Epic sausage party: PlayStation Home invaded by rowdy males

Posted Dec 15, 2008 at 5:13AM EST by QJ Staff

Ó

Looks like epic dance-offs are on a whole new level now. Maybe you've seen 'em. Maybe you've joined in too. With PlayStation Home going open beta, a lot of reports are now coming in (and I for one can confirm this first-hand too) about some rowdy males trying to get a little something-something out of Home.

If you've dropped by the plaza, you've probably come across a familiar site in front of the jukebox booth: a crowd of Home avatars dropping Running Mans and Cabbage Patches like it's hot. Much to say, the center of attention seems to be some one or two females, with guys dancing all around them and chatting it up. (Typical Saturday night at the club, ya?)

Here's an example:



It may seem like fun, but of course, the innocent female crowd may find it offensive. Some may actually see it as pathetic and immature.

Oh, and for the record, our qjdotnet Home avatar is actually female (thanks, Mabie!). And just yesterday, I had a bunch of guys flirting with me. *facepalm* Lesson learned: not only is it important to exhibit proper decorum in front of females in Home, but at the very least, you might want to make sure that whoever is controlling that female avatar is in fact female in real life.

Is boring so a boring article fits it well. The bowling is boring, the pool is boring, the mall is stupid ( how big of a douche do they think we are that we will spend money on Home clothes). One thing Sony does good is hype up garbage like Home and LBP. those are the two biggest let downs of 2008.

I don't use playstation Home =) but i do play Nazi zombie online, because im a gamer. and wandering around a virtual world dancing is not gaming . . its boring and thats my opinion. so deal with it

# Because Home sucks balls.yworob 2008-12-15 07:43
There is nothing to do in Home. Thats why people have resorted to talking s*** and annoying one another because there is nothing interesting to do in Home. The few meager activities are boring and you have to wait in line to do any of them. Plus spending money on virtual crap is just stupid.

ps3fanboy a lot less biased? ha.



and i suppose writing about the PS3 from the standpoint of liking and gushing over everything ps3 is NOT biased? hahaha. you're funny.

I pity the people who gave yworob's comment that many stars. All he is is just an ignorant jerk expecting a lot out of a free game/sim and has nothing more to do than rant about it like a 12-year-old child entering high-school.

Ps3fanboy is just like Qj. It has sections for Apple , Ds , xbox , ps3 and so fourth . Xbots, sonbots and wiiboys are less likely to troll and the environment is fresh and NEW ... We're on holidays and yet they have every story covered .



So um, pick your fights wisely next time son .

come on now, QJ. got anything NOT obvious to report? anyone who even thinks about home for a second or two could have guessed that this would be the case. guys play video games. they like girls. 1+1=2

Calling someone an ignorant jerk and talking s*** about them is more immature than anything I said because I was just commenting on the lack of things to do in Home. I am sorry that I dont automatically praise everything that Sony comes out with like you do but thats because I am not a fanboy. Even though Home is free, its still pretty lame. Sony is just trying to get you to buy virtual crap and to watch advertisements that they make money off of. Hopefully the real Home will be better but at this point if your going to say that Home is great then your just a fanboy.

This isn't anything new. Idiots have been doing this since the Closed Beta. These dumbasses see a female avatar and instantly assume it's an actual female that's their age and lives close to them, and is attractive. It's quite sad really.



This isn't really new at all on the net. Many sexually-deprived douches will login to many internet apps and do this. That's it. Nothing you can do about it.



Women will be stalked, harassed and belittled. All you can do is report them and block them.

tsktsk. whatever. i grow weary of arguing with fanboys like you. but if i have to...



i'm fine with qj, and ok, you're not. true, they don't have every story covered, but from what i see, it's only because they're focusing on psp and ps3 stuff. that setup suits me well. this is the environment i feel comfy in. i have my preferences in what i want to read. you have yours. i don't like how xboxfanboy and ps3fanboy and [insert platform here]fanboy reports their news. because i think they're biased. they're writing from a fanboy perspective, and i think that's quite too much. you don't need to be a fanboy to appreciate what's hot or what not. you don't have to be gushing about it the whole time.



so go back to your [insert platform here]fanboy blogs. i'm fine with qj. i don't want to read ps3fanboy or whatever, i'd rather go to ign. - yes, i said it!



now. with all that said, i think this argument is quickly approaching the whole "coke is better than pepsi or vice versa" debate, and it's one which i will not partake in.





oh. btw, i think you meant to spell it out as "forth". not "fourth". LOL "sections for Apple , Ds , xbox , ps3 and so fourth."



and for you to spam the comments section with a long series of paragraph breaks just to say "PS:hahaha. you're funny."? sorry, but that's not funny.

# WTF?...FatTrousers 2008-12-15 12:48
Why the hell has this even been posted on QJ?? This is NOT news worthy, it happens everywhere. As soon as a gamer mentions they're female every guy in the game (except the ones with decency and a life) jumps on them as if rape had just been legalised. It's pathetic, but very funny to dress-up as a girl and wind up other guys....





In Home i mean....

As a side note can QJ please stop referring to the US home as just"Home". It has been noted many times before.....All the central plaza's are different!!! the EU one isn't even called the "Central Plaza" it's "Home Square" so if you're gonna do a news story on home, albeit a pointless one, atleast be correct about it and specify which one...This is an INTERNATIONAL site after all..... -_-

# Idiot...FatTrousers 2008-12-15 13:04
yworob you are an idiot, sorry but it's true. So there isn't much to do in Home...Erm...it's a beta...so what do you expect? And aparantly it's "lame"...oh so getting things for free is lame now? Sony don't force you to buy items, its optional, you're just complaining because us beta guys got our stuff free. "Spending money on virtual crap is just stupid" really? i don't see you criticising DLC...And what the hell are you going on about here?..." if your going to say that Home is great then your just a fanboy. " what a huge load of crap, my friends all opted for 360's, none have a PS3, but as a result of Home and its potential, 3 of my friends are now looking to buy a ps3. The ones who are hardcore 360 fanboys have told me themselves that they're jealous we got Home for free and wish they had something similar on 360.



Not meaning to offend you here, but did you really expect to get away with leaving such an ignorant uneducated comment on a PS3 news site?...



Good Day :-) :-)

what the hell is fun about that at all? im not complaining about home because it is free. but it is pretty lame. not a lot to do besides have your virtual person stand and dance while you sit and watch and do no interaction at all. not fun. but home is a pretty sweet idea and i really hope it gets much better. itd be nice if they released it with the ps3 so then every game would be integrated for game launching and whatnot.

# Please people, you are so stupidRommelTJ 2008-12-15 13:25
To the fanboys: you are stupid, period. You have been brainwashed.



To the people arguing to the fanboys: you are stupid. If you want to reply to the fanboys, fine, but do so with a well-structured argument and proper grammar. Otherwise, the whole discussion stoops down to the level of the fanboy.



The QJ.net: you are stupid. I understand that this is a blog, and I understand that you make a living by attracting readers, but where do you draw the line? The top of the page says "PLAYSTATION 3 - 24/7 coverage of the latest Playstation 3 News". This is none of that, and by reporting on this childish behavior, you only encourage it.



QJ, don't you understand!? It's articles like these that ruin the community!

Just because this Mabie person made a female avatar doesn't mean you have to use it. There's like 10 or 12 save slots for you to make up to that number of different avatars.

okay mr. xbot wannabe, you dont have any idea what home is about. Its not supposed to be something where you kill aliens with chainsaws. Its not supposed to be overly engaging as to keep you on there more than an actual PS3 game would. Home is just a free service where people can lay back, chill, and meet other ps3 owners. I had like 4 friends on psn, but after 3 hours on home I have 6 more ranging from 14-29 years old.



I can meet people, bowl with them, have a nice funny dance off, and just chill. And all this for free. To me that sounds pretty sweet. Besides, Home is in beta, and has been out for like 2 days. I'm sure the majority of ps3 users haven't even gotten a chance to go on there.



And about that advertising on Home, I HOPE Sony is planning on doing some of that. Sony could use the revenue, and I don't mind looking at ads (hey, gives me something to look at). And if more companies make add-ons to advertise themselves (like the Red-Bull island, Uncharted space, etc.), we'll just more content to explore. We get more content, Sony gets more revenue, PS3 thus gets more support.

lol yea, QJ definitely seems to be against ps3. They post all the bad news about each game, and advertise only the bad shizz about home.r

# that's what I was thinkingMaster Chef 2008-12-15 22:37
Most of the female avatars on there are probably dudes who play chicks for the lulz



So most of the guys hitting on them are not only making themselves look like losers, they're wasting their time.
