Amen, Brother!

You are playing on an overpriced console an overpriced overrated game with an overpriced gimmicky plastic wheel. Now some kid scratched your overpriced cheapo disc so you can’t play it any more.. Now you think you can return the scratched disc and get a new one (for some handling fee ofcourse) because for all that overpriced-ness you expect some SERVICE in return.. But nooooo, you get some kid on the phone telling you can order it for the price of 38 euro’s, that’s almost the same as a new one!
Nintendo, didn’t you make enough money on the zillionth port-o-iteration of Mario Kart already, did’t I pay you enough money to play it? Why can’t you simply send me a new game when I send you the scratched disc.
After completing most of the story Little Big Planet Levels, I just played the Red Bull Air race at Playstation Home..
It is a little bit disappointing how little information there is on this game..
First the way to enter is cheesy and than you have to discover the controls all by yourself (Right analog stick makes it faster!).
But after these headaches you can play the most addictive game in Home!

0:50:79… not bad for a pimpy programmer… only 3 secs slower than the fastest on the net.!!

What a f******* great game!.. You could easily have been misled by the “kiddy platformy” aura of this game.. But boy what was I wrong!
The level of detail and and photo-realistic feeling of the the playing world, not to mention the breathtaking physics engine… You have to play it for yourself, don’t take my word on it… This game got its AAA status at the moment it arrived at our home. Everyone in the family just want to play with it, single or co-op it is just absolutely PIMPY!
Playing with the new sony innovation: Home..

Just went to the US version of Home, after being at the “european” Home. Found out that the US version has a lot of extra stuff:
1. audio track playing (using votes to pick the next), nice!
2. outside Home locations: Far cry 2 and Uncharted (!!)
3. launchable games (like warhawk)
Grr.. and all those extra demo’s at the US version of the Store.. They even have a whole section for “Demos” in the store.
| [BEGIN FANBOYMODE] Aargh, I’m getting really mad at those folks at Microsoft, buying and buying every greedy game developer they can find…They can’t win with quality and a good console..Nooooo…. just buy out the third parties, lower the price of the console next to nothing, control the press, and keep bashing the competition…Why ?! Just because they can! yeah they already own the whole PC market, now they are going to own the game market too! “Soon everybody is buying our stuff, cuz we made everything exclusive!!, Resistance is futile!” And what about the gamepress? Pff that´s is a sad excuse for journalism. Not even a slightest remark about those cash flows going from Redmond towards big japanese game giants, who care less about platform loyalty. Well, I will not give in to the forced monopolism of M$. I rather play tic-tac-toe on my PS3 !!! Anyway speaking of the PS3, still a lot of great games heading to my home this winter!! Sony rulez!!

Aaah camping with my PS3. with enough time to finish GTA4, MGS4 , and that old StuntCar game!!… and afterwards watching flicks on your PSP in a comfy hammock…. With enough episodes on the PS3 HDD.. Not to sound like a FANBOY, but Sony thanks!
Still busy with some personal projects.. Thanks for your feedback!
:-( It was a sad day… Defeated by the russians, coached by the dutch Guus Hiddink.. Grrrrrrrrrr
And there was France, and there was another victory of our national soccer team.!!!
