I like hiking mountains and then building houses for children with Aids on the top. What do I win?

Duh. What, did you think I was making light of the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome? Come on now.

I pretty much have congenital (and non-contagious) AIDS.

I mean, with my nigh-complete immune deficiency and everything...

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I want to live in Qrazy's AIDS house.

I have a friend with nearly 1-billion points in Pacifism mode in "Geometry Wars 2".

I cannot fathom this. The highest I've ever gotten is about 20-million.

Shatter (BreakOut style game with an amazing soundtrack)

those i have on PS3, will try the others. Got Steam for the free Portal weeks ago.

started Mass Effect and it looks very promising.

one of my roomates got Starcraft 2, it sucks that i can only play the game on his account though, maybe i'll get my own copy later.

This picture is from the game's own photo mode, which enhances the image quality of a still frame. Wipeout HD has a similar feature, it's in-game rendered by the PS3 hardware, but not real time.

Ah photo mode. I had a vague feeling it might have been that. Still, I guess it's cool to know we will truly be able to see this on our TV's.

Me too. I was addicted to the original "StarCraft" for a while but it was more of a social thing.

I never got into any other RTS.

I am not very good at strategics...

Finished GTA IV last night. Found more to like as I went on. Getting to the big weapons really helps with the fun. Some good missions. Others that you feel like they created solely to aggravate you. Pretty good story, though I often didn't really pay attention during the cutscenes. Still think Vice City and San Andreas were more involving and exciting storywise.

My biggest gripe however is that the music for this game is really weak compared to previous games.

Might try to do the alternate ending tonight.

I found the radio stations in general were quite weak in this entry.

I mean don't get me wrong, I was ecstatic to hear ELO's "Evil Woman while doing mach 5 across the Brooklyn Bridge - as anyone would be - but the commercials and announcer dialogue weren't written as well as previous entries. And am I crazy or were the program loops shorter?

Radio stations in the GTA franchise have yet to be beaten by "Vice City".

Agreed that Vice City is tops. "Evil Woman" was a rare highlight. Also liked when "One Vision" would come on.

Nothing can ever beat that first time I heard "I Ran" in "Vice City". I definitely grinned.

People listen to the music in GTA games? I always listened to Talk Radio.

I love the talk radio stations too, but again the loop is short. So after I've listened to all the talk stuff until I can't take it anymore, I move to the music stations.

Vice City's radio stations > GTA3s > GTA IV > San Andreas

On the PC version of GTA 3, I made an MP3 map and just uploaded my own songs. Is this even possible for GTA IV on the 360?

I'm not sure about "GTA IV", but both "Vice City" and "San Andreas" on the original XBOX were capable of this. I uploaded several of my favorite CDs and listened to them as my custom radio station.

i appreciate that they tried to create a more authentic feel with all the ethnic radio stations in GTAIV but yeah, the ones in Vice City were more entertaining. The loop was very short even on the music radios, the ones i've listened (mostly the instrumental ones) got repetitive quickly.
