A quick headsup

Hi everbody,

Yeah as I allready told you in my second post, I am leaving to America on Monday.
I'll be flying with American Airlines, I'll be changing flights in New York JFK.
My destination is Tampa, I'll be in Tampa for Christmas.











Most Europeans don't like to fly very much, no difference with me there.
I'm going to see my father who lives there. And be honest who wouldn't want to spend his or her Christmas in America ? Well some Europeans would like to experience it. Well this will be my second time going to Tampa during Christmas.












My flight is on the 22nd of December, I'll be in my other home on the 23.
Wish me luck
Take care

PS: I'll try to keep the blog updated as much as I can while in America

I've had it with you SONY !!!!!

Welcome people,



I'm happy you decided to read my post, all of which I'll write here are based on fact.

So people are given the opportunity to download and experience Home on the PS3, a rich and lively game world made for the gaming community.


But don't let it fool you,if you're a "non-American" you have yet again been pushed aside! Yes, once more and how does that make you feel? You don't know?

Well let me explain, for years in gaming the American gamers have gotten more bang for their buck be it for the exclusive content or huge gaming events or free stuff for their games.
That's alright but that doesn't mean Europeans have to be belittled.

But with Home, Sony absolutely pissed me off!


Us "non-Americans" have no access to a wonderful Home plaza! We are treated with a stupid Home square where there's a bloody pond with people sitting there and playing chess. Oh wonderful you'd think.

But oh no my friend, oh no, people over in America get a Home Plaza which is bigger and has a freaking river type of thing!

No I'm not complaining about the fact that they have a bigger water surface, I'm here to complain about the fact that the Americans have a jukebox in that "Home Plaza" of theirs, a jukebox with awesome remixed music for crying out loud. What do we have ?


Some big screen with advertisements, oh nice, guess what. What ? People dance to the music from the advertisements!

What ? No! Yeah they do !

Who ever makes his/ her avatar dance to that is pathetic!

Did you also happen to know that Sony has given the Americans a place within that Home Plaza to play a game with flying sourcers? Oh yeah they did! How does THAT make you feel ?

Oh it doesn't end there!

Sony Also gave the American gamers 2 extra spaces for them to stretch their virtual legs in!
What is it you say? Oh nothing big, a huge Far Cry 2 oriented space with the whole setting nailed to the point you actually feel that you're in Africa and a nice bar that is oriented towards Uncharted where people can enjoy the company of some nice artifacts.

What's next you would say ? Oh nothing big, as I noticed myself last night after hustling with logging into Home.
We as "non-Americans" can not walk around freely in the screening rooms of the movie theater area, we're given a static camera that shows you the trailer or video from above the seats.


Oh and here's a proud American website

www.gametrailers.com

boasting with their content by posting some awesome videos of those areas later in this video:


And here's a nice picture to keep you reminded of that:

The Truth

PS: You have any problem with my grammar? Write a PM to me how much you hate me for not writing properly, ok ?
Let me remind you that I'm nor American nor a Englishmen. I like the fact that Americans get that content but we want it too.

Actually I'm half American :P, My dad lives in Tampa, FL
But I live in Belgium

People, humans, I am here, here to stay

Well this is officially my first blogpost,

I'll tell you a bit about my self, I'm really into gaming, I study Accounting and Data processing , I dunno if I translated that correctly though that last one.

Basically what it is, it's a class where you program stuff and make it run correctly on a PC.
We use Visual Basic to write our programs.

I want to become a software developer in the future, I would really like to work in the gaming industry.

Oh but forget about that for now, I'm a 17 year old student in Belgium and I like playing games, watching movies, listening to music, going out with friends, I also like programming.

I'm a huge fan of David Jaffe, Hideo Kojima, Cliff Bleszinski and many other developers.

I'm looking forward to Killzone 2, God of War III, Grand Tourismo 5 and other things in 2009.

I'll be going on vacation from the 22th of December till the 6th of January to Tampa Florida to visit my father who lives there.

That's all for now

Take Care

Jacob

PS: Yeah I'm still having issues with my grammar
