Jer still thinks that no one can play games he does not like, and godforbid might enjoy them.

[jer7583]

They keep doing it, PC gamers will keep on saying it.

Don't be jealous cause the platform is superior to consoles.

Show me a $280 (or even $350) PC that plays Gears 1 or 2 (Or DMC4, or Fallout 3, or Assassin's Creed, etc. etc.) equal to 360 and this discussion will be over. You get what you pay for. End of discussion.

Awww, does it hurt your feelings?

I don't know if COD4 still is the most played game, but last I checked it was.

And even if it isn't anymore, the fact that COD4 was more played than Halo 3 at all is a pretty hard thing to achieve.

No, it just gave me a good chuckle. I did endure Call of Duty 4 and if people wish to spend their time with it, their loss. I do realize you probably threw that Halo 3 bit in there to rile me up. Having fun with that? TF2 is better than all of them.

You make up the extra hardware costs on PC with the reduced price in games.

Lets see I just got universe at war, kane and lynch, stranglehold and timeshift on my pc.

All at target for 12 dollars.

52 dollars for all 4 games.
Lets do this console wise.

60*4= 240 for the same games on a console. With worse frame-rates, screen tearing and on 360s case online you have to pay for.

There is 200 dollars I just saved in 1 day on games.

That paid for my videocard.

The savings on PC gaming is huge compared to teh consolez.

[whoknows]

Holy shit, COD4 was the #1 selling game of 2007.

If Activision was smart they'd tell Treyarch to fuck off and let Infinity Ward start on the next one.

[jer7583]

But see, the problem there is you're playing Stranglehold, Kane and Lynch, and Timeshift. You would have really saved your money by not buying bad games.

Admitting that nobody is buying PC games and they're clearanced for $12 isn't the best way to defend a platform, either. Besides, I'd probably have to use a PC if I played PC games, and that's not happening.

No No.

Nothing is inherently wrong with windows.

Its all user error and stupid shits that do not know what they are doing.

Kane and Lynch, and Stranglehold are quite good games on the PC and dont suffer from the death that is a controller.

I also like my stuff to work when I want it to.

Unlike my xbox that does not happen alot.

6 consoles in 2 and a half years.

Ive had 1 PC that has never crashed on me ever. In the past 2 and a half years.
Plus we have Blizzard which is automatically better then 98% of the devs that are on consoles.

I mean they happened to make the best game of all time.

[daroga]

I couldn't give a shit about GAMMA on teh interwebz.It's not really grammar. It's forming a coherent thought that conveys at all what you mean it to rather than the direct opposite. ;)

And we're back on the PC vs. Consoles again? They're pretty different beasts, so who cares? I use my PC as a work and communication tool and my game consoles to play games on. You play games on your PC. Whoop-de-do.

I'm more than content playing systems I can sit on my couch while playing on my nice TV and surround system. I'll take a $5-$10 premium on games to not have to dink around with anything either. But to each their own. :)

[jer7583]

StarCraft is possibly my favorite game ever ATM, and StarCraft 2 will be the greatest game ever when it comes out.

Not sure which one of Blizzards game's your thinking of, but SC is my favorite.

Another PC gamer here. My 360 would be abandoned if it wasn't for VF5. It suffered the same fate as its older brother; being reduced to a poor man's PC. I still like my 360, but if given a choice between a 360 and PC version, I go PC unless something is deathly wrong with the PC version. Can't wait for Mass Effect PC. I'm so glad I didn't buy it for 360 and just rented it.

Ninja Gaiden 2 is the next 360 game I cannot wait for. And it won't end up on PC.

I'm not trying to stir shit up, but you can't nail someone for bitching about games they don't play and then turn around that a game no one has played yet will be the best. Could happen, could not, but it's a bit hypocritical. I really couldn't care less either way on the PC/console stuff as it's a personal preference, as a disclaimer.

Unless Blizzard seriously fucks up SC2 (which they probably won't) then I don't think what I said is too crazy :-P

They could just add one new unit to the game and a new campaign and it would be the greatest game ever (to me).

EDIT: Besides, being so excited for a game that I say it'll be the greatest game ever is a little different than bashing a game that's already out that I've never played.

Q6600 processor, 8800GT video card, 2GB of OCZ RAM... or G.Skill, any socket 775 motherboard (preferably Asus), 150 for a case and power supply, and a hard drive

Only thing my PC is missing for gaming is a good video card, but I didn't really buy it for gaming. Mostly for development. So 3GB of RAM was more enticing than a 512MB card, but the Q6600 is quite lovely. I can also put another graphics card in there if I felt like it.

But mine was $1200 so it wasn't exactly a bargain. But I like Dell.

Botticus:

Look around and you could find an 8800gt 512 for a tad over 200. If you are gonna play at lower resolutions I would say go with the 256 mb card. That is if you want to see what PC gaming is like, and what playing Final Fantasy 12 with 16xAF and 8xAA running at 60fps is like.

On my PSN buddy list, out of 50, 15 were on once playing CoD4, and I didn't even add people I met in CoD4. And that doesn't even include everyone who has CoD4. I was a bit unsure about it, but peer pressure made me buy. Glad I did and I love it.

I don't know why I'm building a computer anyway, all I do is browse the web and play dated PC games anyway. So far I got an Athlon 64 X2 5000+, 2GB Corsair XMS RAM, and an Antec P182, which comes out to about $250 before rebates kick in. I still need a mobo, a power supply, a monitor, an HD, a disc drive, and Windows XP before I can bring it online, then I need to round it out with a decent sound system, peripherals, and a sexy graphics card and I'm good to go...

...good to go play advanced PC games like ULTIMA 7 and ZSNES and TRANSPORT TYCOON DELUXE.

So Belkin wasn't able to tell you why you aren't able to share the wireless connection? Because I'm pretty sure that's all you need. I did it on my laptop to check and all I did was share the wireless connection, I didn't even bridge the wireless and LAN connection and it worked.

I ended up getting this for the PS3 and am loving it. The only thing that is a con for me is that there's no rumble, so it's harder for to tell if I'm getting hit and stuff. Oh, and seeing Lu Bu in the first stage was cool.

I used to bridge a wireless and a wired connection.

Remember to turn off Windows Firewall.

I would just make a new LAN connection, and then bridge the wireless one together and it worked just fine.

Did it for a friend a couple weeks ago and it works for him just fine also.

[jer7583]

My problem is about 5 min after turning on the bridge, my wireless connection on the PC starts becoming unavailable for about 10 seconds, then connecting, then disconnecting, repeatedly, until the bridge is removed. None of it makes any sense.

I ended up getting this for the PS3 and am loving it. The only thing that is a con for me is that there's no rumble, so it's harder for to tell if I'm getting hit and stuff. Oh, and seeing Lu Bu in the first stage was cool.Since I got some extra $$$ at GS, I might trade in more games so I don't have to pay anything for it. But overall, I gotta decide between DW6, Lost Odyssey, or 2-3 PSP games (like Wipeout Pulse and Patapon).

If I had to choose between those, I'd pick Lost Odyssey.

[The Mana Knight]

If I had to choose between those, I'd pick Lost Odyssey.Well, my situation is usually I choose JRPG over anything else, but I have more imcomplete JRPGs than any other genre by far. I honestly can't invest more than 5-6 hours in video games a week as of late (due to college keeping me busy), which is kind of why I want to wait, but the game is definitely something I want. DW games tend to do a little better in shorter sessions (and I tend to rack up a lot of time in them), but in some ways I want to wait. The two PSP games would be excellent, but then my handheld play time has gone down a little (except for today). I'll make a decision though. All I know of is there's no way I will miss out on Crisis Core (I preoredered), Hot Shots Golf: OoB, Mana Khemia (It will be limited and I'm a huge Mana fan), and Wild Arms XF (because XSeed games are limited usually).

I played the demos for Rez HD and N+ when I got home today. I liked Rez, contemplated a purchase and then N+ knocked it out of the park. That was an instant buy after the demo. I dig the style, there are plenty of levels and the promise of user-generated levels is a big plus.

After purchase, I couldn't put the controller down. Big fan.

[jer7583]

Do people really "compete" with achievements? maybe when the 360 first came out, but Achievements aren't at all about the overall point total, at least to me.

They're more about suggesting little stupid but fun things to do in games like crackdown and assassin's creed. Or adding a suggested structure to the game that isn't actually IN the game.

Oh yea some people compete. As mentioned in the 'accomplishment' thread, my one roommate won't play anything not on the 360 because he won't get achievements from it. Him and my other roommate actually borrow my games so they can get a higher score.

[whoknows]

I think in the latest EGM there was an article about some guy who played 6 hours a day or something for achievement points

[jer7583]

Well, I mean that's a group of maybe 100-200 people out of 10 million 360 owners that are really that competitive. Hardly representative of the majority.

I'd rather have achievements vs no achievements. They're fun. Acknowledgment from the developers that you did something they approve of. Just adds to the game, personally. I don't see how it could take anything away.

[gunm]

Don't get me wrong, achievements are fun and a great bonus to playing a game. But I just don't play for that alone. Whatever floats your boat, though.

We told you to buy the upgrade if that isn't good enough for you, then sell the fucking game. I also forgot you are the same person that said the guns make the action in DMC go to a grinding halt, right?:roll: Also for the last time the guy who stutters his name is Agnus, try and pay attention to the story Mr. I can't buy my own upgrades.

I'm about halfway thru Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. Playing it on my Cube's GBP is awesome. Some great 2D platforming on the big screen.

I think I would have to change my underwear if I heard that was really happening.

DL'ed the demo for DMC4. Felt much better than DMC or DMC3. Gonna have to pick that up when its cheap.

For now, I'm off of school for two days. Seeing Bon Jovi tonight which'll be a blast. I think I might throw in Ninja Gaiden Sigma today and give that a go-round.

Anyone venture outside of the video game arena on teh intrawebz? I swear, for any hobby or piece of entertainment, there is a forum devoted to extremists screaming at one another why something "sucks" or why something is the "best thing ever." It suddenly make some of the console war stuff not look so stupid by comparison. Which is horrid, because it's all immensely stupid.

I'm sorry to say you did come off sounding like a dick. I do have the speed upgrade, and on the rare occasion that I've got a good mile of track to get going and use it, it's nice, but it doesn't apply to battles. Don't take things so personally. Say something negative about Devil May Cry in this thread and the defense force just jumps on top of you.

Oh and the guns are worthless. Aren't they just for keeping your combo going, pretty much? I don't really ever use them.

Forza just may be the best realistic racing game ever made. So good. So cheap right now.

Realistic Racing Games make me yawn.

If I want to go race ill take out my shifter kart.

0-60 in 3 seconds and has a top speed of close to 180 mph.

Its faster then most of the things in Forza, and cheaper to run, and maintain.

I love the non realistic stuff alot though.

Sweet. I'm on a trip to the city today. There's a Linkin Park/Chiodos/Coheed and Cambria concert that my friends are convinced we can still get tickets for if we just show up today. It's at Madison Square Garden, so i really doubt it xD

Stay for Chiodos, and maybe a couple of Coheed songs, then GTFO before you get stabbed.

All I wanted to see was Chiodos. Though I do prefer The Sound of Animals Fighting cause it has Craig Owens and Anthony Green. Ohwell. Shiit. If I can get tickets, I'm going.

The new Linkin Park shit is trash. However, they are headlining the event xD

Forza 2 was too in depth for me. Too much tweaking and customization and whatnot, I just got lost in it. PGR4 is a step down from that and I'm liking it better. Give me arcadey racing though anyday.

Well I thought I was going to go buy a 360 once I beat NMH, but now I fear a new model or price drop being announced. GTA IV is right around the corner so the time is ripe. So now I'm either starting Burnout P or finally getting to the DVDs I haven't been watching.

[kainzero]

I like the realistic racing genre but it never seems right to me. Online everyone uses the same overpowered car. Offline there's not enough variance in the races and instead of everyone using the same overpowered car, you're the only one using the overpowered car.

I still like GT3 because of it's easy-mode drifting AKA sim tires.

[daroga]

Man, Sigma is slick. It's been a while since I played any of the NGs even remotely seriously. Just got the airship and saved. Friggin horse boss is such a pain in the butt. They added the "fight in the burning building" thing to Sigma right? I don't remember that at all in the original or even in the beginning of Black that I played a few months ago.

not worth it if you have Black. the extras in Sigma are "oooh, aaaah" worthy, but not really worth picking up a system for. plus you get screen tearing and load times in certain battles in Tairon, plus lots of tiny load times strewn throughout the game.

Wait for 2, it's only about 3 and a half months away. The demo alone can eat up all that time :)

Thanks for the info. I'm also fueled by that I might soon be grabbing a 1080p set for which a Blu-Ray Player would be nice to have. I really want to wait for the $300 price point though with a controller with rumble. Time will tell I guess. It's a good point though because besides NG the only other game I want to play is Uncharted.

I really don't mind if you have have a problem with the game Jer, nor do I really have a problem with you. It's just every time you mention the game you always say Nero is soooooo slow almost every single time you bring up the game. I just get sick of seeing it I get thats how you feel no need to mention it every single time. Like I said I am sorry if I sounded like a dick thar, didn't mean to come off like one. Also the Blue rose works great against the black flying demons if you buy the upgrade for the blue rose, makes them less of a pain to fight.

I'm gonna try and beat Aria of Sorrow this weekend and plug away at FF8 some more. My GF just got some new adventure game the other day and tried to play last night and got scared, so she wants me to come over this weekend so she won't have to play it alone. She's so wierd.

Here's hoping my Goozex copies of Ace Combat 6 and Kane & Lynch show up today. Would be nice to have some distraction from N+, don't want to burn through it too quickly.

I was getting pissed off at the 1st person controls in Sigma till I finally went into options and saw that I somehow set those controls to "reverse all." Awesome.

I'm not sure I ever used the Flying Swallow on purpose when I first played it. That move is devastating. And two swords for the price of one? Win.

I still liked the dragon sword the most. I felt like it was the most useful weapon but whateva.

[jer7583]

I'm pretty sure I saw dual swords in NG2. I might be thinking of the tonfa weapon though.

And don't get me wrong, DMC4 is real good. Most of my frustrations stem from wanting it to be Ninja Gaiden. That's my fault.

[Dark Slayer120]

I'll have to look later on GT and see if I can find a game play video of the dual swords in NGII. I thought for sure they had a game play video of them. I could be wrong as well, you guys think it will come out in June like stated or it will get delayed?

Condemned 2, of course I don't like racing games that much.

FES is the original "remixed" with new items and quests, along with an epilogue chapter called Episode Aigis.

The thing is we don't know yet which FES Atlus is releasing here. In Japan there were two versions. One that required you to have the original game, and one that didn't.

Since Burnout Paradise was trash, I think this answers itself.

[ThatDamnDave]

So is YourFree360Games really worth doing? Seems like a lot of people get stuff through there. What are the offer requirements like?

[jer7583]

Condemned 2 looks really good. You know how I feel about the abortion of the series that Burnout Paradise is.

I did some free stamp thing, and a month of blockbuster online that I will be canning.

Good to see we agree on Burnout Paradise ;)

So is YourFree360Games really worth doing? Seems like a lot of people get stuff through there. What are the offer requirements like?

Yes. I have gotten a few things free from them. If it is a credit card offer, just use a Visa gift card. I actually got GameFly and Netflix through this site. It is pretty cool. I wanted to try out both and I got a free game for doing so.

[SL4IN]

IMO Burnout Paradise was trash, I think this answers itself.

fixed. :)

I really like Burnout Paradise. The demo just didn't do it justice.

I played the full game. Still wasn't any better for me. I just don't like racing games with open worlds like that.

It was the first racing game to do it right.

IMO, Midnight Club 3 and NFSU 2 both tanked in that department, aside from the fact of just not being very solid racers.

[InuFaye]

Why does no one mention Test Drive: Unlimited?

I thought it did it better then the others did.

[red flare graf]

Wtf, a snake.

[SL4IN]

Why does no one mention Test Drive: Unlimited?

I thought it did it better then the others did.

Because no one plays Test Drive.

[InuFaye]

Test Drive was good though and only like 12 DOLLARS ON TARGET CLEARANCE!

[ThatDamnDave]

Wonder if people still play TDU online, I've had it on my trade list wants for awhile. I might nab it off Goozex during a lull.

[The Mana Knight]

Burnout rox. J00 guys sux.Agreed, Burnout is easily one of my favorite racers this generation. I just love the open worlds for once. Definitely feels like I'm driving in a real city. Only thing I hate is it gets frustrating at times. :-(

As for TDU, the demo turned me off (I think it did for some people) because of the controls and such. I considered over and over again giving the game a try, but never did.

[Kendal]

Hey Inu, did your Lost Odyssey ship yet?

[InuFaye]

I ordered it today.

It is supposed to ship next thursday.

[Kendal]

Ok. It is taking a little longer than normal. I can't wait to play it!

[ThatDamnDave]

So should I sign up for YourFree360Games under someone's referral? Does that help?

[InuFaye]

yes sign up under me.

InuFaye@gmail.com

[whoknows]

So I played a game today.

It was fun.

[Mr. Beef]

Liar.

[InuFaye]

Lies.

You are like jer, you dont play the games you just say they suck.

[whoknows]

It's true.

I played that one game that definitely sucks

[daroga]

All games suck.

Except Mario 3. That's the only exception.

[InuFaye]

Mario 3 sucks.

[whoknows]

Mario 3 sucks the hardest

[InuFaye]

Truf.

[daroga]

Yeah it doesn't.

Oh, wow. Did you see what I did there?! Amazin'!

Anyone want a cheapo copy of Shadow of the Colossus? Local TRU has 2 black labels for $9.90 in the clearance bin.

[InuFaye]

I would love a new copy of Shadow.

How much daroga?

[whoknows]

I remember trading my GBA SP for SoTC at release because I just had to have it :-P

[InuFaye]

okok you can have it.

I was gonna take it, but i prolly wont be hurrrr.

[daroga]

I can nab it for cost + shipping. So, what, $13?

[InuFaye]

Yes that sounds good to me.

I like that idea.

PM me for paypalz.

[The Mana Knight]

I finally got to play the 2nd Hot Shots Golf Portable demo today on PSP (using my old PSP). Really cool demo and I can't wait for the game to come stateside one day.

I'm debating about getting Lost Odyssey by trading in games at GS (I get 20% extra), but in some ways I rather just wait until Meijer has a sale.

If you care at all about any of the games you're going to trade in you might as well wait.

[daroga]

Yes that sounds good to me.

I like that idea.

PM me for paypalz.Once I've got it in hand and can get you a real, final price, I will. I'll try to get over there tomorrow or Saturday.

[The Mana Knight]

OMG

I played CoD4 for the first time today at home (on my faster internet) and won my first death match. That was the first time I ever won a death match in an FPS. I had 18 kills and 11 deaths. For the first time, I actually had more kills than deaths. I wasn't playing against terrible people, since most had a rank in the 20's. You don't want to imagine my facial expression that I won. 2nd match I lost (although I came in 3rd and still had more kills than deaths). I played the third match really good, but still got third place (had more kills than deaths again). I ended up gaining two levels really quick due to doing well (I also finally had 6 kills in a row and landed an air strike).

[whoknows]

Good job. So you're at level 10 now then?

[zewone]

Since when is a rank of 20 in COD considered good?

That takes about an hour to earn.

[jer7583]

So I got game informer today. lol. Their reviews are the worst around. A 6 for No More Heroes (While the review calls the game a failure) was pretty funny. Not only does the game not deserve a 6, but the idea that a score of 6 is a failing score is pretty funny as well.

The 6.5 for the Wii's "Winter Sports: Ultimate Challenge" on the facing page is the cherry on top.

Meanwhile Trash like Turok and Fifa Street are given comfortable 7s. It's everything I hate about game reviews. And their writers have all the insight of a 12 year old describing GTA to his friends. AWESOME.

Edit: Also notable: The fact that no "Second Opinion" review differs from the big review by more than .5 points. That's good variety! Fucking Gamestop Pre-Order Brochure.

You pretty much described every review ever as far as I'm concerned. They're all morons.

[Mr. Beef]

Turok, a 7? PLEASE. Anyone who seriously believes that has never played anything, ever.

[whoknows]

Gametrailers gave Turok an 8.3

[Mr. Beef]

Ugh. All Turoks suck. Always have, and always will. Even Rage Wars, which was probably the most fun, had a glitch where co-op mode was impossible to complete.

[The Mana Knight]

Good job. So you're at level 10 now then?Yeah. If I play another game tonight, I can get up to level 11, then tomorrow I'll try to get to level 12.

[gunm]

I forgot to mention I tried out the MLB The Show 08 demo recently. I liked it, but it seemed like it was still missing something.

[jer7583]

Was gametrailers' 8.3 actually justified? They're usually pretty good about showing problems or things they like in the video reviews.

The only reviews I really like are usually IGN's Nintendo reviews and EGM/GFW. They seem to care more about reviews than other places.

[whoknows]

Watch the review, they almost always give reasons for their scores which is why I like their reviews the best: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/30162.html

Sometimes their reviews are off though, like with DMC4 all they did was complain and then gave it an 8.6

[whoknows]

So I played that one game again.

It was fun again.

[Jesus_S_Preston]

What are the PPPoE and Advanced Settings for on my 360? They're all listed as "Not Set". Could that have anything to do with my mentioned connection problems?

[gunm]

No. ^^^

Edit: to clarify, if you haven't gotten PPPoE info from your ISP, then you don't need it.

[RelentlessRolento]

hey thread, I missed you. you move too fast. that's why I can't have your babies.

[The Mana Knight]

I got up to rank 12 in one match in CoD4 (so I can assign myself to CAG and play some better online modes). I got over 1000 points for something. It was from a mission I actually did pretty good (although I got third). I also got first again in another match, so I'm definitely improving at the game. Although I was in the lead for a while and barely did anything (I got sick of listening to someone who used the voice changer option). I'll still play CoD4, but I'm glad to at least get something accomplished, so I may finally play single player (I barely have, lol).

[2Fast]

Got back into Chromehounds recently with some friends.

Definitely the most underrated/overlooked 360 game IMO.

[Jesus_S_Preston]

No. ^^^

Edit: to clarify, if you haven't gotten PPPoE info from your ISP, then you don't need it.

Son of a bitch.

[RelentlessRolento]

like I said, these threads go too fast.

[jer7583]

Son of a bitch.

Sometimes you just have to consider that maybe something just doesn't work.

I've read something about how certain wireless adapters can't do "promiscuous mode" or something and thus can't be bridged? I have zero patience for fucking around with computers, so I spent about a half hour trying to get mine work and then just gave up on it.

[Jesus_S_Preston]

But I know it isn't the wireless router/card (or shouldn't be), because it worked for thirteen straight months using the same router and card on different computers.

And I refuse to accept that it won't work because I have 2000+ MSPoints and half a dozen arcade games that can't be played offline (Thanks, DRM!)

[pete5883]

Old, yes, but:

looking forward to playing Home this weekend!
Wha happened?

Maybe you should keep the other computer around just for Live?

[RelentlessRolento]

Old, yes, but:

I can dream. apparently, it seems I'll have to wait till march ;)

[seanr1221]

Played some Unreal 3 today. Game is really awesome, but would be more awesome if they fixed the mods. Let me download straight from the game goddammit!

[pete5883]

The video isn't official, but this song is pretty awesome.

[Jesus_S_Preston]

Maybe you should keep the other computer around just for Live?

Yeah, but then I'd either

A) Have to use that computer as my primary PC, as I have for the last few years, and enjoy its ability to crash every five seconds, turn videos into slideshows, and randomly refuse to do what I ask, in exchange for Live.

or

B) Buy a second Wireless Card, keep using the new computer as my PC, and plug in the old PC whenever I need to use Live (I don't even know if this would work).

[whoknows]

Wireless cards aren't too expensive, so you could go that way.

[Jesus_S_Preston]

Mayhap I will.

If I put my old PC back in with a new card, getting a signal from the same old router, should I be able to plug the ethernet right in and connect to Live?

[whoknows]

Mayhap I will.

If I put my old PC back in with a new card, getting a signal from the same old router, should I be able to plug the ethernet right in and connect to Live?
Honestly I'd probably buy the new card for your new PC and just have your old one set up exactly how you had it before.

[RelentlessRolento]

All this PC talk for the longest time just makes me think GGT needs to move to the PC forum area... >_<

[zewone]

I'm down with that idea.

[whoknows]

Well his problem is gaming related :-P

[Jesus_S_Preston]

Alright, I'll try that.

[The Mana Knight]

Well his problem is gaming related :-PLol. ;)

Anyway, I just want to dump games (since I have too many), so I'm not really forcing myself to get rid of stuff I don't want to (because I do). However, I kind of want to wait on LO a little. Right now, all I care about buying is four new releases badly (which all come in March) and getting a new HDD for my PS3. I'd like to trade-in enough games to get enough $$$ at GS to break even on two games at least, then use my cash to get a HDD. Sucks for me right now because I have no job, and not all that much money left in savings (thankfully I'm not in debt). Hopefully I get a job after college to make up for it.

About to play Burnout tonight with CAGs, so I'm excited.
