Wow, with wonderful rebuttals like that, I must say I am convinced I was wrong before. Really?

Ok, my weekend gaming is complete.

For the servers, EA offers rented servers since then last patch. Since then the official ones have dwindled down. But people have complained and they are bringing more and more back. I'm with you, I like standard games, not the ones with a bazillion tickets. It just gets boring.

Okay, just a follow up as I just beat the game. It is a good game. Not a great game, but a solid good game. My total time played was 6 hours. I figured that could help you decide on when you should get it because I break everything down to time/cost. If you get it for $40, then that is $6.66/hr. Not a super great deal…

No kidding!

Bad Company 2 - trying to get my 20 destruction kills for the stupid trophy.

This is the answer. It is what it is, and calls out the strengths and weaknesses of the computer.

hmmm, parts are a tough one. I know there are people who fiddle that take them, but usually it is businesses for repair. Try the place that "fixed" it. See if they will buy it for something because they did not really fix it. First scour ebay to see if people are selling bad consoles and/or parts to get a value idea.…

classic. just darn classic.

Welcome to the fold. Those suckers are so good. They do make large ones that are much bigger in circumference "big" ones that are larger around and also in thickness. But the small ones are more appealing and have a better chocolate to mint ratio.

I hear you on stuff to keep some interest in the game. But skins? I mean, yeah I like skins but they aren't really anything to keep me interested. Especially in a 1st person game where I can't see myself. I'd really like to see the BC2 maps rendered in Frostbyte 2. Now that I would pay for.

Yeah, my Xbox RROD'd on me. It's a heat issue and the solder becoming brittle over time from all the heating up and cooling off. I fixed it by replacing the thermal paste but it RROD again. So I changed the x clamps to bolts, replaced the rear fan and modded the case to have an additional exhaust fan. It still RROD.

Yeah, and I was thinking that eventually they were going to phase out the Kotaku log in part, but keeping it there for the transition. But its been how long now?

If you take the Spyro toy and place it on a PS1 then you can play the original Spyro game.

Oh yeah, I totally get that and agree with it too. But the problem is my "on the go" means I am on the go and don't have a break for gaming. And yes, because of that if any game is going to get my attention it would be on my phone, and a simple game instead of a complex one.

Oh I'm sure. It is far from being a glamorous job. It is retail, and it is low level retail. I figure that the employees have a hard time for a variety of reasons. But I've seen people shine through in those situations as well. Just as if I have a bad day I don't need to take it out on them, if they are having a bad…

Well I don't need the salesperson to give me info on video games, I'm covered there. But it is their job so they should know. They tried to sell me the AC III preorder 4 times and the answer was no each time. And I understand the offer, but they didn't take the no. And the attempt didn't get better. It was, I see you…

"I'd rather make clear the options, but take no as an answer."

I see what you are saying but that isn't totally true. Like Cabela's and Rapala are published by Activision, not Cabela's and Rapala. They use the brands (and yes there is a licensing agreement so everybody can make money) so they can sell more. Because people will buy more Cabela's Buck Hunting than Jim and Joe go…

This is what I do with my PSP and the reason why I am not investing in a Vita (even if I had the money, which I don't).
