OK, OK. I know I’ve been M.I.A. lately. You also may have noticed that I haven’t been on my PS3 in a while playing SF4. Well, life’s been hectic but exciting, and any free time has been spent catching up on sleep (I promise to catch up on all my PS3 messages, sorry)!
The real reason I’m here, and it’s not to keep you updated on my life, is to let you know that next Thursday, FLOCK! finally arrives on PSN. Soon you’ll be able to manipulate cute, cuddly animals with the help of your trusty UFO. You don’t even have to be in a farm to flock sheep, Capcom is giving you the ability to do this in the privacy of your own home. You can even call a friend over and flock.
If you’ve never herd of FLOCK! before, here’s a video with the beautiful Veronica Belmont and one the folks at Capcom going over some of the cool features in the game (I’m loving the outfit Veronica!).
Did I mention trophy and in-game XMB music support? Another cool feature is the level editor where you can create your own plushy environments and share them online. There’s also a rating system where you can praise the brilliant work of others, or pan some of the more awkward levels that are made available (Giving fans creative freedom is not always a good thing).
So, if you’ve been keeping up with my blogs, I’ve been hinting for months about a cool surprise for PSN gamers this year. Well, stay tuned. I’m ready to talk about it at the end of the month.
Oh and finally, comment number 200 gets a free, redeemable token of FLOCK! and a copy of Street Fighter 4 (No spamming allowed. If you post two times in a row and hit number 200, the prize goes to the next person. Send me a PM to my PSN ID and give me your address to get your prize.).

Soooo…. what do you guys think of the new text chatting feature?
500?!
500 test?
@ Angelcoma Let The Right One In for Blu-ray
@freakyzeek song is fairly old, youtube her singing the French version.
I deserve a prize, it isn’t everyday that I’m the one to hit a big number, 500 is pretty good…. right?
Uh huh, uh huh… cheyeah!
boy not even on a pratice test can I get it lol, I have no hopes for 1000.
I wonder if ill be able to socre the 1000th post. hm….
@freakyzeeky: I think everyone wants in game voice chat or we will get mounts of complaints…. again. NOT that it will fix the complaining, there is still other stuff they will find wrong.
@Trudation
That explains that old-school sound… :)
I’ll see if I can find the French version then
@ freakyzeek it should be titled “Laisse Tomber les Filles”
@angel
I want voice chat too, but from what I also understand is that there are certain patents by a certain company *cough*MS*cough* that prevents Sony from adding certain features to our beloved PS3s, such as custom soundtracks… they own the patent for that. They patented several features from the 360 actually.
They might have a patent for the voice chat too, but I’m not 100% sure on that
this looks so cute!! =D
@Trucidation
Oh, thanks for that… I was having trouble finding that song xD
I might be the only PS3 not interested in – in game voice chat. If i’m in a game I want to play not chat, chatting is done in the game with the friends that are there.
No, I’m not interested in it in game voice chat either. In fact, I tend to turn my notifications off, so I don’t have to be bothered by messages when I’m playing a game.
1000 is far away
Yeah I doubt we’ll hit it till tomorrow.
i’m practicing for 1000
520?!
come on we have to hit it tonight, i have school tomorrow and i know it’s gonna hit 1000 before i get home :( not cool
I was using the text chat while playing WORMS with friends online yesterday… Since there are long wait times between turns, it’s fun to actually chat with friends while waiting. :)
i hope it gets to 1000 tonight
Me too (+1 post)
it would help if a lot more people were posting
Text chat doesn’t work with fast games sadly. We will see what Sony has in store for us for the next firmware updates.
doing my part to contribute to 1000 ;)
Maybe text chatting while viewing photos with friends? lololol XD
What I don’t like about the text chat is it doesn’t display who’s in it like the non in game voice chat we have.
I forgot to add I know you can check to see whos in it but it doesn’t keep the display as well as the chat up there, if anyone follows me.
my view on the text chat is that it’s kinda pointless, i mean we could message people cross game before the update, all this does is kinda streamline it a little more, i mean it’s not a bad feature necessarily but it’s not anything huge by any means
Agreed, there needs to be a list of particpants, by username… not just ‘how many’ there are
john i sent you a message =D, get to it when ya get a chance =D
cool, it may be a while..i haven\’t had a chance to go on in a bit.
