Nope, but 360 is the better system for FPS... only one exception comes to mind.

You'll have one after this week... Won't you...?

I am trying to catch up on real world news, poor Japan, its so horrible whats going on. The plants are lost and it seems like it can be a huge disaster if they dont do something soon. Whats the death toll at? How are they getting power if the plants are done? How bad is this for the future of Japan? Stupid question in the grand scheme of things but what does this mean for our favorite Japanese game companies? (Nintendo prints money, they should save Japan)

And are we going to war with Lybia? Holy hell.

7,000 dead in Japan so far.

Nintendo is mostly untouched despite being close by to the quake.

No, I have way too much to play on the PS3, no reason to get a 360 at the moment. Plus its 3DS week. I have a flight on the 27th, I cant wait to show off the 3DS, I'll be the coolest guy on the plane.

Yeah. Stay away from CNN right now. It has multiple videos of before, during and after the quake and Tsunami.

Hey Vader! When's your BirthDay?
Sunday. I dont get back to Miami till tomorrow at 11:30 EST, ugh. But I get to explore St. Louis tomorrow, I will check out the arch.

I once had a friend who saw his car get stolen when he was up in the arch looking down.

He was like, "Hey look you can see our car!" Then he was like, "That guy's smashing our window!" Of course this was all before cell phones. Imagine seeing that and not being able to do anything about it. St Louis used to be a rough, rough city in the early 90's. I don't know if it still that way. Around that time I read an article in Time about how they were so broke the parking meters were not working because they were jammed with quarters (they had no money for parking enforecement or for people to empty them). It prompted me to consider starting a business where I'd have people collect the money for a share of the revenue -- a pretty good idea I thought. But after researching it the unions had the whole thing sewn up -- no private contractors in the municipalities around where I lived.

Do you follow baseball at all? I used to love going to the greater Phoenix area for Spring training every couple of years. I love that city, but then I did stay in Scottsdale and spent most of my time in Tempe.
