FACK! Oh well. At least they are making the right decision in not preemptively releasing it. I'd rather have the best version late than a mediocre version early.

Yeah, it looks like the game will have more polish on it, which is good. I remember this happening with the original Forza as well. Slated for a holiday release, but didn't come out till the following March or April.

I'm gonna try to attempt to see if it's possible if I can rent Chromehounds today. Only last time I was at Blockbuster I couldn't rent a game because I didn't have a credit card for the pre-approval of a dollar, which sounds like a crock of shit to me but whatev.

Ha, Blockbuster can suck my preauthorized weiner, I'm just gonna go to Hollywood.

Test Drive has always been too arcadey for me - like Ridge Racer or any iteration of Need for Speed from the last six years. Blech.

The persistent online stuff sounds kinda neat, but I'd rather have something like that in Gran Turismo.

Gears of War and Call of Duty 3 come out today.

You can read a review of GoW here:
http://reviews.teamxbox.com/xbox-360...ars-of-War/p1/

9.6 outta 10 and they said graphically the best game they have ever seen.


Not that anyone besides Jerimiah and I care... and he's got a little man in the house now.

I haven't but one of the guys at my store has. He says it's pretty good. I've been meaning to try it, but I just don't have time to play much these days.

He played it on my 27 in tube. Bobby is just lame like that and has super high standards for a lot of shit. He said it would be better if it was a first person shooter.

Analysts predict PS3 will be ebaying for 5-7k and I agree. In all honesty that spot in line is well worth 450 dollars.

How many can you buy at once?

Anyone hear Adam Carolla this morning? A single guy turned down a free trip to the Bunny Ranch offered by Ron Jeremy himself...all expenses paid (airfare, food, etc) with his pick from any of the girls . All he had to do was give up his spot in line.

The Bestbuy he was standing in front of was only guaranteed 20 systems but may be getting as many as 200 in the first shipment.

The TV had nothing to do with it, it was just really repetitive, at least I thought so. I only played for a hour then got bored with it. Afterwards I watched Futurama for 5 hours.

I would probably do the same, not because I want a PS3, but because I've been to the Bunnyranch and that place sucked.

I saw a whole line of people standing outside of Best Buy tonight. It was just sick IMO. I almost wanted to lean out of my car and yell "NERDS!" at all of them.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I had a long day as a computer programmer and I need to go play some Dungeons & Dragons.
