EDIT: started dl'ing at about 9:30p, and still at 84% now. and 'wolf informs me that theyre extending it for another four days, adding a weekend to the beta.
good move on their behalf..
i still wanna be playing RIGHT NOW tho.

EDIT 2: got in, lots of matchmaking problems, lots of resetting. halo still rocks, played til 2:45a. VIP isnt what i thought it was.. not bad after all. still suck at team slayer, but not bad at the land grabs/ assaults/ etc. never hit a 16player or ctf.. mongoose is fun. mancannons are interesting. spike grenades rock. that laser rules. adapter real fast to directional for team chat instead of white button for team chat. sucks i lost frostsoldier/frostmerc and lonewolf just before 2, and played a bit with the guy from sushi station.. good times.


wow halo 3 hits, and im ready for bed *before* i normally go. heh

halo3

beta starts today [wed] 7am.

la la laa

new downloadable maps and content in r6: vegas and halo2, and the new Hard Mode in Guild Wars hit earlier in the week, alongside another Reward Weekend in GW. sunday night rolls around, and what's the hit of the bbq? SingStar!

i'm slowly beginning to realize why karaoke isn't all that bad :)

ok, so TMNT was fun, but without a way to keep continuing [like Gauntlet on XBLA] i've only made it so far.. course, we still need to try it 4player stylee.

but now i saw THIS on the new releases schedule.. TETRIS EVOLUTION. *that* i can sink my teeth into. 4-player over live? i might actually discourage my normal xbl buddies from geting it; i'd feel too bad for constantly wiping the floor with them ;)

[yeah thats right, bring. it.]
{damn amazon one-click, and Prime also}

heroes on the half shell

wednesday. can't wait.
so that's 3.. if it lets you bring along a friend, gar's raph ;)

who am i kidding.. he'll be lesson planning.. justin, get a 360 :)

hehe sigh.. NObody likes playing raph.. hahah playing raph is like getting the hump seat in the car as a kid. ;) dumb tiny sais.
and i'm seconding the vote for the simpsons arcade game next to xbla.. if i were to get an arcade cabinet for the basement, that one's on the short list.
[unless it came to xbla, of course]
