It's surprising that a lot of people that I know who play Live are mostly casual fans. All they play is Modern Warfare 2. That's it, nothing else. Or Madden.

It's what their friends play so that's what they'll buy.

I have one guy on my friend's list and he's on every freaking day. But all he plays is MW2. He plays nothing else. I expect 70% of people who buy 360's is in that crowd.

Modern Warfare is the hardest of the hardcore, dude.

X-Com update, I reloaded an old save so everyone is alive again. I ignored the city attack, we aren't ready for that. Not much else happened in Feb so the reports came back negative, we lost funding. But now I have alien weapons, so we all got shiny new plasma rifles. There was a UFO, I took it down and we are off on a mission.

This time I had a tank so that was the scout, coast was clear. The whole team came out and we spread out. I found the medium UFO (its 3 stories tall) and sent two teams to surround the entrance. Steel, GG and Jill was one team. As they came around the edge of the UFO GG spotted an alien at a distance and because he is a badass he got it. The other team of me, Kaz, Lara, and Iga surrounded another entrance. Foolz went off with the tank to investigate homes. Yoda and Homer I sent to search the other areas, which ended up with them wandering  together in some bushes.

We enter the UFO, Lara spots an alien but misses, my character comes in and takes it out. We all enter the UFO and team GG is the first to go up to the second floor. Its a small room with three doors, they surround each one. GG opens one of the doors and two aliens are standing there. I move GG cause if I kill one alien the other one will quickly kill GG. So steel now has a better shot at both and he kills one but his stray gun fire kills GG. I dont want friendly fire to kill GG so I reloaded a save, this time Steel takes care of business. The whole team moves to the second floor. Meanwhile outside I see a door was open to a farm home, the same home Foolz is in. I slowly look around and there it is in the corner. I just have enough TP for one shot, if Foolz misses the alien has a clean shot in his turn.Foolz shoots and kills the alien.

In the UFO the aliens pop out of a door, GG instantly kills it. There are more aliens in that room they fire but miss. Now they try to take over my characters mind. I panic. Lara enters the room and kills the aliens inside. The team moves up to go to the third floor. Next turn I go under alien control, luckily I dropped my weapons when I paniced. We sweep the third floor and kill the two aliens left. Mission over but since I was under alien control I am considered dead.

I will have to create me again. GG has 6 kills right now, Steel has 4, both have not been promoted.

You need to take some deep breaths!

So this year Nintendo is offering up the calendar again for the Gold members and this year the Platinum members get this. . .

The hat and the Punch-Out game were much better offerings than this. Lord Robio is not pleased.

When you pre-order off Amazon, do they wait until the game ships to take your money?

That is correct. You can reserve whenever you want, but the charge doesn't occur till it ships.

Oh man Castlevania: LoS is looking quite beautiful indeed. It is different seeing the Clocktower without enemies but I'm cool with staying focused on just the platforming sections too. So can't wait for this game.

I'm not. No Medusa heads no sale.

(ok I'm getting it regardless)
