I just want better, more original games. XBLA needs to stop pushing out old arcade emulation (no more Digital Eclipse shovelware) and shabby uses of popular franchises (Wing Commander Arena, anyone?).

I'd love to see more quirky, original games like Cloning Clyde, Marble Blast Ultra, and the crack-tastic Puzzle Quest.

However, I suspect Microsoft has some pretty stringent policies when it comes to creating games for XBLA. The paperwork and bureaucracy may be a serious hurdle for tiny, indie publishers.

Well, there's been persistent talk of a Splinter Cell movie. Although Michael Ironside is the voice of Sam Fisher, he certainly doesn't look the part. It could be that they're looking for someone less well-known for when they cast the movie.

I bought my DS on Black Friday (11/23). On 11/23, my Brain Age was 59. Yesterday, 11/26, my Brain Age was a perfect 20.

I got to 20 in 4 days.

Sadly, I'm not too interested in keeping it up. I expected the improvement to be much more gradual. I don't think I'm really THAT sharp.

Or maybe I am. Hm.
