I personally LOVE heroics and wish Blizzard would add some uber hard heroics with gear on the par of at least 10-man raids.
As a retribution paladin, a class with some of the most utility in the game, its awesome knowing that I can turn a shit group into a win singlehandedly. I refuse to gearcheck when I run heroics because I have fun making bad groups work.
I can blessing of protection people, taunt off the tank and use divine protection (where I tank 50% less damage, and can pretty much effectively tank a heroic boss for 10 seconds) when it seems like he's going to go down (or use lay on hands on him), put hand of salvation on people who don't have omen installed, switch to judgement of light when raid heals seem to be a bit weak, taunt adds away from the healer/clothies, divine sacrifice where it will make a noticeable difference, hand of sacrifice to keep a fellow DPS alive...
Didn't mean to make that an OMG I LOVE RET paragraph, but I find it upsetting that all of that utility uses its usefulness in 25-mans. In 10-mans it's still pretty good, but not quite as game-changing. Ret is nowhere near as fun to play in raids as in heroics, and its upsetting.
I'm proud of myself. I've managed to keep myself from buying a DS; I have an overwhelming to buy it, pokemon diamond, and beat it in as few sittings as possible.
I'm not a fan of any other handheld game, so it'd be just for pokemon. Learning that the wireless play was all nerfed made it easier to pass it up.
I'm a PC gamer only, but I'm getting really tempted to get a 360.
Not only is Halo amazing, but multiplayer on PC cannot touch Xbox live. I'm really hoping Windows Live comes in and gives us something of the same caliber.
