Cheapy: I was reading reviews for FF XIII and I realized that I will probably hate it for its bogus storyline. This made me wonder if nonsensical narrative is a Japanese thing that is not limited to just games. You will probably have to ask your wife, but does Japanese literature generally...

This game made me wonder whether or not I liked JRPG's anymore. I rented it and hated it, but hopefully FF XIII will be awesome.

If anyone wants to go for the Star 69 achievement (complete all spec ops missions on veteran) send me an invite, my gamertag is dropbearGSH. I've completed all but the last mission in delta and the echo missions on veteran.

On getting the "No one left behind" achievement:

^ Agreed, you need to be directly underneath any window a floor up to get the necessary height to toss a C4 in. On smoke grenades and thermal scopes: I like to bait people into leaving cover by throwing a smoke grenade and then pick them off with a thermal scoped weapon.

I learned that little trick the hard way.

On the airport massacre video:

I just sent invites to a bunch of you, my tag is dropbearGSH

Does anyone else feel that the tone for this game is just wrong? I never really got the feeling that the human race was one step away from extinction. Anyone remember that Halo 3 ad where they show a huge model of a battle where people are getting butchered and look desperate? Thats the tone...

I was in a pawn shop the other day and found a copy of The Orange Box for $9... "The best deal in video game history" indeed. Best thing about it was that they had garbage like that LOTR RTS and Vampire Rain for $15 and $20! Also, I picked up a copy of Halo 3 ("totalmente en espanol" edition)...

I played Halo for the first time in a while and, like those who were bitching above, I was extremely disappointed with the way they are handling DLC. I have all of the DLC but Mythic and I have not found any gametype that allows to play my Legendary maps. That and half the gametypes require...
