Aaaand we’re back!
Welcome to the Official PlayStation Community Weekly Spotlight. In this weekly blog post of general awesomeness I’ll be serving you the finest discussions, tastiest events and a selection of other eye nourishing goodness from across the PlayStation Community forums.
Who’s hungry?
Discussions:
What’s the deal with the Wise Man?
So! PlayStation Home has its very own Wise Man. Only, nobody really knows why. Our community speculate…
Vote to kick should be disabled…
Or should it? Our MAG gamers dish out the hard-talk on voting to kick.
Trophies as Avatars!
This one comes with Muster’s seal of awesomeness. Curtis_mufc suggests that earned trophies should be able to be selected as PSN avatars. Check out the pictures, tell us what you think!
My best ever throwing knife kill…
I can’t decide whether this guy deserves a supreme medal for epic fragging, or a “you lucky git!” award. Either way – well done tiff92!
And the random discussion of the week award goes to…
Funny School Moments?
If you went to school with any of these people, my sympathies are with you. From hiding in cupboards and making ghoulish noises to building replacement-snowman-supply-teachers called Horris; our forumers reminisce about their funniest schooling moments.
Events:
OPC Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker Fun Night!
Stuck on that ridiculously difficult Custom Peace Walker boss battle? In need of a sneaking buddy to get you through the story? Want to try out the Cardboard Box Tank but need an ally to man the cannon? You need to join us on Tuesday night, then!
KillzoneAM
Killzone 2. Saturday. 11AM. It’s like breakfast TV only far, far more deadly. Bring a shotgun!
MAG Mondays
Sabotage maps are now neutral you say? Join us tomorrow from 7:45PM as we ram-raid our way around all the sabbo maps!
Other Sweet Stuff:
3 Brave Souls.

Is there actually any chance for that “Trophies as avatars” idea? I’d love to be able to do that.

Hey Wing!
First off, sincere apologies for failing miserabley on the responses front – my laptop decided that it hates PSN this weekend and refused to log in.
Anyway! On Trophies as Avatars: I cant guarantee anything. What i will do is take the feedback that the community has given, and ensure that its passed on to the people who can sort these things out. It’ll be up to them to decide whether to implement it as a feature!

trophys as avatars is something id love to happen as it would only help with game sales if a feature like that was implemented and as people have said the art work on trophy avatars is fantastic , also wouldnt hamper sales of premium avatars either as they will still sell but im sure sony want people buying more games at 40 quid for ps3 than 20p avatars lol . MAKE IT HAPPEN

“Trophies as Avatars!”
I would love this! At least with Platinum trophies. Would be a nice little reward.

I would love the “I choose the Impossible” trophy from Bioshock 1 as an avatar. I like the sad Grim Reaper.

Woo, Muster do you have your own posting slot for weekly forum events now?
If so that needs one of your seals of awesomeness too.
Posted on 26 July, 2010 at 3:54 pm by MusterBuster
Hehe! I cant wait to slap out that seal of awesomeness.

@Seany1 It’s because your comments are usually slating the blog post.
Anyway MusterBuster, are you ready to kick some Raven/Valor butts?
Posted on 26 July, 2010 at 3:54 pm by MusterBuster
Tonight? MAG Mondays?! I’m there dude, Valor will be in pieces by the end of the night.

Hey Killzonexx!
Our community forums are more about discussions, information sharing, events and general social stuff than big announcements. Luckily, you’re in the right place! The PlayStation Blog is the place to find all the latest PlayStation news.

@ kc i only say the truth about certain things and nothing offensive only FACTS ,seems like its say good feedback or none at all then which is unfair to say the least .

I support the idea of having trophies as avatars.
Would love to use a trophy from Tekken 6 or Dragonball: Raging Blast as they have characters on them (Some for DB: RB, not all).

Trophies for Avatars would be ace considering the poxy amount of avatars released normally (which tend to be tedious unless you love a particular game whose avatars are released) and some of the designs are well suited for avatars.
Also, godspeed to those marathon gamers. You guys are awesome-sauce and for a good cause too!

That’s all i was expecting from you yourself MB! I was just wondering if they’d actually consider implementing it or not.
