Really no need for anymore games for awhile. Does that mean I can resist buying more? Probably not.

"Scientists in the United States have enabled a paralysed woman to lift a drink to her lips with a thought-controlled robotic arm, boosting hopes quadriplegics may regain their independence."

I think we all know where this ends:

Check out that photo of her. Amateurs. They are smart enough to make thought controlled robots, but not smart enough to pick up the phone to Pepsi and get some endorsement money?

Now, see... isn't this better (also took out the dude, he was off-message).

Can you record your impressions of Diablo 3 and send them to me? I've been thinking of adding a "special correspondents" type section of the podcast exclusively for first week impressions of major releases.

It would preferably be about 3-4 minutes long, in your own words, unwritten (no reading).

It's a great way for the podcast to have coverage of big games that the hosts may not have played as well as continue the premise of community participation as the VGPress' ethos.

If anyone is interested in doing this, PM me and I'll give you the details, but it's a simple matter of using your gaming mic (or smartphone) to record an MP3 file and either uploading it or e-mailing it to me.

You forgot to add an advertising board in place of the guy. You could fit a lot of sponsor logos in his place. Also she should be wearing a shirt with sponsor logos. Pepsi is a start, but overall I'd say there's a lot of wasted space here.

Are you actually in Orlando or is like when you were an hour outside of Dallas? If you're actually in town, utterly bored, and staying another night and need comapny for dinner hit me up. At the very least I can steer you away from the worst places to eat.

I am in Orlando. Tomorrow I leave after I work though. My brother lives in Lakeland so I usually go to his place. I do this trip every month it seems so maybe next time.

WTF is wrong with you? He even asked you to come, you did not had to do anything! Seriously man up and do stuff.

Disappointed after reading the Eurogamer review of Mario Tennis.  At least it seems that the core mechanics and gameplay are still very well in place they just left it very bare bones in terms of features and modes etc, which is a shame.

I'm still getting the game, day 1, as I loved the Gamecube version so much and had wonderful evenings of multiplayer fun (playing doubles with 4 human opponents is just really amazing).  I hope a few others here get it too so we can have some mp sessions as I don't like playing against random people online.

Sounds fun but I don't plan on starting it until i beat Demon's Souls. Somebody else here will probably beat me to playing it.

Multiplayer Gamecube was dope. Mario golf too.

Well, keep us in mind, even if I'm not the host that week I still edit it and I can give the hosts a heads up.

Offer stands to anyone who gets a game in the launch week and wants to give us impressions.  I'll blog about this later with more detail, so everyone gets the message.

The Diablo 3 CE is awesome...maybe the best one I've ever had.

It comes in that awesome hard box that's about 15 inches high and 5 inches deep. You pull the top off and inside is an amazing hard shell artbook, a making of DVD, The Game, a nifty looking case that has the Diablo skull and USB Soulstone (that has Diablo 2 on it) inside it, and a bunch of free passes for friends to join the game. Really nice Blizzard.
