Life Unemployed -- Living virtually to forget despair

The new changes to the PlayStation Home has started to take hold. Although I haven't found the blocking option that will take out the "trolls" from my general area or the free camera I can use to photograph my friends and I playing a game together or just being silly, it's still impressive.

I must say I'm impressed with games and personal spaces in general. As I hunt the streets of my area for a part-time or even full-time job only to find disappointment and despair. Find solitude playing my games and writing stories about the games I adore on Facebook or games in general for the two sites I write for. I can count on a pleasant evening in the virtual world. Despite the occasional "trolls" the PlayStation Home has become a second Home for me that my boyfriend Parrish and I can enjoy after an evening of Metal Gear Online or even the new Uncharted 2 Multi-player with friends. Either on the US or Japanese servers and occasionally the European servers.




But all the new updates and changes make living virtually much more appealing. For example, the Neptune Suite, a new personal space on Home that is simply as ingenious as it is gorgeous. I didn't know exactly what I was getting based on a video but I purchased it anyways for $5.99 at the Mall on PS HOME. Why didn't Sony think of this any sooner? Two personal mini-games I can play when I don't want to be bothered by anyone or invite friends over to dance and play a shooting gallery game with them. Check it out:



If only real life can be this interesting at least. So even after spending all day tracking down possible job openings, finding freelance gigs that can at least pay for next week's groceries, more blogging gigs to help pay the bills.

Even though two gaming companies (bForsaken Studios and iMU Canada) are in the process of finding investors to help fund the programmers, writers, artists and the rest of the staff I hope to be gainfully employed before my unemployment funds disappear.

Until then, I know I can come home from a long day of filling out applications, re-writing my resume thirty something times and nervously sit in one of three business outfits that I own for an interview, and turn my PlayStation 3 on and enjoy an evening forgetting that I was unsuccessful in finding a job in my area that day.
