The Suns opened up the Players Lounge and their Training Room
by: Sarah

VLRT IMGThe Suns have opened up two new locations on their Virtual Locker Room, the Players Lounge and the Training Room.

I went straight for the Training Room and at first glance it seemed O.K. The loading for everything is a bit quicker than before, but still is unappealing for people who just came to check it out. When you enter the Training Room you first hear Sean Marks say “I can’t feel my feet” as he sits in an ice bath. If you go to the right you get to watch Dan Majerle ride stationary bike.

After the Training Room I hit up the Players Lounge and played some billiards with Shaq, or rather just clicked the table and it did its little flash thing. Over on the computer the Suns Dancers have a solitaire game, but it isn’t like normal solitaire, it lets you put red on red and black on black, so it is super easy and super boring. Go click on the TV and play a frogger-style Gorilla game.

Overall the site is slow, and boring. Check it out for yourself, but I do not believe it is worth the wait involved. The majority of the slowness comes from the lame green screen’s that the players do, which all pretty much lagged out when I went to the site.

Suns Virtual Locker Room
by: Stuart

We posted a kick ass commercial a couple week back about Steve Nash and The NBA “Where Amazing Happens” now we have something new that just launched from the Suns that could end up being very cool, The Suns Virtual Locker Room.

It’s not a lot different than many other “green screen” flash driven interactive time wasters but this one looks like it will go pretty deep and have some funny stuff in it for Suns fans and anyone that likes to dig around.
