What did you all play this weekend?
I played THIS magnificent game all weekend, whilst snowbound in my apartment!
She's so Phallic and Booblicious all at the same time, she leaves me confuzzled!
If you kinda squint your eyes, her lance is a shaft and her shield is der testes! It even has a pee hole!
Wah!
(This is the world that I'm on now)
And some of this:
(I'm about halfway through the World 3 in World of Goo)

Now Playing: Golden Sun Dark Dawn, God of War Ghost of Sparta, and DKC Returns
On a Zelda binge. Trying to beat OoT before the end of the year, also playing the original Zelda and Phantom Hourglass. And now this:
Square Enix announced today that domestic shipments for Dragon Quest IX have crossed the 4.15 million mark.
An announcement for 4 million would be understandable. An announcement for 4.5 million, sure. But 4.15 million?
The reason this particular figure was chosen is because it represents the point where DQIX became the number one best selling (well, shipping) Dragon Quest game ever.
Previously, the record was held by Dragon Quest VII, which hit the PlayStation in 2000. As a comparison, here are the shipments for all past numbered DQ games, as shared by ITmedia back in June (based off data from the 2008 CESA White Paper):
Dragon Quest: 1.5 million
Dragon Quest II: 2.41 million
Dragon Quest III: 3.77 million
Dragon Quest IV: 3.04 million
Dragon Quest V: 2.79 million
Dragon Quest VI: 3.19 million
Dragon Quest VII: 4.14 million
Dragon Quest VIII: 3.68 million
Since its release in July, Square Enix has been continuing to promote Dragon Quest IX, both through television commercials and new content. The game sees new download quests every week, a program Square Enix has said would continue for a year following the game's release.
Previously, Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada has said that he expects the game to top the five million sales mark.
EDGE scores. I'll wait to see what others say, but that's too bad about Astro Boy.

Listen to Wu-Tang and watch Kung-Fu

It's was an all Modern Warfare 2 weekend for me. I prestiged yesterday. Woo hoo! More challenges to go for now.
Also Banjo Nuts & Bolts is more then worth a measly $20, I say get it.
What are prestiges, precious?
Final boss on both games.
Playing New Super Mario Bros Wii.
The final boss is on of the best bosses ever! I also collected all star coins in world 1 to 8. I am now *spoilers* finishing world 9. 9-1 to 9-3 are done
They are ways to verify that I'm the best there is at what I do. The 'what I do' part is something I'll leave up to your imaginations.Actually each time you reach level 70 in online multiplayer you can "trade it in" and start over at level 1 again but it opens up more challenges to try to obtain as well as more callsigns and emblems that those who have prestiged are able to get.
I think you can prestige up to 10× in this game. Right now I prestiged once and am currently at level 28 towards my next one.
