Thank Christ and all of his disciples that DSG is back! Please let this be the beginning of another DSG stampede!

I can see this tid bit of a statistic turning into something...socially interesting. Yes. I think that Sony is going to look at this and try to get more female users by running ad campaigns and offering features that cater to the fairer sex. Not that the desired end result would be a bad thing, gender balance has brought us some very good things in gaming (i.e. a better view on gamers in general to the outside world), but let's all prepare for the worst here; I hope that didn't come off as prudish. My best guess is we're going to see ads for Oprah magazine and iCarly games.

And one more important point: Dead Space Girl. My true love has returned in all her screaming, horrified glory. I-I think I'm in love.

This isn't the beginning of her showing up in every post. It's the same image from one of the stories that day.

It's probably more like this:

19% Human beings that have a vagina.
.50% Girls.
.49% Women.
.01% "Fine Ladies"

Only 95% of Joystiq users are males aged 18 - 35.

96% of Joystiq users like DSG and adore it in some way (ie. puitting her as her avatar, etc.), 3% disliking her (blasphemy) or being Sprinkles (even more of a blasphemy), and the remaining 1% liking pie. If you're part of the 96% that likes her and wants her to appear more often on Joystiq, copy and paste this message to 5 more Joystiq threads.

Ahaha! Desert Eagle, I fucking hate that stupid shit on youtube's comment section. Do people really believe that they have to post those messages and are retarded enough to do it? Or do they just enjoy spamming the comments? It really gets to me, that kind of stuff.

Yeah, but they are pretty hilarious most of the time. Last time I checked, I saw this one comment talking about a kid with no arms, legs or senses, and that if you read the comment and you didn't post it in 8 more videos, he would break into your house and chop your head off. I mean really, who believes those things?

Although personally, they are better than the incidental viagra/sex bot and constant first commenters Youtube has.

Ahh Youtube... pretty much another home of Internet stupidity.

I got on again a few months back. I went into that general concrete park-like area, and I watched some Making of Infamous short-doc thing. I logged out after it was done.

Home is the best ever!

Kudos to the Dead Space girl chat bubble. I think this offers definitive insight into not only her facial expression, but her innermost thoughts as well.

So is it considered ghey if you hit on a girl avatar, but it's actually a gross, greasy, middle aged man in disguise?.... just asking...

"I dont get what its for really."

It's for having fun and meeting people online (if you're into that sort of stuff - I'm not). There are plenty of minigames you can play in Home, and if you like the people with whom you played those minigames, then you can add them as friends.

I don't get it why people like you don't get it, it's a pretty fucking simple concept. Sony did the right thing with Home, it'll get some recognition one day.

So fun making a girl toon on Home. You'll get a few guys following you fairly quick. I've gotten about 10 games shared to me because I'm a "girl".

I've never really spent much time in Home. I don't find that it really has enough to offer.

In other news, I am elated to see my Dead Space girl alive and well. Made my night.

Ooooohhh..

I always thought the original intent was to use it for game-launching gatherings (say, getting your buddies together pre-game for KZ2, etc), as opposed to using it to find new friends who are interested in the same games.

If it's the former, it still needs alot of work. whatever happened with the remote video-sharing feature?

Sony obviously still going by the idea that girls couldnt really be gamers, considering the 'traditional console audience' remark.
Heaven forbid that more girls be playing on their console!

@ kentuckyfried

That's why Home was/is considered disappointing: Sony promised a ton of key features (game launching, sharing music, video and pictures) and delivered absolutely none.

As it stands, Home isn't for gaming (which is what we all really wanted) but rather for socialising. That doesn't make it uninteresting in itself, a lot of people still like Home, but it could be *much* more interesting as the potential is there.

Actually, I log into Home almost every day. I think I found the ten sane people who use it and there is always one of them to talk to or bowl with or something. It doesn't suck, but I can absolutely understand why people wouldn't visit if they only saw idiots.

Also, my wife is in that twenty percent. Even then, she'll change her female avatar into a male just to mess with them.

nb4 no wife enjoi ur hand
