Oh, That's It!!

While Tuesday's belong to my Racers (LBP Karting People), Thursday's are all about my Runners (LBP2 People).  This is a great group of creative and intelligent young men.  I am excited to see what they are able to come up with and how they will assist one another once they get rolling.  For now it is a matter of getting to know Little Big Planet 2.

Last Thursday, one of them was out completing a test for the next level belt in his martial arts class.  The two that were there opted to play two player.  They worked their way through the second world of the game.  One of the things I have really enjoyed about this club is that the kids get so much joy out of the game.  At one point they were trying to throw a ball of jelly at a button to open the door to the next section, but they kept getting in each others way.  While you could tell they were a bit frustrated, they were also laughing as they occasionally tossed one another off the train.  It was fun to watch.

The kids will be playing for the next few weeks, then we will start working on designs and creating in the game.  I will have much more to share once we shift gears.  For now, enjoy the pictures.

The boys are getting a taste of the sweet goodness of puzzles in Little Big Planet.

Sometimes working together, other times, not so much.  However, they were having a great time.

The music in Little Big Planet games is so very good. I hooked the system up to an old stereo to enjoy it.

It is a bit make shift, but the sound is so good.  

Oh, and two quick things.  First, our other Runner did not get to test for his belt because of bad weather.  I am told he will go for it in February.  He did, however, make up his LBP time by playing Little Big Planet Vita, a great handheld version of the game.

Second, and the last picture reminded me of this, if you want to see another amazing aspect of Little Big Planet, head over to youtube.com and search for Little Big Audio (or just click the link).  There is a music generator in Little Big Planet 2 and several creators have taken the time to upload over a thousand songs, all created in the game.  It is another really cool project that is worth your time and attention.
