I put down a preorder for these two bad-boys

and

(best preorder deal ever!)....I just gotta get live. I have about a year to get it running before that free original banjo kazooie on XBLA deal expires.

I also picked up Fable: the lost chapters. I beat the original and decided to trade it in and get TLC for the longer quest and extra content. I'm enjoying it thus far. It's actually running better on my 360 compared to the original fable. Not really getting any of those weird texture glitches. The slowdown is still there but its only prominent in towns where there's alot of people on screen.

Well that problem resolved itself quickly. I simply used the warranty and got a new one fresh out of the box. Now lets hope my karma's ok and it doesn't get struck with the RRoD.

and it wasn't even the RRoD.

For some reason it just won't display on my SD TV. Instead of getting a picture I just get a bunch of scrolling purple dots. The settings are fine(normal tv, 480i and everything)...but it just won't display a picture. All of my other consoles display fine...but my 360 doesn't.

I knew it was only a matter of time. I got it early 2007 so I've had it for almost 2 years.

Thank god I got a wii, ds, and ps2 to tie me over.

*EDIT* apparently I'm not the only one who has had this issue

that is all

Holy crap this anime is awesome!

I'm currently watching the dub on adult swim (hey, it's a pretty well done dub) and man....this anime moves pretty good pace.

oh...and how should I say this

Lelouch is probablly one of the best main characters I've even seen in any anime. Sure He's Cocky and falmboyant (a little "fabulous" if you know what I mean)....but he pulls off his character with such awesomeness

and.... Holy jesus exploding shuriken ninjas everywhere!! WTF rocket launchers on the first mission!? Exploding ninjas ganging up with the spider boss!? What the hell Itagaki, WHAT THE HELL!? They're Raping me....RAPING MEEEEE!! FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

....and that was my initial impression

I graduated 2 days ago to be exact.

Apparently we were the last school in the area to hold graduations....which sucks :(.

edit: aaaaaaand I got $360 in graduation money

If you're weary about this games due to the reviews...don't be.

This game is still pretty damn awesome. If you're a fan of the NG series you owe it to yourself to get this game.

Sure it can be a little cheap at times, the camera does get wonky in some areas, and water levels are still a pain in the ass.......but the combat is oh-so-satisfying.

as for the difficulty...I have a file for both acolyte and warrior. I tend to play acolyte alot so I can hone my skill with the various combos without fear of getting my ass kicked every five minutes.

This isn't a game...it's an experience.

This game is truly next gen! There are games that look next gen but don't play the part....but GTAIV sure as hell does.

It's not perfect...but for it's respective genre it's pretty damn close. Keep in mind that I was never fond of the GTA series...until I played this baby. Soo many improvements have been made to the on foot controls, the aiming, the pedistrain AI....it's just so realistic!

This is definitely tied with super mario galaxy as my two favorite games for this current gen. So far I just got a safe house on the second island so we'll see if it gets better.
