"Yey! I got my CPU....I mean Xbox today...."

Cancelled my online order and decided to treck down to the shops and get one, I hate waiting.

So far I'm not at all impressed.....with the weight, only took me about 5 minutes to get home, in that short space of time I had to keep swapping arms that I was carrying the bag in because they were aching so much. Thank god the shops are only a few minutes from my house, i'd have had to get a taxi otherwise. What really made me laugh was the girl behind the till put the console in a bag and as she was passing it to me, the handles broke.

Anyway I got Halo (of course) MGS2: Substance and Jet Set Radio Future. So far from what i've played of Halo it's gonna be a bloody brilliant game, excellent mass battle type things and most of the guns rock my socks. ONe thing I don't like is the bit on the 2nd level where you have to drive the Warthog, those things handle terribly, i just wanted to get out and shoot stuff normally. Small gripe though because the rest of the stuff i've done rocked.

JSR: future from what i've played is gonna be just as good as the 1st game if not better, not particuarly enthralled by the new graffiti method or the lamp post climbing but i'll get used to it.

Haven't bothered with MGS2 yet.

So far so good then, first product i've ever owned from Microsoft that i've been completly satisfied with.

You called?

:P

"When stupidity and the internet collide"

'I'm telling you, it can't be beat'

You're telling everyone else here that this is the best and nothing can be better.


And you're missing the point. Which was, that if someone says something Goatboy disagrees with he immediatly jumps at the chance to say that they are trying to force their opinions on others, even though in this cas eI clearly wasn't.

But if it's someone agreeing with him then suddenly it's okay. And even though I didn't think you were trying to force your opinion on everyone else, it did sound more like you were than anything I had said.

I think you're perhaps taking my words a little too literally...

And I missed the bit where I said 'this is the best and you have to agree'

*reads again*

Nope, not there.

That looks more like someone trying to enforce an opinion than anything I said.

When did I say that?

And not forgetting the bit where the Chief in a Warthog, with another Warthog alongside, dash through the city and intercept the Covenant convoy.

Or the bit where the bombers roar overhead and knockout the Covenant emplacement, or where the Chief mans a gun emplacement, or the fact the whole lot moves like silk and is the best footage seen of a game ever.

Yes, quite exciting.

Yup, it does look very impressive.

Liked the double hand guns and also the way Master Chief jumps on the bike and knocks the driver off.

The ingame footage of Halo 2 is way impressive.

Having read about Halo 2. There are fights in a 'concreted up' metropolis.
I remember there are going to be burnt out cars which can be moved as shields. Also you'll be able to hi-jack vehicles by knocking drivers out with a punch.
