    It was weird. I'd say "Get out more" to myself, but anytime I do, I see Idlethumbs in the real world. Between "Gaymers" beer, "Scoops" ice cream parlor, "Boost" energy drink and chocolate bar and anything else, ever, it's so bad. And great.

    Edit: I used the Bargo Busters thread as a template for this OP. Jesus Christ, I almost had a heartattack when Jake shouted BARGO BUSTERS.

    Ah, fair enough. I intend to go back for a Master's, which would be two years here as well, but I am torn between doing what I originally went into school to do and continuing with Philosophy and seeing if I can make a career in academia out of it. As such, I'm taking a year off before applying to grad school for next year. During this year, I will continue to work my current very nice job and also get some volunteer work done. While doing this, I hope that my competing ambitions will go into a full-on battle and will apply for whichever kind of Master's degree the surviving one recommends.

    How is funding for masters degrees in Canada friend? It's a bit of a hassle in the UK, I'd love to go for one.

    I just bought a PS3 earlier for a nice £180 and I couldn't be happier. I traded in 7 360 games for a whopping £91 and bought 7 PS3 games.

    I'm very excited!

    About to get cracking with my 4th 3000 word essay this week. I don't understand why British universities (Or my ghetto one) makes every piece of late game work in for the start of third term, and have 0 classes in that time, except people who do exams (Not me).

    I have to write a research report about Visual pleasure and Aesthetics in video games and animé for tomorrow, this is horrible. I have such fatigue from the relentless onsaught of work in for the same week, it's insane and frustrating.

    I tend to agree with this, though with Forza 3 I take an exception, the VIP car pack has since been released on the marketplace and a continuous effort has been made to give those with the VIP car pack an enhanced experience, without reducing that of those without.

    Yeah. I mean in regards to things like Mass Effect 2, with the enhanced weaponry and stuff. And in the States, there's different bonuses depending where you get it from, which is creeping towards us now aswell.

    Why should I have to buy it from Game over Gamestation when Game gives you an extra 20% damage weapon, where the Gamestation preorder is 20% speed (For want of a much better example).

    I just don't see how they punish consumers, as it were, for not pre-ordering it. I mean I can see WHY they do it, but I don't think it's "Right".

    Then again, games and ethical publishing. Can of worms.
