Much obliged, Jilli. I really know nothing about the system requirements or even if it's the sort of game I'll enjoy (I've been a purist tabletop gamer for 27 years), but now that I have a hook to draw me in I'd like to at least scope it out.

On which gaming system?
Doesn't matter. But I will check out Gran Turismo.
Matt, I have a couple friends who still play CoH. And the X-Wives Club is pretty damn hysterical.

amych (whitefonted in case someone doesn't want to see how to plus up speech):
Get the Charisma bobblehead in the Vault 108 - Cloning Lab, and then the Speech bobblehead in Paradise Falls - Euology's pad. Also, there are 300+ skill books scattered throughout the game.
My friend bought the Prima guide for Fallout 3. "You can get the hardback version at Amazon for only $20 and it has all the locations for books (and other stuff) listed. It is quite handy and has a nice map too."
There are good guides here...

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Oh, we've got the Prima guide, and it's a very good one, for anyone who's into using game guides (I know some aren't). In this case, it was just the particular choice of book that amused me a whole big lot.

No Left 4 Dead for me. Co-op is not split-screen; you have to have 4 Xboxes to play 4 player co-op and 8 for the whole effect.
What happens anymore when you have friends over who want to play a game? Rock Band, D&D, and board games will never die.

Well Gears of War 2 can play co-op split screen.
Still, Left 4 Dead is really designed to be played with 4 boxes, and usually over Live.

Oh, my god, there's a Mortal Kombat/DC Comics crossover game? That's kind of awesome.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
You know, I don't why I've not mentioned this here before, as it's a natural, but I've been involved for a couple months in an ongoing Buffyverse role-playing game on LiveJournal. (I play Lorne and Ethan Rayne full-time, and I just ran the first major campaign, which entailed all out chaos, A Buffy vs. Angel smackdown, and a tour of the Rock And Roll Museum in Cleveland with Oz.
The game has its own continuity, diverged from the end of Buffy Season 7. If anyone's interested, there's a couple major characters available, including Gunn and Andrew. Info to get involved is here.
