Finished mine a couple weeks ago. I have hardly updated my status since. I'm just not the type of person who cares to let people know what I'm doing/thinking at any given time.
@ESREVER: That looks like it's right up my alley. I have a weakness for hex grids, in board games and video games. Although, 12 hour games doesn't sound appealing to me. One of the reasons I like Memoir '44 is that it's a good strategy war game that only takes about 45 minutes per round. Shadows Over Camelot takes about an hour and a half once you know the rules, and even then I have trouble convincing my friends to invest the time.
I've just been informed that there is a Battlestar Galactica board game and it sounds awesome. semi-cooperative, with accusations flying like in Shadows Over Camelot. I want it.
" why the hell do I wanna chat duiring Black Ops for? "
To avoid having to talk to the random jerks you'll meet online, and also to give you an edge when Search & Destroy comes up on the Team Tactical playlist.

" Hell, I just downloaded and installed a 300mb Hot Pursuit update the other day in less then 10 minutes. "
And that's the thing. I realize updates on the 360 are much smaller than those on the PS3, but a 360 update never takes me more than 30 seconds. Compare that to 10 minutes, and it feels like I never actually play my PS3, I just update it. Especially given the mandatory firmware updates that do nothing but add another hurdle for hackers to jump.
I'm not about to say that the reasons Xbox Live is superior to PSN justify the price tag, but the question in the title of this thread is simply, "Why is PSN inferior?" and I think several reasons have been given to answer that.
@mfpantst: Hearing "no dice rules" is always a plus for me. I was actually underwhelmed the one time I played Arkham Horror because combat is purely dice rolls. I have a friend who loves Diplomacy, and he used to try to get me to play it during high school, but I never did for some reason. I'd love to give it a shot. Might have to wait until PAX where I can rent out a copy for free.
@Punk1984: I actually have Zombies!!!, and I'd say it's just all right. I really like everything about the cards--the artwork, the flavor text, the effects--but the game itself is a bit disappointing. I'd actually be interested in modifying the rules to make it cooperative instead of competitive, Left 4 Dead style.
" Dude FUCK australia. Cheapest shit ever in any game of all time. "
Yeah, Australia has been a balance issue since Risk first came out all those years ago. Some of the newer sets address it, but personally, I won't play standard Risk any more, because the games just take too long. Risk with objectives like in Risk: Factions is A-OK though.
It sounds like this fix got implemented, but whenever I try to look at my Xbox Live Achievements on here, it says "still building, #3000-something in line." How long is this process supposed to take? It's been like that for months now.
