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.
Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

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?

No, it's not really multiplayer, and I don't want to be spoiled for the game, so I ran off to my office while she's playing.

Omnis, there are multiplayer games in GTA IV, and they all take place within the very detailed city, but the story aspect is single player only.
If you have a next-gen system you really should have this game.

You know, S always complains that she's bored. I wonder if she'll buy it that I picked up a PS3 and GTA4 for her.

Get the Xbox 360, not the PS3.

But a PS3 would be a blu-ray player, too!

But if I got an Xbox, I could play online games with my friends....
DAMMIT!

So far the library of games on the 360 seems to be better than the PS3. I'm sure I'll eventually get a PS3, but there's nothing pressing at the moment.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Sean, as much as I hate to have to admit it, the 360 would probably make more sense for you -- what with the whole gang available for online play (for us, getting the PS3 was the clear choice, since we have about a jillion and three PS1 and 2 games and our PS2 was rapidly dying. Plus, just as a matter of personal taste, Metal Gear > Halo. Blu-Ray is really great-looking, but it's pure bonus and not really the reason to buy it.)
Or you could get both. But that might be harder to explain to S.
