I'm talking about the people that dress their avatars with bunny ears and refuse to use any variant of language other than "rabbit."

Thankfully, flying penises and furry costumes probably won't be allowed in Home. If you fell off the bus on videogame news for the last year, Home is basically the Sony version of Second Life. Unlike Second Life though, Home restricts players to just walking around, conversing, and exploring the tools of the Sony dashboard in a 3D environment. Players will have the option to create unique avatars, decorate their own apartments and even watch trailers.
The reason I bring this up is that on our wonderful nation's holiday, PSN director Eric Lampel tried to reassure PS3 owners that the oft-delayed Home will come out for real this fall. Unfortunately, despite Sony's attempts to coddle my expectations, I feel that it may finally be time to just suck it up and say that Home could possibly blow.
