Heeyyy, inter-net. On September 8th, Sony’s going to release a “Game of the Year” edition of LittleBigPlanet. It seems like a popular thing to do – several other games are releasing “Game of the Year” editions – but I guess you can’t call it “One of Many Games of the Year” because it doesn’t quite roll off the tongue. For this fancy edition, they got some people from the community to make some new levels for it. If you play the game, you will find out that one of those people is me!

The level is called “Cereal Isle”, and I’m not sure how this part’s going to work, but there might be a video of me talking about it before the level starts. Again, I don’t know exactly how they’re incorporating it, or if they even are at all, but they shot some video of me being genuine and boring, so the potential is there. Prepare to laugh. Here is a photo of them setting up video equipment in my living room.

So go buy a copy, or borrow one, or take it out from the library. Or don’t. Either way is cool.

If you want a little window to pop up and let you know when I am and am not watching “Enchanted” on Blu-Ray, my PSN name is “TangoCharlieESQ”.

In other LittleBigPlanet news, my Flight sister*, Vera Brosgol, made a sticker pack that you can download for money. Look how great it is! They even re-jigged the Media Molecule website with all her pretty pictures. That girl is a fine drawer.

* Do not ask her to confirm this comment.

Update. If you haven’t tried this game, and you own a Pee Ess Three, apparently you can go download a demo. Hot sauce! Also in that link, they answer burning questions about how you’ll access the new Gee Oh Tee Ouai bonus levels BY ME and they call me one of the eighteen “super users”. My cousin was a “super user” once, but he got cleaned up. Now he owns a car dealership. Improvement? QUESTIONABLE.

Finally, after several weeks of work, I’ve published my first LittleBigPlanet level. To find it, fire up LBP, go to the search feature, and enter “Tender Buttes”. It should come up. Click through for some more screens, some planning drawings, and a little bit of griping.

Update: Media Molecule picked Tender Buttes as one of their… uh… picks of the week! Also, there’s a video of someone playing it, and not finding ANY of the awesome secrets! The video’s after the break.
