Registrato il dominio quot;PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale quot;

Annuncio imminente?

A fine Novembre vi parlammo del vociferato picchiaduro per PlayStation 3 targato Sony, con un roster composto dai personaggi più amati tra le esclusive PlayStation.

Ora sembra esserci un’ulteriore conferma da un dominio registrato di recente, www.playstationallstarsbattleroyale.com, al momento totalmente vuoto ma “esistente“, forse in previsione di un annuncio imminente.

Un indirizzo web non semplice da ricordare, ma tenetelo d’occhio insieme a noi per vedere cosa bolle in pentola in questo interessante melting pot di personaggi e ambientazioni tratte dai capolavori first-party dell’universo PlayStation, con Nathan Drake, Sly Cooper, Fat Princess, Sweet Tooth e Kratos più che certi partecipanti al massacro che si terrà in luoghi come il villaggio Sandover (tratto da Jak & Daxter) o uno dei campi da golf di Hot Shots Golf.

Come se non bastasse, sul profilo Twitter del team SuperBotEntertainment, al lavoro su un progetto per Sony Computer Entertainment America ancora top-secret, è apparsa la scritta “Boot sequence initiated“: chissà cos’è che devono lanciare?

Non ci resta che attendere l’annuncio ufficiale da Sony, o che qualcosa inizi a sbucare all’interno del web-site fresco di registrazione! Restate sintonizzati su queste frequenze!

my hatred of laundry

I love to cook, sew, mop, dust, bake, organize, and sweep.I don’t mind vacuuming, doing the dishes, scrubbing, sweeping, or taking out the trash.I hate doing the laundry.I’m not kidding. You may think I’m kidding, and if so I am honored that you would consider me so domestic as to be incapable of loathing a household chore, but I’m not. Here is proof positive that laundry is nothing if not my arch enemy:First of all, this is what our dirty clothes hamper looks like.With no room left, clothes have crept their way through the rest of our house. Like the bathroom.They’ve strewn themselves all over the chair in our bedroom.And some have found a home next to my dresser.You may think, “Wow, she’s being pretty open about the more-than-slightly embarrassing state of her house.” And this is true. But the reason I’m sharing so willingly is because I don’t care. Well, I didn’t care, until last night.Last night I was commenting to Dan about how low I’m running on clean clothes to wear and how maybe the laundry should “get done” (how’s that for passive voice?). The man is a saint, mind you, and he has done much much much more than his share of laundry since the beginning of our marriage*(see note). But apparently even saints have their limits.Dan: “I was wondering how long it would take you…”Me: “What do you mean by that?”Dan: “Well, I haven’t done the laundry because I want to see how long until you would break down and do it.”Me: (with a hint of raised voice) “Oh it’s really that bad is it?!”I used to not care, but now the battle lines have be drawn.My apathy has turned into pride at the growing mountains of clothing collecting around our apartment. I will hold out until my shoulders are swallowed up by a 4 foot tide of dirty linens. I will ignore the extent to which I miss that “spring rain” scent on my clothes. I will bust out those bottom-of-the-drawer clothes and wear them with pride, for I truly, plainly, undeniably hate laundry.*Note: In an attempt to win Dan’s heart sophomore year of college, I actually did his laundry all year. and patched it. and removed stains. and folded it. Greater love has no one than this, I tell you.

no, IM more stressed.

When my stress level rises my coping mechanisms come out and my defense shields go up. I think that’s true of most of us. But a funny thing happens when I am coping, defending, surviving – it becomes all about me.My burden. My worries. My what-ifs.These stressors, though, (the house project of the decade, money, a baby whose due date approacheth, time, decisions to be made, change. Lots and lots of change) are not solely mine. They are also DanO’s, and in a very real way, they are his more than mine. So I’m over here all woe is me, I have so much to deal with (which isn’t untrue!) and he’s over there dealing with the same things as me (perhaps minus the 36.5wk pregnant thing) plus the burden of a stressed wife.Ah, my selfishness.I’m stressed and thinking about myself. He’s stressed and worrying about me along with his stress. Stress, worry, defenses, fear, unknown…::kaboom::Hello, last night at 11:00. I should have seen you coming.We got right down to it, DanO and I. There was so much we both needed to say, and we said it, mostly in the right tone of voice (ok after the initial verbal scuffle). UGH. Hard stuff.Don’t you hate that? When you want to just buckle down under your defense shields and then you realize that those very shields are hurting someone you love? As in, if I’m constantly talking about how hard my life is, the protector and provider of this family is going to feel a constant blow. Coming to that realization last night felt like a band-aid being hastily ripped off of my selfishness. It hurt.The time when we need to be most gentle with our spouses is the time when we would naturally be the most prickly.Our pastor who married us (4 years ago next month!) said something during our wedding ceremony that has stuck with me (and hit me over the head several times):Marriage is the only crucible hot enough to bring out all of your impurities.Just like with metal, the more intense things get, the more pressure we’re under, the more stress and heat that is applied to us, the more our impurities – our selfish tendencies, our pride, our insecurity – will rise to the surface. It can get ugly up in here.But it’s good. It’s ultimately good to lay my head down on my pillow at midnight and know that we just called some of those impurities by name, DanO and I. We acknowledged them and while we didn’t wake up this morning perfect people, we woke up more aware of how to love the other.We woke up with a plan of attack instead of defense shields. And maybe just a little bit less stressed.

Friends Forever!.

Bffs

Every time Julia Sonmi Heglund designs a new t-shirt, never fail, I want it. Her latest, Friends Forever, is awesome and I just couldn't say no to it. I mean how could I? Could you? Plus, I'd like to believe that it is my own silent attempt at not wanting to say goodbye to the summer. (I am a genius of rationalizing purchases mind you, need help? Contact me.) Anyhow, what reminds you most of summer other than friendship bracelets, camp and BFF's 4-eva? Awww, come back to me summer.
