When Home was first revealed, back in the ancient days of March 2007, one of the features heavily promoted was the ability to watch real-world content on in-game movie and television screens. Now, in the present days of November 2008, some of that is finally coming to fruition, as film marketing company PPC (Picture Production Company) has brought the latest Watchmen trailer to Home movie theaters. As PS3Fanboy reports, this is only the start of further cross-promotions between Watchmen and Home in the near future, as PPC promised "some very exciting movie related activity next month." Whether any of this will have anything to do with the recently announced game remains to be seen.
All this cross-promotional content comes along with the news that 100,000 new Home beta invites were sent out this week, along with the launch of Home beta v1.0 (via Eurogamer). As a Home community manager announced on the European forums, yet another large batch of invites is planned to be go out next Thursday, with an open beta "not far behind." After nearly two years of waiting, could it be that Home is finally nearing a true, full-blown release? Sure seems that way.

Posted by Susan Panico // Sr. Director, PlayStation Network
Early next week, we’ll be integrating additional community features into PlayStation.com. We are excited to roll-out the first phase, which includes the ability to sign-in to PlayStation.com and, soon after, PlayStation.Blog with your PlayStation Network ID. Of course, your PlayStation Network ID gets you access to all the good things on the PLAYSTATION 3 and PSP, including games, movies and TV shows on the PlayStation Store, online gaming, and, soon to come for PS3, PlayStation Home.
In addition, we are making enhancements to the gamer profile features. Your profile will include your PSN online ID, your avatar, and a short “about me” section. You’ll also be able to display your friends list and, on the game detail pages, you’ll be able to include ratings and reviews for all of your favorite games. These features were created so that you can make new friends, learn new tricks and tips, talk trash, offer advice, console the defeated, praise the winners, and more.
If you have an Underground account on PlayStation.com and haven’t already merged it with your PlayStation Network ID, click here to do so. If you don’t have an Underground account but would like to create a PlayStation Network account to participate in the new features on PlayStation.com, click here.
We decided to dissolve the PlayStation Underground program in order to provide more PlayStation fans with a glimpse into the PlayStation Network world via the web. We hope you enjoy this next step in the evolution of PlayStation.com.
Stay tuned; before this year is over we’ll have more enhancements for your gamer profile.
Be sure to check back on 12/11 when we announce the winners.**Note- Community Voting begins as soon as you publish your Level. Balance your entry by weighing the quality of the Level vs. time for community members to play and vote for your Level.
To Qualify: Levels must be received no later than 11:59am PST on December 9, 2008 (“Closing Date”). Limit one entry per person and valid PlayStation Network ID for the duration of the Challenge.
The action also scales based on how many players are on the team and how the team is performing. Players have lots of incentive to perform well, as good performance rewards players with more experience points, which fuels a leveling system that gives players better abilities over time. It also earns more "Gray Tech," a currency that is used to purchase new equipmentThe community-based features go beyond chatting, though. Players earn experience across the campaign, the competitive, and the co-operative play, all of which contribute to their overall status in the Resistance 2 community. Further character upgrades are unlocked as a player's overall experience level rises, and the entire system is integrated into the Resistance 2 website
This is a little late, but considering how many PlayStation 3 gamers have been looking forward to Insomniac Games‘ sequel, we wanted to bring it to you.
“Resistance 2″ continues the story of infected soldier Nathan Hale’s efforts to bring down the Chimera, a race spawned from a mysterious virus.
The sequel is bigger and more ambitious than Insomniac’s first outing into first-person-shooters, so we asked the guys at the studio to put together a list of ten things they want to make sure “Resistance 2″ players check out.
Insomniac Games’ Must-Do List For
“Resistance 2″
(PlayStation 3 First-Person-Shooter, November 2008)
#1 – Bring down the Leviathan
The Leviathan is a 300-foot tall Chimera stalking the city of Chicago. In order to reach the Chimeran base in the city, Lt. Nathan Hale must find a way to bring this creature down. Seeing the massive scale and size of the Leviathan should be a memorable moment for gamers.
#2 - Get a Batman (or girl) kill
While playing multiplayer in Chicago, it’s awesome to jump off a building ledge and stealthily kill the enemy with a melee attack from behind. The alleyways are your best friend for this.
#3 - Heal your buddies
In the co-op mode, a single medic supporting a large group of seven players can easily earn three times the amount of experience (XP) as anyone else. If your group is low on medics, switch over and start healing the group to get some massive amounts of XP.
#4 - Listen to a Henry Stillman radio broadcast
Throughout the game, you’ll find radios playing songs from the 1950s. You’ll also catch the occasional broadcast from Henry Stillman who’s holed up in Philadelphia broadcasting what he sees. These are some of [our] favorite moments in the game and really help illustrate the desperation of mankind is experiencing in the face of the Chimeran invasion.
#5 - Blow Everyone Up
In co-op and competitive, you can unlock a berserk called Overload. When you die, this allows you to blow up in a pretty terrific explosion. It’s really useful for the Soldier in co-op who’s low on health to take one for the team, but in competitive it’s deadly. The best folks at Insomniac are quite skilled at dropping into the middle of their rival squad and taking them out with one well-timed explosion.
#6 – Clear out a Grim Infestation
In “Resistance 2,” the Chimera use Spinners to cocoon humans. The mindless and savage Chimera that hatch from these cocoons are called Grims.They’ll rush the player in large numbers. In several occasions through the game, the Splicer — a gun that fires saw blades — can be found nearby. This allows you to fire saw blades which will cut off heads, arms and legs of charging Grims. These are some of the most satisfying moments in the game.
#7– Go Invisible
After dealing with the cloaking Chameleons in single-player, you can get revenge in co-op. The Spec Ops class unlocks an Invisibility berserk that allows you to easily sneak behind enemy lines. It’s pretty awesome to open fire on the Chimera from behind or trigger an important switch before they know what is happening. This berserk is also available in the multiplayer competitive modes. It’s particulary satisfying to gank your human opponents this way.
#8 - Mine a Chimeran teleporter
Playing the Spec Ops class in co-op, you’ll eventually unlock proximity mines. Nothing is better than laying as many as possible into a teleport beacon and then watching the Chimera explode into chunks as soon as they arrive. If done correctly, this can earn you a lot of XP.
#9 – It’s Called An Occupational Hazard
As in any great horror/alien invasion, you’ll find plenty of abandoned cars that can be used as cover. Of course, you can quickly teach your enemies in competitive multiplayer modes not to use those cars if you pump enough rounds into the vehicle to cause an explosion. If an exploding gas tank doesn’t get them, you may get lucky with the car crushing them on the rebound when it comes back down.
#10 – Create Your Combat Badge
On the newly re-launched MyResistance.Net, you can create a profile and check out all of your detailed stats from campaign, co-op and competitive. In addition, you can create a “combat badge,” which is essentially your baseball card in the Resistance community. As you progress through all three modes in the game, you unlock new icons you can put on the badge, giving you an extra incentive to pimp it out.

Group photo possible if all players are in front of one player, screen shots not yet 'enabled' but I can get pretty good shots of my LCD w/o flash. Then we switch out 'camera person' and get everyone in the shot(s) Silly, I know but that's who I am

Thought this was a pretty awesome shirt. I am now accepting donations to purchase, since I have spent all my extra money on alcohol and video games. For those who are not directly familiar with MC Escher, you can learn about him here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.C._Escher. Honestly, if you don't know who MC Escher is you should probably consider having one of your nearest loved ones impale you with a Chinese Officer's sword, drag you into the street, and shoot you repeatedly until your flesh has liquefied into a fine, misty pulp.

Perhaps some of you may be able to guide me in the right direction in regards to what is possible with these blog posts:
Embedded links do NOT work for me. I can do pictures, but no youtube vids, or anything else for that matter. All it shows is HTML code.
Youtube Example:
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sHzdsFiBbFc&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/sHzdsFiBbFc&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
Just so we're all clear, anything I post will probably not be game related. Just random bullshit that I come across day to day such as one-legged clown prostitution, etc. I'll try to keep it MA-17...and SWF.
Edit: Also, I do not see how to change what category the post goes into? I don't want to pollute other categories with my ramblings...
RFOM2 Online Rocks!
So which do you prefer, creating a game we all play in and let people Join or Jumping in on someone elses game?
