As the sun sets on another fine Monday, the PlayStation Blog delivers some interesting news for all you Trophy nuts out there that want to brag on Facebook. According to a blog post by Director of PlayStation Network Operations Eric Lempel, firmware update version 3.10 will introduce Facebook connectivity to the PS3 and the PlayStation Network.

The new update aion kinah enables PS3 users to link their Facebook accounts with their PlayStation Network accounts via the Account Management submenu. Once linked, users can then opt to share a variety of information directly on their Facebook profile. For example, you can share Trophy information or your PlayStation Store purchases. Once enabled, users receive a prompt during normal PSN perusal that asks if the information silkroad online gold should be posted to Facebook.

Lempel does not mention when the update will be available, but if the timing of past is ragnarok online zeny anything to go by, users can expect 3.10 sometime this week.

I'm a wee bit late, since everybody played Ghost Stories back in Helcon last year, but I got it now as the Finnish version was published and we got it cheap aion kinah on the table today with Johanna - and got promptly butchered. It's one hell of a difficult game!

I suppose that's good, as beating the game is an actual challenge and I suppose that'll keep some people playing the game until they beat it and even then there's more replay value, but I'm pretty sure it'll be a turn-off for some, too. Kind of curious they did a Finnish translation, but I guess it's one of those "good chance to make a small print run" opportunities and Lautapelit.fi isn't going for the mass market with this one.

I'm not sure how I like the difficulty. The game looks splendid, if a bit busy, and silkroad online gold seems a pain to explain. Well, now I understand the game better, having played it, so explaining it might be easier. I'm not terribly keen on it and I don't think it'll stay, but I do want to give it a four-player go - solid 75% of Geek voters thinks it's best with four.

 
A while ago I got a chance to play Steam over Holland. I introduced two of the locals to 18xx, since I've got those DIY projects and the DTG order - those are mostly more complicated stuff, not very good for newbies. So, Steam over Holland, the friendly newbie game!

I was actually quite happy to try the game with just three players, because my earlier experience seemed to indicate that's the best number of players. It is - there's enough money in the game to make things more interesting. It's still a bit quiet on the stock market front, but we got five companies running well, which was nice.

I won hands down, no surprises there. I suppose the guys got a pretty good idea on some of the dangers with the trains. Petri got to deliver a maple mesos nasty punch for me with a train purchase, after which I caused one of Hannu's companies to go bankrupt with the next train type.

Fun game, the boys enjoyed it, we played swiftly - slightly over three hours, including rules, setup and cleanup! - and my new Sidepot Venerati poker chips were great.
