[quote=HomeDad]

You mean Final Fantasy XIII (13) right. Not the remake of Final Fantasy VIII (eight). I though that VIII was a good game but many considered it a flop.

I haven't played anything beyond Final Fantasy VII so I wouldn't know, I did enjoy that one a lot though.

I haven't really played anything past FF VII either.

I played FF1, then the next one I played was FF VII. I went back a couple of years ago and played FF 5 on my xbox SNES emulator. I beat the game and clocked in about 60 hours. I got about 13 hours into FF4 after that. I fired it up the other day to play it since my 360 is getting repaired... I had no idea where I was at on FF4 or where I was supposed to go!

I did play a beta for FF XI (The mmorpg) when it came to 360. I clocked in like 40 hours in 5 or 6 days! I decided that an MMORPG game like FF XI is entirely TOO addicting so I opted not to buy that one when it came out

I should also mention that I went back to play FF7 two days ago and it really sucks! One of the cool things was how neat the graphics were for the spells/ect. LEt me tell you that the graphics are HORRIBLE!

My coworker was complaining about her boyfriend getting into WoW. One time he and his friend were drunk, and it came out that his last relationship ended because he couldn't stop playing FF XI. When my coworker started dating him, he was spending a lot of time at the gym, wasn't really playing anything, only drank when they went out. Then the drunken admission about FF XI came out, and a couple days later he decided to start playing WoW. Now he doesn't make it to the gym, and he drinks a lot of beer while playing. He told her that he was just going to get to level 70 and then stop playing, but he got to level 70 a week or two ago, and guess what, he's still playing. She's unsure what to think of that.

She should create a character, raise it up to an insane level, and then just spend time hunting down his character, annihilating him over and over again.

Justice.

World of WarCRACK...

Did you ever see the WOW southpark episode. Now that was pretty funny!

many people have clocked in MONTHS of GAME HOURS in Final fantasy XI and WOW.

Games that addicting should be put in the same category as some illegal substances!

The FF XI beta even had a note on it that said something like "The world of FFXI can be very fun and addicting. Please do not forget your real life in the process of playing this game and don't forget to go outside."

I like games, but I also enjoy being outside... fishing, camping, disc golf, working out, ect.

I feel lazy if I don't work out at least a few times a week

thanks for the link. I haven't touched GT in a while, but this Prologue version looks fantastic! I'll stop by your site.

I recently tested MA and it wasn't *THAT* much better that I *HAD* to get it. PS3 is a nice blu-ray player.

I should be more clear. I have Marantz SR8001 (can't decode MA) and had SR8002 to play with. Admittedly, Live Free or Die Hard isn't the best audio to test with, but I don't know that I saw that much difference. I also tested Flight of the Phoenix, and again, not much difference between 8001 and 8002.

I've been a long time MMPORPG player. EQ, EQII, Warcraft and now Vanguard. It is extremely addictive but I limit myself to playing on nights when my real life buddies and I arrange to play. Usually Friday nights (cause we are all married and boring as weekends often go) and the occasional Wed. night when we arrange via email we will all play.

It's a blast. I myself have never reached maximum levels in any game because I don't play enough but I have seen other friends (and other players I have come to know online) who seem to live 90% of their lives in these fantasy worlds. Honestly, I don't know how they make enough money to survive or don't look like albinos with even worse health problems.

Just so I don't feel guilty, I am now wondering just how many BD movies on average have DTS Master as their only HD sound format. I know they all have regular Dolby type options which are still pretty good. Just trying to get a feel for how much of an impact the lone PS3 weakness creates.

Foroza motorsport2 is a great game , another game the kids and I are having a lot of fun on is Burnout Paradise, it's a little more difficult than the previous burnout games, but the free drive is a blast and the graphics are spectacular.
