Does any one here, by any chance, play LBP on PS3?

[LMNO]

No, but I play YO MAMA on FRIDAY NIGHT!

sorry, had to at that

My boys have a PS3.  Don't think you'd be playing alongside them, though, we have the internet thingie blocked.

[Richter]

Don't got. 
It's weird, thinking that I need to make more time in my life for video gaming.

I have felt that way for the last 3 years or so.  Instead of actually making it so I have more time for my games I get less and less.  I think I am fucking up somewhere, as it seems that the harder I work to have more free time the less of it I actually end up with...fucking responsibility.

Whether or not I can get a ps3 currently depends upon impressing a group of aged academics enough for them to pay $2500 to fund a project outside their field.

After that, maybe. What's LBP?

It's a semi-3d side scrolling platformer where 99% or more of the content is user generated. The building tools/system is pretty in-depth so you can build beyond a side-scroller if you're inspired enough.

The problem being that most of the user generated levels are either complete trash or simple walk-through art projects, no one pushes the boundaries of game-play. Except me.

This is why I ask, I've made a few super-challenging levels, and because they're not "user-friendly" I'm not getting many plays. It's easy to blame the fact that you suck at the game on the level being "broken" when the creator is "just a guy," not a professional programmer.

Basicly, just wanted to see if anyone here was into it, we could help one another out by leaving good feedback for each other. Plus I want to torture more people with my evil, mean-spirited levels of doom.

That sounds really cool, actually. I also thought the built-in ps3 MMUVE thing (Home or whatever it's called) was pretty neat -- it sounded vaguely like a less buggy Second Life, though I don't know what capabilities exist there (can you build your own objects? Can you code their innards? Do you have to use one of Sony's bondage and discipline languages or is there an open toolchain?)

If I indeed get the grant, it'll probably be summer before I get the money or the machine, and I'll spend several weeks just doing computery stuff on it (on yellow dog or whatever I can manage to get installed, rather than Sony's video game console OS), but after that I'll play around. I'm not sure how much I'll have left, but almost certainly enough to buy a copy of LBP if it's not subscription or absurdly expensive.

If you send me a copy of the game and a PS3 I will try out your content and let you know if it sucks.

I have become a LBP addict.



One question: In the intro, when your walking away and the guys is explaining the game...there are rainbows in the background. Well I actually got flipped by one and landed down below. Looked around and I only found one piece of something, almost looked like a hammer looking object. (not a sticker or points or anything).
Any ideas on this? I have yet to be able to duplicate the fall.

There is a hammer object you can unlock somewhere in the story levels, but fucked if I know exactly where it is. As far as your experience in the tutorial level, I think you simply broke the level and got somewhere they didn't intend you to go, further proof that the developers of the game use the same tools as the users (and can make the same mistakes).

More importantly, what's your PSN? We can get jiggy wit' it.

And more important than that:
PLAY MAH LEVELS!!
