The last leg of my shakycam GDC tour quickposts is the demonstration of how the media center within Home works, and the room of doom: a personal trophy ampitheater of your best achievements in the games you've played. The prospect is very exciting: capture your best in-game footage and your merits all in a place that your friends can visit. When he overlooks the balcony to the ocean of trophies it reminded me of a mix between the grand Star Wars conference room and electric fetuses in the Matrix. Exploring this world seemed fun, but seemed slow despite PSP warp points. I waited but it never came: no mounts, Hummers, or suicide jetpacks. Well, they have until Fall to fix it.

So what do you guys think of the interface?  I'm both impressed but am on the fence -- I have usability concerns.  This is completely visual, which is a far departure from the OS-like approach on the Xbox 360. This concerns me: just like VRML was too cumbersome to actually serve any purpose, I feel like something about this needs to behave more like software or have a software-like alternative we can access without having to run from point A to point B.

So that's it for me. The guys and gals will soon be returning from their interviews and I'm running off to eat a boxed lunch and explore the floor, wish me luck!
