Phone Home Episode 1 

Phone HOME has arrived! This production has been one of the most difficult projects to date so I apologize for the delays.

I am happy to announce AkumaPrince as the host of the show, the “HOME GURU” and a special thanks to Cynella for being the guest co-host, “GUEST GURU” and to everyone of the callers and shouters including Keith Medlin for his awesome voice, IkeProductions89 for amazing tunes and Jonnie Mack for his hit, In this Land.

This episode is a bit shorter than planned but the longer I wait, the shorter it gets. Huh? lol. We want you to participate. I’m hoping you will enjoy our pilot episode, enjoy it so much that you’ll come on board for the next episode.

Your comments are extremely important. Please share your thoughts below … Good or bad, you need to help us shape this show into the envy of all gaming platforms. Thanks so much! ~ DOD

Phone HOME - Episode 1

I also wanted to personally thank and commend Ray (BeleiveInFate) on doing such an outstanding job on this video. Just in case you haven’t seen Phone HOME - The Video, you can see it here:

    How can I get a HeadShot!!

  9. The Director said on Nov 23, 2010:

    Hello Patchex… Thanks for the feedback. I love feedback.

    The “um” word is a common word that we all use and something we wish we wouldn’t. I don’t think you sound bad.. I think you sounded HUMAN and I think you did an outstanding job. So good, I would like you on the show as a Guest GURU sometime soon.

    The only audio I cut from the “callers” is the distorted audio. Mr. Oldcatsrock’s call didn’t even make this episode because it was 100% bad. We mentioned we had some issues. I tried to salvage what I could but the entire section didn’t make sense after fixing so I had to cut it from the start. I also told you specifically … Media partners get “Commercials” like the Homelings who were featured in this show. My goal is to create a commercial for all Media Partners on our Media Partners list, which includes GI. Pstalent.com does not compete with any fan based organizations that support Playstation. Our competition is Xbox and Wii and no one else.

    Jump to the end… I’ve been on several shows… I won’t even listen to them. I say “um” more than anyone else. We tear our own interviews apart like we’re the only one we speak too… we speak to an audience, let them be the judges.

    Thanks for the feedback. :)

    • Patches said on Nov 23, 2010:

      Thanks Mr. DOD… yet I think the audio recording has heard enough from me… Your Awesome for trying to make me feel better about it…

      Oh ya, I remember the Break up problems with Oldcatsrocks and the first attempt at an interview…and I also remember the commercial part. I just was confused about why that was cut out…and kinda shocked after hearing my own voice. You say you took out some UMS :( HOW many did I say?

      I am Glad You guys are not in competition… I apparently don’t know how media stuff works… Oh and Xbox and Wii really are not much for competition… lol Xbox might have what it takes under the hood to compete yet yet the Paint job and Upholstery need a revamp badly… and maybe a oil change too…

  10. Patches said on Nov 22, 2010:

    OMZ, can you say UM…UM… UM… lol I thought you were going to cut out my horrible speaking habit of saying UM… If I didn’t look like a Ditz enough in the Lairs first Game video, I sure sounded like one in this broadcast. Crap, I will not be calling any radio shows again any time soon… What a Dork I sounded like :( also why were the ums left in yet my shout out to GI cut out? I know this show might be a competition or what not for GI somewhat, yet my shout out was to Lair, UNITY and GI cause they are all Great groups on HOME… I also thanked you MR. DOD for all your Help, cause you also run a great Group in and out of HOME… If I ever were to guest speak on GI I would Shout out to you and PStalent there as well… I am just not quite sure why that was censored so to speak.

    Great show other wise…

    Harassment has always been a problem on HOME even in its test days. Until Humanity changes I do not see that changing, yet there seriously should be better ways to deal with it. Especially when the Program already supposedly has more male then female users, and it is a free program that depends on item sales and Advertisements to keep it going. Not saying that males are the only ones guilty of this, yet for the most part it is males doing the harassing. If HOME wants to see more Female users, and keep them, they should make more effort to ban from HOME consistent harassers. I am not saying this would be easy, because by no means would it… and there will always be new ones, yet how nice would it be to never be harassed in HOME again?

    Now please DO NOT try this, cause it could get you banned… Yet if you could record a harasser in HOME and post it freely with out fear of getting Banned… and with out fear of being called a Tattle Tail or what ever people want to call it… I think it would stop a lot faster. If someones is known as such, life in HOME for them might be just as unpleasant as they have made it for others… and I do not think two wrongs make a right, yet a taste of their own medicine might just make them think twice before they even think about doing it the next time.

    On another note, I did not know that the UK HOME users could not sign into our servers, I wonder how they keep them from doing so, yet we are able to join any region we wish… as a matter of fact, they can I have seen friends in HOME from other countries on NA accounts. If He just simply means a EU account signing into a NA server, it has actually happened, and could possibly Happen again, sorta. The Fifa Space was a World wide space… great idea on HOME, they should do this way more often.

    Just to add to the comment that Shane said about thinking about buying a space yet not knowing if he would like it. If you go online to the US PS Forums, there are Virtual tours by Cbeyond, also a thread Dedicated to personal User Tours by BanhiDancer, and another one by homeboy79. As far as I can Tell Miss Cbeyond was the first, and she keeps all the spaces updated as they come out, the only Draw back to her method is that it is a video… the other two listed above are hands on Tours.

    I would like to thank PStalent, Mr. DOD, Mr. AkumaPrince, and Guest Guru Trevor for allowing me to make a total fool of myself on their Phone HOME talk show… it was truly a humbling experience, which I do not wish to re create any time soon… yet still one to add to my list of things I did… Cross off make myself sound redonkculus on a radio show at least once in my life…

    Hey everyone… Hope you all like episode 2 of phone home… In my opinion it was a really good show and they just get better every time… The only thing I regret about this show is the audio problems… But this is something that we can’t help, due to technology these days but overall its was a great show and I hope all of our Listeners think so!!!
