During the years of 2008-2015 the PlayStation Network featured a social gathering platform known as PlayStation Home. This social
experience ran during some of the best years of our clans history and offered us a PDOG clubhouse which we used for clan meetings
and festivities. Of course while many members were more likely to jump on Call of Duty rather than launch Home, it was still a
great past time from the normal routine. Our clan started with the basic clubhouse and eventually expanded to The Moon Forest.
As our clan popularity increased we started providing challenges like scavenger hunts and secret passkey games right from within Home. Annual PDOG Bashes were a big draw that usually offered members with FREE Bank Points for participating in clubhouse activities.
As soon as much of the popularity grew and many more people were starting to join our clan I started photographing much of the time we spent in PlayStation Home. These memories were posted on many social media outlets we ran during those days and many of which featured here today have never been seen before.
In April of 2015 when the dreadful day came and PlayStation Home closed it's doors forever I just couldn't delete the application. I believe it sat on my XMB for a good 3 years before an update one day removed it for me. I vowed that one day I would revisit one of my familiar clubhouses and a personal favorite space that held plenty of PDOG Bashes.
Seven years later I got to work in 3D Studio Max and with a handful of old in-game screenshots and tons of re-imagination I brought back The Basic Clubhouse and The Lakeside Log Cabin personal space. Pictured below are the pre-alpha and final renditions of the PlayStation Home locations I grew very fond of over the years of operation.
