Man can I pick a title to catch your eye or what?
Let’s face it, we can’t keep all of those “freaky types” out of PlayStation Home, so what better way to include that crowd than to get the spokesperson for emo and douche in none other than Criss Angel. Yeah, don’t worry, I did check online, and his damn name in fact has two “s’s” in it. Also in the freaky category is the Batcave hideaway for Playstation Home (more on that later).
As you can see by now, I’m not a terribly big fan of Criss Angel. I guess I don’t really get the whole goth infested eyeliner magician thing? Sure, I guess it is the complete opposite of cleaner magicians that take baths like Copperfield and Lance Burton, but do magicians really need to sell out to get their name out there? I really don’t see David Blain Wheaties or The Amazing Jonathan TV specials anymore with commercials of his new backpack line to show the kids at school just how crazy hardcore you are.
Okay, I might be ripping on Mr. Angel just a tad too much here, but come people, magicians are shady street walking people. Don’t you think if they can turn your ripped up $1 on the street into $5 dollars that they would be incredibly rich? Oh wait, they kinda already are. Well, nevermind.
Coming soon to PlayStation Home you will be able to put your Home self into a contest to receive the Criss Angel authorized coffin table as well as receiving a free coffin looking couch for free. This is all to ramp up buzz for his 5 day special on A&E about his 5 lives and 5 deaths. I personally won’t be tuning in or jumping in to Home for these apartment items, but it is good that they are continuing to release items and little trinkets for you to keep coming back.
The other item that needs telling of is the dark, dank, drippy, and devilishly good looking Batcave of the Dark Knight in PlayStation Home (that’s as many d’s as I could fit!). For purchasing Batman: Arkham Asylum (which you should just do anyways) and plopping the game in, you will be given exclusive access to your very own slice of the Dark Knight’s lair. This will also include your very own Batmobile that you can’t drive and a few viewing cases for all of your bat gadgets that you will never be able to use. I’m hoping eventually in PlayStation Home they will unlock this and you WILL be able to use them. What better way to say hello to your buddy as you slice his skull open with a Batarang? I can’t think of too many.
The Batcave will be available as soon as you purchase Batman: Arkham Asylum and get home to put it in (August 25th). The Criss Angel douchebag apartment gear will be available this Sunday when they upload the videos into Home. But the question is, do you care enough to log in for this?
the real question is this: What sucks harder, Criss Angel or PS Home?
The Mindfreak 5 premiere was less about the same old same old illusions and more of the public display of affection between a 41 yr old man and his underage girlfriend. I was not Mindfreaked but Mindpuked. When did showcasing oneself as a pedafile ever become cool?
I am glad that it isn’t just me who found his display of affection with his teenager girlfriend on his show very tasteless.
Criss’ girlfriend is over 21. He displayed the same emotions with his then-wife JoAnn in Season 1 with the “Buried Alive” episode. If you were going to be buried alive with real risk of dying, I think you’d want to display a bit of affection towards your significant other, hug your friends and family, etc., too.

SANDRA IS A TEENAGER. SHE IS A KID.
I think Criss is afraid to be with a grown up lady. He looks like a fool with Sandra. She is still a child.
I am waiting to see Criss Angel do some real magic and turn his teenaged girlfriend Sandra into a real woman!!!
He looks so stupid dating a kid. Criss wake up your not a college boy.
