My house now owns an X-Box 360.  Much fun will no doubt come from it, though Banjo Kazooie costing me $14 or so feels rather painful...

No games yet, need to purchase a hard drive.

Not really a place for this since there's no...board gamey thread, but I totally kicked some ass in Blokus today against McDohl and Aintaer and a computer.  I only had one 4-block piece left :D

I don't know how I managed to avoid Tomb Raider until now, but Spelunky made me think of it for some reason, and I picked up TR Anniversary, figuring a remake of the first one would give me a good taste of the thing.

I like it a lot so far, enough to almost make me regret not playing it before. It's pretty much Ico minus Yorda plus guns. I love that "hmm, how do I get there from here?" kind of environmental puzzly gameplay. (Which is odd because I have zero interest in Mirror's Edge. Must be the first person thing. Maybe.)

I still don't get all the hoopla about Lara Croft though. She looks so weird and ridiculous, even in this 2007 edition.

Yeah, the Crystal Dynamics Tomb Raider games are shockingly solid.  Which reminds me that I actually need to play Underworld.

Yahtzee didn't seem too pleased with it, but he seems to have A Problem with the reboot series, so.

Personally I find the new Tomb Raider to be surprisingly fun, particularly since I couldn't play more than 5 minutes of any of the original games without wanting to go smack my head on something solid until I forgot entirely about them.

Yahtzee is generally accurate as long as a multiplayer game isn't involved.

Brawl: Well me and my friends aren't fans from the N64 or Melee days and guess what we didn't think it was that great.  :hurr:

Soul Calibur: Why is the computer AI so bad what a load of shit this game is!  :facepalm:

Huh, I completely missed hearing about Phantasy Star Zero.

Hope it doesn't suck.

So I finally got around to starting Star Ocean: First Departure since Second Evolution came out yesterday.

Roddick sure looks like he's always about to flip out and kill someone in his artwork.  Voice acting in battles is still obnoxious as hell and some of the VAs are...shoehorning it, I think.

Gave Second Evolution a quick whirl (as quick as it is to hit the second save point when playing as Claude, jesus christ I forgot how long that shit took) and am pleased with re-translation and Rena's VA.  Claude, however, sounds like is Spike Spencer enjoying being a lesser Shinji.

So I has a Wii Fit.

Like any good trainer, it insults you a lot and holds you to an impossible standard.  That's fine.  My main problem with it - which became my main problem with Brain Age after a while - is that there is too much shit to do.  Variety is nice, but there's no indication that you're not somehow expected to do all 40 activities every day.  There's no actual personal trainer that tells you, "Okay, you suck at lower body balance and not being really fat, so today we're going to do some aerobic and yoga shit."  The damn thing itself actually yells at you if you use it for more than a half hour, so you'd think they'd bother to add in some sort of filtering algorithm to optimize your time.  The best you get is a favorites list, which now believes that Tightrope Walk is the best exercise ever because I find it hilarious to vault myself into oblivion.

Also, the Fake Personal Trainer is at once sexy and terrifying.  Not just because she's made of white plastic and speaks without ever moving her mouth, but because if you leave her alone for 10 minutes she'll show up again with her hair suddenly grown out three times in length.

I could tell you, but we'd need to start a thread for it.

UPDATE: I'm sore as hell today but that's probably because I stacked all that toying with the Fit on top of my regular aerobic/strength workout in the morning.  Which is my other major problem with the thing: it's a great way to motivate people who aren't active to begin with but not so much for people who actually already have an exercise regimen.  In that case it's just going to stress them out that they have to somehow justify having such a rare and slightly expensive thing.

I know almost none of you care, but Toys-R-Us will be having a shaymin event (FUCKING FINALLY) from February 8th-14th.  I will be getting....3 or 4.  One of which will prolly be for McDohl since he's in England.

Pokemon Platinum in March, fuck yeah!  Another chance to throw away 90+ hours of my time!  ::3: :hurr:

But that's okay, because it's enjoyable to smear Lyrai's mans all over the place engage in mighty fighting.

I have other games to play!  And this thing were I can't stand playing handhelds while I'm home with consoles sitting around.
