Buying virtual things that no one will see

I took yesterday off from work due to feeling like crap, which gave me a lot more time to devote to gaming. Or at least that’s what I thought it would do. As it turns out, I simply devoted my time to doing weird time-wasting activities. Like going into Playstation Home. I hardly ever go there anymore. But the lure of Halloween events was too great, and I had to see what there was to see. Turns out the main plaza is nice and festive this time of year, and there’s a big pumpkin in the center of the plaza where you can play a game and win some cool Halloween-themed outfits. Except every time I tried to play it would boot me. I still have not gotten to play it.

Then I saw in the mall they were selling these strange “pets” that you could put in your Home space. If you bought the tombstone, little ghosts would come out and wander around. If you bought the belfry, bats would come out! I figured they would go great with my current Home space, the Ghostbusters Firehouse, and snatched them both up. The ghosts are great, they’re classic Pac-Man-esque sheet kinda ghosts. You get 3 ghosts per tombstone and 3 bats per belfry, so the Firehouse is very lively now with paranormal activity. I took a picture, then just stood there and felt silly, as no one has ever come to my Home space, so I bought things that no one is ever going to see, and really, why else would you decorate your Home space??

Regardless, little ghosts and bats. Gotta love ‘em!
