I bought a PS2 to play Shadow of the Colossus. It's still one of my all-time favourites. I played it for a short bit on a friends PS2, and was basically thinking "I need to have this as soon as possible". So it was the game I picked up the PS2 with, and my expectations were met, then blown away.

I bought a 360 to play Bioshock when it came out. I actually bought Bioshock before I got the 360. I think I actually played Quake 4 and Gears first though, because I wanted to wait until I was back home to play Bioshock, to give it the right attention.

Maybe change the graphic, but keep the sound.

I need the sound. I CRAVE THE SOUND.

It's a good sound.

Sound can't go. It just cannot.

That sounds like sound thought.

If you want 60 FPS, get a pc. You're not going to get it standard on the next gen of consoles. Developers like to push graphical capabilities at the expense of frames. Most devs are not going to sacrifice that for framerate.

Back in 2004 everyone was saying "yep, 360 and ps3 are gonna push 60 frames", and some games did, but it's not standard.

@robot4me: In my limited experience (I'm only 26 years old), radio has always been shit - no more now than when I was a kid. What I was pointing out though, is how you used Lil Wayne and Lady Gaga as "proof" that all modern music is shit, which is like saying Pink Floyd sucked because The Beach Boys got airtime too back in the 60's.

Did you just shit talk the Beach Boys, the creators of one of the most influential albums of all time in Pet Sounds? Beach Boys got good after they dropped the surfer gimmick.

I am sad. :(.

That's actually a ridiculous deal!

Brasstronaut - Mean Sun. Mean Sun is probably my album of the year (sorry Devin). Brasstronaut took their indie-jazz sound into ambient territory, and it couldn't have turned out better.

Devin Townsend Project - Epicloud (& Epiclouder)

Anneke van Giersbergen - Everything is Changing

Flying Colors - Flying Colors

Rush - Clockwork Angels

Meshuggah - Koloss

Between the Buried and Me - The Parallax II: Future Sequence

Coheed and Cambria - The Afterman: Ascension

Jeff Pearce - In The Season of Fading Light

Baroness - Yellow & Green

Storm Corrosion - Storm Corrosion

I'm listening to Storm Corrosion (Mikael Akerfeldt and Steven Wilson), and that's probably gonna end up on this list too.

EDIT: Storm Corrosion is definitely on this list, near the top. I was not expecting what that album is at all. And I forgot about Baroness' Yellow and Green, so that's there now too.

The earliest I remember is my babysitter bringing over games to play. Back To The Future Part II and III is one I keep recalling as being an early experience. SMB/Duck Hunt were obviously very early as well, but I don't really remember those.

THIS WAS AWESOME. TIME TRAVEL.

I just loved going back and forth in time. The game itself was so strange though.

He is a terrible creation

The biggest disappointment is that Devin Townsend's 'Epicloud' isn't out until September.

I haven't been disappointed by anything yet this year, although I can't say I've listened to a whole ton of new albums. Most of the bands I follow released albums last year. Meshuggah's Koloss is probably the closest, as it's the same album they've been making since 2002. I still like it though, as that's kind of what I was expecting aha.
