  • Why do I have to take a chance? I already have more video games than I have time to play. Games cost money, and I need my money to pay for moving right now. I haven't even paid for an XBox Live Gold account because there aren't any games I want to play online.
    So did you buy a 360 just to play castle crashers and shadow complex?

    Once you get an HDTV, it might be worth it for the Netflix Streaming, however I'm not sure if it's you or Rym that owns the boxee or whatever.

    I know you probably don't want to buy it because you own the actual board game, but Carcassonne and Settlers are fun to play online.

    If that's true....wow....just wow. What will you do with your 360 then Scott?

    Probably the same thing they do with their Wii, hope for a good game, buy it, be disappointed, return to PC gaming and then repeat.

    I would think Scott would go for this since he likes RE so much.

    $200 for an Elite 360 is a great deal. If I didn't have a 360 already, I probably would have bought one. He just bought the 360, so it's not like he's had a lot of time to actually spend time on checking out the many games for it.

    Moving money > video game money. That's pretty much the same boat I'm in. I really want to pick up the new Mario & Luigi RPG, but it will have to wait.

    I am looking forward to the 360 Dashboard integrating Twitter and Facebook.

    I honestly use the 360 for Netflix. I can't get enough of the instant streaming. I only wish they had more awesome stuff instead of a lot of the random weird titles I've never heard of. They recently had Penn & Teller's BS Season 6 on streaming, but not the other seasons. I would add them to my queue, but it will probably stay there for a long time. If it isn't available streaming, I probably won't bother as much, unless I really want to see it.

    That is more than likely, but I also recommend Bomberman, even though I'm sure Scott has it for the Wii.
  • What was that other game you guys were talking about during the podcast? That had amazing replayability? NS?
  • I'm sure you've already played the original Rez, but you might want to get Rez HD anyway because it's, you know, HD.
  • wow dudes, you spent the first 7 minutes talking about door keys and rental antics? Really. Call Fox Snooze, because this is super-mega-exciting talk radio. But I guess I'm the idiot for listening to it. Boot to the head.

    I think your show needs some commercials, or better yet, fake comedy commercials. I can only take so much stream-of-consciousness brain spewing for so long before I need something to reset my synapses.

    posted after listening 21:43 minutes of the show; and because adult swim was all repeats tonight. Peace.

    Would you opt to listen to Geeknights if it only aired at a certain time of day, rather than listen whenever you wanted? This is the issue at hand, here.

    So, how's your media empire doing two years later, davek? Finally graduated from 9 listeners to 10?

    I'll have to read more of it at a later date. My opinions may be subject to change if I read the entire thread, but I still feel the need to listen to Radio PSI because it is worth my time that much to listen on those specified days and it is that good to keep doing so, in my opinion.

    It's flourishing wonderfully in a make-believe kingdom that exists only in his mind.

    Internet radio really is worthless. Hell, real radio is nearly worthless. I listen to NPR and nothing else.

    And NPR is even podcasted.

  • There is a special edition 250GB 360 in the pipeline.

    The one big problem with the 360 is the cost of the HD. they still want $150 for the 120GB drive even though the core system prices have been slashed.

    There is an easy out though. As long as you purchase the exact same drive (do a google search) that is used in the 120GB HD you can buy a cheaper 20GB drive and swap them out. You also have to do a bit of formatting to make it work. I expect information to leak on the 250GB drive used and once it does my 20GB drive will be a 250GB drive.

    Netflix streaming is 100% worth the price of Xbox Live. They have enhanced the service so that you can now browse titles from your Xbox.

    For games there is always Catan and Carcassonne.
  • I'm really hoping they drop the price of the HDDs for the 360 soon to something more responsible. I have two 360s and the one with the 20GB HDD is killing me, especially since I like to install the games I'm playing.

    This was in the back of my mind as well. I thought he was from Schenectady, and you must remember that you don't mess with people from Schenedtady.

    LOL. You know you could easily photoshop davek's photo from his profile onto an image of William Atherton from that scene.

    Haha, but seriously, Schenectady is a hole; about half the population is likely to shoot you for looking at them funny.

    It is my belief, Watson, founded upon my experience, that the lowest and vilest alleys in London do not present a more dreadful record of sin than does the smiling and beautiful countryside.... The pressure of public opinion can do in the town what the law cannot accomplish. There is no lane so vile that the scream of a tortured child, or the thud of a drunkard's blow, does not beget sympathy and indignation among the neighbours, and then the whole machinery of justice is ever so close that a word of complaint can set it going, and there is but a step between the crime and the dock. But look at these lonely houses, each in its own fields, filled for the most part with poor ignorant folk who know little of the law. Think of the deeds of hellish cruelty, the hidden wickedness which may go on, year in, year out, in such places, and none the wiser.

    It's true. This man has no dick.
