What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That list is awesome! A lot of songs/artists I love are on there.

In other news, I beat Call of Duty 4 ! It was shorter than I expected. It only took me a weekend and change. And when I say "a weekend," I mean staying up till 4 in the morning. So it probably would have been an even shorter game had I not died so many damn times. But, hey, eventually I saved the Eastern seaboard, so there's that.

Really fun game, highly recommended.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I find that sucking increases my gaming-per-dollar-invested tremendously. Highly recommended.

Well, that's what difficulty levels are for, I suppose. Even if you can breeze through on Recruit, the description of the hardest difficulty level is "You will not survive."

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

you two are cracking me up! Sad to say, most of the time, even on easy level, "I will not survive". Eh. Like Amych says, I really get my gaming-per-dollar, and I have fun too, and that is what counts.

move out and draw fire

Ooo, the song list looks good. "Tangled Up in Blue" will be a bitch to sing. And I see they'd added Jethro Tull...will there be a flute controller?

The new controllers look pretty sweet also.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

BWAH!

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I stayed up till (just gone) 4am completing Call of Duty 4 recently on the Nerdbox. I loved it. Polter-Cow, I occasionally play it online - my Nerdbox Live username is HarshFire. (A name I did not choose).

I'll ask here and not tech, as I think this group will know. On the back of the xbox360, next to the Ethernet port. What is that a connection for? Is it HDMI (he asks as he awaits the arrival of his 1st HDTV).

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500

Does it say "HDMI" next to it?

nope, it says nothing, hence me asking.
