Send me District 9

I've been nice. Now gimme!

The scariest thing I ever saw in the dark was my cat jumping out of my drop ceiling when I was searching for the scratchy noise. I pick up a square, and I'm looking and looking and all of a sudden out jumps my cat.

My favorite character is Cole. His commentary is funny, yet he's serious when he has to be. He seems to be the most realistic character on the COG side.

I'm most excited for the War Machine remake map. I love getting original maps remade for Gears 2. I'm still hoping Escalation comes out in the future. It was one of my favorite close combat maps.

I was shocked about Project Natal. Yeah we knew there was a 3d camera coming, but the demo was impressive, and if it works as planned, I definitely consider it a high point from the show, for me anyway. I especially like the little things it does, like allow me to browse through movies and screen without using a controller. Guess we'll see if it works when it actually comes out, whenever that may be.

I wish they would get rid of the concussive effect on all grenades for good. I do however like the 5v5 component, but I do like the idea of having an old school weekend. Maybe they should offer "old-school" as a match type to choose. Rerelease all of the maps from the originals and get rid of ink grenades and concussion effect and everything else. It would be an option I would try every once in a while just to mix things up. As long as Epic keeps doing new things every once in a while I will continue to play this game.

I have my dog do the pre-rinse before I load them into the dishwasher. I call out pre-rinse as I'm going to load the dishwasher, and the dog comes a-runnin'. Even if she's in a deep sleep, she'll wake up to get a taste of that spaghetti sauce, or a drip of ketchup, or maybe some cheese. It works every time.

I like the change. I enjoy all the news from all sites being in the same place. Keep up the good work everyone.

My favorite Gears 2 moment so far is the midnight launch. My friend preordered Gears for my birthday, so I showed up with him at a midnight launch, and was given the game actually 15 minutes early. Not only that, but I showed up in my huge tennis shoe-style slippers at the launch. Then returned home and played for roughly 5 hours.
