It's been a few months since this blog has been updated, but that doesn't mean things aren't happening. Quite the contrary, in fact.
Seizing on some free time from the PlayStation Network outage, I've built a HomeCast channel on YouTube, which you can find at http://www.youtube.com/user/HearItWow. This channel will eventually be the home of all the back episodes of HomeCast from the Community Theater, as well as outtakes, lost clips and general behind-the-scenes stuff.
For everyone who's looking to get the latest news from me, follow me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HearItWow. This goes especially for everyone who's sent me a PSN friend request that I can't accept.
Here's the deal with that, just so you don't think I'm some kind of snob. I currently have 95 of a possible 100 Friends List spots full. The few that are left I must keep open, in case I need to meet up with someone to shoot something in Home. If it were up to me, I'd add everyone who sends a Friend Request, but with the limits on that list, it just isn't possible. Feel free to Tweet me any questions you have about Home, and I'll be happy to answer them.
Finally, be sure to visit GamerIndepth every time you get online for the latest news, videos and podcasts about Home and the PlayStation 3. If you happened to miss an episode of HomeCast, you'll find it on GamerIndepth before it migrates to the archives in the YouTube channel.
Thanks as always to my friends and the nice people at Sony Computer Entertainment America. as well as the third-party developers, for all of their support. Thanks to the haters, too, for keeping me honest.
See you in PlayStation Home!

A New Home for HomeCast
HomeCast gets a new home this week. Look for the weekly updates at http://www.gamer-indepth.com/, and be sure to check out all the other great shows that are part of their lineup, including the GamerIndepth podcast, Replay with Doc and HomeTalk with Mrs. Lochwood.
You'll still be able to enjoy HomeCast directly from your PS3's browser, and you'll still find all the reporting and commentary that you've come to enjoy.
As for this blog, this is pretty much the end of the line, but I will be leaving it up with the archive of older episodes, so that you can hear the horror of HomeCast's evolution from overproduced garble to something that you might want to listen to.
None of this would have happened without the tremendous support from the Home community and the fans, so I want to thank you for making this little podcast a part of your week. If you want to stay in touch, click that Twitter link on the right and Follow me.
See you in PlayStation Home, and on Gamer-Indepth.com.

There are a few furniture and clothing items that just couldn't fit into five minutes this week. For female avatars, there's the Club Chic outfit, which is a complete avatar that cannot be modified. At 99 cents, it's a reasonable buy, and rumor has it that this avatar moves a little differently than the standard female avatar. If anyone can confirm this, please do.
There's also a lot more furniture available for the Lake House, including some cool abstract lamps, .99 for the floor model and .49 for the table model, and the stack of dice for .49 cents, which will add an extra casino kick to that Brimstone Poker room you've been building.
If you still need the Move controller avatar, want to buy the animated version or just haven't finished the game yet, meet me in the Move space tonight, September 25, between 8PM and 11PM Eastern Time. You won't find this space on the navigator, so if you'd like to come by, send a friend request to HearItWow from your Home PDA. I won't be able to send invites while the game is playing, so please be patient, and I'll get you in just as soon as I can.
