If you really want to draw better you have to be more active to find ways to improve, go to a class, post your stuff online and seek out critisism, get some art books, accepting that you bad at something and then just giving up seems kind of senseless if it's something you really want to do. It's very rare for people to start off good at something and art is especially hard since it's not something you can ever really master, people's styles and ways of working are always evolving. You should probably try to overcome being a perfectionist in a way since it sounds like it's getting in the way of you progressing, you are not going to develop if you are so precious about your work that you won't let other people help you.  Maybe putting your artwork/writing online and sharing it with people would help in that respect.
 
So basically be more open with your work and try not to be so defeatist and instead try to improve on what you identify as faults, sorry if this is too harsh, I don't mean to be.

Fightbox, though being based on such an awful TV series I don't know why I even bothered to hire it.

I'll probably wait until it drops in price a bit, I can see it being one of those games that doesn't stay at full price for that long (no reflection on the quality of the game, I just don't think the Duke name will attract that large of an audience now as it once did)

No, not sure about either handhelds at the moment, hardly use my DS anymore so I don't know if there's much point in getting a new portable console of any kind in the near future.

It reminded me a bit of oblivion from the quick look in terms of it's difficulty and the need to pick up eveyrthing you can find just to sell it (though that maybe because I've been playing Oblivion lately) The biggest flaw is the world and character interactions seemed a bit lifeless (that supposedly dramatic death scene for example), though I'm just going from what I've seen since I haven't played it myself.

Fair enough if you don't play online

It's not Microsoft's fault you can't use Hulu on your xbox, it's not available on any platform in the UK (which I'll assume you are part of since you mentioned sky player) because the rights to the shows are held by different people over here. Considering sky makes you pay for all of it's services I don't know why you would expect it to be free on the xbox, again that wouldn't be Microsoft's fault either because they don't have any control over what Sky wants to charge you for stuff.
 
The rest of your points are valid (though personally I couldn't care less about what my gamercard looks like)

What is the actual launch line-up of the 3DS, all the sites I am looking at just give a long list of games that will be out in the months after it's release but no proper dates.

Wonder if they've added the PC only Gears of War levels for the first where you fight the Brumak (or however you spell it's name) probably not but it would be nice to finally let xbox owners play that section.

The cutscenes look nice and the game itself doesn't look bad (though I'm not really getting where all the excitement is coming from, nothing from it particularly stands out at me) would prefer if he just made KH3 but I'll probably give this a go whenever it is released.
