The whole animal / username fad is so Q1 2000 (N)

Your point? My name is actually Jeremy Kyle if you must know. It does happen. He is isn't the only one with the name.

Oooh you're definitely the new Popisdead. Yayz! :D

I wonder how long you'll last here lol

Oh please this is not the whole Richard Hammond thing again is it?

Looks like it!

Maybe AB's dad will sign up this time :p

What? :/

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

What? :/

You don't remember someone making an account "AudioBoxer's Mum"? lol

It was banned pretty quickly.

We also had Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond is still around but he doesn't post in GH much anymore.

So can we talk about Home? Everytime I log on and see my friends in Home, I can't move to where they are. Is that not in the beta?

It's almost like we are in different servers...I can never find anyone.

[Black Flash]

You know it's getting to the point where I don't even want to post my opinion any more due to the fact my opinion will be challenged.

:laugh: Isn`t that called a debate? The server is more stable for me now, still getting the error messages but not nearly as much as yesterday.

The Art Of Quincying

http://www.joystiq.com/2008/12/12/how-to-p...aystation-home/

Co-workers, esteemed colleagues,

The time grows near when the Joystiq staff must choose the games which should be honored in our annual Top 10 list. I'm sure that you, like me, have had no small amount of difficulty separating the wheat from the chaff in what has proven to be a wheat-filled year. A Microsoft Word document currently sits minimized on my taskbar, where I attempted earlier this week to choose the greatest title which dropped in the past 365 days. I say "attempted," as I was unsuccessful in choosing just one game to hold this honor.

However, when I compiled this list, I hadn't yet entered the Home beta -- nor had I been introduced to the gameplay experience that would sweep me off my feet faster and harder than anything in any other 2008 title has before. What started out as a minor distraction in a fairly distraction-free virtual world has become an obsession. A calling. I speak, of course, of the timeless art of Quincying.

Rather than write out a length of wordy prose, I want to share with you the step-by-step instructions on how you can start Quincying the next time you log into Home.

Prep Work

* Create an attractive female avatar. This should not be very difficult.

* Create a "Quincy" -- the most unappealing, disfigured Elephantine man as you can possibly craft using the avatar creation tools. Again, this should not be difficult. My Quincy looks a bit like an alternate-universe version of Perez Hilton, but with a curly mustache and clear side-effects of methamphetamine abuse.

Setting the Trap

* As your attractive female avatar (AFA), go to a crowded area. The central hub is a great place to learn how to Quincy, as it is full of lonely suitors and needless dancing.

* Approach a lonely suitor.

* Don't just run up and start dancing. Strike up a conversation, ask where they're from. Get them interested.

* After cordial introductions, begin dancing with a suitor. Should other suitors begin to dance with and/or cat-call you, all the better -- but keep your focus on the original suitor.

* When you're positive you've got all the suitors' attention, and you're in the middle of a provacative dance, you're ready to go.

Springing the Trap

* The Art of Quincying is not just the action itself, but the build-up. If you've followed directions so far, you've probably got a nice following.

* Your Quincy can't just appear, you need to say something in the chat to hint at the fact that things are about to get very, very weird for any and all nearby suitors.

* Suggestions: Simply shout "IT'S A TRAP" or, when asked where you're from, answer "Your nightmares."

* As SOON as said message is transmitted, open up your wardrobe menu, and switch to your Quincy.

* Exit the menu as quickly as possible. If done correctly, your avatar will have continued its provocative dance, albeit with a new, horrifying appearance.

Aftershocks

* The typical male reaction to a well-executed quincying is an immediate ceasing of dancing, and a hasty retreat from the newly transformed Quincy.

* Occasionally, a suitor will stick around, laughing the experience off. This behaviour should be discouraged.

* Deliver said discouragement by changing back to your AFA, and resume dancing with the suitor.

* The loneliest suitors will continue their dance, though perhaps with a healthy amount of trepidation.

* Punish their persistence with a swift revert back to the Quincy.

* Repeat as needed.

BY FAR, EASILY THE MOST ENTERTAINING THING ON HOME TO DO! (Y) (Y). This is why Home was invented.

That's awesome hahaha

[Skulltrail-old]

I'm actually jealous! And I thought NXE was great...

[Guest]

lol, got to try that...

[Si_]

Ha, I can't even log in. Get past the eula, then when it gets to 'logging in' it just says the connection was lost. POS.

Guys, time for me to make a Hong-Kong account

UPDATE 2: If you download the Namco Arcade from the HONG KONG store not the JAPAN store the cabinets will be FUNCTIONAL from within your apartment... walk up to it and it launches you into the game full screen. Quit and it brings you back to Home. Guests need to have Namco Arcade on their own PS3 to play though.

Right now the arcade machines don't work in the clubhouse as they ask you for a code to redeem.

Just powered up my PSP today to get it onto 5.00 M33, and they really should be working on getting Home playable under remote play :yes:

Sure they are, it would make sense.

Especially with the new PSP3000's shipping with a built in microphone.

Any tips on creating a Hong Kong account? I've forgotten how I did the Jap one.

For Japan -

Should work ok? (Substitute Hong Kong obviously)

I'm gonna try creating one later.

better create it on site then just use in in PS3,

creating ID on ps3 is pain in behind to be honest.

Awesome I thought it had to be done on the PS3, I'll give it a go by doing it online.

(Hopefully it doesn't ask for email confirmation though, which it might because you're doing it online - If you do it through your PS3 you can enter anything for the email, even if it isn't valid because it never checks)

[FiB3R]

Just did it on the PS3. Very easy to do. Chose English as my language, so that made it a lot easer.

I went as far as to create a new Gmail account first using a proxy so it would be a .com address then pulled a Hong Kong street address from Google maps. :)

So should I uninstall namco museum first?

Not sure about that link that you posted kyro, seems to be for warranty registration, not a PSN account.

The Hong Kong version auto installed after it finished downloading. I started the Hong Kong version, and all the items I had won were missing (as expected). Checked the Jap version and they were still there. So I deleted the Jap version and started HOME. All the namco stuff I had put in my space was gone, but I still had my Dig Dug shirt on, and the stuff is still in my inventory.

Can confirm that this works, and the games are now playable :)

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Can't sign on again for the 3rd day in a row

/sigh

[FiB3R]

Shame its not integrated fully yet. It actually takes you out of HOME to play the games, and then as usual, you can't bloody sign back in for ages. Also seems like you can't win any items if you start the game from within HOME.

[Rappy Veteran]

I haven't even tried to get this yet, just keep coming back here to see the problems :p
