Yeah, I know it's Tri-Arse, but I do put it into the same bracket as most Japanese Xbox RPGs.

Well after Lost Odyssey and Eternal Sonata I was hoping that maybe Japanese RPGs had got good again, but Last Remnant and Infinite Undiscovery really aren't helping.
They're just too dull and buggy, whereas I really can't find fault with LO and ES.

... bah, I might go back to Dead Space and Mass Effect again.

I need to send away my red ringed 360.
Was playing Prince of Persia before that happened.

I've heard both good and bad things about that.
But I only played Sands of Time from the original trilogy, so I don't really follow the 'return to form' comments and the like.

I might get it when it gets cheaper.

I hadn't played any since the original games (as in, the real old ones).
The game's been less than £20 since before Christmas.

Wow. Games go so cheap so quick these days.
It's hard to believe the games industry had a record turnover last financial year with so many games ending up so cheap so quickly and so many studios closing.

Pretty much every big release was half price within 3 weeks of hitting the shelves in November and December.
Left 4 Dead and Animal Crossing are the only two exceptions I can think of.

Oh my. My mother would love that. She's a complete pirate and was asking me a month or so back about R4 cards for my sister's DS because she doesn't want to spend money on games.

... in other news, I hate snow. It's alright to look at, and snowball fights are fun provided I constent to it, but walking around town was a nightmare today. Slipping everything, going slowly down stairs and ramps, snow blowing in my face. Argh.

In London, normally less than that.
We had about 8 though :D
Most snow in London since I was 10! My housemate was in Norway last February, and he said that it was verging on rivalling that :D

Well, it was more like snow on top of ice and sleet. The ice that collected on trees caused a lot of them to collapse, knocking down power lines and cutting power to nearly 1 million people here, alone. Most of my friends had no power for 3-4 days. So while the long weekend was nice, it wasn't ALL fun and games.

But we still handle winter storms better than England, apparently.

Oh whatever, Europe. Like you're so cool powering through your snow all the time. Big deal. It would be nice if more things came to a standstill more often. How about stopping to enjoy the snow? Preferably with some tea and biscuits at hand. :tea

To be honest there's too much constant media coverage through too many mediums these days.
Anything makes news, especially a bit of weather that's a bit out of the normal.
London might have come to a "standstill" in a way, but if anybody went to a park yesterday, they'd see most people were loving it.
Back at work today, not many had complaints about the spontaneous day off.

It hasn't snowed like that in or around London for something like 18 years, so those in control probably don't see it worth while having a contingency plan.
It was probably easier to just shut down transport systems than to try to step over the inflated bureaucracy regarding heath and safety etc.
Yes - any London bus WOULD be able to travel over a snowy road, but people are so scared about putting their workers in possible danger, that they'd rather nip that possibility at the bud, than carry on regardless (or with caution) and see if it unfolds alright.

Overall: yes we're shit with snow, but it happens so infrequently I don't really see it as that much of a problem... plus it's fun :D

Yeah, but you live in DC, where a snow flurry causes mild panic.

WTF? It's not like I was born here. I've had storms in NJ that put down probably almost a few feet of snow. Granted, NJ is still not as snowy as I would like, but it's a different story from DC.
