Today, I saw for sale an (see topic title) online! That's RIDICULOUS! I could have gotten any one of them free, no strings attached--I felt very, VERY powerful. Now the catch is that my father has to travel for work a lot; using his AmEx card, he accumulates loads of points. $1 spent is the same as 1 point. I saw that he had 321,101 points. 0_o He gave me a limit as to the number of points and even suggested me checking out the Wii, which I've decided more or less upon purchasing. I ended up picking a portable media player for around $15,000. That seems like a lot but they're really "free" since he spends money which his company reimburses him for for travel and miscellaneous expenses. Hope these numbers blew your mind.

BEFORE YOU EVEN BEGIN:

I've played both along with a rather large library of each's games, I have very little money (X360 is pushing my budget, though is possible), and I don't want tech-specs. I know that X360 is more powerful, has a larger HD, has more mature-rated games, has HD capabilities along with fiber-optic sounds etc. Now the story:

In college I became dependent on my DS, laptop, and a friend's Wii to take my mind off of various issues, crappy physics tests, and to have fun. Before that I played X360 at a neighbor's home, where we beat CoD2, CoD3, CoD4, Quake 4, most of Dead Rising, and all but half of a level of the overrated Halo 3. Wii completed games to date are Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, Resident Evil: the Umbrella Chronicles, No More Heroes (which was AwEsOmE!!), and Smash Bros.: Brawl. (The point of telling you about the games I've played is so that you don't use one game to convince me either way; but I'm open to that suggestion...the "Halo is awesome" mentality is the polar opposite of what I think).

I'm looking forward to two releases: Alone in the Dark and Resident Evil 5. I'm pretty sure that RE5 won't be on Wii, though I could argue either way if I was asked to. I'm impartial to graphics since my tv in college is pre-HD/fi-os sound/etc..

Sorry if this creates more problems then it solves for anyone trying to help me but, HELP!! WHICH ONE DO I CHOOSE?!?!

:question::|:question:

Woah...that was trippy...

The game, as a whole, was on par with SH2--which I loved. The problems I have are on my PC the options and inventory screens are incredibly, incredibly laggy--beyond all explanation. Another thing I had an issue with is the fact that where in SH2 you could "quick swap" the weapons in your inventory and manually reload your guns, you cannot in SH3. That made the boss fight VERY ANNOYING having to switch from handgun to shotgun/sub-machine gun then back to handgun and so on. The bullet-proof vest was a good thought and Douglas is the man, much like James Sunderland. Even though I never finished SH1, I was able to understand the references since I somehow remember much more of a game that I never played. As they were making summations from the first game, I actually remembered reading something along these lines years ago. The haunted house (and Danny) scared the hell out of me.

HOLY CRAP I'M DONE MY FIRST YEAR OF COLLEGE!!

Oh. My. God.

The game was AMAZING. I just finished it; though it left many, many questions unanswered, I realize that there are 4 endings. I got "Leave" which, I should say, was a bit anti-climactic. The game was AWESOME. If you're a Resident Evil fan like I am and you are looking for something to hold you over until Resident Evil 5 or Alone in the Dark, pick up a Silent Hill game. James Sunderland is the man.

There's little to say. This game is amazing (no where near perfect, mind you--but pretty close). My only real complaint is the friggin' camera is very difficult to control. Other than that, to quote raven_squad; it's full of "graphical tastiness". I'm in the hospital and hoping the game lasts much, much longer.

So I've decided to detail the misadventures of the roaming gnome as I try to get this confounded achievement. I'll keep this updated. Today, we went through some more mines filled with zombies and through an antlion nest. We also helped two guys hold off against an antlion invasion. I got the crap beaten out of me several times; eventually, we got enough extract for the vortigaunts to hold their seance...:|

...errr...I was going through my Half-Life games today since TF2 just released more achievements; the total is now in the mid 50's. I went back to Half-Life 2: Episode Two and found this beast of an achievement. I'm supposed to carry this little demon across 6 entire Half-Life chapters. Then, I'm supposed to take the gravity gun and shoot him into space. That's not fair.

What would life be like if the world was ruled by Resident Evil fans? Well, for starters, Resident Evil 5, 6, 7, and 8 would have already been released. The military would be dressed like the UBCS and weapons would have names from Leon: The Professional, which is a fantastic movie. Degeneration would have a release date, as well as an expected medium to be presented on, since I have no idea of what I'm going to be able to see it on. Wouldn't it be great?

I want RE5 and Alone In The Dark SOOOOOOOOOOO BAAAAAAADLY. Yeah, not much more going on; I've got finals in 2 weeks and even though I've got nine classes, only 2 are having exams; I get to move out next, next Friday for the summer.
