Long time, no blog...

Ehhhh just being lazy :P Anyway, an update: Playstation Home now has expanded quite nicely. I DID get part of what I wanted from back in January. Resident Evil space has arrived and it's a fun experience except for one glaring error: no sound. At all. But the upshot is that despite no sound in that space and some rather crazy choices in music (an entire playlist of 50 Cent at one point and an entire playlist of ONE SONG at another time), the music Listen @ Home has fleshed out rather nicely (the music still doesn't travel far enough away from the set though :/ ). I really don't expect the Final Fantasy space to come until the game is released in North America which is apparently rumored to be released in early 2010. Which is fine with me.

There is also this thing that has been going on called Xi. It's a console Alternate Reality Game billed as the first one of it's kind. It started out as some weird code in PS Home and has now bloomed into a new space and apparently worldwide easter egg hunt for a woman named Jess. To say this is really interesting is a major understatement. :) More news shall be forthcoming.

In other news, a failed attempt at getting a modem driver to work correctly has resulted in having to reinstall BOTH operating systems (in one case 3x :( ). Well, that's not exactly the truth. The driver worked, it just totally borked Firefox. Grrrr..... Anyway onward and upward. :)

Now back to wrestling ...... :P

Not exactly tech related.....

Okay I just gotta gush right now: I LOVE Lands' End!! First of all, their stuff is totally great and now their customer service is the best I have ever seen :) . Wow! The rep literally picked up after like the 3rd ring. A real live breathing human being right from the start. Wow! No machine, no button pushing, no frustration! Wow! So everybody, go shop at Lands' End LOL

Playstation Home

For the record, I *love* Playstation Home and all the massive amounts of potential that it has. As it stands though, it's pretty good: You can play video games within the gaming center and in the Central Plaza, visit the Mall and purchase items and decorate you're personal space.

But I have four really top things that I would love to have placed within Home:
#1 More clothing for female avatars
There is just not enough of it in the Mall, I mean just FOUR shirts in the Diesel store when the boys get like 20 shirts and 5 pairs of pants?!?! Come on!!
#2 Do something with the Stuff store
For now, just putting the star section from the Furniture Store in the Stuff Store will do.
#3 More music please
I would really love to have a bigger selection of music than the 9 rap songs that are always in there.
#4 Final Fantasy and Resident Evil Spaces
I am a huge fan of these two video game series. I really want these two spaces in Home to hurry and come already but I do understand that this takes time.

Anyways, I can wait for all of this though. I can't wait to see what Home is gonna look like in a year when things really get rolling. :)
