Night In Review by @Zalian
Our founder, the Director himself, also had stated “My email had immediately lit up like a Christmas tree.” Judging by that description he made about his email, there was no doubt that people were going NUTS for this nearing event day by day. So much so that many could not contain themselves, preemptively praising on DoD’s and everyone else’s hard work that they’ve put into this episode. I felt just the same. Seeing what PSTALENT.COM has to offer and the entertainment they present to us all is truly a gift worth remembering and cherishing.
I certainly appreciated our dedicated PST Security Crew, who have helped keep everyone organized during the event, and continued to do what they do best. You make us proud guys!
Overall, I too began to feel chills down my spine, aching to see what was in store for us all. If anyone had to ask me what my expectations were, I’d have to answer something quite similar to the first one I’ve quoted, which was how swiftly the theater would most likely be packed. But if I were to describe it even further, I’d have to say that gatherings, like these, most DEFINITELY top off flash mobs any day. Hehe! I’m hoping to see new faces and familiar ones as well. Nothing is better than to see a whole community, like ours, gather together in this spectacular event.
After the video had finished playing, I asked a few people, both PST members and non-members alike, about what they thought of both the episode and the event all together. And their answers couldn’t be more epic and satisfying than Hamster Jelly. Lol. What answers did they give you ask? Well, from a two word description, one had joyfully described 
this episode and event as “Awesome” and “Funny”. I absolutely agree! This episode truly was well devised and put together brilliantly, connecting the plot from last episode to this one. While it was so intriguingly awesome, I kept wondering what other clever plot devices they have in store for us. Only time will tell. And at the same time, I couldn’t stop laughing at how these characters played their roles so well.
Another member had also given me a two word description. She called both this event and episode “Exciting” and “Entertaining”. Now that’s what I’m talking about! To enjoy this grand event in such an enthusiastic way was so inspiring, even for me. It comes to show that even if an episode wasn’t up, we’d still enjoy the fact that members have come together to meet new friends from PST or even speak to the starring cast members of the episode itself. It was all the more special to have gotten the opportunity to speak with all our beloved members and PST administrators. The episode alone was indeed entertaining, as well as the plot itself. Much like how this PST member has described it, “I was so much entranced by the entertaining comedy and plot that played out so elaborately”. Yes… Truly it was very entertaining for us all.
When it comes down to it all, this whole event, along with the entertaining episode of The Spotlight, was SPECTACULAR all together. The people, who attended, were great. The gathering was fun and everyone meeting new faces or familiar ones was certainly a sight to behold. Much like how these people have provided their two word description of both the episode and this event all together, I would also like to give my description of it as well.
The best way to contribute my two word description of this entire event is: Spontaneously GLORIOUS!
Spontaneous: For being so unexpectedly wild, yet fantastic for all together with such an amazing responses from our viewers, whether PST members or new comers alike.
Glorious: For this entire event to have been such a success. I couldn’t have been more impressed by it all.
It leaves me utterly in astonishment, making me crave for more and looking forward to the next episode. All in all, I am more than certain that the rest of you feel the same way I do when I say: This is only the beginning.
Well done, PSTALENT.COM! Well done!

More goes into programing then just images.. There is codes for every little item that has to be in the right place(all non movable items for us) then we have our avatars that do move wich has to be coded the hair the face the body the clothes all codes that have to be put together by the tech teams. Codes take hours and hours to get perfect not even computers can do it right 100% of the time thus the servers for the theaters have allot to load like DoD said on a dail up you would be up the creek without a paddle so to speak lol
@tbaby @luvibunni And everyone else who commented on this topic. I’m okay with everyone voicing their opinion on a crowded server. It would be nice to move our events to a venue that was suitable to our needs. In the real world, you would move to a larger theater, or stadium.
I think the frustration is that in our world of HOME, everything and anything is possible, yet, we’re restricted to only a handful of attendees. Doesn’t seem like that big of a problem does it?
It’s basically a chat room with a limit of chat room participants. Once the chat room is full, you roll over to chat room number 2 (we call that a new server). But there’s more to that. Everything we see in a chat room on HOME, besides text, is a pixel. All chairs, carpets, walls, lights, etc are all photos. When an avatar steps in, everything that avatar is wearing is a pixel. There are thousands of clothing items in HOME which means there are thousands of ‘pictures’ we have to download. The more pictures, the slower the download so the question comes up… is it quality or quantity? That is the reality of this problem. It’s a technical decision based on quality over quantity.
Would you rather have an increased number of attendees and undeveloped faces and clothes, or keep what we currently have and just create a chat room number 2?
Yes, I completely understand that there is a capacity limit to the theaters and it is a technical constraint created to ensure optimal performance. I do recall that a couple of months ago they did a stress test of the ps home theater rooms so I wasn’t sure if the results ended up with any technical changes made by Sony or not. Based on the current threshold limits, I think it makes logical sense for us to have to split up into separate rooms, but only you and special guests like GlassWalls can reside in a single room using one server. So some of the attendees will be able to be together and others won’t. I don’t really see anything more we can do here. I was just frustrated because I had rushed home to be on early enough to attend and was able to get into the lobby with everyone else, but wasn’t able to get into the same theater as you and my friends. So hopefully I will get lucky next time and enter the theater earlier. No worries, just a matter of luck for now and maybe Sony in the future will make infrastructure (e.g. servers, load balancing, networking changes, etc.) and software optimizations to be able to increase the capacity limits of the ps home theater rooms while still providing acceptable performance.
I understand both sides of it >.< it's just there are pro's and con's to both.. I feel having the whole team in one place is the best… just the server limit can frustrate people who waited there the longest.. I don't know what to suggest, isn't there a way where we can get a private theater and invite the people who were first there, first come first served?
Yes, its a predicament. I don’t think we can make private servers anymore like we used to, but I was thinking maybe we can have people come enter it in groups at a time for a certain period of time, then when they are done watching and taken pics with special guests like GlassWalls, they can leave so the next group can come in. Or maybe we can split up into 2 or more servers with different staff members in each and then the special guests can move from server to server so the attendees don’t have to move.
I see what you’re saying. So straggling the events to allow room and enough time for some that may not be able to get on? For example like one at 5pm, then 6pm, then 7pm? Or perhaps, one at 5pm, break, then at 7 or 8pm? That’s a good suggestion. In addition to splitting up between different servers. I just don’t know if we can choose a different server at the beginning though…
Hmmm… I don’t know much about how HOME servers work but, I recall when the FIFA space was up, tons of people could be in that one space. Seems to me that there could be a theatre built that could hold a bit more ppl at one time. It wouldn’t have to be on that scale of course… but at least big enough to hold more than the current theaters do. It would benefit not only PST, but everyone that has content in the community theatre.

FABULOUS review @Zalian!!
Awww! ^^ Why thank you! But you know what? I give more credit to all of you. Without the feedback and comments that many of you have shared, I don’t think I could have been able to put up a good review like this. You guys are the best and are the main stars of this review! Thank you all for the help you’ve given me. =D You’re the BEST!
After I finally got in and sat thru the other drama’s I was so impressed wow DOD and his crew did another great job the actors and actresses were great even people that were not members of pstalent were respectful you guys might not know it but DOD dosen’t think he’s famous LOL well there you go keep up the great work pstalent you guys are the best ooh yeah I the security they protect us too:)
My review of the movie:
I think overall it was well done. The motions were smooth without any glitching. I am amazed by many of the effects that are used, from laying DOD on the floor on his back to the scenes in the ambulance, with it driving around through PS Home. Having Joanna turn her head while she was driving as if she was checking traffic was a nice touch. Nice use of camera angles and close ups, such as when Kozz calls 911 and the girl who answers the phone. The story is funny and original and leaves the audience wanting to see what is next. The video does go fast and you wish it wasn’t “to be continued”. I give it a 5/5 stars on story, video quality, and audio quality.
Thank you for the great review TBaby. 5 out of 5 stars … YaHoo!
np DOD. hey last nite u said u was having a PSN card giveaway for the 1st 3 reviews posted here. i thought i only saw one other official review here of ep 3.0 besides the comments for the event itself. did i make it?
the girl who answers the phone?????
Even thought I was in the lobby around 30 minutes before 7pm central along with many friends, i was not able to get on the same server as them when they all left to go to theater 10. i tried for over an hour before i finally was able to get in. then when i did, the video froze during the GI video twice and so I had to keep leaving and coming back. it was 10 min until 9pm until I was able to finally see the video. Maybe next time, we should split up to use 2 servers so we not all trying to get into one since there is limited room.
Once again, I learned some valuable lessons from this event. I will try not to repeat them for our next. Thanks for speaking up about that.
This was already mentioned at event itself by zal and cat t’is nothing new but so very, very true D:
that’s cool danni. srry i was jus frustrated with it. btw did u get my msg about helpin with fashion shows? i hadn’t heard back from u.
no worries, i hope the next event i’ll be able to get in cuz i was in the lobby with you and everyone else. I had rushed home from class and was just frustrated i missed out on watchin with my friends and missing seeing glasswalls, etc. I’m glad it was a great turnout and everyone that got in had fun
*Here is my mini review*
Spolier Alert,
THE SPOTLIGHT starts off with dod coming into his studio were he turns on the lights and heads up on stage. Then it all goes wrong Director slips on some spagetti and can’t move on the floor. Director gets found on the floor a few mins later by Kozzzmo who then calls an ambulance, it then goes to the ambulance thats being droven by nurse oops (Joanna) whos plowing down the pople of home, You can’t help but laugh with her driving. So when they arive at the studio they find Director on the floor and they ask does he have insureance to pay for the medical cost, so kozzmo runs to get the credit card he picks it up and runs back to find them gone with Director off to the hospital, they arive at the hospital and the screen black out and we have to wait till next time to find out the news. Well as i have said above i found it amazing and i think you will too, I rate it 5/5 Stars well done Dod and the team!
Thanks for the 5 out of 5! On the review, I don’t think you left a drop out
