only reason the 360 is 'easier' to program for is because it isn't really a console - it's a PC dressed up like one.
So as far as programming for a genuine console goes, Wii is probably the easiest, with the PS3 next in line. Since we aren't comparing PCs to consoles, the 360 doesn't even get an honorable mention.
pwned! ^_^
In the release version of Home, your avatar will be assigned a certain amount of oxygen (shown in a handy meter above your head), which will deplete in real time - even when you're not logged in!
You will be required to pay for oxygen top-ups, or your avatar will choke and die; and you will not be able to log back on until you pay a reincarnation fee.
But it's still a free service.
..But Fallout 3 is another epic fail... Bethesda was kind enough to finally release an update and the damn thing still freezes my PS3.
..I'm reminded of comedian Tom Greene.
Jack Black is shameless, and I guess that's why people love him; but his humor is pure parody and absent of any genuine satirical depth. Perhaps that's why it gets old so quickly.
Exactly my sentiments. Excellent blog post.
Home is, in a single word: meh.
..Precisely what I expected. Now, if only they'd taken a hint from LBP and made the Home apartments something for the user to design instead of decorate...
@ no-spin:
..And I am unsatisfied with Sony in a number of different ways, though I still have love for my PS3. I waggle my bunny ears in protest (I'm wearing a pink bunny costume today - tomorrow I'll be a pirate).
^_^
I'm shocked. No, really, I am. <yawns>
I see the majority of comments on here are from people who probably haven't seen more than screenshots or articles. They're the ones being all apologetic for Sony and saying Home will be the best thing since the Playstation was first invented.
It's also easy to tell who actually has the closed beta - they're the ones basically saying "I'm underwhelmed; what is this crap?".
I've said it before, a...

Grow up. And while you're at it, learn how to read. The subject line said 'beta tester opinion', not 'expert analysis'. If you don't agree with my opinion, that's your business; but it's hardly an excuse to behave like douches. ..Not that trolls need one.
My main complaint was that I can't customize the house itself - just the furniture, which is what I meant by there being little in the way of customization. Forming a Running Man conga line lo...
Ouch. Expect little or no innovation from Sony for a while to come - they're busy with damage control from economic fallout.
Might mean Home will remain a more or less useless addition to the XMB...which sucks, considering its potential, but it might also mean that stupid PS3mote idea will stay on the drawing board where it belongs; so I can't say it's ALL bad news.
"Spanking a boy turns him into a little snot. Fear makes him a man."
They're lucky they're not my kids, or I'd put some goddamn fear into 'em. If they can't be punished under the law, then I say their parents should take their place. Gross negligence or some such - punishable by public flogging.
The customization of your Home space was one of the key selling points for me - and there's precious little of it. Home is also a monster download, so unless you've got a 100 gig drive installed, it's going to eat up most of your storage. I had to delete most of my downloaded games and even some game data just to make room for it on my 60 gig drive.
It's mildly interesting to hang out in a virtual space and make virtual friends, have conversations etc. but frankly: this is not ...
I hadn't realized that when I bought a PS3, I was joining the Conservative party...but there's the proof. Damn - I wanted to be with the Liberals.
I demand a port of Mass Effect as compensation for the lack of white cotton panties in my PS3 games. ^_^
I agree with you; mostly.
Sony should pick up AO games - it'd broaden their market share (which they aren't going to do trying to follow the Wii). They'd certainly have a large enough customer base...sex sells, no matter the format; and it'd do well enough in North America, I guarantee.
We sell porn magazines, and porn movies, even PC porn games. Obviously, there is a market for it - so is there some reason consoles are being excluded?
Blockbuster wo...
@ darkpower:
What conspiracy, exactly? Are 360 fanboys going to go out and spend $700+ on PS3s and copies of LBP just to mess it up online in some militant Metacritic-type attack?
..silly. Assuming that's what you mean. If there's any douchebaggery going on, it originates from certain PS3 owners and finishes in the hands of totalitarian Sony moderators.
Speaking of which, I'm going to go to Sony's blog and complain right now. Who's with me? Let's fl...
It's not bad - kinda like a blackberry keypad.
Takes some getting used to, and the punctuation is a little weird (not where u expect and requires the use of the shoulder buttons in odd ways) - counter-intuitive because it isn't set up like a normal keyboard in that respect.
Once you get comfortable with it, though, it makes a big difference in chat speed. Now I write things like "Man, that's a really cool echochrome shirt, where'd u get it?" and then stand around...
