Heart attack, I believe.

Your job exposes you to new places and new people constantly. While it can be exciting at times, it can also be stressful. When you are exposed to so many unknown variables at such a frequent rate, you tend to want to fall back on what's familiar to you, i.e. old games.

Wait... Was that a rhetorical question?

Yeah.

I think it is because as you look upon the greatness of the next generation, inside you know you'll never be able to go back and play your old favorites with the same sense of wonder and innocence.  You feel a increasing sense of loss, like a childless woman entering menopause. Unable to stop the forward progress of time you are bargaining with the choices of your past.

Or I just really like certain games and I want to replay them but I kind of feel guilty that I spent all this money on other games and I should get through them first.

Curt Schilling has been  working his ass off on ESPN since the whole company went down. He needs that money.

How far back does your property go?

and then about the same in the back yard.

Well said GG but with all the tech stuff you are talking jibberish to me. I am sure everything you said is true, but I go by what I see and even if this was all some giant magic trick it looked stunning and better than anything I have played (I am a console gamer remember). I know what this gens graphics look like, that was something more. If this is truely for PS3/360 then yes that video is a target demo that the actual game will not live up to. Kojima claims this is done with specs at a PS3 level so that is probably why all the stuff you mentioned is the way it is. The engine is very impressive, especially the animation, facial and movement, for third person games that is very important. A FPS doesnt need to worry about animations cause you never see the character. I will always be more impressed by a good third person engine than one shown in FPS because that is what I enjoy playing the most.

I love the look of the cutscenes and character animation in the Ground Zeros video. When it comes to judging graphics I think we should be looking at the environment first and foremost though. It would have been cool to see some more transitions in the video between gameplay and cutscene.

Here is one of my cats not caring about kangaroos. (Roo is in center of frame)

Not caring? He's stalking it!

Mrs. Aspro had to go to the states for a week. So she only had a carry-on.

I said, "You are going to get the interrogation treatment if you only take carry-on, make sure you have your story straight". (Because, as if it needs to be said, taking carry-on only on an international flight is a red flag these days).

So she said, "I'm going to check it so they don't pull me aside".  Which I think is daft, because they'll pull her anyway since she has an underweight solo bag that is checked.

I'm right right? She's going to go through the whole checking bag procedure just to avoid beaing interrogated (they always interrogate her anyway).

This is a golden opportunity -- to fly international and not have to worry about luggage -- gangnam style -- and she's blowing it!
