True. Lando was just hoping for dirt cheap; with games being 60 bucks, now, we had to assume the periphs. were going to not be DIRT cheap. haha

The drums look decent; and ship with actual drum sticks so you're right; they'll be able to withstand a beating.

no I didn't want dirt cheap pricing. I wanted reasonable pricing. a mic costs them almost nothing to make, MUCH less than the guitar, so the drumkit while needing to be bigger and more complicated, even with protection from wear and tear, it's not worth $100.00 US.

Well, maybe I'm being too favorable to Rock Band. I don't WANT to spend two hundred bucks on the bundle, but I'm willing to do it only cuz the game looks 'effin SICK. haha

And Johnny.....you're gonna really be missing Xbox Live when the COD4 Beta starts.

Oh.....and did the 360 owners catch the premeire of the Bioshock launch trailer on Spike TV? Right after the trailer, Geoff from Gamehead announced the demo was released.

The demo for Bioshock is amazing.

I miss Xbox Live constantly! I miss playing R6V with my clan! I miss my Red vs Blue theme! I even miss the annoying little Tommy kids who are just terribly annoying and horrible at trash talking! :*(

I played both that demo and stranglehold, both great games!

I couldn't get into R6V; which sucks cuz I was super excited for the game before it came out. Oh well.

Lando - yeah both Bioshock and Stanglehold are gonna be sweet.

I've been playing Super Mario Strikers: Charged for the Wii. Its definitely a good time.

I'll get it eventually, probably more towards winter when all my friends are bored and need some multiplayer gaming to keep them entertained.

I heard that. At least they didn't use pinball machine parts like the original line of 360's.

Also, Bioshock (360) and Brunswick Pro Bowling (Wii) are out tomorrow! Sweet!

Oh, and Forza 2 rocks. I wish you had a 360 right now, Johnny. I have to take it back to Movie Gallery, today.

Woah!
Did you just change your name to Minnesota, or has it been like that all along and I'm crazy?

Are you from Minnesota?
...Do you know MacGyver?

I changed it about a month ago; Megan is right. Just seems that you haven't noticed. haha!

Yes, I'm from Minnesota. Born and raised. I'm considering moving back. No, I don't know MacGyver. haha!

If you move back to Minnesota I'll be sad

Brunswick bowling is supposed to blow. In reviews they said that the Wii sports bowling is more accurate and that there's a delay, a disconnect between release of the ball and when it actually gets thrown down the lane on this brunswick one. sounds lame.

So I finally got around to beating MGS2 in anticipation of MGS4. I've had the game for like 3 years and only ever got up to the bomb-freezing part before Fatman.

So, after hving completed it, I can now sya this: wtf?

Lando · Post by **Lando** » 8/20/2007, 3:56 pm

play SUBSTANCE! it has more um.... substance?

man that dude sure likes chopping chicks with his sword :O

ihatethunderbay · Post by **ihatethunderbay** » 8/20/2007, 5:06 pm

Playing substance would require me buying substance. I think my next purchase will be a used copy of Snake Eater.

I wish The Twin Snakes was released for PS2... MGS1 story + MGS2 gameplay = win
