I'm still playing World of Warcraft (it's still new to me).

I picked up Guitar Hero 80's for the PS2, but I haven't cracked it open yet. Maybe tomorrow.

I played a bit of GH2 last night. Got 4 stars on medium on Free Bird, but the songs that come in the last two levels most don't appeal to me. Vicki, either. So that leaves me not really wanting to play them, and Vicki not wanting me to play them when she's around. But I want the stuff you unlock when you get 5 stars on all songs on medium.

Then we played a bit of Halo3, but were having some serious lag issues. It's just not fun when you can't even see a guy that's shooting at you until you're already dead.

I think I'm almost finished with Mass Effect. The main story seems...overly brief. If you ignored all the side quests, I don't think it'd take more than 10 hours to finish the main story. I hope I'm wrong about that. I remember the main story in KOTOR taking 2 hours.

Still, it's been a great game, I've had a blast playing it. Just hard, because Vicki's behind me, and I don't want to ruin story elements by playing when she's around.

Are you going to get on XBox Live?

Yeah, I just need a long ethernet cable. How can I have the PC and 360 connected to my modem at the same time?

Ultimate Alliance is really fun. The intercom at the HQ made me laugh, "Johnny Storm would like to congratulate Ben Grimm on his 65th birthday."

Just get a cheap router and you can run both at the same time.

3 games i'm playing for the Wii at the moment:

1) Guitar Hero III
2) Smackdown! vs Raw 2008
3) Madden 2008

enjoying them all but my wife is enjoying GH III the most!

I played Raw vs Smackdown on the Wii but could only do the same three moves. I'm thinking of getting it for the 360 so I can get revenge on Carlito with William Regal.

i've slowly learned more moves but would have liked it if the classic remote was compatible with this game. its just more natural then waving my arms in the air 2-3 times to do one move.

Overall its probably the weakest SD vs RAW! i've played. The career mode is kind of lame. nothing happens in the ring in terms of storyline. I gotta go back to the dressing room and find out through my cell phone about my rivalries and such.

Finished Mass Effect on Sunday. thought I was on the hard setting, but realized later that I'd never saved those preferences, so it was on normal. Fun, fun fun. Classis sci fi story, with some classic genre moments. Vicki still hasn't finished it, so I still don't want to give any spoilers away.

Looked through the achievement list once I was finished, and decided to start again right away with an eye to getting more of them. I managed to get Paragon, and most of the other achievements, but didn't get a single class/race achievement, which I wish I'd checked into sooner. Means I'll have to play through at least three more times to get all of them. Have it set to hardcore now, and can tell already that combat is more difficult, and I'm even a soldier this time around. Working on Renegade, trying to max out the Renegade score this time around.

It was a tough call, whether to start Mass Effect again, or try to work on finish Halo 3 on Legendary more. I think Mass Effect won out because I want to be able to see the story elements again while the whole thing is still fresh. And I'm trying to see if I can spot Dwight Schultz's voice work.

I unlocked my first character, Dr. Strange. And there was a great Nightcrawler cut scene.

EDIT: Also Deadpool's conversation with the Ancient One was so funny.

I sent friend requests to MoneyMelon, Croaker, and algertman. My gamertag is misac if anyone wants to send a friend request.

Just sent you one.

I just beat Mass Effect for the first time today, and am beginning another playthrough.

Damn, I like this game.

I should be on today or tomorrow and will accept it.

As soon as I finished the first time, I debated whether I wanted to start again right away, or try to make more progress on beating Halo 3 on Legendary.

Mass Effect won out. I checked the achievements I didn't get, and set out to get Renegade and start working on the character ally achievements. Asari is supposed to be the most difficult, and I may have completed too many Citidel quests before getting Liara to get it. Even if I manage that, I'll have to play through two more times before getting all the companion achievments.

Even though I've done most of the quests, I've found a couple I missed, and I know there were some I wasn't able to complete for various reasons. Plus I didn't realize there were quests that are only available to certain background combinations.

I really hope that Bioware sticks with this franchise. KOTOR II was so soulless...it looked, felt, sounded like KOTOR, but you could tell it wasn't the same thing.

Well, I went and picked up Mass Effect yesterday. I've barely started playing it, but it seems really cool.
