NHL 10 comes out the day I start writing the UFE.

Do well on exam and help my career, or go buy really sweet-looking game? Decisions, decisions…

My Xbox died last week. :(

I have a backup Xbox that was returned to me after the RED_RING_OF_DEPRESSION hit me the second time. I went through such hell getting the first replaced I bought one and rolled the dice waiting on the replacement. I’m Haeyena on XBL if anyone want to ask me to join their EASHL team. I’m RW or RD. Yeah, I’m a nerd

and it’s absolutely sick. I’m going to get my ass kicked online, but it will be fun. NHL 06 was the one we never saw on Xbox. Instead I played the Fredo-on-the-box 2K6

Add me as a friend on XBox so I know when people are on

I posted more on Ian White – this time in his favour.

I know probably going to get some e-rage for this, but the PS3 provides a significantly better gaming experience. I would however like to I assure you I am not advocating for PS3 as a fanbooy or an anti-360 postion, without good reason. I have frolicked in both next-gen consol fields and one left me quite unsatisfied.

I started out with a 360 (PS3s launch price was completely ridiculous), and after it dies on me 3 times (in the span of a year and a half) and scratched the sh!t out of many of my games, to the point where they are no longer playable was the first thing that soured me. Next was the attrocious customer service they provide. The warrenty the provide is crap, its 3 months or 6 months or whatever it is and not a single day more, not even when one of your consoles breaks and they send in a new one. If your comsole breaks at 5months and 29 days, you’re SOL for any protection when that relpacement comes unless you pump out extra cash for more warrenty. As for the supposed ‘disc replacement program’, at the time it consisted of approx 10 games, none of which have sold more than 10 copies to people above the age of 7. Not to mention the thousands of screen freezes and non-functional DLC for GH.

So after these schennanagins (see what I did there), I turned to the PS3. I have had no problems with the PS3 and have had it for over a year. I think it has frozen on me once, that’s about it. The free online is a blessing on my credit card. The games for 360/PS3 are always very close in terms of visual/processing performance ,the difference there IMO are slim at best. I did prefer the Xbox’s HUD when you powered up (the old one, not the new Wii rip off garbo!) and prefer their messaging system over Sonys. PSHome is a total and complete waste of time for me. But overall, the performance and durability of the PS3 has made me loose a lot of faith in big M.

Side note: Xbox 360 Failure rate of 54%!!!!! That’s got to be against some kind of law.

Hockey talk in the FTB! XBOX Talk in the CC!
So…. are we getting Marleau??? The more people keep mentioning the possibility, the more I want him.

Although I am preparing my heart for the day he’s traded to Ottawa for Heatley.

Sometimes I think Patrick Marleau is really Pat Faloon.

Selfish or selfish-est?

I can’t believe that’s the best his agent could come up with for him to say. “Options”? You had options – Stay in Ottawa or go to Edmonton.

from The Hockey News

Gustavsson’s not on here. Should he be?

If Brian Burke didn’t have playoff aspirations then I’d say pull the trigger. But I don’t want my beloved team to become April Fools once Marleau’s production slides after April 1st.
