So... is Starcraft 2 pretty fun?

Yeah. It's pretty enjoyable. Seems to be a lot of different strategies for each race. The graphics are pretty solid as well.

I really need to find a sc2 strategy guide. It seems whenever I figure something out, I run into something else. A friend and I went 4-0. Then the next 5 games we lost. It seems we ran into different problems everytime.



wow: I'm thinking about transferring my lock to frostwolf. Not sure.

Just bought Red Dead Redemption, is it worthy of the rave reviews on IGN?

SO worthy. I haven't beaten it yet but from what I have played I have had a great time. I got it like 3 weeks ago. (Long story: I beat a bunch of missions and had auto save turned off. I maybe played for like 3 hours nonstop. Then my xbox froze and all of the missions were reset. I have dreaded the moment I have to go back and redo everything.)

Fallout 3 was amazing. I spent too much time in Fairfax trying to find my condo though.

Of course I start out playing like my personality in real life, helping everyone and having good karma. The other part of me wants to start a new character and kill/blow up everything in my path :twisted: Not sure how much of the game content I'd miss out on though.

The demo didn't impress me. I'm going to stick with NCAA again this year.

I'm downloading it right now. Speaking of which, the huge problem with NCAA is the progression issues - makes dynasty unplayable.

If I don't like the demo, there's a very good chance I'm not getting the game. If they can fix progression, I'll just stick with NCAA.

They released a tuner update today that fixed progression pretty much. Teams no longer are all terrible after 5-6 years.

Zero interest in spending 60 dollars on Madden 10.5. Looks like no different than 10, except for gameflow, which I would disable immediately.

I've been playing NCAA all morning.

What a fun game.

Feels like I'm playing the series I fell in love with back on the PS2 days.

It's a lot of fun. Road to Glory kind of sucks just because it's too easy (Heisman as a freshman WR :lol:), but everything else is great.

I'm playing w/ Buffalo right now. I'm going to work my way up to a five star team.

I created a 1-star team in Helena, Montana and put them in the MWC. I use BYU's stadium - it's gorgeous. The Rocky Mountain backdroup is amazing.

What I love about the dynasty is that it's actually really hard to build a terrible team up. Last year? 2-3 years, top 15. this year? In my third year, should get to 7-8 wins.

Damn, Montana was my next stop. I made the University of Alaska (at Fairbanks), 1 star team in the WAC... I gave them some good pitches, like A+ stability (because I'll never leave), B+ fan base, etc. Just finished the first season, I'm in the Roady's Humanitarian Bowl against Baylor now. My goal is to get to the Pac 10 by 2013 (not sure if they still have conference invites, but I remember last year with Rice I got invited to the Big 12).
