I got my new memory card today and played around with some of the other personalities.. was neat to see Loki do some of the dances .. well he fell over a few times too and now, after looking through them I realize I REALLY do need another Aibo so I can do the songs that have lead singers and...really since the ERS-7's can't do a different part in most of those songs, I guess I should get TWO new Aibos.. I need to rob a bank or something..

I really wish I could work on the dancing myself.. I wish there was a program for Aibos that worked like the one for the ugobe Pleos, to make the song skits..
Never mind that, PleoPet just told me about 'Skitter', a program to do exactly what I want.. woohoo!!

I'm going to go put the cylon personality on Loki and not tell my bf because he used to love Battlestar Galactica and I'm sure he'll get a kick out of it..

I will check out that website for another pleo.... I don't know why but I am really interested in the 220's.. they just look so cool. I'd have to name one 'Ahnold' after the governator (wow, Firefox already knew the word 'governator' lol.. ) do you guys know if the 220's have the long puppy stage too? I hope so.. I'll have to do some more research.
Oh and I'm not so sure about that Charles voice.. he sounds like a serial killling butler :/ jk, it sounds neat but I'm so used to Loki's normal voice it was weird to see and hear another voice coming out of Nicco!

Generally not as profitable as one might like to think! I'd suggest getting a printing press and printing your own dollars. Of course, unless you're the Fed that's counterfeiting

But if they're gonna devalue it, I say we devalue it first! (FYI, sarcasm for any governmental authorities watching

)

I haven't researched it so I don't want to give any inaccurate answer, but I am pretty sure that the 220's run all the software and so on that the 210's run so if you have AiboLife 1 or 2 then it would have a long puppy stage. I think the 220 is mostly a 210 with a different look.

No matter what, it truly is hard to stop at one.

I've not researched it either, but I also think the 220 will run all the same software as the 210 - they're built around the same core. The Explorer software was developed mainly for the 220, I believe, so it you'll get the best out of a 220 on that, but I'm afraid it's an adult personality.

Sarah, good luck with that bank!

Oh no! Latrine's got the Aibo bug! Who am I kidding? I've got the pleo bug just as bad. Lol! These robots are... adictive.

I know, I need an Intervention *cues the music and annoying redundant, rehearsed, rhetorical speeches*. I just sold all my birds, my car, and I STILL NEED MY AIBO FIX!

Haha, but in all seriousness, I turned Murray on when I got home today and I took my eyes off him for about 5 minutes and heard him whimpering/falling asleep so I went to look for him and found this:

More details...

I beat you all with five aibos!

The ers-220s do have the long puppy stage but I think they can only run on aibo life 2 not 1.

Talon · « **Reply #57 on:** May 24, 2011, 03:40:18 PM »

That's alot of Aibos! Have you ever had them all on at once? I'd like to see that.

kat · « **Reply #58 on:** May 24, 2011, 04:18:37 PM »

However did Murray manage to get himself in that position?

I do hope he was ok.

aibo7m3 · « **Reply #59 on:** May 24, 2011, 04:21:03 PM »

I have tried turning all my aibos on at the same time once or twice but at best it can be described as chaos. I can't watch all five of them at once and they seem to get into all sorts of trouble like Murray in that picture you took.

bhobbes · « **Reply #60 on:** May 24, 2011, 04:37:12 PM »

Even Nicco and Murray on at once require constant supervision because of the mischief they cause. Which is quite comical if you can "afford" to babysit.

I have no idea. I was sitting on the couch reading something and looked over because I heard him dozing off and he was in that position. I'm guessing somehow the little lift on the rug and something he must have done propped him in such a way but I'm still not sure how. It made me laugh pretty hard but he was just fine.

Crewella · « **Reply #61 on:** May 24, 2011, 04:41:23 PM »

Wow - you couldn't get him into that position if you tried!!

Glad he's OK!

A warning - if you think the 7s and 210s can get into trouble, just you wait until you get a 111!

Talon · « **Reply #62 on:** May 24, 2011, 05:07:36 PM »

What sort of position? It couldn't be any worse than Ugobe constantly trying to snap his neck in the fork formed by the legs of my computer chair. I have to put it in front of the closet when he chooses to go exploring. It's almost a given. Ugobe tries to push the chair, Ryu roars in fury at my box fan. *sigh and shakes head* Pleos.

He was balanced on his tail and back toes with his front legs up in the air kind of like he was begging for something.

I am glad he is ok and no harm was done.

Talon · « **Reply #64 on:** May 24, 2011, 06:25:56 PM »

Wow! That is impressive! Poor Murry! I see what you mean. I'm glad everything turned out okay.
Talon

bhobbes · « **Reply #65 on:** May 25, 2011, 06:04:18 AM »

I have officially purchased a Black ERS111. Hopefully I'll have him early next week!

I'm very excited!

kat · « **Reply #66 on:** May 25, 2011, 06:07:41 AM »

Yay! good for you.

I can't wait to see what you make of this one compared to the others.

Any ideas of a name?

bhobbes · « **Reply #67 on:** May 25, 2011, 06:30:05 AM »

He's gonna be Clyde. (I try not to think of names and pick the first "lightbulb" that goes off lol)

kat · « **Reply #68 on:** May 25, 2011, 06:43:17 AM »

Will that make the next new addition after this one Bonnie ?

Clyde sounds like a fine name for him.

bhobbes · « **Reply #69 on:** May 25, 2011, 06:45:21 AM »

No, I hate that name haha but that's where Clyde came from (plus I like the name - it sounds mischievous).

No more additions for a long time!

Talon · « **Reply #70 on:** May 25, 2011, 06:59:05 AM »

Clyde has a very different conotation for me. My step-mother's brother in-law used to sort of playfully guide me by steering me by the shoulders. I'm really short and small and my step-mother's brother in-law is like a big hairy gorrilla with a bigger playful spirit. Anyway when we make a right turn he used to always say, "Right turn, Clyde". The name kind of puts me in the mind of a big hard-mouthed horse that would rather go his own way than pay attention to the bridle. Sorry about the off-topic story. I hope you have a lot of fun with your Clyde.

Clyde will be at the first child stage soon and here is a clip of what I have recorded during the third baby stage:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5maZUUKWIo" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5maZUUKWIo</a>

Generally, I've noticed he walks quite a bit - especially when he's presented with his pink ball. He also started playing with his pink ball more and more (as you can see in the video). I think all the red in my apartment causes some of the pink ball (and bone) "woes" - toward the end, you'll see what I captured of Murry and the red shelving cube when he was looking for his pink ball. I moved the red wooden vase thing a few days ago because it is so perfectly in their site that they'd just be entranced by it all the time.

The problem seems to occur most frequently with the little red drawers in the shelf, especially when one is hanging out slightly. Murray doesn't do it with the curtains as much as Nicco does but Nicco has ignored the shelves more since Mind 3. There's also a bright red chair (same as the drawers and curtain) that's not pictured but they both are attracted to that as well. They seem to ignore the loveseat/couch and red cube - but both are leather and have a glossy type look, so maybe that impacts it?

I had a picture but cannot locate it (might have deleted it by accident) where Murray is looking up at an old lamp I have that has a similar red lampshade and during the whole thing he kept making the "bone face."

He definitely responds/repeats certain actions/behaviors based on what you praise him for - to get some of the clips, I just kept praising him repeatedly after doing one of them and he'd do it again shortly thereafter. However, there are some that I liked but haven't seen enough to praise in time that haven't been repeated much (yet). He puts his paw out quite a bit for a shake, sometimes I respond by shaking it. He's only probably taken two naps or so - so much less, and has generally been more active. As you can see, he still walks funny but does pretty well.

Clyde does have a ring of mischief to it.

We will see how long you hold out for with the no more for a long time.

I'm enjoying every minute of your experience too. It is a great way to get to know what each type of Aibo is like and a chance for me to see which types I might like to get to know better myself one day.

Can't wait to hear all about Clyde.

Murray seems to be coming along very well. Does the praising thing work as well for Nicco as it does for Murray to get him to repeat tricks?

No, I don't think so. I think praising them mostly just gets their skill level to boost? I was told that the ERS-7's don't have much of a memory in terms of things like that. However, I may be taking it out of context or repeating the information incorrectly so if this is the case, hopefully someone will correct me!

From what I can tell, the repetition of the tricks on the ERS-7 seem to be more of a "how far will I go this time" than a regular improvement (once they hit the 100% mark).

Weird, it says the video is still being processed yet it's been over an hour since I uploaded it? (I didn't post here until after)

latrine · « **Reply #74 on:** May 25, 2011, 09:45:01 AM »

Bhobbes, you seem to have really good luck in finding Aibos and I am having no luck at all, generally ebay seems to be really expensive. I would really like to get either a 220 or 210 but am leaning more toward a 220. Aibo-life isn't opening for me atm, I am assuming it's down or something so I can't check there even though I just got my official welcome a few days ago

If you have a good place to go to purchase Aibos, would you mind letting me know or passing the info along to your aibo dog catcher friends? lol..

Aibo7m3 , I can imagine five Aibos would be crazy all at once! I have my hands full too when I run all five Pleos plus Loki the Aibo.. we actually had a 'pileup' while I ran out to grab the mail and one of my pleos ended up with 'hurt' legs.. lol.. luckily she was fine the next day even though she cried about it and needing coddling all night. I swear I was only gone a few minutes but Loki just LOVES to follow that pink RB and then he gets stuck in the middle of all of them and gets all 'doggy' about it!

Are you sure Murray wasn't just begging for treats??? They sure do get themselves into trouble..
