PixlBit

Yeah, I think this could potentially mean getting a lesser experience playing single-player with no online connection though.

But you could probably still play that lesser version of the game without ever being online. I think this might be where all the rumors and confusion about always-online are coming from.

On the other hand, maybe they realize more people will have an online connection down the line, and can create more longevity for the console this way, while having the initial titles be complete or mostly so without it.

Interesting.

Yeah, I think all the derogatory "bro-tastic" labels put on this thing by Pixlbit users pretty much bears out what you're saying. "Bros" do buy systems. Hell, I'd still buy it and actually be stoked for its all-in-one features ... if not for that potentially deal-breaking confusion over online, and its stance on Kinect and used games fees/DRM/whatever being required.

Yup, did voiceover work on all but one of our projects, and that one is not here cause I wanted to keep the voice consistent. Thank you for the compliment. 

Blackness is still there in the DVD I burned, but I put credits at the end in that version, so I'm hoping it's not as awkward as in this.

I can understand what Geminiman is saying, and in my current situation of having to live with my parents after college, I realize some if it is directed at me, but oh my God, that song is so fucking catchy.

I think I actually had the most fun playing that one. I miss the cheesy announcer, and until I looked up on Youtube for nostalgia's sake, forgot all about the X Cup. Plus, while GX maintains the themes for the most part, X had much more of a shred guitar/heavy metal feel to it in general.

GX is still an awesome game, and really nails the sense of speed, but I think I really started loving the series with X.

Good luck with beating Metroid. Man, that game is tough.

My N64 is about as sturdy, except for its second controller (I think; haven't played in forever, but remember it being shit, which I think happened after my older brother got pissed at KI: Gold), and my only issue with my Gamecube one is sometimes up on the control stick won't do anything, I think cause sometimes I leave it at rest, not realizing the control stick is pointed up for long periods of time, but it's been working just fine lately.

Nintendo equipment in general is like the damn Energizer bunny though, it all just keeps going, even if you adopt at launch it seems. lol

Bloodrayne looks stunning. Like a Bayonetta aesthetic (or Bloodrayne aesthetic, sure, why not?), plus Castlevania-esque 2D side-scrolling, plus the music. Wow. Was not expecting that.

Those San Diego pictures make me wish I were more of a picture taker when I was in Boston. Unless they're here somewhere, but I was sixteen at the time, so I doubt it.

Don't get Time Warner though, it goes out constantly. Maybe it's in our area it's so bad, but trust me on this: don't get Time Warner. lol
