Fathom Zero What the fuck ever. Home or Second Life, it's all stoopid.

I'm off to watch the Jerky Boys and play UT3.

Sam IT'S NOT A GAME, IT'S REAL MOTHERFURFUCKING LIFE
Nov 28th, 2008 11:10 PM
Chojin Yeah I don't know why I was so worked up over something I still don't give a shit about.

Also if you think Second Life is a game, you've clearly never run Second Life.

Nick My PS3 is lacking exclusive games that make me want to play it. I hate my PS3.
Nov 28th, 2008 12:22 PM
Fathom Zero Yes, actually. That's why I said it. Then again, they're all social-networking interfaces. But Second Life never crossed my mind.

And man, I was dumber than I thought a year and a half ago.
Nov 28th, 2008 05:05 AM
Chojin So your argument is that second life IS a game?
Nov 28th, 2008 04:10 AM
pac-man It's a minigame.
Nov 28th, 2008 03:42 AM
Fathom Zero But the thing is that it's not a game. It's basically Sony's NXE.

Or will be, rather.

WhiteRat This is probably the only time i'll ever agree with GW on anything.

Fathom Zero So I'm in the beta, and while the NDA isn't so strict, I don't want Sony to come and break my hands. That said, it's a subject-to-change "meh." There's still a lot of announced functionality that they haven't implemented yet, but when they do, it'll probably be righteous. I'm interested in seeing how they incorperate trophies and appliances.

But then, I just downloaded it two hours ago, so I dunno.

darkvare i prefer talking in games more than in stupid chats like that i can brag about something or bitch about it depending on the circumstances
Mar 12th, 2007 09:39 AM
the_dudefather agreed, littlebigplanet must be one of the greatest things coming to ps3 so far, this on the other hand, looks a bit crap.

LBP as now made me want to get a PS3 , and seeing as I can get one from the US with free shipping for over 200 USD less than its RRP here, the temptation to do so is rather high

MrAdventure it's pretty weird with the vibe of forced positivity a lot of people seem to have towards this announcement, kinda like getting school supplies for christmas (oh look it's a slide-rule with santa in a mortarboard on it). it's not necessarily a bad thing (hey it's, uh, something), but it's almost a painful opposite of what people really want. give that damn console some exclusive games that people actually give a shit about, for starters. i mean, really, when something like little big planet (which is probably what home should have been) steals the show it's a bit disappointing compared to what you expect of a company with such resources

GADZOOKS I remember back in the WINDOWS 3.1 ERA, Packard Bell released this GUI with their Windows 3.1 called the NAVIGATOR, and basically you had this very nice house with all icons and programs arranged in this house. YOU HAD THE GAMES ON A GAMES SHELF, your computer sat on a COMPUTER DESK. And you clicked on a globe for NETWORKING. And let's not forget e-mail, but after all the hubub of it all it just wasn't worth the trouble to have a virtual reality world and we decided to just stick with the normal windows interface.

Now I know this is an a lot more advanced and a lot more customizable then that, but I'm sure people will tire of this eventually.

Supafly345 360 kinda blends every single game into that though.
Mar 10th, 2007 04:53 PM
Zomboid Yeah, cause that's the same thing as internet access. 360 was the only system so far to do that, and then the ps3 comes out later on and does the exact same thing. It's not something you can really patent, but it's still quite obviously a rip off. I'm surprised it took so long to come out with something like that.
Mar 10th, 2007 04:51 PM
Fathom Zero Well here's an odd twist of events:

http://psp.ign.com/articles/771/771822p1.html

Sony intends to incorporate Home functions into the PSP.

Will it be full-fledged one day? The world may never know.

I assume that Sony and Nintendo and Microsoft copied the Dreamcast because they all made consoles that could access the internet, as well.

The thing is that there isn't anything wrong with taking the logical step forward that someone else has already taken in terms of content and technology. Otherwise there would be monopolies everywhere.


And as far as it wasting social lives away, DistantJ, I'm holding my fingers crossed for the City of Heroes/Villians' Team developing the superhero MMORPG for the Xbox 360 and/or PS3. They gots financial backing from Marvel, which is odd considering Marvel tried to sue them because of the likenesses and whatnot.
Mar 10th, 2007 04:10 PM
DistantJ It seems like a pretty good idea, though don't people do the same thing with online RPGs anyway, but have a purpose in them?

Quite a good idea, though I'd never use it, even if I had the money or the incentive to get a PS3. I prefer to go out and actually do the socializing for real.

Looks like this is the final nail in the coffin for some people's social lives!
Mar 9th, 2007 07:40 PM
Schimid That's funny, I remember doing the exact same thing in CokeMusic.
Mar 9th, 2007 07:01 PM
Chojin But there's the thing. The only people that can 'network' are people that have PREVIOUSLY AGREED AND CONSENTED TO SAID NETWORKING.

"Let's talk."
"Okay."
"No, not here. Over in that room."
"There's a lot of furniture in front of the door."
"It's okay, we're going to remove it later. Just climb over it."
"Okay, now that we're here, what did you want to talk about?"
"Dicks, mostly."
