I find it's easier to keep the 360 networked with my PC so I can watch the porn stored in my computer on my big screen TV. I mean, 120 gigs isn't nearly enough, whereas my PC has over 500 gigs of pornographic possibilities.

Osgood is way up on the all time wins list, and I have to say, he's got to be the least talented goalie to play more than 1 season in the NHL. Seriously, how does such an average goalie end up with so many games played?

Well, the game was only like 20 hours, so it can't be too repetitive I enjoyed the story and characters. I definitely think the setting was incomplete, but Bioware has been using IP's for years and it's not easy to develop your own universe, particularly in a short time. Dragon Age has had a lot more development time, so I'm hoping the universe will be more fleshed out. So bashing Bioware sure seems to be the popular flavor this year, even before the EA buyout. What's the deal?

Yeah, all the details point to that game totally sucking.

Wow, I've always known Jagr had world class talent, but I didn't expect him to spit teeth on to the bench and go right back on the ice. I'm pretty sure those years in DC where folks questioned his commitment are now officially left behind. Woohoo, Setoguchi scored 2 goals in his debut. Hopefully he can be the new Cheechoo for Thornton.

So by living up to the series, do you mean it should have just ended suddenly about an hour in? I kid, I just love both Serenity nd Firefly, and I hope we see something out of that universe again.

He doesn't have the space. I think I know too much about Hades

Huh, I love Return of the Jedi and it still keeps my attention when I come across it today. The whole Jabba battle is second only to Hoth for me. But I was young when they came out and enjoyed the Ewoks. But I do agree folks are overly critical about the prequels. The problem seems to lie more in the acting. There just isn't a Harrison Ford in the prequels, and that's a bad thing.

Uh...the point of this thread is that a 360 is going to be bought regardless of all the console bashers. It was just a question of what package. Oddly enough, when I see a thread about something I'm not into, I don't go into it. I know I know, odd concept.

Get the bigger hard drive. I use my hard drive all the time. Every demo I've downloaded is also over 512 mb., so you'd be missing out on that opportunity.

Lord of the Rings Online is actually one of the best written games I've played bar none. The epic quest line is as good or better than most single player RPG's I've played.

28 Weeks Later - Not nearly as good as the original. I was pretty baffled by the military decisions in the movie. It was basically one odd decision after another. Did they even have an evacuation plan? Why are choppers shooting at cars if the infected can't drive? Why put a huge crowd of unaffected people in a room with flimsy doors and then leave almost no guards at those doors? Why were all the doors so easy to break down? Why leave someone you've tied down with restraints completely alone when obviously they should be closely guarded? Eh, it was just odd all around.

Me too. Damn, it looks gorgeous, it plays gorgeous. Yerli was right when he said console shooters (I look at you Bioshock) are 5 years behind. It's just a shame that I have to play it with low Shadows, med textures, and 1024 res to get somewhat decent framerates. This game deserves to be played on a QuadCore/DX10 rig. Getting it on release and playing it with compromised settings vs. waiting a half year for my new rig and playing it with everything up, that's just a tough thing to decide! Consoles fall behind in the tech race about ten minutes after the console company begins thinking about releasing one. But the Wii has shown that a console doesn't need to be high tech to serve its purpose.

I just beat Portal and it was awesome. Despite it's very short length, I'd say that alone was worth the price of the Orange Box. The ending song was simply priceless. I also thought the gameplay time was perfect, much longer would have made me tired of the puzzles.

The camera takes awhile to get used to. It's not great and has occassional hickups, but I'd hardly consider it a deal breaker. After a couple hours, it's pretty easy to keep the camera out of trouble. There are also quite a few options now for camera adjustment. Load times are way better than they were at launch.

Against my better judgement, I have joined the group.

It's totally true. Mats Sundin faces off alone against entire NHL squads every night. Sure, he dies in the end, but it's impressive along the way.

Can we discuss the Witcher please? I don't believe it's been released. It's clearly vaporware, and this is just another ruse.

That's not the last battle. It's really only about halfway through the game actually. And honestly, if you've yet to play it, it's not much of a spoiler. You don't know who Lorne is or anything about his storyline, so nothing has really been revealed.

I'm going to hold off until it's around $30 or Episode 2 is around $15... Always have a game in back up in case the one you are playing fails. DS failed in keeping my attention. Back to basics. And Bloodlines is a great game to fall back on... Wow...the Orange box is already ridiculously cheap considering everything that is in it. TF2 and Portal alone are worth the $50.

I'm sure once they have a few modules, they'll do a full re-release of the game like they did with NWN.

Wow, Toews is a talented kid. He'll definitely be a top goal scorer in the upcming years. He also might be the frontrunner for rookie of the year honors.

Well you do, if you play EA-games. As for EA catering to RPG connaisseurs and those with a taste for quality and innovation - not in a million years. J. Wow. Are you roleplaying now, or do you really buy into this haughty, high and mighty, superiority schtick you got going?

I like the way Boston is playing this season. They look hunfry and desperate, and Thomas is playing surprisingly well in goal. If they keep it up, I think they'll manage a playoff appearance.

You were gone? Er, I mean, of course we missed you! The NHL thread has been quiet without you
