PS3 Minecraft, 1.05

I play Minecraft more on the PS3 these days, the analog movement and crafting interface makes it a quicker to play.

Here is my compound on the PS3, pictures taken with my tablet, since the PS3 version of Minecraft can't do screenshots.  (The PS4 version will, video too.)


You're probably thinking:  "Hey that looks like a Caledon Flag!"  Yes, yes it does.  I put up the 4 block Caledon Flag in all my single player worlds.  And I, of course, Surrender to Callevia.  It's an in joke to some of use Caledon Minecrafters.


Since the PS3 uses the Cell processor, I call it "Cell-edon".


More after the break, because there are a LOT of pictures.

Playstation Home, what Blue Mars wanted to be.

Sometimes I think that Playstation Home is what Blue Mars wanted to be, with it's "spaces" that you had to download and gamification.

And here's a minigolf game in Home



Sony promotes Home content with a blog and videos, Linden Lab sure couldn't get away with promoting specific creators these days without having someone complain about creating a new "FIC":




Yeah, there is a LOT of stuff in Home.  You know how SL has tons of unlicensed content?  Star Wars, Tardises, Hogwarts stuff, you know the drill....but with Home it's all licensed.

Want your own Potter Owl? it's in there and linked to the J.K. Rowling's Pottermore website.  I'm a Ravenclaw!

Want your own K9?  Yep, you can even have your own Tardis style virtual apartment.

Tons of free games to play?  Yep.  Take your own screenshots? Yep.  Take machinima video? yep.  Watch video as a group on a screen? Yep!  Though you can't stream your own audio into Home...yet, though there are radio's you can buy that use something called RadioIO.

They just added an Inspect feature that shows you where another avatar got their stuff and lets you buy it from the Inspect Screen!  How I often wish SL had something like that. 

In fact I think Home and SL complement each other well, each one does certain things well that the other does not.
