Hoverbike races are out today. Reminds me of those arcade games where you sit on a motorcycle and tilt to steer. Also first Home game to use Sixaxis I believe.

I just wiki'd that and there's an interesting note in the article
The region around the town is well-known for its high Jess quality Hungarian wines.
Is that even a real sommelier term?

Then they have something in common w/ you.
Seeing as you are gracing us with such witty rancor. Rather then say making an impact in your neighborhood.
Or perhaps you could do some charity & lay a lonely elderly woman, who has only had the companionship of the feline variety for 30 yrs.

The text-adventure is in Alphazone 1, marked with A1. You need to go talk to the robot to get missions, and figure out how to get butterflies.
Here is a link to all the answers and shit you have to do, if you don't care about trying to figure it out on your own.

Wollan, thanks for a heads up on the new April 6 content!
Okay, so I started playing Xi, but I have a question:
Back when I originally tried to start Xi, I got some sort of error. Today, when I loaded it again and automatically entered the hub, I wasn't presented w/ the cutscene, or the voice, and just walked around, tried tinkering with the web portal thing, and whatnot.
Something to note was that the giant barrier with Xi on it wasn't there, nor was Stapler's model.
And being the fool I am, I chose not to see what was beyond that black abyss that's now blocked by the giant wall.
Did I just miss a giant freaking opportunity to see something cool, or do you get to go past that after some point?
I didn't know it was technically supposed to be blocked off when I went and found the panel where you can cancel your Xi progression, and now I'll never know
Unless someone else experienced the same thing and youtubed it...

Next ot the entrance, there is a panel you can use to deactivate. This resets Xi so you can see it from scratch if you exit/reenter.
New Xi space today.
The manhole in Home Square has opened.
I don't think the NA space has been updated because the Hub ticker message seems to acknowledge something about this for North American players. I haven't personally checked it out though.
Anyways, the new space has a puzzle that needs to be solved. It's straight forward but still pretty cool that they implemented that functionality into a quest.

This week has been thin on content. Hard puzzle today but nothing fancy.
Seems likely that AlphaZone 2 will open up soon which should be cool (and where does the elevators go?).
The arg is one month old today, definitely seems like there's enough objectives to go for another month.

We've got like seventeen fragments and twelve butterflies to go... I thought that they would have it finished by E3 and have something to do with E3, but they'd need to really pick up the pace here. Sony's Conference is in five weeks and six days, so 41 days for another 29 missions... I guess if we get one a day until their conference, that could happen... But it'll likely happen a little after E3 is over.

The new challenge is pretty cool. They created a LittleBigPlanet level that you play in order to get the next password.
Seems like tomorrow or the following day is when the secret of Xi is revealed.
I have 20 out of 20 butterflies and 23 out of 24 fragments.
If we get and solve fragment 24 tomorrow the Xi portal will open. If you've been following XI you should probably make sure you're up to date if there's some kind of reward or something.

It's an internal story in the Arg.
What Xi is though remains a secret, could be anything.
A firm named Veilcorp is after Xi (which seemingly Jess made?) and a lot of internal intrigue has been going on and betrayals..etc. Jess is still on the run.
The whole arg is cool because it creates a fictional lore about Home itself.
