dude, i love the new avatar. that is really nice. where's it from?
haven't gotten past the demo section of DA2 yet. gonna do that now. download the demo when you get XBL hooked up. it didn't seem that hard for me to hook up, but i was so exited to finally get a new system with cable internet that it could've easily made me overlook the bs.
DA2 isn't for everyone, but it's the perfect game for me. it could've been better (more open world, more character races besides humans, etc, etc), but i recommend you try it first. if you like western rpgs, definitely get it. i like jrpgs better, honestly, but i love bioware just as much.
that's one thing that's great about XBL - there's a demo for every game that's on the system (besides the unreleased games demos). let me know when you get it hooked up. me, you, and 5of9 can get some halo reach going on sometimes.
