"And to continue my rant. STOP CALLING US GAMERS!...that goddamn phrase they use to label us seriously pisses me off. Video Game Enthusiast, Fan, Fanatic, Player or something other than *cringe* gamer."

I have no plans to pick up a DSi since I am very happy with my DS Lite, however, should Nintendo decide to release DSi only games that I find very interesting, I may have to take the plunge.  Basically, what I am saying is if Dragon Quest IX is DSi only then I'd get one.  Now, that would be such a stupid thing to do, both for here and in Japan, but sometimes publishers do dumb things.

Nice lighting, but - and I'm not sure it's something this engine would even handle - the physical weight of the shattered crypt cover seemed floaty.  But, like I said "nice lighting."

I can't say I am a big fan of the actual story, however I am fond of the characters, design, factions, and feel of the universe.  In my mind, Halo falls somewhere between your average "near future" setting and a grander space opera fiction in the chronicle of human development.   In an imaginary timeline of my own creation, Metal Gear Solid 4 would start, then Halo and finally Mass Effect.  Anyway, I find Halo a lot of fun, but the story is rather bland.  Interesting characters, intriguing universe, aesthetically pleasing design...not a lot more, though.  I think there is a lot of failed potential in what we've seen in the Halo fps games so far.

It's the circle of life, I get it.  Of course, the real killer in that clip is cigarettes (haw!)

I just watched a deathmatch video from GDC over on GameVideos (in addition to the above posted video) and, Al3x is right.  It's a UT3 clone.  I hear it can only support 32 on 32 as well, so that is basically the same as Resistance 2, I believe.  Why pay extra for that?  As for the MMO idea, it seems to me there was something free that was done on MechAssault 2's multiplayer.  Conquest mode had people playing for a team and the battles won moved their side closer to galactic domination.  The war for the galaxy went on whether you were playing online or not.  I read it didn't work out so well do to flaws in the system, but the idea seems to be the same as the one in Huxley to me.  And as for character creation...well, practically all FPSs have that to some degree today.  Sadly, I'm not too impressed with what I see. Hopefully, the final product will offer more.

"what I've noticed is there is a ton of jokes in cartoons these days that no kid would get because it require knowing some really old movie or band or something "

"There is also The Adventures of Brisco County JR. with Bruce Campbell that was awesome,but I am not sure if that was actually a tv show or a just a mini series."

The color I own the most of is black, but I generally wear green the most.  I like shirts of all colors...except brown shirts...bad history with that lot.

Spongebob is okay.  Older episodes are better, especially since Tim Conway is no longer voicing Barnacle Boy.  I don't think either Spongebob or ICarly would fall into the "you shouldn't be watching this" definition in my book.  I reserve my vitriol for Hannity on FOX and Keith Olbermann on MSNBC.  I don't care if you work for the right or the left, I have little trust in propagandists.

EDIT: I'm adding "Tim and Eric's Awesome Show" 'cause I think that show needs to just disappear off the face of the planet.  Don't watch it and give CN an excuse to give them anymore money.
