Beautiful Home celebrity

Nothing warms my hear more, or puts a spring in my step then seeing the Home support forums plastered with complaints. Let's have a look at some.

Great morning.

Recently the latest tacky, ugly item Home failed at has been getting some attention. Not just because they are the ugliest damn item you can buy short of the Burn Zombie Burn heads, but because they made no effort to make them racially universal. These are the horrid and grotesque Anime masks. Why they are called that is a mystery, because the look more like fucking aliens then any anime character. Get our your wallets suckers.

What makes these "racist" in some opinions is the complete lack of effort to allow them to change skin tone. You may have noticed most every item that has visible skin, if it's a head, or a torso, or a hand will change with the skin color. These will not. But is it just laziness or a simple lack of giving a shit about anyone with a brown tint? It does seem curious that the anime heads will in fact change hair color as you select it. I guess allowing curly, wavy hair textures to change color is easier then the dull, lifeless features of the face.

Who is to blame for this horror? All signs point to Home Hitler. (seen in this file photo with a member of the HCV planning to group report someone for dancing too close to them) Home Hitler, or HH, has been seen floating around Home, attempting to create a level of censorship, bigotry, and fascist control of it's users. When told that the Home Staff had already accomplished this, HH responded with "Es scheint, dass ich siebzig Jahren am Ende!" (Looks like I'm 70 years too late!)

The concept of these anime heads not shifting skin tone is a real kick in the face of the basement dwellers of North America, who have always believed in the purity and racial harmony of their glassy eyed japtoons. Because anyone who's watched any anime is aware there's no racial bigotry or stereotyping! Ask Mr Popo:

According to this awesome article:

PS3 Home, probably one of the most hyped features that Sony had to offers consumers who were considering, or regretting, buying a PS3.

Perhaps the most anticipated feature, for me at least, was the addition of trophies, the fabled trophy rooms, and the mythical trophy rewards. Sadly, besides the addition of trophies, none of this came into fruition.

You open Home, still having to look at that sad blue icon reading "Beta" on it. Then after an annoying amount of loading you enter your character customization, which might be the only fun part of the entire experience.

You check out some of the stores, only to find their wares limited, and costly. One could spend $100 without breaking a sweat to make your house and yourself presentable. Why not give us a few freebies? How much is a digital sofa or T-shirt really going to cost you if you give it out for free? Instead, you say forget the superfluous stuff, let me get to the real point of this...game isn't the right term...application? Go out into the main square, or the movie theater, or the bowling alley, or the few game specific rooms that are available, you are sure to be disappointed. There is simply nothing to do. There is no reward for "playing". The new Sodium Space is a step forward, but it is nowhere near enough to make Home worth even mentioning.

Overall, Home has been an incredible disappointment. We hardly hear of any upcoming news for it, and what we have right now is nowhere near entertaining. The question is, will Sony ever make an effort to correct the disaster that is Home?

Has anyone else noticed that the Ladies Naughty Bunny Ears are drastically deformed?

I'm not kidding. They look sorta okay from the front...

But if you spin your avatar around, the pink part of the ear - that should only be on the front - is on the BACK too!!!

How ridiculous is that?! Please tell me that this was just a simple texture mistake, and not that whoever designed this outfit seriously has no clue about rather basic rabbit anatomy. Otherwise that's just kinda sad... Did they never get to play with a bunny in elementary school? Were they never taken to a petting zoo as a kid? Were they really that neglected? Like I said, sad, just plain sad.

Anyway. I hope by posting this, it'll be brought to the attention of the Home head honchos, so that hopefully they can correct this rather ridiculous error. I, for one, will not be buying that outfit until it's corrected.
Well, and until some other rather silly aesthetic aspects of that costume are corrected, but that's another matter entirely... Honestly, even aside from the anatomical inaccuracies, I think the ears look like cheap knock-offs of the Neptune ears that are already for sale in the Mall. Take a look, side by side; Naughty Bunny Ears on the left, Neptune Bunny Ears on the right. The only difference is the anatomical deformity and a slightly smaller scale on the Naughty Bunny Ears. The coloring, the flop, all the same. Even down to the positioning on the head.

The point remains, are the creators of Home's clothing seriously that lacking in creativity? We've already seen them rip off Chanel & the stylist from 'The Devil Wears Prada' with the Paris Modern outfit, as well as Marilyn Vance, the costume designer from Pretty Woman whose classic red gown worn by Julia Roberts was completely ripped off by Home for their Paris Classic gown. Oh, but they didn't just stop at the gown, oh no, they took everything, right down to the white gloves and blue earrings!
But now, in addition to all that, Home is stooping so low as to knock off other items already for sale in Home!? Again, just. plain. sad. I've designed a plethora of bunny costumes, all of which I'd happily give to Sony (in exchange for a free copy, of course). But no, they keep relying on people lacking the creativity to come up with something as simple as bunny ears! Bunny ears that aren't cheap looking copies of ears that have already been made by another Home developer. They've copied other designers, and now they're copying themselves.

Of course, what am I saying? They've already done that before too! Anyone else notice that the $0.99 Ladies Hip-Wallet Jeans are an exact copy of the default ladies jeans, but with a fanny-pack thrown on top? And they actually think they can peddle the same exact jeans for a buck and get away with it, without anyone noticing? *sigh* Pathetic.

/rant. Hehe.

Good point, Heather, we can only hope someone takes note of these fucked up costumes that get pumped out on a regular basis and eventually takes more time to produce quality items.
