Items tagged with 'Cake'

It’s that time again! When you boot up your copy of LittleBigPlanet 2 today, you’ll notice a game update available, 1.02. Following the new tradition, it’s got the name of a cake and this time it’s called: Apple Cake. Purely because Charlotte in our Testology team made some very delicious Apple Cake for everyone yesterday morning. Nom!

It’s not a huge update, but it does contain some fixes for some issues that some players have been experiencing. Here are the release notes!

• Fixed an issue where a player that imports a profile from a different user and declines the EULA can still play online. It should no longer be possible for a player that imports another users profile and declines the EULA to play online, selecting an online option should prompt them to re-read and accept/decline the EULA.
• Fixed an issue whereby a client leaving an online create session would hang when they opted to use the “Import Profile” option after being returned to their pod.
• Fixed an issue where some Japanese store text descriptions contained visible HTML tags.
• Fixed an issue where players that had imported beta profiles and were using DLC assets they didn’t own could still use them. In 1.01 we fixed a problem to do with importing assets from the beta trial build which allowed users access to some rare DLC items. Part of the fix was to check for stripped assets and not allow a user to select them in pop-it. The item however would still be visible in pop-it and have an exclamation mark over its icon. Players could highlight one of these items and very quickly press the O and X buttons with it highlighted which would allow the user to still wear it.

It’s Spaff’s 30th birthday today - so in amongst the hustle and bustle of everything that’s going on in the office right now - there was a welcome opportunity for the team to NOM down on some very fine triple chocolate cake. And of course, sing Happy Birthday to the man himself.

Spaff will of course be celebrating in style throughout the weekend and come December, enjoying a very special week in Scotland. IN A CASTLE. He might have told you this already…

Anyway - here’s wishing Spaff a very Happy 30th Birthday! Feel free to leave your love in the comments :)

Every now and again we get sent pictures of amazing LittleBigPlanet cakes made by crafty bakers with lots of talent. Well, faced with his Son Lautaro’s first birthday at the weekend, Mark decided there was only one course of action – to turn his talents to the world of cakes, and create this masterpiece.

It might not be as grand as some, but we think it does the job rather nicely don’t you?  Happy Birthday Lautaro! :)

Jim Unwin is our resident king of awesome haircuts, user interface master,  cliff climber, and a member of our team of incredible artists. Using his powers of design, he created this colourful Threadless shirt entitled Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, an immensely positive message to say the least.

It’s been on the internetwebs for what feels like five minutes, but in the grand tradition of internet culture, it has already been made into a cake!

Wait a second, make that two cakes!

That’s enough to make it a meme – any bakers out there want to try their hand at a Jim Unwin Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes cake? I know I will be giving it a go soon. If you want to get your hands on the shirt that spawned two a thousand cakes, you can do so over on Threadless.
