Well, if you DO go with a stick, don't go with the last one they listed here: the SF4 stick. It's... alright... but I do find myself going back to the PS3 game pad over and over again. Truth is that the stick is a bit too sensitive, and constantly mistakes my forwards for either crouches or jumps. Which is BAD. Just warning all of you. I'm going to TRY to get a Tournament Edition online tomorrow... but... yech, the timing bothers me. I should have got the TE stick sooner. Oh, well... we'll see how it goes.

1. WOW (PC) I dunno. I never play P2P MMO's, and yet this one manages to get a universal gathering of love. Bah. Way to go, me. 2. Baulder's Gate (PC) The second game in the series and its expansion pack is my favorite RPG of all time, and yet little old me is not quite bright enough to go out and by the original game. BAH. And I'm not talking about the hack-and-slashers that came out for the consoles, I'm talking about a real RPG. 3. Elder Scrolls: Oblivion (PC/X360) I'm sorry, but I'm not going to buy some half-made console just to play this game. I do plan on suping up my computer to run it, but by then... who knows. 4. Final Fantasy XI (PC/XBOX/PS2) Meh. This game turned me off about as much as FFX-2 did. It just did not feel right having to pay monthly for a game that I had already paid for, especially if it were a Final Fantasy game. I'd feel cheated. And finally... 5. Kingdom Hearts 2 (PS2) People went NUTS when this game came out. I sorta sighed. The first game was fun to play, but I hated the hype that followed it. It was good, but not that good, and certainly did not merit me going out of my way to buy the sequel of it, despite all of the improvements made. Still, part of me feels like I did something wrong by not playing it... I mean, on my MSN messanger, it became universal code to put "Away, Playing KH2" when you go away for a while... and this was nearly everyone. I dunno. I feel the same about FF7, though: great game, sure, but waaaayyy too overhyped. Can rarely find an RPG out there nowadays that does not try to copy FF7 in some way. I'm just hopeful that the same will not apply to Kingdom Hearts 2.
