BIG NEWS; FORUMS, TURNTABLE & OTHER THINGS!


Huge thanks to Viz for making our logo.
 
http://playstationhomies.forumotion.com/

Our forums are officially going up as of today, so sign up, make an intro thread and start posting. Now our site is still very new so don't be afraid not to post! Our site comes with its own chat so come visit us sometime. Also, us Admins / Mods are pretty lenient, and we'll let you get away with certain things most sites won't.

You have profiles, so you can add friends or foe friends. However I should warn you that if you foe someone they will be blocked from sending you messages as well. You can write on all of your friends walls and send them messages. ;D 

We have tons of categories and if we are lacking some or have too many we'll delete or add as we go. We'd love your input as well so don't be afraid to ask for anything. We have a debate zone area that allows members to say whatever freely as long as it doesn't get TOO bad. We don't mind a little drama, but won't tolerate cyber bullying or racism.

We're going to be having events and contests soon so be sure not to miss out on them! One of the contests we're currently setting up is giving away Lockwood Gift items so look out for that soon via our Twitter, Facebook or this blog on how to enter.   Again, let us know anything we need or have too much of. 


Tunrtable.fm is a social site where you can play your music for friends and chat, so when Viz suggested I should make one for PlayStation Homies I was like, "Sure, why not?" I honestly had no idea what turntable was, but fell in love with it. Before I go on I should warn you this is for U.S. ONLY.

There are 5 DJ Spots and you can play music if you are the DJ. You earn points when you're a DJ as well to unlock costumes. If you're a listener you can "lame" or "Awesome" the song. If someone gets enough "Lames" then the song skips and the DJ gets no points. If you "Awesome" a song the DJ gets 1 point and your little characters head bobs with the music. 

Anyway, I think this is perfect for our site and Home. Honestly, you won't see how fun this is until you sign up, so sign up and join us. This is our own room: http://turntable.fm/playstation_homies We'll let you know on the forums, Facebook or Twitter when we're holding events. Feel free to drop by whenever though. :)

Lastly, I started posting rewards from apartments, but I need to stop until I get the rest of these posts in order. All of our apartment tours are gonna be in slideshow form from now on. HOWEVER, I will have a link to our Flickr account of image stills, just in case you need or want a better look. I'm not gonna link you to all of our pictures, just the set to that apartment. I don't want it to be too confusing, you know? Annnnddd... that's pretty much it for now.

LittleBigPlanet Karting BETA


I can't even tell you how excited I was when I got this. :) So far it's proven to be amazing, but it has some quirks. Like you can't join friends online normally. The only way you can join friends is by playing the first level on the story level. From there you have to vote for a different level in order to stay connected. It freezes and does what LBP2 did when it first launched -- gets stuck on the loading screen. I didn't try the turning off controller trick though. The controls for me are fine when I play a story level, but when I play in the community levels, they lag!

The good thing about it? It is a lot like Mario Kart in a great way. You have VS mode, a rocket that can shoot the person in 1st, bombs etc. The only real difference is people being able to create their own maps and if you play LBP you've seen some of the amazing levels people have put out there.  


 

I did take pictures and the camera is a little different. I'm not sure if they're leaving that in there or not. To access it just hit start and you'll see the icon. It takes you this 3D-type screen which LBP doesn't do. It's cool at first, but then it becomes hard to take pictures. Hopefully they do fix that. 


The music on LBP always amazes me, they just have this way of picking amazing music and this game is no exception. They used Anamanaguchi this time around and I almost died when I heard the airbrushed remix. *-*   Totally had to post this because I love the art work even if there are boobs on it. Bwaha.

I think this game is gonna be my new addiction and it's also what PlayStation needed even if they are ripping off Nintendo, haha.

Intermission; Brainstorming!

Recently I've had the idea to take this blog deeper into the PlayStation Home community. I am now about to run this blog with 2 friends of mine and we're currently working on other things along with my boyfriend. Our goal is to fill what seems to be missing in the PSH community.

Well I've done well taking pictures of places on my own, I feel it's an amazing opportunity to spend time with my friends and get to know the community a little better. So stayed tuned everyone 'cause things are happening. :)
