I'm getting a very strong first impression of FFXIII. It effectively pays tribute to some of the best FFs in the series, including FFVII, FFVIII, and FFX. It is also laugh-out-loud funny at times, regarding the chocobo riding in Sazh's hair and Vanille's character, who reminded me a lot of a younger, cuter, more naive version of Phoebe from Friends. UPDATE: This game is not good and I traded it in to Gamestop toward an Xbox 360 250 GB AKA Xbox 360 "Slim."

Green Zone is a fantastic movie. The people that are writing that this game is anti-American are out of their minds. Green Zone is a highly pro-American movie, if the America we stand for and believe in is about truth and justice. If the America we stand for is about money, greed, power, corruption, rapacity, violence, and retardation, then yes, Green Zone is an amazingly anti-American film.

1. Web Browser. Yes 720p and 1080p web browsing would be very nice 2. 720p and 1080p DVD upscaling, or upconverting, whatever. UPDATE: 360 does have #2 but still no #1. Retarded.

I finally beat this game, after a few hours of grinding SP on the Southwestern Deserted Island. The ending wasn't great, which was a fitting way to end a mediocre game. Next up is Lost Odyssey.

Bruce Bowen didn't even start last season, barely getting minutes off the bench. You can't call him a defensive force anymore. Jefferson, on the other hand, was a consistent 17 - 19 PPG all season, and then he really stepped into the go-to scorer role during the last two months of the season. He was hitting jumpshots very consistently (the "weakest" part of his game). More than Jefferson, I am concerned with "Old Man" Tim Duncan, and "Fragile Freddy" Manu Ginobli.

This is a response to an ill-informed Youtube video comment. james white is so overrated if he is so good why didnt his team go anywhere except down the drain He's not overrated - as a player. Just because he's a good dunker doesn't make him a good basketball player. I understand where you're coming from. First of all, I would like to address the incongruity of "athletic" and "good jumper". You can be athletic without being a good jumper, but as far as basketball players go, everyone who can jump is considered "athletic", and that's retarded. Michael Jordan shifted the paradigms by which basketball excellence was measured because he was skilled, as well as a good jumper. However, many fans think, and even general managers now will draft a player with a good vertical but with little basketball skill, over a bad jumper with high basketball skill, because they think a player can gain skill with practice, whereas a player can not...

Yay, I finally beat Twilight Princess. Nice graphics in the cutscenes. Zelda, Midna, and Ganondorf looked great for Gamecube graphics. I'm glad the final dungeon was very short. Thank you, Nintendo. Ocarina of Time is still the best Zelda
