DS over the 3DS? What the shit?

Man, I sure would love to watch this behind the scenes video of the CoD "Surprise" commercial on my Xbox. But having it buffer every two seconds is just so amazing I think I'll pass.

Oh, and Pro Tip for all you Xbox guys, don't try backing out of a video while it's buffering unless you like your console freezing.

How on Earth I can play a frantic shooter online with tons of other people without any issues but I can't watch a two minute video without it buffering every second is dumbfounding.

Bought GTA4 today for $10 used ... wanted to play something that wasn't sports. Wasn't sure I had played GTA4 when it came out. Five seconds as Niko ... yup, played it. For $10, why not re-play it. I love Grand Theft Auto, though I preferred GTA3.

Now I just have to find a great pro wrestling game. I haven't played a pro wrestling game in so long.

Oh, and I know I've said it several times in the PSN thread but the trophy update can FUCK THE FUCK OFF!

Fix that shit Sony, you fucking morons. Nothing like taking ten minutes to check my trophies. Don't even think of comparing them with someone on your friends' list.

I got Tropico 4 on the Steam sale, went in blind as I've never played a Tropico game before but I am loving it. For some reason I always thought it was a cheap knockoff of Sim City, but that's definitely not the case. When I bought it I was figuring I'd get to it eventually after I finish some of the other games I've got in my backlog but it has definitely overtaken them all...

I was interested in Tropico 4 during the Steam sale, but I didn't pull the trigger. I'll get it the next time it's $5.

I smell a huge gaming binge in my future once I get home from graduation on the 14th. Got so much shit to do these final 2 weeks that who knows if I'll be able to pop in a fucking game. Two 10-15 page papers, a presentation and gotta wrap up my internship work and present it to the coordinator, pluuuus a final exam. I cannot wait for this shit to be done. Going to finish up Hitman: Absolution and Assassin's Creed 2, get balls deep in Far Cry 3, finally play the COD campaign, maybe even do an endurance race in GT5.

So I've learned to setup and stream some of my PC gaming. My comp which is 5 years old at this point can still handle it for the most part but I'm playing on lower settings. Might try and couple single player games soon and see how it goes.
