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.

move out and draw fire

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.

I want a picture!

fingerless black gloves with pink bows,

Note to self: you need to make a pair of those.

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

Wait for Halo: REACH out in September. Vastly more fun than Halo 3.

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

Certainly. I actually have a bunch of friends playing the game. I've only dipped into multiplayer once though and decided I'm not going back until I've finished single player. I was seeing locations and using guns that I haven't gotten to in Single player and it all felt kind of spoilery because of it.

I think I'm getting a headache.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

My schedule sucks.

I know the feeling, ND. I got Dragon Age: Origins and installed it, but haven't played it further than the opening conversation. I also have Batman: Arkham Asylum, The Orange Box and I think one or two other games that are still shrink-wrapped.

Okay, for those of you playing RDR, after the first third, when you head into Mexico, turn up the sound for a bit. There's a very nice treat.
