Well first off lemme answer the question of the day: I will be going to PAX as soon as they get themselves over here to the east coast. I can't wait till 2010. I hope it's in New york cause that'll give me an excuse to head on over to the Nintendo World Store which I've always wanted to do.

Now onto the rest of my life. I got to hook up a friend's 360 to my monitor today and no matter how hard I tried we had these huge black bars on the side of the screen. This was two player split screen and we had the LAN up so we could do four players with decent sized screens. I would have stretched the screen but the menus were the right size. I dunno I'm gonna have to work that out. I think I know what the problem is. We had it set to 720p and that's the "official" native resolution of Halo 3. All the menus and the Xbox Guide were in 720p, but the game itself is around 640p if I remember. This is why lazy developers need to either go the full nine yards on their games or put them on the Wii in 480p so you don't have to. A lot of these games have "720p" support but are a lot closer to resolutions of 480p. It really bothers me. Thankfully Microsoft talked about adding new resolutions to the 360 that support 16x10 widescreen which is what my monitor is so this should be smoothed out. It probably would of been fine in 480p mode but I never checked.

So Mario Kart Wii...is pretty good. I would go and buy this game right now but I gotta save up for a 360. Now here's my delima

What do you think I should do?

• Get the ten bucks I'm gonna get tomorrow and save it towards my 360
• or save them for Monday and get Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People Episode 1: Homestar Ruiner?
