Yesterday I posted a blog about how I made a Destructoid clubhouse as a tester for the home beta. Why destructoid? It was the first thing I thought of. Plus, I realized it would have a whole lot more members than, say, a Tom Waits or Mario Bava fan club. And besides, why would I NOT want to put my fave website out there? So I did.

Before I go on, maybe I should explain what a clubhouse is, in the realms of PS3 HOME. It's a pretty simple concept, really. A clubhouse is a structure owned and moderated by an individual where people who dig a certain thing can gather around and chill. You can search for clubhouses to join in the HOME menu, but you have to be accepted by the moderator. Much like the apartments in home, the clubhouses are customizable to your desires. You can add furniture, decorations, all that good stuff. And anyone who is registered as a member of that club can use the structure as they please. But as far as I know, only the creator can moderate it. No word on whether or not the creator can appoint other moderators, but I have yet to come across it in my own experimentation.

So this brings us to the point of the post. NARPs. See, in the comments section of my last blog, brainderailment, stated that he wasn't in the HOME beta, but that once it gets its final release he plans on joining the Destructoid Readers club because we can have NARPs. And I thought "Holy shit, why didn't I think about that!" While not a perfect match to reality, HOME NARPS will be a great substitute for people who couldn't possibly all get to the same place at the same time. You could have a New York, California, UK, Mississippi, Florida NARP, if you wanted to and your only excuse for not coming would be "I don't have a PS3!", to which I would reply "Fucking get one then!"

What do you folks think? Can home bring the NARP to groups who wouldn't be able to get together otherwise? Could it take the NARP to a new level? I mean, having a NARP INSIDE a videogame - that is almost ironic, isn't it?

Either way, my excitement for HOME has been refilled to the brim. And I have Brainderailment and Destructoid to thank for it. See you all at HOME.
