Tosh has made it so anyone who participates in a BlogCast gets 200 points. If you want to earn points easily, that’s a chance for you to do so! It’s very casual, laid back, and conversational. Most of the time, we record on Wednesday night at 6PM, Pacific.

You can also earn 100 points for emailing us and 150 for leaving us a voicemail (@ PS3-888-BLOG – US number). We will read mail on air, as well as putting the audio from voicemails in there.

Be sure to listen to Episode 9 when you get a chance!

The Red Johnson’s Chronicles giveaway ends tonight, so be sure to get your last minute entries in for this excellent title. There will be three winners.

If point and click mystery games aren’t your thing, we also have a chance for you to win the far more frantic Alien Zombie Megadeath, which ends Thursday night. I’m not sure how many winners will be chosen here, though.

Earlier this week I had posted a reminder about our Gran Turismo 5 tournament, which is still scheduled for the 24th (one week from today). At this point in time, that is still the only game night we have planned unfortunately.

Of course, that’s not to say you can’t start one yourself! In fact, we have a site trophy you can get just for hosting your first one. The only thing you have to do is apply to be a writer and you can simply opt to just host game nights. You can also go into the Game Night Group and post there as well (I am going to try to find ways of promoting the Groups section so it gets more activity).

Tekken: Blood Vengeance 3D Coming To Theaters For One Night Only

Not too many people voted this week, but from the results, most people think we’re a**holes because those people have jobs. There are others who are getting fat. More so than those engaging in sports, or even gaming. Only a select few are getting sexified. There is also one person from the southern hemisphere who is currently enjoying winter, my favorite time of year.

This new poll idea is by way of EdEN, who will get the 200 points for the suggestion. We’re asking how much money you’ve spent on the PlayStation Store since the PSN resumed service, in light of the post we had earlier in the week about how sales have been doing better since before the outage.

Since not everyone on the site uses the dollar, I included symbols for the pound and euro as well, and “etc” for any other denomination. Basically, it goes from the low-end amount to the higher end (so if you aren’t familiar with those forms of money, anything over $50 is usually one of the full games or if you got a full year of PS+).

-

Not much in terms of new features, but I am proud to say that our site has been very active and love the fact that we seem to be getting a few more regulars as well!

We’re still open to new writers and also have a new incentive to do so: writers get 2 points for every new comment on their articles (minus their own replies), and since a lot of our posts seem to have been getting over 20 comments, that’s an easy 40 points!

We’re always finding ways to get you guys points, which are integral to things like giveaways, or simply for bragging rights. I think Jason has gained points faster than any one else in a given period of time .

As far as the PS3BlogCast goes, during this time period, we have episodes five, six, seven, and eight! Be sure to give those a listen! We often have giveaways included within them, as well as a chance to double your entries in some contests!

This was actually a very busy period as far as giveaways go. First off, we had a LA Noire t-shirt giveaway for people who were able to find out clues hidden within the site. Some even did it just for fun, and it has gotten a lot of positive feedback. We will like to do something similar to that again!

We also gave away codes for Stardrone
; you can see the list of winners Winners of the StarDrone Giveaway”>here.

For Uncharted fans, we had a giveaway for a copy of the GotY Edition of Uncharted 2, so congratulations to the winner! We also gave away codes for the creepy crawler kickback for the Uncharted 3 Beta.

Currently, we also have a giveaway for Red Johnson’s Chronicles, a very well done point-and-click mystery game.

We also had a giveaway for the NormalTanks mini packed in with the review.

I’m still surprised we haven’t really scheduled any Uncharted 3 beta game nights, but I do have a game night for another game scheduled myself. The Gran Turismo 5 Christmas in July tournament! This is actually our first tournament, and was named so because my PS3 on the originally scheduled tournament date died on December 25th, and that tournament was scheduled for the 26th. A lot has changed since then, so this one should be fun. It even has more prize cars!

Sorry about this long-running poll, but we did get a bit of feedback from those who voted (also, you get points for voting if you didn’t know that). It appears a lot of people are going to pick it up eventually, while a few seem to want to get it now simply because of the price. 35 people aren’t going to get it, though (split between a “No” and “Not into handhelds”), while a few were going to pick it up regardless of the system’s price.

Summer has been going on for a few weeks (unless you live in AZ< where it has been going on for a couple months), so, thanks to Darklurkr23 (who will receive 200 points for the poll idea), we’re going to have the poll reflect what you’re doing this summer. Choices are open as well, so you do have the ability to add your own!

Nothing much new, but we did have some live blogging taking place at E3. If you wanted to watch the event live, you could have done so here.

And don’t forget, we still currently have Double Points going on for comments and posts (10 and 90, respectively; you also get double points for logging in as well), which should last until tomorrow morning. Too bad not too many people took advantage of it when it went live last week.

Sinlock managed to win the PS3Blogcast sound bite contest, with Grondimn coming in at a close second. Although Sinlock won the 150 points, since Grondimn was just seconds off, he had also received 100 points, so congratulations to you guys.

We also had a facebook and Twitter contest for Call of Duty: Black Ops’ Escalation map pack, so congratulations to those winners as well!

Vita Likely to be Region Free
Jay on June 11th, 2011 No Comments

Turnout for this poll was pretty bad. Then again, the site’s traffic wasn’t as much as anticipated, either, but we still had a few people add in some answers. The most anticipated thing, according to this poll, was Uncharted 3 news. However, we did have a few optimistic folks hoping for some PlayStation 4 information (which I would think would be more likely at least next year anyway). That even beat out the NGP pricing and release date.

Also, I am 90% certain that EdEN added Project Cafe to the list, which only got 3 votes, tying with Metal Gear Solid: Rising.

This poll comes from the announcement of the price of the Vita, which, for the base model, is the same price as its immediate competition, the 3DS. We’re asking if, because of the announcement of the price (which is really lower than expected), are you more likely going to buy the system? Would be interesting to see the results of this one, because it IS lower than expected and a lot of folks were waiting for that announcement, BUT, on the flip side, not everyone enjoys handheld gaming. We’ll see where this went on the next recap

-

In case you haven’t noticed, the chat system currently has a new look, and has also been updated to the latest version. This will actually make it easier for people like me who use the pop-out chat, which didn’t allow you to click a name to send a PM, to be able to do so, as you can now open multiple instances of the chatrooms.

Madagasca, one of our main reviewers from across the pond is also interested in knowing what kinds of things you’d like us to change/cover in reviews, so if you have any input on that, be sure to respond here.

Over the past 4 weeks, we’ve also gotten some new, hidden site trophies, as well as a referral system for those who want to earn points for inviting friends.

Ace also gave us a countdown to E3, and a list of confirmed games to be at the show, so if you want to check that out before the event officially kicks off tomorrow, check it out here.

We did have one contest/giveaway over the past month, and that was for a Roxio game capture unit (thanks to Roxio for providing us with a review unit, as well as a unit to give away). Congratulations goes out to jwhyrock for winning that one!

Though currently we don’t have a game night set up or going on, I still plan on having a GT5 tournament, so know that I still haven’t forgotten about that!

We did have a Game Night for Uncharted 2 on the Uncharted 2 Game Night | May 26th”>26th of May, as well as an impromptu one on the 27th, which I guess was also abruptly canceled due to a blu-ray drive failure on Tosh’s part. That sucks.

This poll was live for quite some time, and has garnered a lot of votes during that period. Going by the results, we don’t have too many responsible people. In fact, people with 360s who only came on here to troll the site exceeded the number of people who actually took the time to study or to even go outside. The true dominating force is all of those people who spent that PSN downtime to collect trophies. Those who haven’t been doing much gaming weren’t really trailing that far behind, though, but since that exceeded studying and going outside (and discovering life), I could only assume that those people stared at a blank TV screen until PSN resumed service (or have been watching the newest episodes of fine TV programming like River Monsters and Swamp People).

And then there’s the folks who didn’t even know PSN had an outage.

With E3 happening this week, the current poll focuses on that and what you want to see announced or what games you hope there is a focus on. Remember, you can also add answers!

-

Not a whole lot of Community news over the past couple weeks, besides the points system update, which includes notifications and an easier way to see how many points you’ve donated to a lottery, etc.

I also gave Tosh some other input on a few other things, but for now, until he responds, it’s just an idea. A couple of you might know about it already, but just in case it doesn’t go through, it’s not worth mentioning.

Given the fact that many of our staff was away for the past week, and activity fell short as a whole, we currently do not have any contests available to enter. And then there’s also the outage, and if you won a couple codes for games to download, it would be kind of crappy to have to wait until the outage is over with .

These results were pretty surprising when you take into account that we have had a lot of worried people commenting on posts over the past couple weeks pertaining to the outage. At least we know that most of the people who voted in the poll aren’t too worried about the outage, and are probably why they haven’t really left any input on the site.

Well, here’s the new poll, asking what you have done since the outage started. If you feel that there could be another answer, please let me know and I will add it! And yes, this poll is open to some funny ones, as evident by the choices.
