Every. Single. Object.

Good God. Pete can never, ever have this game. Because he would never, ever stop playing.

(Actually, he hasn't been playing that much RDR, because he's on a deadline.)

L.A. Noir has been on my shopping list for a long time. However, it has had a troubled production. I won't make a final buying decision until I'm able to see a lot more of the game.

However, it has had a troubled production.

With that kind of goal, I can see why.

As soon as you're not under deadline, we'll have to play some RDR Live, Pete.

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

I'm so behind the curve. I'm still working around to buying Mass Effect 2. Also Bioshock 2.

Hell, I don't even own any Halo game AT ALL.

Our wings are not tired

I own Gears of War 2. I even purchased it the day it came out.

It is still in the shrink wrap.

My schedule sucks.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I think the last computer game I bought was Age of Empires II. I do, on the other hand, own over a hundred board games.

The DH has been playing Saints Row 2. He doesn't know it, but his avatar is Jilli.

His av's a female with long straight black hair, and she's wearing a long black and pink skirt, a black Victorian top, black and pink Victorian boots, fingerless black gloves with pink bows, and a black top hat with pink ribbon.

It's kinda funny watching Jilli run around Chicago tossing grenades and shooting gang-bangers.

That's hilarious. You should show him a picture.
