Podcast, People and Pro Evo (Now with Pictures)

I've had quite a few busy days recently.

Let's start with "Podcast", now officially called "Breaking the Rules". It's up now on the Breaking the Rules blog which is still in construction I might add. Check it out, it's available to stream or download. There are a few volume issues I need to work on, but it's only my first try at editing really. :P

"People". Playstation Home was released last week, and I had a go. Epic it was. To explain, basically I made my character and then I began wandering around "Home Square" with a friend from my friends list "TheIronEagle", and we stumbled upon some people dancing on the bridge over the pond. So we joined in. I started chatting to a couple of people, and we decided to stay on the bridge and keep dancing to get in everyone's way. This left four of us dancing on the bridge, and "TheIronEagle" put on some music through his headset for us to dance to. Eventually, some seven year old walked over and started calling us gay and emo?! We argued with him and told him to go away, but he persisted. So while he had gone away for a few minutes, my newly formed "Bridge Dance Group" and I formulated a plan. Follow him around everywhere. So we did. He was gone within 5 minutes and we celebrated. We then went everywhere as a group (still talking about Home XD) and spread the dance to everyone. We also encouraged people to line up and dance with us. Basically we started dancing in a single file line, and then we'd ask other people to join, so we'd have a pretty big line of people dancing. Here are some pictures, I'm the one with messy long hair and the white jumper.

That's me in the middle with two of the guys from my "Dance Group" XD.


This is the line that we made, everyone was "body popping".

That's enough of Home. Let's move on to Pro Evo. I bought the new edition (2009) on Friday and I haven't really had the chance to go on it, but I had a few matches against a friend called Aarron, and I won one of my games with the legendary South Korean team. They're legendary because Aarron and I usually play Exhibition Mode and click random to choose a team for us. Over the last couple of years it has chosen South Korea for me, who I usually win with because all the players are amazing at headers for some reason. They're just one of those teams that you can't beat unless you really focus and put your mind to it. Or pick Brazil. That has worked on previous Pro Evo games, but that's not the idea, it's supposed to be random teams.

Anyway, thanks for reading this massive post, don't forget to check out the podcast, it's a bit sketchy but definitely worth a listen. :D

Wow Craig that Dance story on Home sounds truly Epic! I seriously wish I could have seen it.

Will you using the dance story in your Interactive Day assignment?? (Hint, hint)

Apols for double post, but I can't comment on the podcast blog! How come?

Bob, it's not long until you will see something similar on Home, only a week and a half to go. I'll bring in Pro Evo and both of my controllers, I hope we get chance to play it!(*wink* *nudge*)

About the commenting problem, Nate has been looking into it, as you probably already know.

I took some videos of the dancing as well, it will be contributing to my assignment. ;D
