Morning Discussion

by Alice O'Connor, Dec 28, 2009 5:00am PST

It truly is the most wonderful time of the year. Friends and family gather round, feasts are held three days in a row and there's enough half-melted refrozen snow slush for you to feel some kind of victory. Unless, of course, so much flu courses through your veins that even your sloshed uncle is more alert, stabler and a better conversationalist than you.

I ended up mostly playing King's Bounty: Armored Princess. It's fun. That's my review.

I've tried almost every potion, poultice, syrup, pill, powder, lozenge and tincture under the sun, all to no avail. Desperate times call for desperate measures and it'll be a cold day in Walthamstow before I let Kwanzaa be ruined too so if I'm not on the mend by tomorrow it'll be the ole Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap. Dilute! Dilute! O.K.!

shack I've been on the fence all weekend. First off I "thought" I wanted a PS3 for Xmas. Basically i have the cash to go buy one. In support my wife bought me little big planet GOTY edition for Xmas. I figured it would be a fun co-op game to play with her.

But then i started to think about it, and what would be my reasons for buying a PS3? I have a pretty current PC, Xbox 360, blue ray player and a Wii. I can't think of many ps3 exclusive games that excite me. I do want to play LBP and Infamous thou, but I don't know if 2 games justify almost $400 bucks for a console. (console + 2nd controller + game). Plus I don't know if i can see myself buying a PS3 version of a nonexclusive game over a xbox 360 version.

what would a gaming jesus do?

  If I already had a bluray player and a 360 I couldn't justify it. Infamous is a great game but not worth the cost of a new console.
