Xi near drove me insane at times. I did not get to go to Jess's apartment. I only got part of the Xi trophy. And I am still irritated at the end which I reached enough of to click on one of the three choices one of which I think was Velicorp which I clicked that choice to see what it said thinking I could go back and check the other two choices but boy oh boy was I wrong. One choice only. The one I would have picked was Independent (or something like that).

The hover bike through the forest made me crazy and so did some of the other games. In part, Xi is responsible for my total irresponsible actions at times (or so I claim).

I should run and hide from this game. But there's one problem. It was so much fun and the Home community was sharing things and becoming involved with each other.
We do have to pay to play this time so we shall see how I feel when it comes out but right now… I am looking forward to it.

There was talk of turn-based game mechanics, which is fine, as long as it’s not got a tower defence thing shoehorned in there. But there was also talk of part of it being *like* a card battler, which has me on edge. The great thing about Xi was the way they incorporated new spaces hidden in Home, and the twisted puzzles they’d make you do to solve them. These weren’t just puzzles in the general sense, some had you disguising your avatar as someone else to gain entry to a hidden area under Home Square. It was these little things that made you more involved with it than just a game you played.

I’m really looking forward to this though, I have faith that the creator of Xi will have made the right decisions for it. I know we probably won’t have the same level of line-blurring between Home and RL this time around (unless it makes buckets of money) but it’ll still be one of the most engaging things to do in Home.

It’s a testament to itself that it’s managed to garner so much interest without much advertising (if any?). Just like Axiom; a fact that proves itself just by its own existence.

Just watch out for Gary.
