I'm staying up late for CC's chat.

Oh and 7 hours ago they announced the 'Movinator' I asked when it's likely to be out. They said they weren't allowed to comment any further.
I'm assuming it is a controllinator for move with a similar button layout circuit-board.

Edit: Saw the chat. Well done CC, you did us all proud!

Highlights: Jersey Shore Visits. (Idontthinkso)

Foofles interview is a highlight. Upload that, not two scumbags who couldn't give a crap about the game.

This ladies and gentleman is the real life equivalent of those comments we all see saying: "Plz ply my lvl!!"

Aw man, wish I remembered to watch it a bit. Of course as soon as I got home I unboxed LBP2, so I had my mind pre-occupied.

Looks great so far, keep up the record!

It's still going on if you want to watch. Naomi is making this sweet neon level.

By the way, anyone catch the start of the Race Creation tutorial? I missed it and I want to know how he was editing that car but making it spawn somewhere else without changing the emitter settings.

Fixed it for ya! It's not Lugey, it's Naomi from Mm.

Watched a bit of the program yesterday, but I don't think many U.S. viewers were on today, you know, busy playing their new game. Lol.
Should have held the event at least a week ago to get more people hyped up for it.


But then again, I guess that would defeat the purpose since you guys are playing user created levels...

Apparently the record for most genres in 24 hours is about 38.
I wonder if:
We can get members here to make at least one 'genre'
Get more than necessary to beat the record
Queue them all up
Beat the record as a community?


1 minute left! Woo hoo!

Well done guys! Now you've finished you'll have time to do what you've clearly been waiting to do since Tuesday - play LBP2!

This was such a great event. I've been watching most of it, it was all really well organised, Jeff and the LBPodcast guys were great hosting, the Mm create sessions were great, seeing familiar faces such as Foofles and xkappax, and best of all - Laptop Guy!! Asking all our Twitter questions, he really made it feel like we were all there too. Epic Kudos to Sony, Mm and Guiness and everyone else involved for making this happen and streaming it live! It's made the wait for the release so much more enjoyable.

And by the way - Laptop Guy did show his face at once point. Those of us who saw it were forbidden to reveal anything though.

Oh man, that's so cool! I would have arranged something if I hadn't found this thread late. Though it would have been weird to see a young person at a video game gathering.. Ehh. On second thought I don't like dirty looks. Kudos, Media Molecule!2011-05-04 01:45:00
