Wierdest darn thing I’ve ever seen …
I got tired of waiting for my system to update with Playstation*Home, so I signed into the PS3 internet browser and went to the PS3 Blog … At the bottom, where headlines flash by, I clicked on the one that says, "Home now available!" It took me to a blogpost about how I could … at this very minute … after reading the blogpost … restart my system and Home would be available in the PSNetwork blade of the menu.
Sure enough … It was necessary, this whole time, to visit the blog first?! Wth?
Well, 77MB later and a super fast install, I was ready to go!
So I downladed Home, created my character with the very, very, VERY limited items available and entered my Home … Very bland and uninteresting. Graphics-wise, beautiful … but boring. I can pick up and move furniture, rearrange my house, put stuff in and take stuff out (chairs, tables, a lamp and a footstool to start with, that’s all you get.) Oh, and you can change to 8 preset wallpapers. I’m not sure if each house is unique or they’re all corner balcony views of the ocean …
I went to visit another section of the community, ala Second Life but much easier to navigate. I went to the Mall, which required a wait time while an additional 32MB of data was downloaded. I’m assuming that each section requires additional downloads and the 77MB is simply your house and the character creator as well as interface … Lotta people walking around not knowing what the heck to do. I walked into a store to see about buying some furniture for my bland house. I click on decorations and wait about a minute for it to load the first time. There is 1 decoration available for download … a model fighter jet you can set on a table … I go to buy it and realize … wait a minute … this piece of digital property costs .49-cents! Yup, to put an image of a model fighter jet in my house, I have to pay Sony .49-cents. So I back out of that meny quickly and move on.
No other stores were open and the only video playing was Veronica Belmont and some other woman advertising Quore. There were a few advertisement boards scattered about for the new PS3 keypad. Other than that, I was bored and ready for bed. Tonight, I may check out the movie theater, lord knows how big a download I’ll have to wait for on that one …
Over all, as far as first impressions go … I’m disappointed, let down and disgruntled. This is the savior of the PS3? Hmm … Maybe Microsoft’s treatment of Silver players isn’t so bad after all … they do go for content over lavish looks, for the most part.
Saturday was a busy day for me. Usually I spend my Saturday mostly holded-up in the house and enjoying the peace and quiet that only being alone can bring. Instead, we slept in late (about 10-ish) and then hung around the house ‘til about 1PM. After getting cleaned up and dressed, we headed out to search for some “Dinosaur King” cards for Noah.
Dinosaur King is a kids show on the CW (4kidstv) that comes on Saturday’s. It’s basically a dinosaur version of Pokemon, as it involves these two teams of characters battling one another with dinosaurs. Anyways, the actual products are V E R Y H A R D to find. In fact, the cards are nowhere to be found around here. We did manage to find a dvd of the first few episodes at Barnes & Nobles, which is going to cost us $15 to have it ordered and shipped to the store. The cards and toys, however, can only be found on eBay, as far as I can tell, and most of them are imported from Japan.
Anyways, we visited Toys R Us, Target and had dinner at Steak n’ Shake (which was free because we went about 10 minutes without even being offered a drink after being seated. This was my wife’s doing as she is a bit tempermental when it comes to being waited on! I was okay with it, as with Steak n’ Shake, you’re going to be waiting awhile anyways. That’s just how they roll. Oh, and on a side note, I visited a hardcore comic book store to search for those cards I was talking about … awesome place that I could easily blow a few thousand dollars in … I believe it was called “Great Adventures,” in Murfreesboro on Thompson Lane, near the OnTarget shooting range.
Sunday, I won 3 eBay auctions for the pvc “Dinosaur King” toys I found on there. “Straight from New York, imported from Japan!” I went grocery shopping and hung the last strand of Christmas lights we needed for the house, condensed the extension cords and plugged everything up. Looks nice, but nothing fancy this year. Maybe next! I also had some “bush lights” that are net-like lights you drap across your shrubs. Unfortunately, our shrubs are now sticks … so I didn’t put those up. I also leveled my hunter in World of Warcraft to 80 and bought about 1,300 gold worth of crap that I didn’t need, breaking my toon and sending me off in search of more money.
Today, I went to Logans for lunch to grab a to-go order and ended up writing a note on my ticket explaining why I didn’t leave a tip. Hope that wasn’t too rude of me, but after waiting for 20 minutes (not to mention the 20 they said it would take when we called to get the order ready) they handed me the bag that had been sitting on the counter since I went in and had a seat. All this after telling me it was being gotten together. So I politely drew a line thru the tip section and left a note that said: “No tip because I had to wait too long on an order that was already bagged and sitting on the bar since I arrived.” Then I grabbed my bag and ran like hell.
Now, I’m waiting …
Tomorrow I go for the orientation for a new job I’m starting. It’s not a new-NEW job, but it’s a second job I plan on trying to keep for a few months, anyways. Things are slow at my current job and we’re not getting a full 40 hours each week. Not to mention the 2 weeks we’re hardly going to be working … So posts and online time are going to be at a minimum for the next few months. I hope to see y’all on the other side! Wish me luck.
I read on a forum somewhere that some folks are annoyed when people take the time to post nothing but a picture or video post on their personal blog. To those folks, I say, you’re missing the point. It’s my blog. If I want to make a post and write nothing, only posting a picture … that’s my business … you can take yours elsewhere. And to that, I present you with this …
