The Halo series directed by Spielberg might be kinda cool

If by "kinda cool" you mean "the exact same game as every other Halo game, except with a few different maps and maybe a new weapon," I agree.

I'm probably gonna stick with my 360 for right now. Never seen the merit of Playstation, if I'm honest, and I couldn't be less enthused about the possibility of a console that requires me to always be online. I like playing games by myself, tyvm.

Well...it's a series...directed by Steve Spielberg. As in video. As in not a game So that isn't what I meant at all (:

Oh. Gotcha.

Still not interested, though. To me, a Halo series would be like watching several hours of cutscenes without ever getting to play the game. That might be worthwhile if it was a game series that had interesting storylines and complex characters, but I've found every Halo campaign's storyline to be monstrously forgettable, so... yeah.

Based on this thread alone, I'ma give it One finger.

I dunno, Natalie. I didn't play much of Mario Kart Wii, but the bits I did play didn't overly enthuse me. I enjoyed MK64 and Double Dash a heck of a lot more.

It took me until last April to get around to buying a 360, because I had a complete loathing for the original Xbox and most of the people who played it, but I've actually enjoyed it a heck of a lot more than the Wii, if only because it just seemed like a lot of the games I was interested in playing (Fallout, Left 4 Dead, etc) weren't compatible with it. I doubt if I'll buy an Xbox One, because I know that marriage will (and should) put a significant dent in the amount of time I have for gaming, and grad school will put a massive strain on me as well, so I can't see me having nearly enough time to justify spending the thousand dollars or however much they'll want for the cruddy thing.

I'll probably buy up a lot of cheaper 360 titles once One's release date gets nearer (I've had my eye on a Red Dead Redemption combo pack for like forever, but I'm such a tightfisted person that I can't bring myself to pay more than $20 for it), then just enjoy those for the foreseeable future.

I actually have a lot of the same inflections as Abed IRL, but I have a much deeper voice. You can hear it here: http://www.ndimforums.com/fe/thread.asp?threadid=852&pp=15#new

Fun fact: the actor who plays my character's ex-wife is Robette.

They're Microsoft. I think they're used to being sued.
