HomeStation Presents: Caption This Picture #8
by Olivia_Allin, HSM photographer
How would you go about trying to explain the PlayStation Home experience to someone who’s never tried virtual reality?
Q: “So, what’s it like in Home?”
A: “Well, today I hung out at something vaguely akin to the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel with a space invader wearing a jetpack and a UFO riding a reindeer.”
Q: “…Ah. And, uh, what exactly did you all do?”
A: “We casually danced for no reason and without music.”
Q: “Oooookay. Are there objectives to fulfill, or at least trophies to earn?”
A: “Not really, no. But there’s a nightclub where the alien and the reindeer can flirt!”
On second thought, maybe it’s a good thing that Home is turning into more of a gaming platform. It makes it easier to explain. Still, there’s plenty of zaniness to go around: caption this picture!

Olivia_Allin is a team writer, photographer, model, curator, graphic artist, researcher and comic relief for HomeStation Magazine; she lives in Texas with her boyfriend, and Home is more than just a game to her. Years ago she discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. On weekends, to let off steam, she participate in full-contact origami. She saw a Bigfoot once, made a sound you never want to hear twice, and was so proud of her Special Olympics gold medal that she had it bronzed. She is, in her own words, adorkable.
“Sup?”
“Are you SURE that reindeer is a ‘consenting adult’?”
“Fred are you SURE we are in the right place?”
“Yes I am sure, we turned right at the moon and this is where it took us!”
“Why are all of those people staring at us? Do I have something weird on one of my eyes?”
“No I think the reindeer farted.”
Come on Jerry admit it, you dont really know where Santa lives, do you?
Would you like to see my spaceship?
Got any windex?
So this is what happens when you don’t drink your Vetoxade.

This is the island of misfit toys?
NO FLY ZONE for the next 36 hours….crap; I’ll miss the game!
“Does this UFO make me look fat?”
