I'm a popular woman... in PlayStation Home.
Last night I played no games, but I was able to log into the open beta of PlayStation Home.
In the open beta I retained the avatar that I controlled in the closed beta: a lovely woman with dark skin, short hair and a striking red-and-black striped top. This is the first time I've ever gender-bent in a multiplayer experience and -- wouldn't you know it -- what people have told me is true:
If you play as a woman, people won't leave you alone!
Other Home users keep walking up to me in Home to chat with me. Just this morning I logged on to Home to take a picture of my avatar. I was online for maybe two minutes. In that time, two male avatars approached me. Each wanted to know either my name or where I was from.
I can't take all this attention! I'm going to switch to being a guy so people leave me be.
Next: I am going into Soulja Boy Training Mode this weekend. Lots of "Gears of War 2" and "Halo 3." Plus some brushing up on "Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2." Send training tips to Gamertag StephenMTV.
