New PS3 commercial:
Amusingly, the boyfriend in the background is clearly playing LittleBigPlanet. Which makes it even more unbelievable that he hasn’t hooked it up to the internet yet, right? But maybe he scored a pre-recall version of LBP, and is enjoying the vocal track on “Tapha Niang”. Consider that, Mr. What’s-wrong-with-him!
[Update: Yes, we have to [...]
Note: Not strictly LBP-related*.
I have a confession to make: Until last weekend, I never played Ico. Shamefully, I called myself “a gamer”, having never experienced this epic work. So on one of my rare days off work, I sat down to consume this sumptuous feast, all in one sitting. For fun, I cobbled together a [...]
All of the cool kids in the UK are picking up LittleBIGPlanet for ten quid or so, while it’s still over $30 everywhere I look in the USA. (But then, sometimes prices are a bit inflated.) Either SCEE feels that it’s worth discounting to attract people to PS3, or they expect to make back the [...]
Sara/xkappax brings us the epic adventures of Kitsune in pursuit of the coveted LittleBIGPlanet crown. Definitely worth checking out. Also see more of Sara’s work over at kappacino.com.
After I pointed my wife at the great fan video “LittleBigRevenge”:
I can’t believe you made me watch that!
But you watch “Law and Order”, and “Bones”, and “ER”…
But those people aren’t Sackboys!
[Update: I'm going to call YouTube's automatic copyright protector "technically impressive, but overzealous". I'll try to find somewhere else to host the video. Any suggestions?]
I was testing out a new capture device when the Edam patch was released, so I threw together a quick before-and-after video for two of the fixes (Invisible [...]
Franco-American fans like myself have noticed some similarity between a set of LBP ads being shown in France and those in the UK:
Cullen Family – French, English.
Rock’n’Roll – French, English.
LittleBigPlanet rules in either language, but I would’ve loved to see a French translation of “Play with everythiiiiing!”.
Has anyone seen any other localized versions of these [...]
More things to see and read while we wait:
Going to be in London next week? I’m not, but MyLittleBigBlog is giving away two tickets to see Irish supergroup The Script at the LittleBigPlanet space in Covent Garden on Monday. So go send in an email, and get out of the house and enjoy some culture [...]
First, without commenting directly on the recent unpleasantness, I’d like to give some words of encouragement to our friends at Sony and Media Molecule. I’ve been part of enough suddenly-delayed releases to know what a horrendous pain it can be. If any of you have time to read this between frantic phone calls and urgent [...]
Sony sent out a press release today announcing the launch of their PlayStation YouTube channel. One paragraph in particular caught the attention of the few LBP fans not already camped out at their local video game retailer:
In the future, PlayStation’s YouTube channel will feature a user-generated content section within the channel, as publishers and developers [...]
