HomeStation Presents: Caption This Picture #18
by Olivia_Allin, HSM photographer
For a while now, LOOT’s been running Movie Nights every Saturday evening in PlayStation Home. These are solemn, dignified affairs; everyone comes dressed in their Sunday best, refrains from any sort of commentary during the screening, and collectively they enjoy various art-house films by people with French surnames. Then they sit in tastefully-lit rooms and consume a rare vintage while discussing that particular movie’s many nuances and subtleties, often musing on how the human condition could be improved if everyone could simply relate to the smoldering existential angst that can only be properly portrayed by Alain Delon.
Yeah. Right.
Seriously, if you haven’t been to a LOOT Movie Night, you really need to go. LOOT basically turns Home into a giant Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode every weekend, by playing only the absolutely cheesiest films they can find for anyone who wants to show up. Usually hosted by this publication’s founder, it’s not uncommon to encounter other LOOT team members hanging out in the clubhouse and bantering with everyday Home users.
The Home community makes a big deal out of wanting more direct interactivity with Home developers — something beyond the usual sterilized PR statements that are so beautifully honed to mollify without actually saying anything. LOOT, however, is walking the talk. If you haven’t been to one of their Saturday Movie Nights, then frankly you’re missing out on one of the best recurring developer-sponsored free events in the history of Home: the joy of hanging out with a bunch of friends from all across the country and totally riffing on a cheesy film.
Of course, even we’re not sure what’s going on during the after-parties which spring up in the LOOT clubhouse after the movie ends and the radio starts up. Pictured here is our own NorseGamer at one such LOOT after-party, doing…well, we’re not sure we want to know.
You know the drill: caption this picture!

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.

Who does that guy think he is, Gods gift to bunny lovers?
Norse: “I made these slippers from a two-headed rabbit I caught that was thiiiiiiiis big. No, really.”
I know nothing and I can prove it.
