So today, I said to myself, "Wow, I really want Gears 2."  So I rounded up most of my old Gamecube Games as well as a few 360 games.  This is what games I brought in and how much I recived for each one.  I had a total of 18 games, 5 360 games, 15 Gamecube games.  The grand total ended up being $64.93. just enough to get gears.  After I made my purchase he handed me a receipt which had all the games I traded in and how much I got for each one.  Let's just say I was a little pissed after I saw this receipt.  I know it's old, but 2.60 for Kameo? And I only got 3.90 for Mass Effect, yet I get 9.10 for NFS: Most Wanted?How does that work out?  I also got 36 cents for Tak and the power of juju.  I know that's an old game, and it's not very good, but still, I couldn't even get 1 dollar for it when they are going to try to sell it for 10?  The whole system seems flawed to me.  I'm sure most of you know about this, but I had really never gone to trade in games before.  I mean, it was probably worth it, all these games are games I'm never going to touch again, I might as well get something out of them.  I'm pretty that's how Gamestop can do that.  They know that people know that they are the only place they can go trade games in, so Gamestop just makes it retardedly unreasonable. Oh well, I got my copy of gears 2 which is amazing from what I have played so far.

I just got another xbox back in july for red rings, and it just happened again...I have my xbox not surrounded by anything, it has meters of space around it and my power brick is the about the same, sitting in a corner of my room with nothing around it.  this really annoys me.  I want a free game or something, because this is rediculous.

So I checked my e-mail and recived a beta key for WaW.  Entered the key on my xbox and it was a pretty short download, almost 900mb if I remember right.  This game just doesn't feel right after playing call of duty 4 for such a long time.  I also think it just kind of looks sloppy, I know it's the beta and all...but right now, it feels weird and sloppy.  It seems like you have to unload a whole clip into a person to kill them, plus the guns just don't seem that accurate.  It got really frustrating really fast.  The game mode War is kinda cool though, but it allways seems to go to fast because one team just smashes the other and finishes the game in 2 minutes and you don't get any exp and it's just a waste of time.  Favorite gun would have to be the thompson though.  They did add some new perks, but almost all of them are pretty pointless.  Like call of duty 4, 3 kill streak gets you a radar, a 5 get's you an air strike, and for 7, instead of a helicopter, you get dogs.  I think the dogs are to easy for your enemy to kill, I think you shouldn't be able to kill them, and if a dog targets you all you can do is run...in the beta I think I have died probably once or twice from dogs and I played it for a good 2-3 hours.  The beta also let's you get to level 11 and let's you do some challenges as well as customize a few guns.  Overall, not really that impressed.  I don't think this game is going to make a lot of people quit playing COD4.  COD4 just feels so much better than this.  It's too bad.  

After sitting on a drums tool and playing RB2 drums for 12 hours straight, my neck really hurts...oh well.  It is such an amazing game with tons of features, I'm going to right a review sometime tommorow.  Chop Suey is really fun, that's one of my favorites.  

Rock band 2 ah!!!!! can't wait....I really have not been this excited for a game for a while now, I am really looking forward to it.
