Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

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

Laga, if you're asking if original Xbox games will play on a 360 the answer is "some". they have a list of backward compatible titles tucked away somewhere on Xbox.com. The list occasionally gets expanded.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Hey, amych, how are you doing with the game?
Utter, sheer, and did I mention utter crap!
In my defense, I didn't play the past ones -- only watched. So I'm still doing a lot of crashing into streetlight poles and, yes, sending myself flying through windscreens. Good times! Progress-wise, I'm doing a lot of wandering around rather than trying to get through anything fast, and having a great time of it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I just remembered that roommate D is getting the fat cash now. If I'm patient I bet an xbox 360 will show up here one day.

my thoughts exactly. I've stopped trying to show it to people. They just shake their heads and look at me sideways.
I loved Hardware!
Female stoner industrial artist hero, who is capable of saving herself. Dystopic future. Iggy Pop as the voice of Angry Bob. Combat robot run amok.
Yeah, I loved it too.

amych, if you haven't already, take a cab. It switches to first person view and you can look out all the windows. This is actually the best way to look around the city without having to steer yourself.
It also gives me an even greater appreciation for how alive the city feels.

Ah, so it was Kristin I saw log on. I sent a welcome over Xbox Live.
The current mission I'm on is both a little bizarre and hilarious. Anything else would be a spoiler.

Kristin has purchased GTA IV and is now in the other room playing it.She doing ok? Should I come up and visit?
(is GTA-IV a multi-player game? I've never played any of them, but the posts is making it sound REAL good).
ION- Hive- Xbox360 question. Has anyone played or heard about the new season of Baseball games? I got the 2k7 baseball last year (as 2k6 for original xbox wouldn't work on 360) and have been disappointed. I was wondering if 2k8 got better? Or another option? Or am I barking up the wrong tree with this group?
