Adhoc Up My Noodles, PS3 Party

By James Munn | October 24, 2006

I had just set down my Instant Lunch, allowing it to reach the three minute al dente texture, when I realized that my briefcase was devoid of a PSP. What a bummer, I must’ve forgotten to toss it in when I rushed out the door this morning. I was really looking forward to making another run at “Divine Fist” in Tekken DR’s Dojo. Guess that’ll have to wait, I really wanted to hit that pinnacle before Killzone Liberation hits.

I’m the only person in my building that I know of that actually games at their desk during lunch. It would be most excellent to have lunchtime adhoc multiplayer sessions across the office, either with my DS or PSP. I personally prefer my PSP, but I’d be lugging in my Phat DS for any adhoc session I could get. Maybe I should head to a local Starbucks and take my PSP online for my fix? Do any of you get to experience the joy of gaming during lunch at work or school?

On November 2nd, Sony’s hosting a PS3 gamer lounge in NYC and I’ll be attending. I’ll be pretty stunned if Sony can somehow brainwash me into thinking their black beauty is worth the investment at launch. However, with Microsoft screwing the community by being deceptive with their not-so-micropayments, who knows what’ll happen. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to take pictures or video of the party, or even if there’ll be anything worthwhile to take pictures of, but I’ll have something from it. If I get any significant amount of gamer shwag, maybe I’ll toss it into a prize for some kind of contest. Who knows, I’m a giving person.
