[...] – in a sense – is like the military. This is another example – going back to my other article about Playstation Home and clubs – where the community has created a missing aspect of a game, which I think is really [...]

Dang! No way to correct a misspelled word. Ok, here is the right way to say it:
“Laissez les bons temps rouler!” It is a Cajun expression meaning “Let the good times roll!” It strongly conveys the “joie de vivre” (“joy of living”) …

Stay alive and keep writing, soldier!

Another aspect of your article fascinated me. You played a lot of COD. You went into the military and are now serving our country (thank you for the sacrifices you are making). How would you compare playing war games on your PS3 and the actuality of being in a war? I wish you would write an article contrasting virtual war versus the real thing. You are quite an interesting writer. Keep it up!

I agree with all of you, clubs are a wonderful way to find like minded, or in the case of my Grey Gamers like aged, people to hang with and have fun with. I first came into Home almost immediately after buying my PS3 in December 2009. I was waiting for Final Fantasy 13 to come out as it was the reason for buying the console. Then I discovered Home, and it quickly became the reason I have this machine. I have met some wonderful people in here, from all over the world. Get bored in Home? I don’t know how you can. Clubs are a great way to meet others if you are new, I was unaware of the fact they existed for over six months of my stay in Home. I am glad people are writing these types of articles to put that info out there. Good Job cajun!

Exactly Keara,I’m on day 3 with about 3 hours of sleep as of this writing.Meeting like-minded ppl and hanging out with them is more fun than most of the games on Home IMO.I too was cast out into the big wide world of Home when poker closed down,but honestly I’m kinda glad it happened that way.I would not know the many ppl I do now if poker hadn’t closed down,the trouble on Home isn’t making friends but trying to get by with just a 100 friend list and if your not having fun with your friends then there are always new ppl to meet and befriend.

So true! After the EA Poker Rooms closed, I was left without my huge circle of poker pals to hang out with. I wandered around in Home visiting the places that I had never bothered to investigate because I was too busy playing poker. Then I met SealWyf who was obviously having so much FUN with the Homelings. Next thing I knew, I was playing the EchoChrome game to win the Homeling uniform and assimilated into outer space. Then I met NorseGamer and got pulled into writing for the magazine -- and meet a delightful group of talented loonies who spurred me on. Finally, I accidentally found another ‘older’ lady who introduced me to the Gray Gamers plus now I have been recruited into the Rich Girls Club. Bored? Who has time to be bored? (who has time to sleep…………)
